    I had one of these years ago. The discharge chute was metal and stuck out a long way. The chute made a great leveling device. Used it like a road grader to push dirt around and level out my lawn.

    My dad has bought one of these when it was new and would mow with it when I was like 8 years old. I thought I was a badass.

    I got the exact same model mower on CL for $50! It didn't have the deck but it did have working steering and it did run. I use it just to ride around on, cool little mower.

    My lawnmower had the same problem with the steering wheel

  • @robbyjones7631
    @robbyjones7631 6 лет назад

    Check the cylinder leakdown to check rings, valves, and head gasket. Change the oil and filter. Tune the engine. Replace the blade. Check the deck for rust. Check valve adjustment. If low, it could be the valve seat come loose. Replace the head.

    MRS Cooke the be that lives down the street from me in Elmira NY always gas to have her lawn mower every 3 days she is the widow of the founder of Cooke painting. She believes if she waits 7 to 9 days between mowings it will cause her riding lawn mower to break down. I don't know much about small engine repair but 7 to 9 days between mowings won't cause her riding lawn mower to break down they were designed to mow grass that is 7 to 9 days of growth. She baby's that tractor like it's Christine. In the movie Christine was a 1957 Plymouth fury not a lawn tractor Sincerely Robert Gildea Elmira NY

    You shouldn’t start things with full throttle. That’s probably why you flooded it. I always go full choke half throttle.

      @ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182  6 лет назад

      You're right about the starting thing. But the reason it flooded was because the needle and seat were crap
