  • Another winning video, nifty piece of kit. When I first saw it I thought it might not be much good at actually cutting. I imagine that the previous owner was less than impressed with blade fitted upside down. An impressive restoration

  • i just want to take a moment to thank you. thanks to your videos i learned the necessairy techniques to repair our old riding-lawnmower with a honda engine, we had enjoyed riding around but had been left outside for a few years. through your videos ive been motivated to try and fix it, so i went outside and tried to start it, but it wouldnt. after a carb clean it would start but only for about a minute though sounding very rough. later i found out that he lost spark when getting warm, was given another ignition coil by a friend of my father, who like you repairs lawnmowers. now it runs very well and we can enjoy riding it again. thank you.

  • Back in 1980 my brother brought home a 5hp Briggs 24" "Ride on" Lawnscout lawnmower brand new. Store was going out of business. I'm 6'2 tall, I mowed my parent's house for at least 15yrs. Mower stop running one day, took spark plug out ground electrode was worn almost completely off. PS had just forward , neutral and reverse and 4 non-puenmatic tires, no flats. that was one tough mower! Good luck and thanks for sharing 👍

  • Nice job! The carburetors on those Briggs Intek engines are notorious for passing fuel and contaminating the crankcase oil due to the poor design (no outward pitch or fuel weep hole). It’s usually best to put a fuel shutoff valve in the supply line and close it after use. Neat little rider, I like the discharge chute deflector too!

On home in my childhood years in 1980's my uncle Bill bought one used model to use home farm for 2 flat ditches also farm house and house trailer to cut grass was 5 acres worth each week! The one had was 1970's of lime green called Aries Built by Firestone with 42 bed 2 blades with 8 hp Briggs & Stratton 8 hp no electrical start or headlights also Synchmatic transmission daul pedal plus handle with under seat Foward left , middle Netural, right was Reverse ! 1 litre of Engine Oil 10w30 type no Engine Oil filter was strange and fuel tank 2 gallon only in plastic tank! Sat over engine too ! To shut off engine was choke and throttle lever ! Start in Netural gear lever plus handle in Park section with Throttle to Choke when start put slow and but want deck put fast postion in middle only needed! Was fun to drive and used too! So cool like this one !

  • i was a lawnmower mechanic in the 70s for a major catalog store. one customers brought in his top-of-the line riding mower. when i checked the oil, a gas/oil mix poured out. i disassembled the carb and found a pinhole in the brass float. when i pulled the head, the cylinder was scored badly and the engine was ruined. i told the store manager to get him a new mower, but she didn't want to. she bought his mower and took it home only to find it was ruined just as i had said. you should leave all the plastic crap off as it is not necessary.
