Welcome to my channel! I'll be working on all kinds of different things here.
Small engine stuff, motorcycle stuff, just tinkering around with anything that interests me.
Nothing is scripted, and I didn't really intend this to be a "how-to" channel. Basically I'm working on stuff that I have purchased to re-sell, or maybe working on some customer jobs, (I do have a few loyal customers) and I also have a camera running at the same time. With that being said...I do usually ramble on and explain some stuff as I work, so there is actually a chance that someone might learn something from watching along.
Come hang out with me in my garage and let's see what we can accomplish. Thanks so much for being here!

where did you find to buy, I can not find same one you used, and my bike does the same
Bought same looking !!!!! Kit lol thing wont stop leaking
I have an arens mower and I’m not sure if it’s related but my start gets power even with key removed, don’t know ow it’s getting power had to remove the battery to stop it
Very helpful, thankyou for making this video (liked and subbed). I have precisely this issue right now. Did you make a valve clearance/timing video while reinstalling?
HRM was the first model in the early 1990s that came with a Nexite composite deck.
Back in running order? 😢 don't see it running 😮
Great video, informative and to the point.
"T" is Tines.
Great video, thanks. I think I'll order one when it goes on sale.
Terrible design of a carburetor
Working on one of these that has sat unused for 20 years. Starts fine but seems to be idling way to high and stalls when moving the choke to the run position.
I mustve put something back together wrong. Flipped all 3 around and I lost forward completely but wow will it back up like a racecar
Where are you located I would be great to find somebody on Houston Texas to repair my lawn mower
Thanks, I feel I can now figure out what is wrong with mine! Appreciate the last shot showing the pump, as I was not sure. Small engines are my nemesis !!!
"Those do NOT look like the picture..." Ha !!!!
Got a free rs 5500 the neighbor decided to check the oil while it was running. It feels like there's no compression. Any thoughts on where to start?
What size belts did you have to get for the deck and the drive?
I have the Craftsman version of this pos. Gotta put a camshaft in it. Hard starting for years. Oh well. Just subscribed!
Very informative video..i learned a lot thanks
Question for you on a predator 8750 generator I believe the switch for the starter went bad so have been pull start it start right up, I think I have about 2200 hours on it when I pull on the pull start to start on the compression up on the piston stopped me from pulling through my ears to pull rope to move the piston past the compression and try to start the pool. It will run. It goes around like this compression again and then stops me. It hurts my arms so I can’t I don’t understand why it won’t pull through like it used to it just seems like a compressions. Stopping me any ideas what might be going on would be helpful. Thank you.
I would check the valve adjustment, and if that's OK, the auto decompression might be bad
I've actually got the stx38 with black deck and 12.5 hp..but didn't realize some of the decks were made without wheels...
Nice ! I see you have the slanted license plate holder on the back. I assume it works well with the detachable tour pack conversion ? I don't really want to move my license plate under my tail light either. I just finished fixing the hard wire making it detachable on my 08 Ultra classic. I have both kits I'm going to install tomorrow. Everything has been pretty easy so far. Hopefully it will go well tomorrow also . 😊
Good video!
Just curious, why did you put pipe dope on the drain side pipe but not on the filter side???
It's not required on the side
Where can I get these parts my 77 is due for clutch work
I got mine from a shop online here in Canada. Fortnine.ca
Great job on showing us how to adjust the idle/carb.
A tip for you: To keep more carbon from building up, the piece should have been cleaned before putting everything back together. As it is now, you're gonna be adding carbon on top of carbon.
Thanx much!
I have exactly the same machine. I need to order some parts for it. I don't have a model# for the machine, do you know what blades and belts it uses and who sells them?
It's hard to be exact without a model number, maybe a local shop can match your parts up
Thank you for all the spec and step by step my first it175 will be getting my top end done funny thing is i live next to the wiseco factory i didn't even know
Thank you so much for sharing. It is very detailed and l followed the instructions. Worked perfect and my rider drive charms. God bless you and wish you all the best. 🙏
A wise man checks the oil in the engine first. And avoids the possibility of paying for an engine. I like your videos; yes, the US and Canada use different measurements for everything. I also like how you explain things and talk to us folks. I'm not too fond of silent videos. Keep fixing things we will watch.
Seems like a while since I've seen you do just a basic maintenance video. It's a good reminder that with regular maintenance you might avoid a more involved repair. I liked that jack that you used and powered with a drill, pretty cool.
I have the same unit. I'm trying to remove the broken Mower ball and replace. I've found videos on changing the part on other brands but not Craftsman specifically. Can you walk me through how to take off the old and install the new?
Nice work, just inherited one …… appreciate the video 👍
I wish I could work as quickly as you do, Don! I’m getting faster with some things, but others - not so much. Hey, what do you expect for 77? 😉🔧👍
This guy does awesome work and explains things very well. I just bought a STX38 YELLOW DECK from a guy that did not at all take care of it and I am in the process of completely restoring it. The video was very helpful. Was wondering where this guy is based out of does anyone know of a direct EMAIL address where he can be reached?
Yup im a oldtimer oil bath air cleaner on my chevys 48 belair 51truck 51 gmc truck allso poured bearings with shims on mains and connecting rod journals. Happy trails
How old is this mower ??😮 Strange seeing a plastic seat cover I still pull the drain plug and flush them with half a quart of the oil I’m putting it in Seems to stop the sludge buildup 😊
Good to see you again. Grass is slow. Now should be tuned up. Going to try 10-30. Take care.
They pop out so easy he says… Who says that? I’m on my phone and I don’t see your bell to ring. lol Love your accent.. A Originally from Minnesota so yeah A Great video you have a new subscriber. RayRay down here in the south. Always sunny and summer year round
They pop out so easy he says… Who says that? Lol
That crimper at 37:47 looks like mine. T&B 2 Nice video
I hate poulan chainsaws the cover makes it so obnoxious to work on and they ALWAYYYS break
I have a Ryobe that leaks gas out of the tank through the head overnight any suggestion
Theses were great machine 😊
Well done! The skills to resurrect these old machines are very valuable ones - not just for maintaining heritage or the practical value of keeping working tools alive, but for the vital necessity to not keep wasting the planet by burning fossil fuels to dig yet more stuff out of the ground because the last one stopped working. Congratulations.
Excellent video. Thanks for the information on lifters. My 2008 Troy-Bilt Bronco with Kohler engine has gotten a bit louder recently so I may need to investigate into this further.
Thank you for the un depth look at what you should watch out for and what could possibly be wrong. This is awesome. Thank you!
Tried this on mine. Worked like a charm. Thanks for the video sir. My next step was to make a new one on my lathe with a flange on the piston side
