Ok, I have to admit that you got me on that one. When you started putting the nameplate on, finishing up the restore, the first thing I thought was “now it’s a “looking at” lawnmower.” Boy was I wrong! You went and cut the grass with it, which is the exact same thing I would’ve done as I restore things to put them to good use, just like you did. Well done!
My father built an electric mower back in 1953 when I was 7 years old. The house we lived in at the time didn't have a very good electrical service. Every time he hit a clump of thick grass the tube on our TV would go out and not come back on for about 30 seconds. Made it impossible to watch Superman.
Stories like that make me think of my grandparents old TV they had the Space Command remote that used sound frequencies, I quickly found out when I was a kid eating cereal from a porcelain bowl with a metal spoon that when you hit the bowl with the spoon just right you could change the channels 😂
@@PreservationEnthusiast lol funny you say that, this happened like 15 years ago, that TV had been long dead and was finally getting taken out of the house, trying to lift that heavy thing into the back of his pickup my uncle dropped it, landed screen down on the driveway and the tube went, sounded like a bomb went off all the neighbors came outside 🤣
@@tomrepici9608 did you watch the entire video?? He had to keep stopping because the thick grass was slowing it down. This thing is not at all powerful for an electric motor-electric motors today have much more cutting power than this.
@@Goodvibes-Adventures Oh gosh I never thought of changing the deck height on that thing. Looks like it meant unbolting all wheels and moving them all to another hole on each leg.
Very nice and beautiful restoration job on that old electric lawn mower. It's really nice to see something old like that be restored. Sometimes that's better than buying something brand new.
That was one of the most amazing refurbishing projects I've ever seen. Nothing was missed. And your attention to detail made the difference. The only issue I saw was looks like the actual cutting blade(s) are below the deck. And therefore you really need to watch where you mow with that type setup. But other than that, pure amazing enjoyment to see such a transfer of an old rusty piece of mowing equipment brough back to better than new condition... Thumbs Up!
The diameter of the wheels determine the height of the blades. The blades are about midway of the wheels. Ignore the deck. Put on wheels with wider diameter, it will cut even higher.
@@kittyhawk7060 The actual motor shaft makes the cutting blade sit below the deck instead of up inside the deck. So that makes the blade capable of hitting things that the deck would stop it from doing. You could put any diameter wheels on this mower but the cutting blade would still be below the deck... Hope that explains it better.
The thing that really amazed is that you were able to find tires for that thing. Funniest thing was that cord. Looks like the previous owner ran over it a time or two. Great work!
That looks a whole lot more durable and powerful than modern USA (China) electric or battery powered mowers. Bet those won’t be around in a hundred years. Great restoration!
@@billykulim5202don’t talk such shit. Mains powered mowers have been around for a very long time. Millions of people have managed perfectly fine with them before shitty battery powered ones.
Wow!! You did a TOTALLY AWESOME restoration on that mower, my friend!! I must admit, I started watching your video about 3 times before this, and each time I had to stop; to go away somewhere. As a result, I lost track of it, each time; but when I found it again a little while ago, I wasn't about to pass it by, & I'm sure glad that I didn't, because watching you "transform" this mower back to looking like new again, was totally enjoyable!! I look forward to more great videos of yours, just like this one! Highest Regards! Ron Abilene, TX. USA.
You Sir have an amazing skill!!!! You absolutely brought new life to that rustec out electrical hazard. That mower looks incredible. If it were me after the demo id clean it back up and kinda make a show area for your restored mowers
i have an entire video playlist of restoration videos to fall asleep to, but this one i had to stay up and watch, it satisfying to watch you actually use it too, itd make the difference on to watch or not
Looks really good. For practical use, I might add a flexible mast (spring loaded?) to the handle to hold the wire away from the blades when backing up.
I really enjoy videos like this. It's like going back in time. Incredible work! I can see something like this going for thousands, truly a one-of-kind piece of machinery. 👍👍
Wow! This mower is so simple i feel like i can make one as easily as it took you to restore one. The hardest part would be the curved rake overhang area. its a lot of curves with a lot of complex cuts.
My granddad had one like this. You flipped the handle to change directions without twisting the power cord. It had a disc with four small blades under the deck. That little mower would do a good job. I sure wish I had his. He died in 1962.
This inspired me, got many leaves in the yard and if i set my old furnace fan on a hand truck , fasten it down , i got me a leaf blower. Great job on the mower .
It’s utterly fascinating to see how it’s put together and how you take it apart and refinish it! As a non-mechanical type person, I loved watching this video! I love seeing the old made usable again and wish I had a mower like this!
Great job I hope to see Maura videos and that thing works better than a lot of the machines today. Thanks for sharing it merry Christmas happy new year.
It looks like a child's toy but it's a wolf in sheep's clothing. No surprise, though. That mower is all motor, the weight of which helps keep all that torque planted. Excellent work! Both in restoration and video.
Absolutely incredible! I thought it would go in a museum for the manufacturer? Great attention to detail! I was floored! This is obviously made for a non USA market based on that electrical plug? Great content! I found this in my YT feed. Glad I watched! I subscribed immediately! I was surprised that motor & capacitor still worked all these years later?
welldone for your steroration very good job my name is ermis i heard a lot of times this mower stailed or slow down on this grass a lot of times be carefull this mower is made for smaller grass cause when stailed or slow down a lot of times may cause the mower and motor an unknown problem after long time so again well done for this mower comes back to life you are very goood to fix things but for this mower be carefull in the tall grass

There is no way after all that work, could I bring myself to muck it up. I’d put that thing in my living room under glass as a showpiece!

He needed to cut the lawn - didn’t touch it all summer while fixing the mower! 😝

Wow... That is the Honey Badger of mowers. The way it just tore through that thick heavy grass in one shot without slowing. Epic rebuild.
I was thinking the same - that motor is JUICY. No bogging nor lag - just went right in and didn't stop.
A mini-monster! They don’t make them like they used to!

@@japlunkett6789 To be honest its not made to chop down a jungle..its for regular mowing and it would prob do fine for that
@@rasalghul1263 this is true but its still tiny, cant be sure but it looked like a 12-14 inch wide blade
My dad had one of this model. We had to watch the Power cable to not let it stay on the blade way. It brought me memories. Thank you
You can add a cord recoil that allows cord to recoil at the point it's plugged to...But I would have raised the deck to highest setting 😊

Well that mower is definitely a Tennessee UT fan.
Everything is cool except for electricity, these connections are a disaster.
Very impressed with the power that little mower has! Beautiful paint job!
im not, the blade was like a foot wide, i got weed whacker on a platform vibes
The thing that really amazed is that you were able to find tires for that thing. Funniest thing was that cord. Looks like the previous owner ran over it a time or two. Great work!
That would have been my FIRST upgrade! Some sort of cord recoil.
Wow, that thing is a little lawn beast!
I love induction motors, they are a force to contend with.
That looks a whole lot more durable and powerful than modern USA (China) electric or battery powered mowers. Bet those won’t be around in a hundred years. Great restoration!
I think that the people who built these mowers should be very proud of their work and I hope they keep going just like their mower's 👍🇬🇧
I don't think I've ever seen a corded power mower before. That's honestly pretty neat!
They were all corded before small, lightweight batteries came around.
They still sell them
This thing is awesome! Props for actually putting it to work!
My dad had one of these back inn the 70s I can remember him expertly manuvering the cord.
Wow that wa so cool. Old school as mower restoration and demolition that it runs. Im very impressed
Ai sim!!! um canal BR de restauração!!! otimo trabalho.
Absolutely stunning rehab.....You have serious skills brother....!!
From crusty to trusty, that thing belongs in a museum 🎉
should upgrade it to cordless, lawn mower with cable tangling are asking for trouble
@@billykulim5202 waas thinking the same thing
@@billykulim5202don’t talk such shit. Mains powered mowers have been around for a very long time. Millions of people have managed perfectly fine with them before shitty battery powered ones.
Best part was that you actually put that baby to work. Awesome job on the resto!
Wow that was an amazing restoration! That mower came out like new and then you just give it the business. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow!!
You did a TOTALLY AWESOME restoration on that mower, my friend!!
I must admit, I started watching your video about 3 times before this, and each time I had to stop; to go away somewhere.

Thank you for showing it in action after the restoration! Man, that is one tiny mower, though lol, but it's got some power!
That is so cool, first that folks used electric mowers so long ago, and second that you took time for such a gone restoration. Thanks! 😀
You Sir have an amazing skill!!!! You absolutely brought new life to that rustec out electrical hazard. That mower looks incredible. If it were me after the demo id clean it back up and kinda make a show area for your restored mowers
Very well done and impressive restoration!
Quality professional work
You did a fantastic job ! Looking forward to more videos from you.
Awesome job restoring such an antique. After seeing it work, goes to show how far modern technology has come as far as cut quality goes!!
Well said. Modern mowers are made from plastic, with weak blades and engines. This old model is so much more powerful and robust.
This man is an d world craftsman .!!!!! Absolutely beautiful.!!!!!!
SWEET RESTORING ELECTRIC LAWN MOWER ! YOU ARE VERY SKILLED DUDE!!! I GIVE YOU 10 STARS ! VERY PROFESSIONAL JOB .
Looks like that grass was last cut when the mower was brand new! LOL
Its alittle beast!!! Awesome renovation. 👌
It's refreshing to watch a genuine restoration and one without the use of latex gloves, pliars, or tweezers, to pick every single part up. Thank you.
Never watched your channel before, nor any restoration content for that matter. Watched this whole video though, though! Absolutely impressive work!
Great job! Such a small & cute lawn mower, but so efficient & powerful, amazing. 😉👌👏
That thing is a beast! BEAUTIFUL restoration. Very detailed and clean work!
i have an entire video playlist of restoration videos to fall asleep to, but this one i had to stay up and watch, it satisfying to watch you actually use it too, itd make the difference on to watch or not
Yay.... another lawn mower restoration video! I'm just enjoying watching the process!😁

Unbelievable. Such an amazing restoration.
I had one of these in the early 70's it was a beast had it for twenty years.
You do great work a real craftsman , Amen ...
*BRAVO! Majestic restoration. :)*
That electric motor looks like a beast! Absolutely incredible job of restoration!
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings to you and your family
Thank you very much, my friend!
I wish you the same!
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
Great Job
The mower might push easier in the other direction, just a thought.
Yes, it's even designed to do that.
I love videos like this. If I did this I would think a bright colored cord would make more sense. Great job none the less, that thing is a beast.
Total respect for these skills. The patience to get it to the finish line is outstanding.
I Remember the mowers that only cut when your arms were moving back and forth or you were walking.😁👍
This inspired me, got many leaves in the yard and if i set my old furnace fan on a hand truck , fasten it down , i got me a leaf blower. Great job on the mower .
Excelente restauración!! Me entretuve mucho viendo su trabajo amigo. Gracias!!
Absolutely epic, loving the white and orange 👍
It’s utterly fascinating to see how it’s put together and how you take it apart and refinish it! As a non-mechanical type person, I loved watching this video!
I love seeing the old made usable again and wish I had a mower like this!
Wow you clearly are a master of your craft, Best restoration I have seen so far. Hell of a job well done.
thanks
Nice job on the restoration! It works like a champ!
Земля очень плоский, удобный и без камней. Красивейший аппарат, в общем работать на удовольствие..!
It’s good to see someone who knows what they’re doing
very thorough, and meticulous..good job padna
Great job. Liked watching.
Great job I hope to see Maura videos and that thing works better than a lot of the machines today. Thanks for sharing it merry Christmas happy new year.
Wowzers! Tjat is a little workhorse of a mower! Fantastc! ❤❤❤
Restoring the mower is one thing. Getting the motor to work is a wow to me.
you have a gold hands for restoration, well done 👏👏👏👏
That thing slayed that grass! Great job!
Súper great job.. is super powerful little machine

Beautiful mower, excellent work.
As a landscaper who cuts grass everyday in North Carolina. That is one bad ass electric mower. That grass would bog down a gas push mower for sure.
Ótima restauração! A máquina ficou como nova!
Well 👍
That's one capable little thing.
Wow worked pretty well.
Incredible restoration and even MORE incredible performance!!!!!
It looks brand new! You are good at what you do!😊
Needle Scalers are one of the best tools ever created, in my opinion. I love those things.
Little thing cuts pretty good. And now it looks good. 👍
Restoration and the mowering was so satisfying
That's awesome!!
The hose clamp... and convoluted black tube cheapen the look though.
Great restoration! Way to use it as intended!
Absolutely incredible! I thought it would go in a museum for the manufacturer? Great attention to detail! I was floored! This is obviously made for a non USA market based on that electrical plug?

You made that better than when it was brand new
Absolutely brilliant sir you are a true artist 🫡🙏🏽💯💯👍🏽

Awesome work! It looks like new again!
what a lovely little mower! love the color you picked out works well for an electric one
Great job looks new again
Magnífico trabajo,una lastima ensusiarla jaja,saludos desde Argentina.🇦🇷👌👏👍
Awesome job! I’ve never seen one like that.
Excellent work. Greetings from Miami, where in summer, you have to cut your lawn every two weeks.
First time I've seen a needle gun used in a restoration video. I LOVE IT! 5:02
Was going to say the same. Loved seeing the needle gun.
That's awesome. Great work...
I am impressed that it cuts such thick grass.
Great video, enjoyed the whole thing. I am so happy you cut grass at the end, I was dying to see it in action!
thanks
