my little push mower runs year round. I use it as a snow blower during the winter. yours cold starts way better than mine does. I run a briggs and stratton no governor with direct throttle control. also adjusted the carburetor idle to stall out since I removed the kill switch. the advantage of mowing the snow is it reduces the amount of snow you have to shovel. don't use seafoam in a cold engine. it's no fun to break your shoulder to start it. the briggs on the red mower is the same engine I have. I have a couple videos from last summer or fall.
My Snapper wouldnt even start if temps were under 50 degrees even in the fall for mulching leaves. I really think thats your problem. By the way, most lawn mowers use standard 30 W oil, in cold temps it gets really, really thick and is impossible to pull over. If you use Ninja blades you could probably blow snow with it, lol. I just picked up an older 5hp Craftsman Snowblower for $35. It needs some TLC but for $35 what a deal. The owner used it last year but said it wouldnt start this year. They got a new one. Actually, this Craftsman is in really good shape too. I will probably sell it for a couple hundred. I have seen guys use leaf blowers before to clean off their cars and driveway but never use a mower. I would suggest duct taping cardboard as skiis on the wheels instead of rolling wheels. On self propelled, just run screws in the wheels as studs,
If you are running your mower in the winter make sure you put 5w-30 synthetic engine oil in it or else it will cause hard starting and wear on engine parts.
I really wanted to try this with my old cub cadet I wanted to get an old junk deck and cut a hole in it and see if it would blow some snow but that never happend but at least I can watch you
It is a pretty sweet mower. I currently have it in my fleet of 3 push mowers. Craftsman for the main lawn, this mower for fields and ditches, which is fairly important work, and a MTD bagger unit for things like the orchard and garden spots.
I'm living in a country where I've never seen snow (except on high mountains in the distance) and I am lying here sweating at 1 am becsuse it's hot. I was just thinking hey, I'd really like to watch some guy running a lawnmower over the snow and presumably throwing powdery(?) snow everywhere. I didn't for one second consider that there might be a practical reason for doing so - to me it seemed like a purely aesthetic exercise.

those lawn mowers love the snow. man you got hammered with snow, stay warm
"it's not what it does for a living though"
When he said that I was thinking what the fuck?! Pretty funny
I saw this and I just had to laugh.... Tks man I needed that..... I subbed.
I came to RUclips because I just wondered if someone tried this. Thank You
You bet. 👍
0:25 your mower has what? “Fresh sea foam gas.”
CaptCrewSock Gasoline with sea foam additive added to it.

3:50am. I'm watching you mow snow.

We've all thought it and he just does it
Yeah, I guess a tractor is next.
Thumbs up for effort, but not what we were wanting to see. Thanks for the video anyway, cheers!
Yeah, I wasn’t expecting much and wasn’t disappointed.
Lol I've always wondered what would happen if you did this XD
Now thats a cold start

Yes

*HONEY! CAN YOU MOW THE SNOW! ITS GROWN TOO TALL AGAIN!*
Totally.
I think it would work a little better if you cut a hole in the front of the cover so that snow can enter to the rotor space. Just guessing.
Yes, that would work better for sure, just a little more dangerous.
@@Turbo231 Look up Kavli blades here on youtube. Something like that could prove beneficial to snowmowing.
I bet a different angle of attack like completely vertical paddles with a scoop shape would maximize the efficiency of this design further.
Honda GXV120 on an MTD deck. I would say try to get the roto-stop running again and you have a fairly premium side discharge machine.

Can you are now the sunshine
Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Cabin Fever in a nutshell
you have snow what area are you in?
Central Alberta...we've been in the middle of an Alberta Snow Storm. That's an inch of snow per day for about a week.
Then why does the car shown have a Maine license plate?
You know you don’t have to change the oil to drive it ten feet. But whatever floats you boat I guess
No, I change the oil for next season in the fall and these machines were due.
Turbo231 I do the same I change the oil and of the mower has a filter I change that and i. Hangs the air filter every 3 or 4 years
Kansas
You lawnmower the snow huh ???
Fun on a bun.
Turbo231 you do the lawnmower huh ???
It would work better if the blade was rotated. 90°
Yes, but that would take so much more HP and not easy to do.
How Dorky

Indeed it is. We have the powdery stuff again this year, my all the mowers are tucked nice into their beds. Now the tillers...
why do you sound like demolition ranch
Not sure? Now I have to look them up
*not great* lol
