The robot scene with your kid was hilarious, had me laughing for a while. And the insights you give us into fixing things we never would have otherwise had the opportunity to learn about. You're like a dad to all of us haha. Enjoyed the video mate, thanks for sharing. :)

I'd never heard of a flapper disc. You learn something new every day. Love the birdsong.

Marty I am addicted to your vlogs. I am now almost 70 years old and this reminds me of when I was a boy trying to fix old abandoned English motorbikes without spending any money 😊

Recycling,better than throwing away.You’re the best!

I'm always tickled to watch you resurrect these old beater machines and make them new again!

This has inspired me to fix the old petrol mower under my house 🙂. I bought a house from a retired engineer who'd passed away and left his workshop full of tools. I need to prove I'm the new worthy owner of his house

I could watch just a 20 minute episode of you just mowing around your property. Something so satisfying about it!!

Enjoyed this one especially the drone footage at the end.I had a wasp nest in the eave of my cape cod style dormer. Had the brilliant idea to open the upstairs window and use a broom to knock down the nest. Picture an old fat man running out of the bedroom down over the stairs with a swarm of wasps in hot pursuit only to run out the front door into the rest of the hive executing a military precision flanking movement.

That closing drone shot was just a beauty, what a spot.

Lol at Mr. Roboto chasing the children. Oh and very competent repair on all of the issues on the $50 mower. Enjoyed that, greatly.

It is nice to see a video where the machine is cleaned before working on restoring it. I have watched so many where they work on them with grease , dirt, leaves, twigs, wasps nests, mouse poop, bird droppings etc. and then complain about the smell. it drives me crazy.

Jesus that last drone shot! You live in paradise mate!

When I was in my early teens, a friends dad had a slasher just like that. He got a molded plastic school chair, cut the front two legs off, welded an axle and wheels to the back two with a draw bar to the slasher. That was his ride on to cut the long grass at the back of their small acreage. Control the slasher with one hand and a beer in the other.

It's gorgeous where you live! Being below zero Fahrenheit where I live right now makes it even more attractive!

All around the world there are people who prefer to fix things rather than throw them out. We get great pleasure out of the achievement and many useful tools and equipment into the bargain. The more you do the more you learn. Cheers.

They are an amazing bit of kit for Tight areas and large grasses, but like you show they are lethally dangerous when they throw stuff as they are just built like a tank but you have to be careful. What an amazing job you did with it once again with loads of Inspiration, I find that being a Scrounge is such an amazing hobby for me and others where you can take things that are never going to go again or repurpose things to meet your needs at cheap costs, Free, just our labor and sweat but now you have a motorized tool that is no toy doing a Job that is hard for us to get done? How can anyone not be enthused or uplifted by that content? or the morals of why waste everything? look at that unit, it's stronger than what is made today it's rebuildable as you have shown, it actually makes you a better man? being able to fix it once means when you need to do something again you know how it works, where the weakness may have been and what needed beefing up, plus I find even watching you work and my sweating watching LOL, gives me great ideas or just makes me feel good to watch a Dad deliver for his Family even when not a lot of money is involved, so the cop-out that I cannot afford to get started really falls short. I know many real MEN out here in the world has tools laying extra and if a Young Brother needs to get started then they may donate some tools so all you need to do is find an old toy to start with or something that may make you or your families life easier, then start with that because common interests help you to learn and grow, it gives you confidence in all aspects of life including social skills, it helps with your self-esteem because great people like Marty T made a call to better his or his families life one project at a time and now for years we have become one, The Inspirer and the Inspired. Cheers Marty and thanks heaps for the useful Content.

OMG, that robot drill trick was awesome. I wish my kids were still young enough to enjoy it. Hah!

I found a wasp nest that way didn't go back till after dark... the mower ran out of fuel first... wasps died soon after... good work.. nice job

Gets notification... Clicks on Marty T, if only for a brief moment, my world suddenly turns lush and green, the birds are chirping and singing. Crocs and shorts are the choice attire for the day. Marty there are people here in Northern Canada who would pay good money to be stung by a Bee right now. My lawn mower is parked, I won't be needing it for another 4-5 months, it's minus 10 C and snow is up to the door handles on the car. Oh how I envy you right now. The Bush Hog looks and works great, good sensible approach to the repair. Got to admire any man who can stop what he is doing for 2 minutes just to make his little boy laugh and smile. I've come to the realization, good people attract good people, love the channel and videos, must be why I subscribed cheers brother, keep them coming👍👍

What a good use for old brush mower. Most of the mowers here in the U. S. are going to string, what a waste of plastic. Glad to see you have a blade mower for use now. I also enjoy your birds calling in the background. thank's from Oklahoma, I will keep watching your vids.

Marty single-handedly saving the planet from being buried in old neglected machines. Much respect. Just wondered if you thought about doing a quick DIY balancing of that blade. I know it was new but the rest of the base could have been out of balance. Once it was up to speed you would have found out pretty quick. Nice work!

I just discovered this channel a week ago. I already can't get enough. But the Terminator with the drill is so good!

Hi Marty,I rescued 2 of these mowers, used 1 for parts.I cut up a truck mud flap to cover the side throw, now it leaves a nice row of grass next to the mower as I go clockwise around my lawn tennis court I end up with only 1 row of clippings to rack up! Yours is missing the belt tensioner and cover plate on the top. The manufacturer was IBL in Petone.

Watched a couple of times, still trying to get my head around the cutting edge being higher than the trailing edge... Got a similar project in hand here in oz, a bit smaller but similar in all respects. Love the old walk behind slashers - way capable but probably rougher and noisier than any modern versions. I doubt anyone will restore a modern mower in 50 years time, nothing like the quality of materials nor the build philosophy of making things repairable...

separate the chains(make them individual/individual rows not linking) so they are not linked and they will not hold grass(will not back up with grass on the side shoot)

Looks great. That robot impression was spot on!

Another perfect job. You have a beautiful life down there. It’s so much fun to follow your rescues and rehabs. Thanks for sharing!

Howdy Marty!! Recently discovered your channels & after binge watching most of your videos, I am truly amazed at what you are able to do in repairing & refurbishing old machinery to make it useful again! Love watching your skills & insight into preserving the past & proving that old machines can be brought back & that they were built to last!!!!

You are a legend Marty! Been with ya from the start, keep it up, can't wait for the next project.

Hi from Ireland 🇮🇪 watching your summer garden work made me look forward to strimming!

What an amazingly beautiful country you live in, thank you for sharing it with us!

by far the best restoration on this channel ... when I saw the chains, I thought you might bash the mower a bit to get that "Mr. T" patina

Nice to see old school painting being done on this mower. You seem to have quite the knack for bringing these various pieces of equipment back to life. Definitely amusing to see dad having a spot of fun with the children 🤣

Me running this and finding every rock out there, then back to repairing after 5 min of use. lol

The way I've always seen is the top bearing on the blade shaft is always sealed since the grease you pump into the cavity will always migrate down and the top bearing will starve for grease if it's not sealed up. The bottom bearing should have it's top seal removed, leaving the bottom seal intact. Should use steel-sealed bearings instead of rubber/plastic so the pressure of the grease is less likely to push the steel sleeves out of place than the rubber/plastic. That's the way it is on my John Deere riding mower spindle assemblies.
