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.
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.
Hey man I’m sam and I’m 13 from Northern Ireland. My father and grandfather own a lawnmower business Hera and started of over 60 years ago. So right now I have a great condition huffy caprice 7hp pull start, a wolf garten cart good condition, a john deere 68 x2 one is apart in big scrapyard of ours. And finally my bolens 1050 powered by a Citroen 2cv engine
A good video, John Deere makes good machinery. ha ha I agree those rubber boots with holes in them are funny looking. But Iam not a clothes critic. ha ha You have very good lawn mower now. Good job. Time for a cold bottle of beer !
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.
How much were you able to sell it for? I have a Scotts (Jon Deer) from 1999 that i just fixed and want to sell, but now sure how much to ask for it, any advise?
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

Good I don't want to be 50 years old and a hippie. If you want mustie1 then watch him not me. I'm sick of people comparing me to him Jesus christ. Whatever happened to originality?

That's intuitive!
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.
Haven't been built in years, were really good machines
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.
Yeah it's a pretty fun little machine!
I see a Teenager starting his own mowing service business. This is the perfect start for that.
the carb needs a good clean still but other than that good video man. i went to school for small engine repair and love watching vids like these.

I just picked one today also and my steering is the same does work

Just subbed. Saw that you are in VT? Where shouts? I'm in Milton, just picked up a mid 80s MTD rear engine mower.
Thanks! I'm down in Sharon. Those older MTD's are good mowers if you know how to take care of them.
A good buy, John Deere makes good equipment.
Thanks. I like the old simple machines.
Starting fluid!
I just bought a John Deere srx 75 today for 50$ doesn’t run but almost have it done
whatever happened to the 8n tractor?
where in vermont are you?
Quite a coincidence I just bought the same type of mower as this for $50 too

Clean or replace the fuel filter

How much do you want for your lawn mower
I'm putting it for sale for $275 once the full time up is done
Needs a dual starting switches
No
When you try to turn it on
I like your shirt

I have one and it’s a pain to keep running
mine is had to start, but once it runs, it won't stop!
I like the t-shirt

Any info about deck belt
Its in the form of a v and possibly black.
How much did u end up selling it for?
I actually still have it, I ended up having to rebuild the carb and replace the starter gear. I'll sell it in June for $275
Like like 70 or 100
Aiden Boegner you are asome
You sure it didnt come factory with a 8hp kawasaki?
these came standard with an 8hp briggs on all models. If you have one with a Kawi it was put on there or it's very rare!
I was expecting a Kolher. Does it have the seat Safety?
no it doesn't have a seat safety

#crocsquad
Change the spark plug and lube the pistons plz
Will do
Mornin’ boys is it 9:00 already?
Don't use carb clean don't use starting fluid if they sit wrong everything will rot use brake clean
Seems like you did a lot of things backwards. Knowing how old it is, you probably should have done all the prep and repair work first.
Got spark?
yeah it does
How much money you want for it
already sold
It just needs the carburetor cleaned.
How much do you want it for
$275
That oil change is well worth the $215 bucks extra you have to spend to get the 50 dollar mower Kathy !🤓
needs a sparkplug.
he didn't check spark?
no need it fired so I knew it had spark
I got a cdaftsman for feee and it euns
Or a starter
If you put gas in its air filter it will start right up
I could but I decided to use starter fluid instead

never mind about the 8n, wrong channel
Not good that the steering is not working
I know someone with a John Deere 60
nice
That old John Deer is ass ugly. I’ve got the E120. She’s all nice and pretty.
Isnt a will it run if it allready runs
What do you expect it’s a John Deere
You shouldn’t start things with full throttle. That’s probably why you flooded it. I always go full choke half throttle.
You're right about the starting thing. But the reason it flooded was because the needle and seat were crap
Hahhaahah
I knew it wouldn't start
Sometimes Craigslist isn't always honest. It went after a while though
You are not Mustie1..
Good I don't want to be 50 years old and a hippie. If you want mustie1 then watch him not me. I'm sick of people comparing me to him Jesus christ. Whatever happened to originality?
ola ,, sistema de corte ,, procuro ,, obgg,,
easystart fuks up the engine
not that much when sprayed through the carb. only when through the spark plug hole
it evaporates the oil from the piston
Yeah I've heard that
@@jasperedwards3341No it doesnt. It does nothing but help it start when there is a problem.
starter fluid aint good for the seals
old wise tale.
Disapointed be-
I don't like Briggs at all
I think this one was pretty worn out. I like most briggs, but this one is kind of a lemon.
Zach Zimmerman i have the same 11 hp Engine in my jd 111 and it won't work too briggs and stratton isn't the best
How much do you want for it
It's not for sale yet but probably $200 once I get it cleaned up
I have one where u from
