Actually, lead in gasoline was used as a lubricant for valve train components in older engines. Then they started using hardened valves and seats. Also lead will clog up catalytic converters and prolonged exposure can cause cancer. Thanks for the video bud.

Good point. I wasn't sure so I checked because the lights turn on even with the engine off. Thanks!

I learned a little trick working with used batteries at a junk yard. If you have a battery that is completely dead and you can't charge it from 0, just jump it off. Hook it up to a charged battery with jumper cables and let it sit for a few minutes. It will put 1-2 volts on it, and that will be enough for the modern chargers to do their thing.

I like the metronome electronic beatbox charger better than my boring ass "tinnitus" whine charger. Seeing as you asked for it.. i think the spinning adjustment knob thing on the panel between the seat and the column is the height adjustment, not the pedal. My old husqvarna is set up similarly. Edit: 700 bucks. I felt that.. I bought a yanmar tractor+backhoe that looks like hot trash but runs great. No hood. I looked into getting a hood... saw a big number like that.. now i'm thinking about making a hood. I have an old 100lb LP cylinder that might get split in half.

@@TractorFellaThere are soo many different control variations in the last 30 years on riders. who knows... I always dread getting on something new. That pedal could do anything. Maybe a lift pedal. My pops has a craftsman that is almost IDENTICAL to my husqvarna. Same motor, trans looks the same, same pedals and levers etc. But his hydrostatic and brakes work different. From the same factory. Good luck. Make sure you aren't pointed downhill first time you press it just in case it's a vestigial clutch :-D

Judging by the missing deck, I would assume there was an issue with deck that caused it to be parked. Decks are freaking expensive. I need one for one of mine, so it is currently parked until I find a parts machine.

That was my thought as well. Rotten deck maybe? And yeah, they are expensive!!

Those John Deere hoods have a really bad habit of breaking. I don't even have a hood on mine. It got broken when the previous owner had it, and I haven't been able to find one at a reasonable price either. Everyone that does have a good hood wants your first born for it. You can get the mower cheaper than the hood. It's insane.

@@TractorFella I know this is 6 months later when I'm seeing this video so you may have moved on from this project, but if the hood isn't busted up too bad you might be able to just replace the front hood bumper. It's the front plastic part that mounts to the frame then the hood hinges off that. On ebay it's only about $30 for an aftermarket part and depending on the seller it may or may not include the mounting hardware.
