How to CHANGE an ENGINE on a lawn mower

  • I picked up a discarded MTD Yard Machines walk behind push mower from the landfill in hopes that I could swap the bad engine on it. In this video, I am replacing that bad engine with a good one from an older MTD mower that I have had for 15 years.

    I found a free lawn mower on the side of the road, the engine was dead. I found another free mower and the deck was good. A quick engine swap made a great free mower. The only issue I went from a self propelled to a push however I have a small property and is relatively flat.

    The grass bag on the old mower is decent size. Maybe hang on to it. You might find another MTD deck using a bagger. My dad had an MTD mower from the mid 90s. The handle on it seemed really long with a large bag that's bigger than what you find today.

    Me ward. Any experience using predator. I’ve gotten rid of a couple mowers I love ( 30” residential toro 2 blades ). I would have lived to put a predator engine as the Briggs Stratton just didn’t last. Any numbers of cc or hp we need to pay attention to. The thing I ran into is the numbers aren’t exact same on old engine vs new engine. So I figured I’d buy the same Briggs and put it in old mower or sell used as is mower and buy new mower. I always bought new but wished I knew more. THANKS

    If the wheels were the problem, couldn't you just replace them (taking the good wheels from the donor mower)? That way you can have the bagging feature of the other one. I guess replacing the engine may have been easier

    • @caseysanguins9490
      @caseysanguins9490 3 года назад

      @Dave Noble that is what I originally wanted, yes. However it also cuts much better, mulches the clippings smaller. I have a couple trees that are constantly dropping branches and it sucks them in and chimps them up enough that they break down in .y compost bin much faster. Great for a clean up mow before the reel goes over it. Just make sure you balance them up. It takes a little doing to get it done so the whole mower doesn't vibrate to death. But its worth it. Side note, the extra weight makes starting it WAY easier, which was unexpected.
