    I picked up this free craftsman riding mower a couple weeks ago after seeing the ad on the marketplace. The previous owners said it had multiple issues and would not start. Lets jump right into things and see what we can do to fix it up and get it mowing again.
    Thank you all for the support.

    Alex, just watched this video from a year ago, on trouble shooting the electrics on these old mowers, the battery ground to the frame is bad about rusting and not making contact. I've had to just make a new hole and put the battery cable in the frame, of course you probably know this already, just info. Enjoy your videos! Also, the old B/S flat head/Lhead engines run when the intek's are in the scrap pile!

      Anytime brother, my problem is dirt dobbers in my shop, I'll be working on something and one will fly in with a load of mud and run smooth into the side of my head, I guess they can't maneuver as well when they're loaded down. But when I'm bored I get a broom stick and play dobber baseball with them. 🙂🙂
