Howdy, y'all! My name is Mike and I absolutely love scavenging for free stuff, random treasures, lost valuables and other interesting artifacts. I mainly rock the dumpster diving scene but can be found digging through trash curbside as well as scavenging the river bottoms for lost treasures in the summer months. Join me on my epic voyages!

Hey everyone... The fam and I are all good after that crazy blast of weather. The wife and I don't have power but my folks live down the street and have power so I am able to post from their pad. I got a little video of some of the aftermath damage I'm putting together if anyone wants to see that. PEACE!

Glad to hear you & the family are safe. Praying for those who have been seriously affected by your severe weather. Thank you for another great video Mike. Stay safe out there & happy scrapping . Cheers from Ireland..🥰🇨🇮🍀☘️
kick back can be caused by either improper valve lash or they hit something big with the blade and sheared the flywheel key making engine out of time, easy fix unless the crank got bent from striking a heavy object

Hey Mike .those bank sending tubes have a motor on the bottom part that you put the travel tube in just letting you know if you didn't know .they look like the one you found in the box that was with them
I have been watching for awhile, and I still can't believe you don't have separate dumpsters for cardboard. Wishing you well with storms.

Mike rumbling the dumpster.....🤣
I agree , you put your thing in a box and send it. Lol
I always wanted my own tube system. So cool lol
Good morning Mike.
Troybilt an easy fix, unless they bent the crankshaft (at bottom of engine, that the blade connects to). What happens is, they whaxk something hard enough to immediately stop the engine (such as a curb, tree root, neighbor, rock etc) and when that happens there is a tiny aluminum shear key on the flywheel that is designed to break, and throw off the spark timing to quickly stop the engine from running. Usually on that job you will replace both the mangled grass cutting blade, and the shear key. Relatively cheap fix for a nice mower!! The only potential issue is if the object was hard enough to bend the crankshaft when hit, then even with a repair it will vibrate so badly that its dangerous. Only fix then is either replace crankshaft ($$$) or replace engine with a new or even better, used one off an old mower. But they have to have same crankshaft length, width, and engine mounting bolt patterns if you decide to go that route ✌
Ha Mike That dentist exray machine, could be hotter than a two pecker Billy goat. The reason why they replace them, is because they have a shutter that opens and closes. And the trigger that does it go , gets stuck open. And it starts over exposing the film. And thair is nothing thair, to stop the exrays coming out the barrel, sorta speek. Thair are 24 silver looking ballbarens about the size of blue berries. That products One hundred and twenty rads. IF the shutters open, inside a steel dumpster, they will reckasha off the steel. The combined construction of the exrays, can be as high as one thousand four hundred permilla second. I use to build these things. RUN
Glad you are safe Mike and family, we need to say a prayer for those that are lost. God bless you and stay safe.
I appreciate the jams thanks
Carry on! 🙏✝️🙏
Thanks for another nice one Mike.👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
A squeeze and a lift? Come on mike keep it G rated
The kickback on the pull rope is usually due to the flywheel key being sheered because the user hit something like a rock or a thick root and stopped the mower abruptly. When the shaft stops abruptly, the flywheel wants to keep going, sheering the key. Now the timing is off. It's an easy fix as long as they also didn't bend the driveshaft and the blade, then it's toast.
Awesome video Mike
Yes
you go mike
Wow, nice load Mike
You do a great job
No fair Mike, you can't make us wait a week for the next video!❤🩹

Those turbo molecular pumps can run between $20k-$50k brand new.
On the mower check the oil. Alot of them are overfilled which leaks into the carb and gums them up.
Hey Mike im glad you and yours are doing well! I watched an Utuber,The urban rescue ranch in Waco,so i keep on top of the weather down in Texas! I understand its not going to be any better for a while. I will keep you in my prayers! Stay safe. Scrappity scrap! BTW that tiny Spider-Man bike was adorable, hope you passed that on to someone. PEACE!
Danmmm I need a lawn mower too !

Hi Mike, Nice find on the table and chairs. The key might be partially sheard and. Ends to be replaced. I bought a bunch and have with spark plugs and blades. Normal repair bill is $75. Cheaper to toss then repair. Have a good weekend to you and yours.
