These videos are from a rural NE Ohio DIY'er. You'll find all kinds of repairs and tricks and maybe even just a short commentary on some of my views how it pertains to me personally. I'm a fixer and a love the challenge of problem solving.. Check out my early videos on Mopeds and Take a ride with me on my 54mph moped... Then watch my ole Hot Rod Mercury run down the Quarter mile. Hopefully you'll find something you'll want to try or didn't know before.. Thanks for tuning in..

How much does one of these weigh?
This video was a lifesaver, clear and concise. It took me a looooooong time to find one with the same motor that I have in my Craftsman push mower. Thanks a million!
I know this vid is a 100 years old but you never showed how the new head will fix this problem .... What did B+S change on the new head to fix this defect?? Or will the 300$ replacement still have the same problem?? Thanks.
sure glad they don't make em like this anymore.
My truck had that from the factory….its ok. But sort of lame
Maybe the computer went into "limp mode" because you ran it without the intake filter during your test? I would just reset the ECM and test it again with all the intake components properly connected.
Thank u very awesome informative video. Just what I need and how I like them. Wish u lived near Chatsworth ga. I would just go to u
Put the O-Ring back why not lightly lube it with light grease so the tube slides in without popping out of place.
Thanks for this video is really just help me solve a quick problem right now
Thank you for the video! Unfortunately my top mount cracked and broke off...any ideas or solutions?
Mine still clicks after new starter, seems like I’m loosing power in the starter
Great video ❤good info no bs
Video made 2015, just helped me fix my mower in 2024. Bless you and yours, this was by far the easiest and best tutorial I've used (and I've used a lot!).
Thankyou for pinpointing directly without so much talks👍❤️
The magnet fell out of my start moter when opened ,,what do I stick it back with ,thanks Brian irl .
Thank you sooo much
Thank you sir!!! I think you just saved me a lot of money
I thought I was going to watch a video on how to remove and replace a starter. You didn’t help one bit. Thanks for wasting my time
Glad I am not crazy calling it Indian Head. Went to buy more and was looked at like I had a third eye. It is gasket shellac. I use it every time
Great vid . . well done !
This is a very good explanation on how the brake assembly & cable work. I forgot the gas tank spacer, thanks for the reminder. You made some really good important information, such as the size of bolts. I know this video is little old, but still a very good video. Thanks for taking the time to make it.👍👍👍
Hi, we have many machine parts and hope we can cooperate with you on video projects. We can provide free products and commission. How can we contact you for more details?
That gasket as you call it is the fuel pump diaphragm. It's shot.
That diaphragm is shot. Badly.
If you use carb cleaner in that particular carb, you will ruin the diaphragm fuel pump. It's very fragile and goes bad easily.
I own a 1997 12.5 / 38" MTD Yard Machine and it's been the best mower I've ever owned ! To say this machine has a flaw is incorrect in my opinion judging on my machine . If the machine is having trouble cutting you should mention all possible reasons . For one , people often let their grass get too high and then try cutting with the deck too low . And they never sharpen or replace the blades . You should also mention worn and or stretched belts and when they do replace belts to be sure to get the right ones ! People will often get belts 1/2 inch in width when they need 5/8 inch . And that makes a world of difference . I am amazed at how mine will climb the hill out back and march through the grass , cutting with no problem !
I don’t let my 2012 hunt gears up and down when towing in hills, wind, or on grades. I limit the top gear to 4th or 5th or run M mode to hold a gear. I preselect climbing gears and pull grades in M at part throttle. Yes I can and do drive “semi trucks”. I don’t find the cruise programming very beneficial in the way it allows the speed to drop off then downshifts 1 or 2 gears then attempts to accelerate the vehicle back to set speed at 5000 rpm. My truck was bought from a commercial user who does good maintenance and it has been a great truck. Thanks for the video.
Right on! Thank you!
Thanks big help your rock man!
Thank you for the information. I'm biting the bullet and purchasing a new head for the cylinder that had the valve guide wander out. Next step is sealing up my shed and putting the mice to "sleep"
I had the same problem and I went underneath and I disconnected the cable from the battery to the starter and cleaned all the corrosion even though there was a cap on it and it worked it lasted about a year and now I'm starting to have a trouble again so I cleaned it again and bought some grease hope this helps somebody before they go and replace their starter
Thank you
So the battery has no juice, thanks dewd.
Hi, thanks for the video. I have one question, why did you sister the bad trusses as opposed to replacing the whole thing?
I'm working on a Husqvarna riding mower, that when I engage the PTO the engine quits... I had ran out of ideas on solving the issue 😕😢😮😢
Ordered these for my 97 F350 7.5
Wondering why you wouldn’t use some type of gasket sealer instead of scribing that one area.
Just got a used one. But spool gets hot when you start welding. Has burned through feeding tube.
Worked perfectly,Thanks man from Canada.
Awesome video Sir!! This vid helped out in a big way. Thanks!
great video
THIS ENGINE IS A TORQUE ENGINE NOT A HORSE POWER ENGINE (AS AN OWNER OF 1 DO NOT LOOK FOR BETTER FUEL MILAGE)WE/US CANNOT PASS GAS STATIONS,BUT WE CAN BRING IT WITH!!!!
I have replaced everything in the front end of my 1996 2wd f150. Except the radius arms.. I want to know if I replaced them would the bump steer stop. It's insane in my f150. Will send you to another lane .if they are big pot holes .at say 65 mph.
I have the same engine on my mower. I forget how old it is but I've had it a long time. With basic maintenance they'll last a LONG time.
Why did you switch to aftermarket ignition?
Keep it clean! It’s not just the fins on the head! Pay attention to the casting around the exhaust valve, oil with dirt makes multiple layers from the valve cover leaking. This causes insulation and the area directly at the surrounding casting of the exhaust guide cannot cool, only get hotter and hotter. Pay attention to the carb also, if it’s to lean that means more combustion heat. All these mowers these days are running so lean by EPA standards that they are asking to self destruct.
I agree with you on the style blower you are talking about at 4:52. I got one when I got a lawn mower and weed eater from a buddy of mine back in 2010. It was the yellow Poulan Pro one. I loved that thing. Unfortunately it was used but it lasted me from 2010 to early 2017. After it went out, I got the Echo PB 2520 which I still have today. All in all I had a great experience with that Poulan Pro leaf blower especially since it was used.
Am I missing something? if that's a bronco tank, why not use the bronco pump that goes with it?
Another loss of power can be caused by the drive belt
Thanks this should help me fix the problem of the mower than was tipped on it's side wanted to ad one note to your video! I also read that the fuel caps can get affected with the charcoal or cork filter not sure what gets messed up if they get wet & have to dry them out or clean them with alcohol instead of having to replace them the older models have a smaller cap with a cork gasket if that how you correctly say it mine has the newer bigger plastic lid if the lawnmower still won't start after doing the steps on your video I will try message you thanks for your video appreciate the help from mechanic to another! 🤔🤗💖😎👍
