Dear Hank, Just received a like new edger with a broken rope, so your tutorial is a gift to me. I am very impressed with your production; photography, excellent instructions coupled with your delightful personality all top notch. It is video;s like yours that make you tube such a great learning experience. Thank you for a job well done.
After watching went and replaced mine wow peace of cake,, NOTE I had a friend help me made it very easy. Less than 30 minutes. We did 7 turns of the rotor prior to connecting the cord. Great video thanks so much.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video... I am in the exact same boat... old McLane edger passed down from my grandpa to my dad to me. Works like a champ but always needs little fixes.
Real good content and very informative, I have power trim 2 h p 109 cc was working good , last time made squealing noise upon staring at recoil housing, it shut off and will not start again , tried cleaning carb, checked spark is good , fresh gas sounds like it wants to start but does not, has compression, I tried looking for new carb, can’t find same kind, carb has a single fuel line into fuel tank, newer carbs come with feed tube and return tube, it won’t fit on old fuel tank of power trim model 100 , any suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks a million.
i have an old McLane similar to this one except on mine the housing is prevented from being removed by the position of the motor on the trolley. The yellow bar between the side wheels is in the way of getting the housing off --- twisting, pressure ... nothing works. I had to loosen/remove the four bolts on the bottom of the motor that mounts the motor to the trolley and pry the motor up about 3/4" before the housing would clear.
Hank, thanks for the video. The spring came unwound on my old mcclane reel mower and i couldn't have gotten back together w/o this video. Do you recommend a parts source for these antiques? I wan't to keep mine going but it's from the 70's at least. Needing to rebuild carb and replace a couple springs and cables. Thanks in advance
Check the model number on the side of the recoil, you will use that to determine part numbers, youll have to good it but usually I get my parts from partstree.com or ereplacementparts.com
I got one of these motors recently with absolutely zero compression, it worth looking into? If not, what's the general parts value on it because I would sell the gas tank, carb and other assemblies
@@hanksgarage_ it's ok. I'm just try to find info about the linkage for the carb and the assembly for the arm on the blade. Thank you anyways for responding
i have a similar tiller......in my case however the pull cord recoils very very slowly as through it doesn't have enough strength ......when i remove the 3 bolts of the pull cord assembly unit off the tiller to test the pull cord I find that the cord does recoil easily and quickly as shown on your video......when I reattach the assembly unit onto the side of the tiller the cord once again will not recoil .....any thoughts as to the issue and the possible necessary repair
Yea you have to take the ratchet mechanism off that’s the part the recoil goes on to. They can be a pain but it needs to be oiled and cleaned. I know I’ve done vids on it but can’t remember which ones it’s in. Put how to service Briggs ratchet starter and it should come up with another vid on how to do it.
You changed channel name? New one is much more consistent with content. Also, still waiting on those dashcam clips :P hanksrides or something like that right?
Sean Slater yea changed the name, and haven't been riding lately injured my back a few months ago, tore a tendon in my lower back had to go to the hospital because I could barely move never made a vid about it
Which starter rope do you buy online. Walmart has a poly/nylon braided one 40' for $1.50. www.walmart.com/ip/1-8-x-40-Nylon-Diamond-Braided-Rope/54001998. Wonder if it's any good for starter ropes...
Yeah I figured. Solid nylon is the way to go. Did you see air filters are pretty cheap on Walmart.com though? You could save even more if you bought them from China and could wait a month through Ebay. Which starter cord do you buy?

*I have a Mclane Edger that's identical to yours and I'm unable to locate an air cleaner filter for it anywhere - The shape is very unusual*
I literally have that exact edger I got from my dad like 15 years ago. Love this beast
Thank you thank you thank you for this video... I am in the exact same boat... old McLane edger passed down from my grandpa to my dad to me. Works like a champ but always needs little fixes.

I think I have the same edger do you have to take off the pulley to replace the belt ?
Very good video. Thanks for posting.
That looks like the same engine I have on my Cooper Klipper reel mower.

How old is it ? Looks very much like what I have, that my brother gave me years ago.
Thanks, that's the same as mine. How long was the rope you used in the end please.
6 feet or so. You can cut it longer then cut it down to size just make sure to hold onto the rope when doing so.
I need to buy a spool of starter rope like that, I've been buying the packaged kind with the handle for 4 bucks a pop.
Alan Marshall it's worth it this one has paid for itself many times over

It could be a bad valve or the head gasket is blown, you can pull the head with ease on them, you will also be able to see inside the cylinder as well
Haha .. I wish I researched this video first. I disassemble the whole recoil spring Digamajig . Luckily I had an old motor laying around in the back .
Idk if you are still monitoring this but do you know where to get a replacement recoil spring that was broken on mine?
Thank you buddy
Would you replace the whole cover if you had one?
because of the pull cord? No.
Hank's Small Engine Repair Ok.
Is that what you were asking?
Hank's Small Engine Repair Yeah.
Hi. Is there a way I can contact you? I think I have the same edger my grandpa gave me I've been working on. I have some assembly questions. Thank you
I don’t give out personal info online sorry
@@hanksgarage_ it's ok. I'm just try to find info about the linkage for the carb and the assembly for the arm on the blade. Thank you anyways for responding
what model number is this edger?
What fuel does this lawnmower use that would be very helpful
Regular gas
@@hanksgarage_ thanks my parents wanted to know since we have one exactly like that

cool !
i have this exact engine came to me with a cracked block
You don't melt the knots?
Never had a need to that's what the extra quarter inch of rope is for.
Plus if you melt the knot you're not getting it into the recoil hole...
You changed channel name? New one is much more consistent with content. Also, still waiting on those dashcam clips :P hanksrides or something like that right?
Sean Slater yea changed the name, and haven't been riding lately injured my back a few months ago, tore a tendon in my lower back had to go to the hospital because I could barely move never made a vid about it
Hank's Small Engine Repair Damn dude i hope you end up fully recovered!

+Luke Martin that rope will come apart

I think this is the better buy. www.ebay.com/itm/140896307660?ul_noapp=true
