In this video i have a nearly new Craftsman M230 push mower, someone ran it without oil and i was originally going to rebuild the engine but as the teardown shows, it was not savable.
ABOUT ME - I am Mike, 29 and have spent my entire life dedicated to all things Outdoor Power Equipment (OPE for short) , i began this lifelong journey when i was only 3 years old, i found OPE fascinating, comforting and extremely fun. I legit grew up in a greasy garage working on lawn mowers :) i spent 21 years working out of a garage (with no heat or air conditioning, just a big ole' fan) next to my house (my childhood home in the city and now current home somewhat out in the sticks ) and turned my lifelong hobby into a legit business in July of 2016 - it has always been my biggest dream to own an OPE sales & service center at a commercial location - that came true in August of 2020 when i bought my 1,800 sq.ft heated & cooled dream shop situated on 1 acre of industrial/commercial multi-use land. It has been a wild ride and continues to be as i am one of the only and VERY reputable shop's in my area. I have been #1 recommended for 4 years straight. It is enjoyable at times and miserable at times running your own OPE sales & service center - but i love it regardless :) I am certified by all four major small engine manufactuers and i am an Authorized Servicing Dealer and Authorized Service Center for MANY different brands. I may not put out many videos and there will be times where i don't upload for months on end - hey i'm busy - as long as the grass is green and the sun is hot - there's a broken lawn mower headed my way. I hope you, the viewer can find great joy and entertainment from my videos and you might just learn a thing or two :)
