You aren't the only leaf victim, Tom. There is a magnolia tree across the street in front of a school at a 45 degree angle from my house. Unfortunately, the prevailing wind blowing around the Bermuda High blows the leaves in my direction from the southeast. One day I watched a leaf which had fallen off the tree, work its way across the school lawn, down the very wide school bus driveway, across the street, climb the concrete curb onto one of my 2 driveways, only to come to rest on my front lawn. It was amazing to see how a slight breeze could move it along, especially up the curb. So many fall off that I had to drill a hole in a wood dowel and stick a ring shank nail in it to use to pick them up, since they look like pieces of trash, and even a lawn tractor won't disintegrate them. They are durable leaves, so the nail holds them firmly until I force them into the trash can. They actually make a scratching noise moving on concrete. It they were flatter they couldn't climb the curb and the school busses would destroy them. But the wind gets under them and lifts them right up. So Tom, it could be worse.
Hey Tom. You have the most Knowledge on small engines and equipment in RUclips by far. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for the content. Happy Holidays
Toooom Doooobyyyy! Hey, Tom! Just Frankensteined a string trimmer! Used the power head from a Troybilt to replace the blown Crapsman. Changed out the shaft and throttle handle, carb and a few other things. Runs and works like a champ! Have to take some pics of it and all the new(er) attachments and sell it. Thanks for all the great tutorials. They helped immensely! Thanks for another great video. Have an awesome weekend! God bless. Oh! By the way, the garage door and floor look fantastic! Nice job!👍
That old Husqvarna blower came out nice after you worked your magic Tom. Very enjoyable video sir. I like the floors in your shop they came out really nice. Catch you on your next video , take care sir.
My mom has a 130BT that is 8 years old. She uses it every day, and it has well over 2000 hours on it. I replaced the carb and fuel lines this year, deleted the spark arrestor, and replaced a couple of kill switches over the years, but that's it. She has definitely gotten every penny out of it.
I bought a yellow plastic electric spark tester and it came in same day as one of my grandsons birthday, he was so happy and excited I had to let him put it in his toolbox, yeah I ordered me one 😢😢😢. We love it 😍 fast
I’ve got in a habit of tagging old equipment and what is bad and why, I AllWAYS put them completely back together and stack them as high as I can lolol 😊
I wouldn't part that 150BT out. It's in like new condition. I would just wait until I come across a rough machine with a comparable engine, do an engine swap on that one and sell it.
Hey tom you know anything about onan engines, was gave a tractor that runs after a major tare down one of the rods has damage but crank very little damage what should i do. Would like to rebuild it but parts are crazy any ideas

You are 100% correct! We get the neighbor's magnolia leaves! Infuriating! Have a great weekend!
His lucky day is when he took it to you. Not many would have saved it from the trash. Great job brother
Floors looks awesome my brother! Thank heavens for the "Shed of Shame" for the parts and your ability to Frankenstein stuff together. Keep after it!

The shop floor reminds me of the years of painting the shop at BJ Service company in Texas oil field service, dam we love being #1 shop for MrRamsey😊
Tom, the shop looks brandy new!!! That blower wanted to take off from your new tarmac. Awesome job!!!

Old school cannibalize always works. Great job on the floor and fixing the blower cable
Tom has patience and common sense....always interesting to watch.....watching from Minnesota
With the metal guards and casing, that machine has to be well over 20 years old. You can't beat Husqvarna backpack blowers.
Nice job Tom, you worked through that problem very well. 👍
The floor looks great..... for about a month. 🤣

@TomDobyMowerRepair I do, but it's wet, dark and cold. I don't wanna look that much. 🤣
Great looking floor Tom, nice job! That’s a shame they straight- gased that blower, looks new!
Your paint jobs look great. Now you have to paint your door to your shop.

So there’s straight gas’s and gay gas aka mix 2stroke lol 😂😊
Why not just rebuild the straight gassed one and give him that blower? Unless parts are to expensive
