This mower is heavy, cumbersome and doesn’t cut very well. You can buy a new “Huskie” brand push mower that weighs less than the tires and rims of this thing and cuts infinitely better at Walmart for $180. He spent more on parts. Not to mention disposable products like cleaners, lubricants, solvents and paints. And probably close to 100 hours of skilled labor. You could probably buy a consumer grade stand up zero turn mower for what was put into this.

When I was a kid back in the early 60's my neighbors had a yellow Lawnboy mower, 2 cycle with an aluminum deck. They moved, and back in the year 2000 they still had it and sold it at a consignment auction. Naturally, I bought it and after cleaning the carb a few times over the past 20 years that I have had it, and a little cleaning and bolt tightening now and then, she still runs to this day - ALL original parts! I looked up the model and serial number when I first got it (thanks internet) and it was made in 1964 - 56 years old now.

That restoration reminds me of my grandfather's machines that he used throughout the 1940s-1970s. I suppose he rebuilt them a few times. He was an orphan from age 9, ran away from the orphanage at 10 and raised himself pretty much by living off the land up in the Dakotas, sleeping in sheds and barns. Learned to cook and make do and never ever lost an opportunity to learn. He was a self taught math (and mechanical) genius and his Spencerian script hand writing was a thing of beauty. ALL of his machines were cast offs that he rescued and rebuilt. I can't remember how many summers I watched him rebuild machines that others had cast off then either sell them or use them. Thanks for this great video.

Amazing! This takes a LOT of knowledge, which isn't much without the skills, which isn't much without the tools. Great to see all of that combined for an astounding restoration.

I don't know how I ended up here; but this is so satisfying to watch.

Fixing an old 1950s lawn mower was one of my best memories w my father. He wasn't a person u got close to, but this made me feel close 2 him.

I can only imagine when the parts order arrived at Briggs & Stratton. “Jenkins! Prepare the staff. Ok everyone, this is it. This is what we’ve all been training for” “But sir I’m scared!” “We’re all scared Jenkins...we’re all scared”

Mind you they weren’t hoarders, everything was organized. But I find myself doing the same thing.

As a small business landscaper who fixes his own equipment, this kind of thing is right up my alley.

I loved every second of this. That mower is so retro and cool. You did an amazing job.

Thank you Sir. What a huge restoration and cleanup. Who's this man who thought of making this brush eater? Had to do it with all those left turns, right turns. Phew! This mower is a vintage beauty, what a creation in this time. I like everything that comes from the past because it's from there that today things have evolved and revolutionized the world.

This is the best and most accurate work i have seen in a long time. Embarrassingly accurate and full control.

I've repaired stuff for 50 years and this man did not make ONE error. He is ONE talented individual. AMAZING.

This video is fantastic. Your eye for detail when it comes to restoration is phenomenal, and it shows. That machine turned out extremely well.

Not surprised to find you here, captain!

Fantastic restoration. I love this machine and congratulate you on saving another one. This reminds me of a mower from the early sixties that I think was ahead of its time. When we got it back then it was already a used mower. It was self-propelled. Had a single column handle that came up to a T. There were thumb paddle controls on each side of the T. The column also controlled the machine depending on if you pushed down on it or not. It took a bit of getting used to, but once you knew how to run it, it worked well. It was white with gold trim. I've never seen another one like it and have no idea who made it.

The colours of this thing... - I enjoyed every minute of your video, Thank you

Well done, Mr. Mower Mechanic Man, your attention to detail is a pleasure to witness.

I love how the bowl of the carb is 1/4" from the muffler.

Ive seen much newer engines where the carb is placed above the exhaust. I always worry but on 2 cycle its slightly less of a problem.

Man! That thing is built like a tank! 60 years from now, any mower made today would just be rust dust.

Awesome job and complete restoration project. I envy you. Thanks

Wow! That was a pleasure to watch thank you for that. You have some amazing skills. I learned a few things and suspect that the old Ariens Briggs and Straton roto tiller I own are going to have a great restoration winter! Thank you so much!

That is some next level restoration!!! I remember my grandfather having one of those in the shed, I never seen it run though! You sir... are a BOSS!

That gas was vintage too ,it looked like my morning wee,great job on the mower👍🤣

I really love machines built before everything was engineered to have a limited lifespan. Back then, everything was built to last, and that's why we can have awesome videos like this one showing how machines from the old days could still be restored not only to look beautiful but also work like they used to.

From one point of view yes, but back then everything was primitive and crude; metal wasn't nearly as refined, crude manufacturing processes, crude welding, they used thick and heavy parts (due to metal & design being crude). Once you understand metallurgy and appreciate modern manufacturing, you won't see things as being all "rosy" back then. Also, I would hardly call this thing beautiful. Personally I would rather have a "lite" functional lawnmower that's easy to clean&maintain, not something that looks like a freaking spaceship.

I've never searched for this, but it's so satisfying to watch I'm hooked.

I'm impressed. I love the sounds of tools, machinery and nature. Love it. Thanks.

Very well presented and interesting. It is surprising thoughhow many special tools you need for a job like this, he had them all to hand, eg flywheel pullers, valve spring compressor, piston ring compressor, torque spanner and sand blasting kit, amongst others. Very good instructional video.

I don’t understand why anyone would dislike this video. ???

This is the longest video I have ever watched, and I enjoyed every minute. Lots of useful information. Thanks for saving this sturdy, still useful piece of equipment. It now has many more years of useful life. Best regards from the USA.

That was one of the best restorations I have watched in a long time . Thank you.
