    I've seen those Snapper push mowers since the 1970s(as longasIcanremember). I really don't know jack about mowers. But the Snapper brand seemed special. We had a small yard and a front throwing McClane reel mower. No big deal. I was curious about the Snapper mowers : how good are they? Oh. I think that you can drive a tractor on public roads without registration...if it has one of those triangular signs on the back. ...but double check yir state laws and local ordinances... that Craftsman is a beast. get a cup holder!

    Purple Power degreaser is my preferred cleaner. Followed by Dawn(to rinse and neutralize the PP). Zep Heavy Duty degreaser is PURPLE, curiously??? They both work excellently. But be careful, wear gloves, etc.: THEY WILL STRIP THE OILS FROM YIR SKIN . They also will destroy some stuff. So don't leave yir junk soaking in that stuff(without testing). PP makes good hand cleaner. Some of the best that I've ever used. I'm sure that there are a dozen other hand cleaners that work excellently, but I know PP is as good as it gets. Sorry about sounding like a commercial, but I hate cheap, lousy, ineffective degreasers that don't do JACK...except swindle money from you and yir wallet.

      @@JeffsLittleEngineService I wish that the manufacturers of those products would mail out test samples of each. I'm sure that most people are aware of Dawn Dishwashiing liquid and its effectiveness on removing oil from birds... Fewer people are aware of Purple Power Degreaser or their hand soap. My friend turned me onto Purple Power Degreaser: he threw a bunch of denim jeans on the cement driveway and sprayed on some P-P. Then he sprayed the jeans with his pressure washer. BAM! The stains were gone. ...in about 2 minutes. And he cleaned a few shirts too. In less than 5 minutes, the clothing was on the line, CLEAN! Better than a Maytag Neptune and without burning up 30 minutes of WATTS AND YOUR TIME! As far as the hand soap: it was on sale; I tried it out. The hand soap ROCKS! Sure it cleans them well, but that's not what really stands out. It has lanolin and other stuff(I ain't no chemist nor cosmetologist...) THAT INSTANTLY MAKE YOUR HANDS FEEL BETTER! Like I said, if you can try it before you purchase it... I have no connection with those companies. I'm 58 and have tried many things over that time. This knowledge will save people money, time, and grief. Hey, that's the theme of yir show! Caution: don't git too close with that pressure washer, it'll slice yir Levis in two!

    Great video Jeff! Where are you ? It looks like it is nice and warm. I am in Pennsylvania and it is getting progressively colder every day. I miss the warm weather and being able to work outside every day. I have a bunch of applications in for some high level jobs in Big Pharma as well as working on a bunch of landscape mowers . I am anxious to see what pans out first. With my luck I will be working all day as a chemical engineer and then all night repairing small engines and I'lll burn out in six months...lol At least I will be able to buy my dream house and repair my vintage Porsche that I found in a barn in Western Pa.

    Looked like an old one by the way it was built. If you said the year I missed it. Hard to believe you got it running with such little work. I know it is not perfect yet but if you want to you will make it close to perfect. First time I would drive my lawn tractor on the road I would be arrested and hauled off. Those were some streets, yards and views. Ok so I am pretty sure this was not in Florida or New Orleans so can you tell me what State this was filmed in?
    Thanks for the videos.

    You can do that. Yes! And one more thing to ya on that part. Is you half to unbolt the engine twist it to where the bottom of the engine faces the back of the ridding lawnmower rear bar. Then your able to store it up right without oil pouring out of the engine.& etc. The bottom is actually called the crankcase oil galley pan.
