I did your blade conversion on a Peak Power SP. I used the mulch blades. WOW! What a difference! Absolutely no bailing as with the single mulch blade. A few comments. Buy the EGO edger attachment. I went from an 1 hour 15 minutes edging with horrible lines to 30 minutes beautiful lines. Also when storing you mower, DO NOT collapse the top half of the handle (yah it takes up more space). It creates a flex stress point in the wire harness and one of the self propel wires WILL break. I have seen this on three SP mowers including my own. Two of the mowers were out of warranty and I fixed by replacing the broken wire. One was still under warranty and EGO fixed it.
Noice!!! Yes I have the edger attachment it’s the best!!! And thanks for the advice I’m def leaving it up and not collapsed on my 16” trimmer!!!! Thanks for tuning in!!!! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
Great detailed upgrade instruction on the retrofitting the Select Cut High Lift Dual blades (AB2102D) onto the LM2100SP. I did this same conversion on my LM2102SP last year and the cut was wonderful. Only drawback was the battery life was shorter especially during extremely hot days due to the none brushless 1000W 5.9 ft-lb torque motor. To solve this matter, at the end of 2022 winter season I was able to sell the unit and got a one year old Peak Power Technology Dual Battery Ports LM2142SP for $50.00 difference. Even though EGO has never put a penny on advertise the LM2142SP, it is actually EGO's first lawnmower that comes with the 1200W 8.3 ft-lb (when using total minimum of 10.0Ah power) brushless motor now using on the little brother LM2156SP XP but with more advanced Peak Power Technology to house two batteries while keeping them cool during operation to produce full peek power without dropping at all time. Did my retrofit again on the LM2142SP and now I have a.... 20.0Ah (10.0Ah x 2) Select Cut Peak Power Technology Dual Battery Ports LM2146SP XP running at about 9.0 ft-lb torque.....Zoom.... Zoom under the hot sun with 150 minutes runtime baby! Zoom.... Zoom 😎
Oh man!!! That is awesome! 150 on the run time damn and the power that’s like 128gigs of ram on a macbook 😂😂😂😂 thank you for the info I’m def gonna look into this!!!! 🙌🏾😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@fata3176 LM2146SP since EGO codes the last digit to go with the battery capacity so "6"=10.0Ah just like the 2-stage SNT2406 with 2 x 10.0Ah batteries and LM2156SP with single 10.0Ah battery. The chamber will fit any size battery easily.
Man I loved your video on this conversion so much !! I have the Lm2100 and have always been wanting to find a way do do this safe and proper. Seen another video over a year ago on someone doing it but didn't buy the proper parts and the blade was too low didn't want to go that route so I appreciate you taking the time to even give the part numbers and the website where you ordered them from thank you so much
Oh man thank you so much for the comment means alot! Yeah whats the point if it's not safe and right you know! You are going to love the conversion! Team LM2100!!!! 😂☺🙏🏾🤙🏾
Hey, I just did this upgrade and my lord it's a different mower. Thank you for the tip and I appreciate all you do and the information you give. Also, you make it fun and not a chore. Blessings
THANKS for this very helpful recommendation and excellent step by step instructions. the parts and the bagging blade put on today. Made a big difference to the cut and lift on my 4 year old ego. One downside- batteries seem to take a hit with the extra blade but I've got plenty 🤙
Just bought the single blade Ego. Tried it out and am not happy with the cut overall. Was going to go back and return the recently purchased Ego ( if they would do that) and pay the extra money to upgrade. Then out of the blue you show up with this great video. I am not mechanically inclined but believe with your instructions and well put together tutorial, I am going to give a try. Thanks for the video.
I used the single blade for 2 seasons and definitely felt something missing. For me it was fine the cut was decent but not perfect. I was looking at the $700 egos but Once I did this conversion I started to laugh at the $700 egos 😂 Next video is coming out today I put the new mulching blade on the conversion! It’s a dream! Doesn’t feel as heavy as the high lift blade and doesn’t feel like it’s bogging down the 7.5ah battery. These dual blades make a major difference 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾 I do have the 7.5ah battery I want to get the 10ah it would make a big difference.
Brah, just mowed the lawn for the first time yesterday in MN before laying down a Scott’s triple action. Warming up here and things are greening up. Super pumped to be joining you all in #lawnszn let’s go!
Yes! Let's go!!! Super exciting my dude can't wait to see some epic greenness! Scott's triple action is awesome! I normally use that but I had so much of the STA-GREEN Weed and feed I had to get rid of it first😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
Thanks, just did the conversion and it was a mixed bag for me. For one thing, the battery drained much faster, that was to be expected, but it ran out in about 20 minutes. Secondly, I noticed the cut at places was very uneven, which was the main reason I did the conversion in the first place. There were some areas that cut very nicely, but overall, I was not impressed. In my opinion, I don't think this lawn mower does well on slight slopes or grasses like Bermuda. Thinking about going back to a more powerful gas mower, because the newer, more powerful EGO mowers are too expensive, and I have had this one for just over 4 years.
Oh wow it’s lasted you a long time! Yeah I have the 7.5ah battery I get easy 35-45 min consistent run time! I noticed the extended run time blades and the mulching blades don’t effect the battery as much as the high lift blades do though 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥
Good job !!!!! What an excellent video. Very precise very detailed and well done providing all the part numbers !!!! I think im gonna try this mod !!!!! And I just may follow all the instructions here as yes , I really like my ankles !! Only thing ....I didnt find the blade set on Parts warehouse....Guess I'll just order it from lowes Again that was one very informative and entertaining video !!! Thanks so much !!!
Thank you for tuning in! Yes the blades are at lowes or ace for sure just a quick tip high lift blades takes a toll on the motor if you have issues try the mulching blades or the extended use blades I find it is t working as hard with the mulching blades 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Thank you brother you made doing this easy awSome video i got same blade set up and all the hardware can’t wait to try it used parts warehouse as well they where great and easy to deal with
LOL. I ordered the parts you listed. Back ordered🙃. Finally received them after 2 months. They sent the wrong bolts with hex heads and nuts were different thread! Found only one other store for the bolts, power+plus. I'm assuming a long wait. Used 2 standard 3/8 carriage bolts nuts lock washers for now. Will test this week. Thx for the info.
Parts warehouse is currently having a issue with inventory. Been waiting for over a month for my order to ship. About ready to cancel it and look elsewhere
Hey man. I’ve seen many good videos on this conversion. All I can say is get some power tools 😂. Nah I really came to say I appreciate the production value to your vid. Super quality. Thank you. Also. Get you a power tool 😂 Can confirm. You will cut your ankles off. 😂 Do you feel it reduces battery life or has trouble spinning the blades up to speed. I was the guy that tried it without the parts and I broke the motor bushing. But it seemed like it didn’t get up to speed in correct time. Plus I cut off my ankle and my middle foot toe. So I went back to single.
Great instructions, though I seem to have an issue. I ordered all the parts from Parts Warehouse as you indicated. However, the replacement flange bolt is the same size as the original flange bolt. Given the narrower thickness of the fan, it would seem that the replacement flange bolt should be shorter? I wondering if Parts Warehouse sent me the wrong bolt (even though it has the correct part number on the package). Could you possibly tell me the length of the replacement flange bolt? Thanks!
I've tired this conversion and for some reason the blades push up against the fan and when I tighten it just spins the fan and blades and it doesn't tighten all the way. So weird.
@@kc3717 aye nice!!!! yeah trained by the best here in Seattle haha never made it to Los Angeles making money moves was more important totally regret that... bitter sweet lol hahaha
I love Ego and I've invested a lot into their products.. but lately they've been disappointing me. I have their mower (purchased 3 years ago).. a wire for one of the safety checks became messed up (from the foldup design) so I had to fix that in order for it to start. Now the back right rear wheel locks up when going backwards after using the self propel. And one of the two 5.0ah batteries I have flashes yellow after using it for 2 minutes. I might just try dealing with their customer support, but at this point I'm considering Ryobi with all of the new products they are coming out with.
oh no! Yeah nothing but good things over here in yardbrah land... I have heard nothing but good things with Ryobi my neighbor Rick across the street has the whole Ryobi lineup and his yard looks fantastic! That new Ryobi 40v for $299 is tempting me lol haha
Don't go messin with my Z3! I am getting it out of storage today and going for a drive in my Canadian Tuxedo. With the Red Plaid upgrade! Waiting for my grass to grow....lol. Might have to help it with some liquid Fert.....sprayer time. You know what I mean....lol
Definitely enjoyed your video as I just bought an LM2102 7.5ah single blade system and I'm excited to change the blades, though I really need a mulching blade, because I have a lot of leaves that fall from the trees!... But really like your high lift idea also and how you took extra care with putting it on the right way!... You explained it very well and I totally agree! This is a machine, be careful how you do with it!... I was thinking you might want to put just a dab of lock-tight on the bolts???... Just a thought!
Yes for sure lock tight is essential but I’m actually wanting to go try out the mulch blades myself! I torque it down to 30 lbs every week just in case! Thanks for tuning in!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah I used to use the 5.0 but after 45 minutes I got annoyed. The 7.5 is good for my 60 minute mow. I have the EGO snow blower and use the 7.5 & 5.0 in it.
It's louder and feels more powerful because of the added weight of the second blade. The mower detects more resistance and therefore, the 'turbo' mode kicks in, resulting in a decreased run time. Continued use of these retrofitted blades will cause overheating and quickly wear out the motor, voiding the warranty. The LM2100 is not designed to handle the additional weight/torque. I would think twice before going this route.
Sup yardbrah! I did this conversion about 3 months ago and followed this great video. I have the self propelled though. It cuts so much better and lifts better too with this conversion. I bought the new LM2114SP and thought I could do the same conversion. Nope. Everything fits great without the dual blades being too low and not it’s proper height setting. I turn it on and it starts for about 2 seconds then stops. No sort of light comes on though to warn me that something is off. The battery was on 1 bar though and maybe it needs more juice and or a 7.5ah or bigger. I was at 1 bar with the 6ah it came with. Maybe that was it? Hopefully! Cause I don’t think I could go back to the single high lift blade 😂🤙🏼
Aye nice! Yeah I use 7.5ah they say it’s not power related but I notice when I use the 4ah it does bog down more often… also check your torque mine is around 36-40 lbs of torque 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
@@briandoiron8438 what’s up! No it wouldn’t work! I was bummed out about it and couldn’t return it at Lowe’s. But, the newest one bogs down A LOT with even semi thick grass. I’m sticking to the older one for the dual blade reason and rarely shuts down on me when grass is thick. Hope this helps 🤙🏼
@@ernanhernandez7039 Thanks for the update. I was going to just take the fan module and blades off my broken 2135 and try it anyway to see what happens :-) I have a couple weeks to bring back the 2114. I just may.
@@YardBrah yoo me to i even had a Levin coupe 1983 from japan sold it cause my friend crashed it... but i saw what the new owner did with it and i regret selling it it was so clean! love your videos by the way ! i work in lawn care and you have a verry nice lawn and give it alot of attention and i love it keep it up BRAH!!🤙
Thank you man for sharing the list of parts. I’m going to order the parts and upgrade my mower; I liked the wrench could you share name or link so I can order one? Thanks.
nice vid! I just bought a LM2100sp lowe's return for $60, going to use it for a while stock but good to know about this mod. what do the added wheels off the back do? thanks!
Great video. I've been searching for a way to upgrade to the dual blade system. I know you bag but I mulch. Do you happen to know the part numbers for the dual blade system for mulching,? Thanks
I just put the dual mulching blades on use the same parts the blade number is AB2101D 😊 I like the mulching blades it seems the ego mower isn’t working as hard to spin!😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Nice conversion man, would this work with the first batch of egos, cant even remember what model it is, but it's one of the first ones, push only, bought it in 2016.
Hey yard brah! Did the exact same thing but my results were mixed. It started off great with my back and side yards but missed more grass in the front yard then the old single blade. Not sure why. Grass was morning dew wet but figured the upgrade would demolish it. Any ideas? Thanks! St Augustine Grass btw
Oh man… if everything is installed properly this thing is trimming super even… maybe you have grooves in the soil? Mine is pretty level on the main lawn but I will see “Mohawks” on the sidewalk strips where the ground is a little grooved from going the same direction everytime 😊🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah the yard is pretty even. No mohawks, just single blades of grass after a passover. SP speed is at half or less. Noticed a lot of grass mulch on bottom of deck, cleaned it and nothing changed. Had to go over front yard again for mental reasons lol. Noticed battery life took a drop. Used to get about 2 cuts on a full charge but now 1 1/3. Wonder if new blades need to be sharpened?
I mean it is working a bit harder with the high lift blade... with the mulching dual blade it doesn't seem to effect it. I have 7.5ah and havn't noticed a huge decline in battery life... then again I only mow 1100 sq ft in the front with the ego so I never run out of battery time! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
1/ Americans freakin LOVE their lawns 2/ You will also measure in ANY fraction of an inch, but millimetres!? Nah work of the devil those. 3/ ya'll love to "go ahead"
@@YardBrah thanks for the tip! I came across this video and watched your recent one with the neighbors. Love the content. You got a new subscriber in me brah 🤙🏼
Yes the one in the video is the checkmate striper kit , I also have the ego brand one as well Checkmate striper www.bigleaguelawns.com/checkmatetrad-lawn-striper-for-ego21-plastic.html Ego brand www.acmetools.com/ego-power-striping-kit-for-21-walk-behind-lawn-mower-ar2100/195532100011.html 😊🤙🏾
I have an LM2100SP, and I didn't want to have to bug you email. I did take pictures of the model and the mower itself. Will it work on this model? Like the lawn mower won't stop with the flashing red light or any error codes? I'm just curious before I do it I got all the parts in my basket it looks like a very simple swap out. It's just obviously you know how much these things cost we just got it last summer and the one blade is just not cutting it literally tired of making double passes so when I saw there was a right way to do this and saw your video I thought maybe it is possible. By the way I thought it was a good video of yours and I like the way you mixed some humor in there and it's a DIY 👍. My other question is how much battery life do you lose because I really don't have that big of a yard but it's thick grass.
This is on the lm2100 and it works awesome no codes nothing but I also have a 7.5ah battery! I do have the lm2100sp but the parts I ordered for the conversion have not shown up yet but it should be the same thing! Same mower just self propelled 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the very quick response I do appreciate it. I ordered the parts listed. Which blades would you recommend for the upgrade? High Lift, Mulch or Extended Life? I know which ever set I use will be better than this single black blade that is on there now.
@@michaelkosinski5671 after testing all three I would def go with the mulching blades! they still bag well if you need to bag and it doesn't bog down the battery like the highlift does! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾
Thank you very much for the video and the basically helping me directly. When the parts get here and I do it and I will do it carefully and completely correct like in your video. And I will let you know how it works out. Thanks again 👍
Hey YardBrah I messaged you a couple weeks ago about the great video of the upgrade process that I decided to go for. I ordered the parts 7-31-2022. It still says processing and all messages are identical "something sorry about new product and other things". First the robot message said 8-18-22 but the last message says now it will ship on or hopefully by 8-26-22 with no guarantees. My question was if you don't mind me asking was it like that with you and also if you don't mind me asking how long did it take? I only ask you because I'm not getting anywhere with this company. I apologize to bother you man.
@@YardBrah nice ! My wife is Filipino. A couple months ago we were at a Dodgers game for Filipino night. They gave us a nice jersey that was Filipino theme. It was only for fans who purchased the package.
@@8_one_8 Oh that's dope!!!!! Send me a pic would love to see that! Man I miss LA i was down there for a bit!!!! drove past fast and the furious house and dodgers stadium frequently 😂 yardbrah@gmail.com
@@YardBrah I sure will. Man Filipinos know how to party . 😂 it was one of the most kickback games I been to. Loved the vibe. Even Jo Koy did the Intro to start the game. Don’t miss the next one !
Yes from my understanding any ego without select cut has a thicker fan so you have to get the thinner select cut fan that’s mentioned in the vid! You’re gonna love it! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
When I installed the new blades and was torquing the center bolt down I noticed the plastic fan was turning behind the blade as I tightened it down it’s was spinning however the blade was against the blade stop pin. That didn’t seem right it didn’t want to tighten have you experienced this before? And is thus correct?
Yes. The same thing happened to me however I was able to fix it. Hold the plastic fan with one hand so it doesn't move and start tightening with the other hand. If you start it off it will catch and lock into place.
My LM2100 mower unfortunately will not turn over with the dual blades on. I have all the right parts and fear I have wasted around $70 in parts for the dual blades and hardware. It gives me an overload error as if the motor has too much resistance I put the single blade back on and it starts right up… very disappointed
Oh no I have zero issues with this modification. What ah battery are you using I mean I doesn’t matter cause battery is not power but I can use all the way down to 4ah and it still runs 😩
I have brand new 5ah batteries and it still doesn’t work, originally was using my older batteries, so it doesn’t seem to matter… I only have one year left in my mowers warranty… I hope it’s not the motor wearing out. But it’s impossible to get it to turn over and run with the dual blades due to the weight I guess
Hello I'm I'm sorry to bother you again. I was wondering if it was normal for the shipping process to take this long? I ordered it July 31st the parts they first told me it would ship by August 16th then the 21st now they're saying the 1st of September and they keep saying like we can give you a refund but I'm wanting to part. I'm just wondering if it's normal it happens to everybody? I wish I could just emailed you I promise I'll delete this after you read it because I just didn't know who else to ask I know for a fact that you did this procedure and it worked out I figured you know more than anyone.
I ordered my parts in June or I got the blades separately a month apart (End of June than end of July) and they finally just shipped the rest yesterday. You'll be waiting
Yes I agree, also they are doing the same thing with my order as well. It appears they shipped everything separately. I received the flange bolt today and that's a start.
the LM2100 came with a 5ah 56v battery and I have never run out of juice cutting the full front and back 3000 sqft going over it twice making it 6000 sqft it's always still halfway full 🤙🏾
@@atifmanzoor63 I would not waste money on the 2.5Ah as it is only good for extremely light duty EGO tools and even though able to fit in larger tools they will not be able to power the tool or provide sufficient runtime at all. 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah is the new minimum for EGO tools.
Not a good comment, this mower has been mowing everyday for 1 year and 2 months with the Dc Motor EGO-2730232001 & dual blade conversion and it’s still running strong… meanwhile my buddies dc motor on his ego lm2135 DC motor part number EGO-2730252001 that is supposed to “handle it” has been replaced by ego 3 times on warranty and he barely mows his lawn…. Nice try negative Nancy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hey man. I’ve seen many good videos on this conversion. All I can say is get some power tools 😂. Nah I really came to say I appreciate the production value to your vid. Super quality. Thank you.
Also. Get you a power tool 😂
Can confirm. You will cut your ankles off. 😂
Do you feel it reduces battery life or has trouble spinning the blades up to speed. I was the guy that tried it without the parts and I broke the motor bushing. But it seemed like it didn’t get up to speed in correct time. Plus I cut off my ankle and my middle foot toe. So I went back to single.
Nice job very helpful
Loved it.
Great instructions, though I seem to have an issue. I ordered all the parts from Parts Warehouse as you indicated. However, the replacement flange bolt is the same size as the original flange bolt. Given the narrower thickness of the fan, it would seem that the replacement flange bolt should be shorter? I wondering if Parts Warehouse sent me the wrong bolt (even though it has the correct part number on the package). Could you possibly tell me the length of the replacement flange bolt? Thanks!
I've tired this conversion and for some reason the blades push up against the fan and when I tighten it just spins the fan and blades and it doesn't tighten all the way. So weird.
Ok! Let us find out you're a lowkey hip hop dancer too!
Haha years ago! 😂 my girlfriends say I’m starting to move like an old man 😅💀 I’m like that’s not what you said last ni……… 😂😂😂 🤙🏾
@@YardBrah 🤣🤣🤣 I knew it! I was too back in the day. Can't wait to see the results the yard!
@@kc3717 aye nice!!!! yeah trained by the best here in Seattle haha never made it to Los Angeles making money moves was more important totally regret that... bitter sweet lol hahaha
I love Ego and I've invested a lot into their products.. but lately they've been disappointing me. I have their mower (purchased 3 years ago).. a wire for one of the safety checks became messed up (from the foldup design) so I had to fix that in order for it to start. Now the back right rear wheel locks up when going backwards after using the self propel. And one of the two 5.0ah batteries I have flashes yellow after using it for 2 minutes. I might just try dealing with their customer support, but at this point I'm considering Ryobi with all of the new products they are coming out with.
oh no! Yeah nothing but good things over here in yardbrah land... I have heard nothing but good things with Ryobi my neighbor Rick across the street has the whole Ryobi lineup and his yard looks fantastic! That new Ryobi 40v for $299 is tempting me lol haha
your battery goes yellow because of how it cuts your tall grass. upgrade the blades and the battery will not get bogged down
Awesome video brah..
Thank you so much! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Don't go messin with my Z3! I am getting it out of storage today and going for a drive in my Canadian Tuxedo. With the Red Plaid upgrade! Waiting for my grass to grow....lol. Might have to help it with some liquid Fert.....sprayer time. You know what I mean....lol
😂😂😂👊🏾 noice I decided to go triple jean… should have put the red flannel on top 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
Man still waiting for the parts. They just gave me update not shipping till first week of August. Order went in 5-28
Yeah I just called on mine as well now August 😑 that’s what happens when your video gets a lot of views I guess 😂😂😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥
Definitely enjoyed your video as I just bought an LM2102 7.5ah single blade system and I'm excited to change the blades, though I really need a mulching blade, because I have a lot of leaves that fall from the trees!... But really like your high lift idea also and how you took extra care with putting it on the right way!... You explained it very well and I totally agree! This is a machine, be careful how you do with it!... I was thinking you might want to put just a dab of lock-tight on the bolts???... Just a thought!
Yes for sure lock tight is essential but I’m actually wanting to go try out the mulch blades myself! I torque it down to 30 lbs every week just in case! Thanks for tuning in!!! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾🙏🏾
Ah, noice!😎
Ah thank you 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾
Threw my back out laughing at this, seriously. Hilarious.
Yes! I cant wait to install my fan and new blades and glad to hear "its on steroids". Thats one drawback with the EGO mower, not enough suction power
Yes!!! I am rocking the 7.5 ah I need a 10ah to make it last even longer!!! But at $500 I think it can wait 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah I used to use the 5.0 but after 45 minutes I got annoyed. The 7.5 is good for my 60 minute mow. I have the EGO snow blower and use the 7.5 & 5.0 in it.
very helpful and super funny -- thanks!
Thanks for tuning in 😊🤙🏾
It's louder and feels more powerful because of the added weight of the second blade. The mower detects more resistance and therefore, the 'turbo' mode kicks in, resulting in a decreased run time. Continued use of these retrofitted blades will cause overheating and quickly wear out the motor, voiding the warranty. The LM2100 is not designed to handle the additional weight/torque. I would think twice before going this route.
Can’t beat the cut and dual blade action though she’s still running strong 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
Gettin bob ross vibes and im not complaining
😂😂😂😂😂🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 love me some happy trees 😂😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
🔥🔥🔥 yeah I have the same one LM 2102sp model can you put the part list on your video 😁
They are listed in the video 😊🙌🏾🙏🏾🤙🏾
Great Video! What's your HOC now?
Gracias! HOC sidewalk and fence line side strips level 2 neighbor patch level 3 neighbor bigger latch level 2. Level 2 is 2” level 3 2.5”
Sup yardbrah! I did this conversion about 3 months ago and followed this great video. I have the self propelled though. It cuts so much better and lifts better too with this conversion. I bought the new LM2114SP and thought I could do the same conversion. Nope. Everything fits great without the dual blades being too low and not it’s proper height setting. I turn it on and it starts for about 2 seconds then stops. No sort of light comes on though to warn me that something is off. The battery was on 1 bar though and maybe it needs more juice and or a 7.5ah or bigger. I was at 1 bar with the 6ah it came with. Maybe that was it? Hopefully! Cause I don’t think I could go back to the single high lift blade 😂🤙🏼
Aye nice! Yeah I use 7.5ah they say it’s not power related but I notice when I use the 4ah it does bog down more often… also check your torque mine is around 36-40 lbs of torque 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥
Ernan, were you able to get this working on your LM2114?
@@briandoiron8438 what’s up! No it wouldn’t work! I was bummed out about it and couldn’t return it at Lowe’s. But, the newest one bogs down A LOT with even semi thick grass. I’m sticking to the older one for the dual blade reason and rarely shuts down on me when grass is thick. Hope this helps 🤙🏼
@@ernanhernandez7039 Thanks for the update. I was going to just take the fan module and blades off my broken 2135 and try it anyway to see what happens :-) I have a couple weeks to bring back the 2114. I just may.
Ordered all of my parts back in May from Parts Wear House and still haven't gotten them :/ Not sure if I'll see them anytime soon
Love the video. I cannot get the old fan out like you did on the Video. Any tips to get the old fan out.
nice Ae86!
… it’s my neighbors… I’ve had quite a few ae86 hatches… totally regret getting rid of them all so hard to find now 🤦🏾♂️ 😂😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
@@YardBrah yoo me to i even had a Levin coupe 1983 from japan sold it cause my friend crashed it... but i saw what the new owner did with it and i regret selling it it was so clean! love your videos by the way ! i work in lawn care and you have a verry nice lawn and give it alot of attention and i love it keep it up BRAH!!🤙
Thank you man for sharing the list of parts. I’m going to order the parts and upgrade my mower; I liked the wrench could you share name or link so I can order one? Thanks.
Yes thank you for watching! Torque wrench here 😊🙏🏾👊🏾🤙🏾 amzn.to/3PUTtan
nice vid! I just bought a LM2100sp lowe's return for $60, going to use it for a while stock but good to know about this mod. what do the added wheels off the back do? thanks!
Great video. I've been searching for a way to upgrade to the dual blade system. I know you bag but I mulch. Do you happen to know the part numbers for the dual blade system for mulching,? Thanks
I just put the dual mulching blades on use the same parts the blade number is AB2101D 😊 I like the mulching blades it seems the ego mower isn’t working as hard to spin!😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Nice conversion man, would this work with the first batch of egos, cant even remember what model it is, but it's one of the first ones, push only, bought it in 2016.
You know… I’m not to sure and I can’t find those first models anywhere here or I would buy one to test it 😊🤙🏾🔥🙏🏾
what's all those wheels you have behind the mower?
Big league lawns striper kit! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
Brah, I’m think you should just get that ego-allet and be in “cordless” heaven
But nice instructional video. Quality cut fo sho!
Haha tempting my friend that mower looks a little too noice 😂🤙🏾
Hope you pulled the spark plug wire before you cleaned the deck 🤣
haha yeah it's a really big 56V spark plug haha What's up Striperman! 😂😊🤙🏾
Frustratingly, it's pretty much impossible to get hold of these parts in the UK :(
Dang they won’t ship to UK 😩 That’s not cool! Maybe call them you never know 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🔥
Hey yard brah! Did the exact same thing but my results were mixed.
It started off great with my back and side yards but missed more grass in the front yard then the old single blade. Not sure why. Grass was morning dew wet but figured the upgrade would demolish it. Any ideas? Thanks!
St Augustine Grass btw
Oh man… if everything is installed properly this thing is trimming super even… maybe you have grooves in the soil? Mine is pretty level on the main lawn but I will see “Mohawks” on the sidewalk strips where the ground is a little grooved from going the same direction everytime 😊🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah the yard is pretty even. No mohawks, just single blades of grass after a passover. SP speed is at half or less. Noticed a lot of grass mulch on bottom of deck, cleaned it and nothing changed. Had to go over front yard again for mental reasons lol. Noticed battery life took a drop. Used to get about 2 cuts on a full charge but now 1 1/3. Wonder if new blades need to be sharpened?
I want to do this to my EGO. I have no clue what model mine is. Will these parts work on all the 21”?
Yes I have the 21” double check the model or send me pics yardbrah@gmail.com 😊🤙🏾
How bad is the hit on battery life? I have an older non self propelled 2100 with a 5ah battery
I mean it is working a bit harder with the high lift blade... with the mulching dual blade it doesn't seem to effect it. I have 7.5ah and havn't noticed a huge decline in battery life... then again I only mow 1100 sq ft in the front with the ego so I never run out of battery time! 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
1/ Americans freakin LOVE their lawns
2/ You will also measure in ANY fraction of an inch, but millimetres!? Nah work of the devil those.
3/ ya'll love to "go ahead"
So do I need to switch the blades out each time I want to switch from bagging to mulching?
Yessir! I thought it was a pain too but usually summertime I keep the mulching blades on and only have the high lift on spring and fall 😊👊🏾🔥🤙🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah thanks for the tip!
I came across this video and watched your recent one with the neighbors. Love the content. You got a new subscriber in me brah 🤙🏼
Have you tried the mulching blades?
Not yet waiting on more bolts to come in so I can purchase the mulching blades soon! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾

@@YardBrah many thanks! Got yourself a new sub from me!
I have an LM2100SP, and I didn't want to have to bug you email. I did take pictures of the model and the mower itself. Will it work on this model? Like the lawn mower won't stop with the flashing red light or any error codes? I'm just curious before I do it I got all the parts in my basket it looks like a very simple swap out. It's just obviously you know how much these things cost we just got it last summer and the one blade is just not cutting it literally tired of making double passes so when I saw there was a right way to do this and saw your video I thought maybe it is possible. By the way I thought it was a good video of yours and I like the way you mixed some humor in there and it's a DIY 👍. My other question is how much battery life do you lose because I really don't have that big of a yard but it's thick grass.
This is on the lm2100 and it works awesome no codes nothing but I also have a 7.5ah battery! I do have the lm2100sp but the parts I ordered for the conversion have not shown up yet but it should be the same thing! Same mower just self propelled 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for the very quick response I do appreciate it. I ordered the parts listed. Which blades would you recommend for the upgrade? High Lift, Mulch or Extended Life? I know which ever set I use will be better than this single black blade that is on there now.
@@michaelkosinski5671 after testing all three I would def go with the mulching blades! they still bag well if you need to bag and it doesn't bog down the battery like the highlift does! 😊🙌🏾🤙🏾
Thank you very much for the video and the basically helping me directly. When the parts get here and I do it and I will do it carefully and completely correct like in your video. And I will let you know how it works out. Thanks again 👍
Hey YardBrah I messaged you a couple weeks ago about the great video of the upgrade process that I decided to go for. I ordered the parts 7-31-2022. It still says processing and all messages are identical "something sorry about new product and other things". First the robot message said 8-18-22 but the last message says now it will ship on or hopefully by 8-26-22 with no guarantees. My question was if you don't mind me asking was it like that with you and also if you don't mind me asking how long did it take? I only ask you because I'm not getting anywhere with this company. I apologize to bother you man.
Why are you telling us to install the blades "improperly" and "incorrectly"? Are you just overtired?
what’s that lawns stripping tool on the back? was that hand made?
Do you need the flange bolt, or can you use the existing one?
I recommend getting all the parts mentioned to make it work properly it’s only a couple bucks more you know 😊🤙🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾
@@YardBrah I placed the order and forgot to order that one part.
Is that a Filipino Sun on your elbow ??
Yes the Philippines 🇵🇭 liberty ☀️ and the 3 ⭐️ to represent the 3 big islands 🙌🏾😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
@@YardBrah nice ! My wife is Filipino. A couple months ago we were at a Dodgers game for Filipino night. They gave us a nice jersey that was Filipino theme. It was only for fans who purchased the package.
@@8_one_8 Oh that's dope!!!!! Send me a pic would love to see that! Man I miss LA i was down there for a bit!!!! drove past fast and the furious house and dodgers stadium frequently 😂 yardbrah@gmail.com

@@8_one_8 oh man that's epic!!! Of course Jo Koy would be there lol haha
brah! i have a LM2102sp model. i planning to chage my blade. it’s that fit to my mower model too? thanks in advance!🇵🇭🙏
Yes from my understanding any ego without select cut has a thicker fan so you have to get the thinner select cut fan that’s mentioned in the vid! You’re gonna love it! 😊🤙🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾
@@YardBrah thank’s brah!🙏🏾
When I installed the new blades and was torquing the center bolt down I noticed the plastic fan was turning behind the blade as I tightened it down it’s was spinning however the blade was against the blade stop pin. That didn’t seem right it didn’t want to tighten have you experienced this before? And is thus correct?
Yes. The same thing happened to me however I was able to fix it. Hold the plastic fan with one hand so it doesn't move and start tightening with the other hand. If you start it off it will catch and lock into place.
My LM2100 mower unfortunately will not turn over with the dual blades on. I have all the right parts and fear I have wasted around $70 in parts for the dual blades and hardware. It gives me an overload error as if the motor has too much resistance
I put the single blade back on and it starts right up… very disappointed
Oh no I have zero issues with this modification. What ah battery are you using I mean I doesn’t matter cause battery is not power but I can use all the way down to 4ah and it still runs 😩
I have brand new 5ah batteries and it still doesn’t work, originally was using my older batteries, so it doesn’t seem to matter… I only have one year left in my mowers warranty… I hope it’s not the motor wearing out. But it’s impossible to get it to turn over and run with the dual blades due to the weight I guess
So you mean I can upgrade my single blade LM2142SP EGO+??? With Dual uplift Blades???!!!! Without buying a whole new EGO??? 😲😲😲
ah-yes! lol I have both the high lift dual blades and the mulching dual blades... it's fanfreakintastic 😂🙏🏾🤙🏾
@@YardBrah💪💪 ayyy 😂😂😂 wouldn't have thought this could be done without you my friend! Awesome 😎
Looks great but....... My kobalt has just as good a cut as this with the stock blades.. For real!!!
I havnt tried kobalt I’m sure they stack up next to each other blades spinning and cutting like every other mower 💀💀💀
Hello I'm I'm sorry to bother you again. I was wondering if it was normal for the shipping process to take this long? I ordered it July 31st the parts they first told me it would ship by August 16th then the 21st now they're saying the 1st of September and they keep saying like we can give you a refund but I'm wanting to part. I'm just wondering if it's normal it happens to everybody? I wish I could just emailed you I promise I'll delete this after you read it because I just didn't know who else to ask I know for a fact that you did this procedure and it worked out I figured you know more than anyone.
I ordered my parts in June or I got the blades separately a month apart (End of June than end of July) and they finally just shipped the rest yesterday. You'll be waiting
Yes I agree, also they are doing the same thing with my order as well. It appears they shipped everything separately. I received the flange bolt today and that's a start.
6:44 do u
😂😂😂🤙🏾
What size of battery are you using and how long does it last
the LM2100 came with a 5ah 56v battery and I have never run out of juice cutting the full front and back 3000 sqft going over it twice making it 6000 sqft it's always still halfway full 🤙🏾
@@YardBrah thanks man I’m looking at the 2.5 battery on a 16’’ push mower
My bad I have the 7.5ah as well!
@@atifmanzoor63 I would not waste money on the 2.5Ah as it is only good for extremely light duty EGO tools and even though able to fit in larger tools they will not be able to power the tool or provide sufficient runtime at all. 4.0Ah or 5.0Ah is the new minimum for EGO tools.
First brah..........
🏆👍👍
Yeah you are! Here ya go my dude! 🍻 Cheers 😊🙏🏾🤙🏾
😅
Egos are just overpriced
Yeah they aren’t cheap 😂😂😂😂
By the way,,, I'm not knocking you at all...I think your the best yard channel out there👍👍👍👍
Not a good video, added weight of the blades will wear the motor out........ this mower can't handle it!!!!
Not a good comment, this mower has been mowing everyday for 1 year and 2 months with the Dc Motor EGO-2730232001 & dual blade conversion and it’s still running strong… meanwhile my buddies dc motor on his ego lm2135 DC motor part number EGO-2730252001 that is supposed to “handle it” has been replaced by ego 3 times on warranty and he barely mows his lawn…. Nice try negative Nancy 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
