On this channel I’m mainly going to be doing some random projects. Follow along we’ll have some fun and maybe learn something along the way. The first 4 vids are just learning Utube.
Soon I will release a vid introducing myself and some upcoming projects.

Cool video and cool creation. I love it!
Thanks . I would say though, if you make one be careful. It’s some what dangerous.
Crazy dangerous. Bent crankshaft next.
Possibly, scrap mower anyway
Edit is your friend and ours
Okay
PawPaw on Doing it Cheap KZread channel made one of those years ago and called it the deadliest mower. 🤣😂🤣
I will have to check it out. They are dangerous.
home made death trap
lawn mower death trap deck a death trap ...how is this guy still alive
Not bad. But definitely dangerous. If I were you, I would weld a plate vertically to the deck in front of the engine as a shield to protect both you and the engine. That monster could easily hurl some debris straight at you. For any others I suggest a mower with a belt drive. That way if you hit something too big, instead of bending the crankshaft, it will only be the blade or the arbor. But I do like this inexpensive approach.
Yes it is dangerous. I was thinking of some kind of shield. My biggest concern was it was spitting out 1 and a 1/2 saplings out the the back. Was worried one was going to catch me in the ankle. Not to concerned about the engine though. Will use it as long as it last. I have more.
@@ranflee1 Maybe take a piece of flat iron, about 1/8" thick and weld several short sections of heavy chain hanging off it then attach to the back. Mower dreadlocks. LOL
HAHA
Good point about the belt drive
I got a New Mower from Walfart a few years ago.. It Lasted 1 Month before the frame Rotted Away All the Way around in that Dip Part where the Engine Mounts to and the Engine Fell Down... Good thing it was not running when it did. Every Mower I got from Walfart, the Engines Die and can Never be started again after just 2 full mowings of 1/4 Acre. They started using Plastic Carbs and the Carbs Melt and Rot or Gum the F' Up because of the Heat and the Alcohol in the Gas... What ever happened to those GOOD Mowers, where you could leave them sit all Winter and next Spring, Prime it a few times and Starts right up after 1-3 Pulls? And Not Rot and drop a engine? The ones that Lasted 10 Plus Years? The Kind that could Actually Handle Grass 3ft High No Problem and Not Bog down on stuff 6in High like Walfart ones? Even with a Brand New SHARP Blade.. Ones where it's actually Worth it to take in and Tuned up or worked on, on those Rare occasions where you did have to take them in? Now it Cost more to Tune/Fix it up than it does just to buy a new one... Oh that's Right... Greed!
Check out my video on Briggs and Stratton plastic carb problems.it might help you out. Don’t have any solutions for decks rotting out and even though it’s Walmart , mowers aren’t cheap any more.
Thank you for the great video! I was just about to toss my lawnmower in the trash until I did this. This was a Father's Day gift from my boys. Ran out of gas, put in clean gas, and then it died. The only thing I would be careful with is the float metal rod, it falls off easily if you remove it. Thanks again!
Glad to help
Maybe you could get further away from the camera when you adjust the carburetor and if you know that isnt the correct way to start it, why show ppl the wrong way? If you knew better youd do better.
Point taken
Thanks for the video! I just got a free 88 model.
i have the same mower, why is gas spewing out of the nozzel that is in the area of the air filter?
Possibly the float is stuck open or the needle seat is not sealing
I have the same carb, when I took it apart my float was filled with gas on one side. I got a new carb to install as it was just as cheap as a rebuild kit however now the carb itself won’t fill with fuel. I installed and it just cranks and cranks and when I took carb back off the bowl was dry
Why not put the new float in the old card and see what happens
Yep. Worth fixing. Most break early, so the cylinder is in good shape. No, I do not own one. Yes, I have fixed one. Punch out the tank filter and insert a filter in in the fuel line. You are welcome. And stop dumping gas into the carb. Use spray can of acetone (carb cleaner). Washing the cylinder out with gas has never been a good idea. -- Some dude in North Central Florida 6.7.2024
The gas I used in carb was 2 cycle. The oil help protect the cylinder
@@ranflee1 Good point. I prefer a highly volatile/flammable substance that vaporizes quickly, and will explode even with a weak spark. Take care.
Very informative repair video. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.
Interested. Please send details
Great Video. Lawnmower started right up after following your video
Can you make a video show how to remove and replace just the bumper
This video pretty much shows everything you need to know on removing the bumper. It isn’t very hard. You may want to have some replacement clips and screws on hand in case one or two get or are damaged.
Thanks for the video! What is the name of the grease and the oil spray you applied? Many thanks 🙏
The spray is brake clean and the grease usually come in little packets with the pads,however just regular grease works fine . Use very little ,you don’t want any on the rotor or pads.
redo it they are pretty neat litlle mowers
I agree they are pretty cool mowers. Check out parts 2-4 if you haven’t already.
Was curious if you guys ever ended up using the boat and if so how did the different types of repairs hold up? Ngl, I was amazed at how well you were able to get it back in shape! I've got an old one that I'm going to try and "weld" the hdpe back together. Thanks for the video.
Unfortunately we haven’t had the opportunity to get it out and really test it , however we are planning to very soon. Will be videoing it . I have checked the repairs recently after sitting in the sun . Everything appears to be holding will.
How did you identify that this transmission mount was bad?
This mount was the easier of the three to tell it was bad. It has hydraulic fluid in it. When pushing on the centers the fluid leaked out
THANK YOU!!! I put in new gas, new oil, new spark plug! finally it was this dumb plastic cartridge all gunked up with a beige goo.
You’re welcome, if possibly use ethanol free gas or make sure you drain the fuel when storing for the winter.
Thanks
You’re welcome
How did you get the breather tube attached? It cut right at that point, but that's where I'm having trouble. At 16:10
Even with my baseball mits of a hand I am able to get my fingers on it, however like I said in the video,it’s easier if you remove the shroud.
Nice job, is the output shaft of the two engines was the same ?
Yes it was , made shore before starting the job
I have a VERY OLD Snapper rider. So old I can't even identify it. I need a gas tank and I'm wondering if you, or someone you know may have one for sale? I can furnish pics.
I don’t unfortunately. Wish I did I would send it to you . Would still like to see pics. You probably could get one from partstree.com or even try Amazon . Check the engine if original. The first two numbers of code (serial #) tell the year
@@ranflee1 I lucked out & found one on ebay. Not original motor. I transplanted a Honda GV400 after rebuilding it. Thanks for responding.
👍🏻
Can you tell me the dimensions on the spring that goes from the foot peddle to the mower deck that allows the mower deck to engage and disengage? I have a similar mower and lost the spring.
I will check next time I’m in the shop . I don’t know off hand but you may be able to find the the correct one on partstree.com
A to the point video, very helpful with some sound track.
Thank you very much for the kind comment
I use carb cleaner
I am restoring a 95 craftsman riding mower,its fun working on them.
That’s cool , I have a craftsman RER I am getting ready to repair. Haven’t checked the year yet, but should be a video coming soon
I’ve got a 1985 I’m rebuilding
Awesome , you’re gonna love it
How did it turn out? I just got a 88 I'm working on.
kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZJ15pMmuh8menLA.htmlsi=x24Mb2dhRSeVAeu- The finish product
Best Video on the interwebs about this issue. Like everyone else you saved me a bunch of time and headache. This was 100% my issue, cleaned it out with a tiny paperclip and boom fired right back up and cut with no issues.
Comments like this makes my day. Glad it helped you. And happy mowing
1. empty all tanks and cans at the end of season put it in your car to get rid of it 2. Use a good sealing can, keep the air out = no moisture. 3. Use berrymans or seafoam in the gas along with regular maintenance it'll fire up every year.
Great advice.
Sorry for the delay in getting this video out. I was having trouble getting the text to scroll the way I wanted it to .
That's my bro
You just want the screwdrivers lol
Love the video! I just found an 1987 3311X6S at the local implement dealer for $50. Didn't run at first. Some TLC and everything works. I have some parts on order. New blade and carb rebuild kit. I haven't looked underneath yet. I know i need to get a new clutch cable. Now i know how to replace that. I was debating on how to repaint. I like how yours turned out. Thankyou for the info!
That’s great. Take your time and you’ll love the finished product
@@ranflee1Just did my 1986 1133, l used the rattle can paint that is guaranteed not to peel. Came out great. There's no fenders and hood, the deck's the hardest part. You won't regret it 👍
Great video! Thank you very much!
Your welcome
Saved my ass from having to buy a new mower 😂😂 best video out there
Thank you. Makes my day when I hear that it helped someone out.
This is the only video that went in depth and showed step by step how to remove and unclog that stupid cartridge and it fixed my mower. Much appreciated, like and a follow! Thank you sir
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad it helped
New Craftsman chainsaw s180 will not stay running
Need a new cap
Craftsman chainsaw will not stay running take gas cap off put it back on starts up
Replace the cap.
Crash band s180 chainsaw will not stay running shuts off but she takes the gas cap off put it back on start right back up each and every time
The vent is probably clogged. You can try to clean it but I would recommend replacing the cap. Most I tried to clean ended up leaking
Craftsman chainsaw s180 42cc
Great video, fallowed every step it works ..my mawer started just like new . Thanks
You’re welcome. Glad it help you.
Thanks, mine was blocked in the same place, works now
Your welcome
Plz what about code error 115, my forklift sc4200,thank u
I will look it up when I get back to work. Don’t know that one off the top of my head , and also don’t have any 4200s at my work. I do have access to one line manuals though. Usually 100 codes are a voltage issue. Check contact’s (welded closed) or fuses to start.
Event Code 114 (This is for a 4500. I don’t see anything for SC 4200) Left brake (BRK2) short Step 1: Disconnect CA627 and power up truck. • If: Event clears or changes to 118. Then replace BRK2 coil. . If: Event does not clear. - Then connect CA627 and proceed to Step 2. Step 2: Disconnect CA630 at ACCESS 1. Check resistance between CA630-1 & CA630-16. • If: Less than 2.4 or greater than 10 ohm. Then check wiring between CA630 and CA627. • If: 2.4 to 10 ohm. - Then replace ACCESS 1.
thanks for the video!
The jet was the problem with my Toro, got it running after the jet cleaning. Thanks!
That’s great . Glad I could help .
I'm fixing one of these, I had to fully restore the engine
That’s awesome. These are great mowers. Have fun and good luck
Its a very informative video not trying to be rude but every now and then you got away from your camera if it stationary remember you need to stay in view but I did learn something, I have the exact mower but there were 2 pinholes in my float 1 on each side and float was full of gas is that not right?
I appreciate the critique. Always trying to improve, and my video skills do need much improvement. There should not be any fuel in the float. Toss it and replace it. Thanks for the comment.
Awesome job thanks
Thank you
From the looks of the tractor, it shows that it has not been taken care of.
Actually it has . It’s owned by an older gentleman who sent it out for service every year. He was very particular of what oil he wanted as well as concerned about what I was going to do.
