I have one of those that my grandfather gave me when he bought a new rider for no reason. Guy used it for 23 years and about 980 hours before I got it. He did regular oil changes, a set of blades, he converted it to hydrostatic transmission since he had a lot of backing up to do around his yard, and a set of belts. That's it. Things still in great shape. It's one hell of a lawnmower and I've used a lot of riding mowers and prefer this one over just about all of them. Reliable, mows super tall grass well, even plows snow well just using the front of the deck for a plow. That thing just doesn't care. My dad also bought a new lawn chief push mower in 1977 and used the thing until the wheels fell off, which was 30 years. Only ever broke down twice in that time. Deck had seen some big hits from running stuff over so I put the engine on a 80's MTD deck that was similar. I wish I hadn't done that, as I've never seen another. Those lawn chiefs were some tough mowers.

Who would have known Charlie Sheen was so good at fixing mowers.

I've become addicted watches all the variius small engine / riding mower/ mud mower videos. One thing that puzzles me. Cleaning before ever attempting to start. Seems counter productive. 😁 They still make shop vacs.

Working with a clean work area is always better.

Good job

Im working on one now. Gas tank was loose. Im not understanding how it was mounted. Any pics or instructions welcome. Tia

L would clean off the screen above the flywheel so it doesn't overheat.

Just curious what that tractor was that you pulled the replacement key switch from It appeared to have an older 70s style throttle cable handle. Would love to see a video about it

What’s wrong with that mower that you pulled the other key switch off it looks like it’s been sitting for a while

I bought it for 50 bucks and it looked rough then. It dropped a couple deck bearings and retired it.

I don't have any experience with newer Kohler's, but I have a newer Briggs power washer, and the intake oring always leaks and runs like garbage.

I’m no mechanic, but it sure seems like the very FIRST thing you should do before turning over these things - much less starting them - is to check to see if oil is in the engine.

@tysprojects2571

Great point. I did that before picking it up. If it was run without oil, it wouldn't be worth trying to fix.
