Nice job. I love how you do this on the cheap. You get things done like a normal guy. No fancy shops or tools, just nice and simple. It's amazing how much difference a few cans of paint can make, looks great!

Thank you i am trying to paint my mower and this really helps thank you

Cool. I bought a 1998 Craftsman Mower for $100, that needed a lot of work. I'm almost there, just a few more things to get straightened out (still two more tires that wont hold air and the steering is a bit wonky), then it will be some beautification mods. This video is giving me some good ideas.

Those look like the old tires they used to call wooly boogers you put on the craftsman. It looked like they cleaned out really well at low speed in the mud👍

Wooly Boogers are what I call them too. The have the name "Stryker" on the side, maybe "Wooly Booger" does not belong to Carlisle. I love them so far and am thinking of doing a pulley swap to get a little more tire spin. Thanks for watching.

Nice job on the mower mate looks cool. Have a great day day Mark

Looking good and like your tie rod fix. Keep your eyes out for used 12" razor tires. A lot of razor owners go from 12" to 14" wheels. They are usually 26" tall. I scored a set of four wheels and tires for 200. Tires went on my Massey and the wheels became jackstand bases.

What a perfectionist, great job on the video! The color, the star and your logo looks awesome. Can't wait to see what you do with the front grill. Peace :-)

That's a great idea Chad for the front grill. I'm sure what ever you decide to do, it's going to look sweet. How's the garden?

The fact that the original tires are still on it in dicates there is not very many hour on it. Those old Sears mowers look good. Nice paint job on the mower.

you should try some thick mesh on the front grill

Awesome paint scheme! Maybe that same white star that's been painted on the hood on the back of the seat? Or maybe some sort of yellow letters would be cool. Like the yellow Letters on an Amo can. I think "chud327" in those flat yellow would be cool..anyway great video! Love the longer videos

Coronel Craftsman is really cool! Need to put the old chains back on though. Nice job on paint!

I’m really enjoying your videos and love that you actually explain how things come apart and go together and work but I don’t understand why running through the water is needed. I’ve been given a Deere D100 something that I want to make a farm off-road machine out of. Haven’t picked it up yet. Use it instead of buying an$$$ atv to pull equipment and trailers around. Also wander through 22 acres of woods. Have you had to upgrade drive belts given the oversized wheels and higher speeds?

I'll salute the Colonel as long as I don't have to sand and paint him. Did enough of that in my six years.

You should add a 4x4 transmission and a tow hook and a massive bull bar would look dope

What would it look like if you got square tube frame and put small chain from the top on down center of it? For grill?

Do you still have the chain tires because i think that the chained tires would do nice in the mud and would be great on another mower just my own opinion

Cool green

Nice!

On the front maybe polish out the headlight and use Mothers "Back to Black" to restore the lower black plastic. Your mower looks amazing. Bonus canine overspray at 8:20 LOL!!!
