FREE Snapper Snowblower Found In Ditch Will it Run?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- I found this Snapper 5HP snowblower in the ditch left for dead on the way to the shop for FREE. So, of course, I couldn't pass it up. I checked with the previous owner and the Gal said it just stopped running some time ago, and they couldn't get it running again. Think this old machine will come back to life and run again?

The fact that you brought it back fixed says a lot about your character.
The fact that you asked before taking it and made a connection with the owner, says even more.
I always ask unless there's a big free sign on it, ya never know.
That guy just made this guy happy that that guy is bringing the snowblower back to that gal after fixing it... You, my friend are truly awesome!
Ya, what he said. NIICCCCE.
Yup. That was a classy thing to do.
That was so cool returning it to the owner after you fixed it up. You have earned yourself a higher rating from all subscribers.
Great way to close a video!
you beat me to it.. He always dose the right thing
@@freethinker1492 Good to see! Appreciated!!
I Agree. Absolutely Fantastic!
It sure was! Good going Derek. Merry Christmas to you and the Family
@@DScaglione. Same here, and if you go back and look closely. There seems to be another envelope under his note. I'm betting it's a Christmas card. Just for the added bonus of his wobble pop tasting a smidge better when he gets home. Nice bloke & I like his brothers too. Like to sit down and have a cold snack, or 3, with them all one day.
So a fella gets a nice old free Snowlauncher, repairs it and returns it back to the original owner who’s a single mom.
That’s a really good man right there. God bless ya Derek!
That was the best ending of a video, I bet you feel just wonderful with that act of kindness.
So much respect!!!!
We need more people in this world to be like you,honest,and taking care of others that can use help.
That's a true American and a good neighbor. The ones who hate america expect to be taken care of rather than taking care of themselves and others. Folks could learn some of these old fashioned good American Values from a feller like Derek.
Believe it or not they’re a lot of people like him in this world ! Of course they’re out numbered by assholes 10 fold but hey.
I definitely agree with you.
Derek is my American hero.
@@reaganwright8209 Amen you said a mouth full
Great to see a guy doing a random act of kindness. Hats off to you sir. My son and I love watching your videos.
When the comments are so nice, a guy don't think he's on UA-cam anymore...
Thanks for your great content! I'm hooked on your channel!
Ya usually there not so nice.
@@neilmurphy845 How can you leave a bad comment on this channel?
@@alwaysopen7970 No I'm on about the comments usually they're not nice on other channels but this one they are I like mustis channel he's a great guy.
That’s even worse a year later but the comments still very valid, good stuff!
Yup
A feller just has to give back sometimes.
You, sir, are a fine gentleman. Returning that snow blower was a genuinely first-class thing to do and makes me realize that there are still a few genuinely nice, caring and understanding people in the good, old, US of A. Thanks for making an old man's day and a single mom's load a little lighter! All the best to you, Jessica and the boys!!
Class act, Derek!!! With all the nasty garbage that happens in this world with everything that’s going on, a guy really appreciates seeing an act of kindness.
Thank you Brian
@@ViceGripGarage you the man!!!
You just made a guy get a little tear in his eye... Awesome thing to do. 😢. Great video. God bless you brother
Ditto
Same here
yup
“What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?”. Nice one Derek. 👍
Never force a fart.
@@CosmosArchipelago and never fart a force greater than you can pucker
That was most likely one of many of the heart warming things you do , have done and will do for folks that you recognize in need . A guy just does things like that . Chivalry is not dead , not on Derek’s watch . Good catch Jessica , he’s a keeper 👍
"Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end.” -Scott Adams
Good on you dude, good on you 👍
You're a class act Derek. 👍👌😁
I bet something really nice happens to you real soon - I hope so.😁
What a great guy helping out the single mum. Top shelf stuff
Derek I agree that your heart is in the right place. Definitely need so much more of that today. What a wonderful act of kindness. Love watching VGG
So cool that you fixed it and gave it back to the person you got it from. That's a really nice gesture. God Bless you Derek.
This is why you shouldn't read comments while you watch the video 😂
@@darrenswails ikr
You’re a man with a good heart. Awesome. We need more people like you in this world. Thanks for a great video my friend.
Thanks for watching Elmer
Derek could serve martinis from all the way across the driveway now. Just add to booze to that slush...
I agree, you're a thoughtful guy.
You are the man Derek , a little gesture like that means the world to people who don’t have the time or the know how to repair a snow blower. Mad respect for you . Cheers
Your gifting the snowblower back to someone who really needs it tells me all I need to know about your character. So happy to have found you on the tube.
Thanks Bobby
@@ViceGripGarage I bet that gal subscribed to the channel
The level of excitement when a VGG vid is posted....it’s up there.
Great video and awesome gesture. My dad (84) has still has his 1962 Ariens snow blower with a 6 HP Techumseh "Snow King" Ezee Start engine. It has started on the first or second pull for 59 years and get used every winter. My dad still clears his neighbors drive ways after every snow fall.
If the F100 and Cadillac could talk. They'd be saying, " A guy must really love us, we're being stored in doors, while a Corvette sits outside!!" 😁
Keep doing what you do Derek, your comic relief is much needed during the 2020 dumpster fire.
He didn't want ants in his garage ... hoping they'll die off in the cold weather ; )
@@kimosabbe50 That's right, forgot about the ants.....dangit.😁
Well done Derrick!! The plight of the single mother needs to be recognized more often by the strong men in our communities. She definitely has her hands full raising two boys by herself. Your gift is an example to us all.
As time goes on everyone that watches your videos and realizes how great a person you really are along with your family. Have a wonderful Christmas and new year and God bless you and the family
I didn’t expect or see that ending. Great guy.
There’s just something about you yelling “help me understand” that gives a guy a good laugh
I've caught myself starting to use it now...
@@BahamaRoadStudio me too. also I'll be dipped
My favorite line. Lol
Gives this girl a good laugh too!
I've got a Craftsman snow blower just as old runs like a charm you can't kill the older ones. New carbs are only 15.00 on Amazon and come w a new primer.
I'm really impressed he picked that thing up like it was nothing those things are heavy
This has to be one of your best episodes yet.. it warmed my heart to see another guy going out of his way to help someone out. Not much of that going around these days. Good on you, brother.
Sometimes just when a guy couldn’t find a cape... he just doesn’t even need it. Heeeyah git back in that driveway whence ye came.
Killer ending to a great vid.
That was a really good video. And on top of that it was great to see that you you did something so nice for her. You don't see that unfortunately very much anymore. Keep up the awesome work.
The smooth satin sounds of snow blowing made it for me
A guy gets a little choked up when he hears it went back to the lady and her family all man-ta-nanced as it was 👍🏽
That’s awesome giving it back to her. We need more acts of kindness like that in the world these days. Keep it up man. Vice Grip Nation loves you for it!!!
You're a class act, Derek. I'm glad I found your channel.
Damn! Is that ever true! This was one, if not his best. That bb rollin’ around in that mellon can get a guy laughin’ so it hurts! Did NOT know a Snapper could be so dang funny!
The ending was the nicest thing ever, fixing and returning it to someone who could clearly use it was totally the right thing to do especially when you could have used it too but saw that they could use it more. I am so glad you got a great video out of it too. Heart warming.
Yup Vise grips got the gt 500 tractor to move the snow
I’ll tell you what Derek, a man can sit and watch you do anything fix anything and still makes me laugh my ass off. And that was awesome of you to actually fix it and give it back to the lady, you’re just a great fellow LOL
Old car revivals are cool, but even with makedo content, its still what a guy likes to watch.
Gotta imagine he has more interesting things in store for the coming Christmas Season!
just when you think you like a fella and want to binge watch all his videos he has to go and do a thing like this, brings a tear to my heart. You're well worth the subscription.
Mustie rebuilt a Cutlass, VGG is fixing snowblowers. 2020 has been a wild year.
This comment wins youtube.
Now collab!
He lost a hard drive with content to corruption thus this sorta content now. I like it.
Do a Cleetus and add NOS
🤣😂🤣😂😍
A guy loves to see you revive a dandy old thrower. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
A guy loves knowing his favorite UA-camrs, watch each other!
@@GMT400Chevy yeaaahhh, buddy!!!!
Zach watches vgc awesome both my favorites!!
Ayyyy
Oh, a Vice Grip Farmer episode is just what a guy needs.
You're always looking to help someone out. Wishing there were more people like you in the world. Everything that has gone on through 2020 . All we need is kindness. It goes a long way .
Mustie has a motorcycle lift that he uses a lot for small engine projects. Save your back. That lift you did with the snow blower hurt my back just watching. 👍👍 for returning it to the mom.
I hear that! Too many lifts like that and a fella will be singing in the soprano range!!!
Derek, ya can't do a proper Mustie1 type video without a lift! Bruce Pender always runs his camera so that it looks like he has a fast robotic leg when he lifts up his mowers and such.
Ha I watch him too amazing what you can learn on UA-cam haha
I've got a motorcycle table, it's covered with the parts of a disassembled lathe
Was waiting on the Mustie1 shout out...did not leave disappointed
"It can be 4 of 3 things." I'm going to use that line on the next tech support call I get.
That is so awesome that you gave it back to her all fixed up and in working condition! Super nice thing to do for someone who could use every hand up she can get. Thank you man!
Solid man fixing a lady's snow thrower like that.
Love it!
Giving that snowblower back to the gal who you got it from made me smile, Great example of the kind of guy you are. Hope the holidays are great for you and your family.
As always I enjoy your videos. What made this one a winner was the ending when you returned it to the single mother whom gave it away free as it didn't run. That was such a nice gesture I wish more people were like you!
You are absolutely the best brother! To give back like you do makes you such a great role model. Don't EVER change my friend!💯🤜🤛🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸🏁🇺🇸
how derek doesnt have his own tv show yet is beyond me, i never really had a dad to teach me all this stuff and its a true blessing to learn from this channel
I believe his dad mr. RED GREEN should get him a spot. If she cant find you handsome at least shell find you handy.
That was a very beautiful thing you did for her. Thoughtful and kind.
You often say “black as your soul.” What I’ve seen on this channel goes to show how inaccurate that wording regarding your soul is. I do understand it is for the fun of it. It even makes it more fun when you say it, knowing how warm-hearted and kind you really are.
Keep up the good work! That goes for all of you in the family business. 👍🏻😊
I appreciate you helpin' out a single mom.
I was raised by one and I know the struggles.
Darn near broke a guys heart with that one
I didn't think I could like a guy more, until he gave the blower back :)
He fixed her Snapper, how nice!
This shows why you’re the best program on UA-cam!! Keep it up and those boys of yours will be the type of stand up gentlemen I hope my daughter falls in love with some day! You rock Derek
That was a top of the line snow blower when new. I would say it's from the late 80's. I used to work on them years ago when I worked for Sears Service Center. Man don't hurt your back!
@Butter Ball the only problem I've seen on these is the auger/impeller bushings go bad, but those are on the mistreated ones. Last one I picked up I just kept the engine, rest was beat to hell n back, cracks and barely holding together.
Get her factory and set it back at the house you found it at . With a note . Our love to you Vice Grip Garage
"Wonder what Shania Twain's doing right now" Probably waiting for the next VGG video like the rest of us. Legend!
Seeing you give that blower back to her makes this my favorite episode your one hell of a guy👍👍👍
I just learned that Sasquatch’s have big ole hearts 😉😁.
Dude! You are without a doubt, not only entertaining but a class-act human being! Doing what you did for that lady was what all us human beans should be. Helpen-Outers. Helping folks sometimes and not looking for anything back. Actually, I think doing things for others is of its ownself payback. It just feels good to help people.
I couldn't think of a better thing to do with that old girl. You're the kind of good person we could use more of in this world!! A1class act👍.
"Crying shame" is right! Bring back shop classes! 👍
100% right on. I loved woodshop. The younguns need to learn the fulfillment of working with your hands, and that there is nothing wrong with it.
Yes! PS 61 Buffalo, NY 1956 Industrial Arts classes began at third grade. Shops are magical places.
@@jordancapps9521 Not only nothing wrong with it, but a youngster just being proud of something they built with their own 2 hands. Truly rewarding.
@@johnshrader1655 magical for sure! Nothing more exciting than getting to go to shop class mid day of school tomorrow learn how to build. Oh the good old days
It starts with us. If your local School Board asks for funding or additional bonding... say yes in the ballot booth. Nothing happens in the schools if we won't pay for it.
Mustie1 is fixing up cars and VGG is getting old snowblowers to run? Jeebus, the world is all backwards! Wait - I think my underwear is inside out...
Was thinking the same thing!...well except the whole underwear thing.
Actuallly, Mustie1 has repaired more snowblowers than I can count. He fixes everything with an engine.
Well after a week you need to replace them dingle barrys to the other side
Mustie1 has always had a thing for VWs.
Ain't much Derek is gonna when it's -47 below there. It probably cost him a weeks pay just to turn on the heat and lights to make that video. Just like it does here when I make a video..
"Help me understand" needs to be a T-Shirt
"I'll be dipped" would be good one.
@@haroldbutt9007 has that one already
Yup make it happen @vgc
I said it outloud at work the other day and my coworkers look on her face was priceless. She didn't know who I was taking to.
Absolutely 💯!
You win the most wholesome video on the internets so far. Especially that ending. You’re a great guy. The world needs more people like you in it.
Well done on making the repairs and very nice giving the machine back the family. I can't imagine what kind of people would give this video a thumbs down. They are truly lost.
Well, if that didn't pull right on a guy's heart strings!
Will a feller ever need a snow blower in South Texas? NO
Will a feller still watch this video? YEUP
Thank you!
@@ViceGripGarage The fact that you replied to me made my week! Thank you!! Love the channel!
Won't need one in NE Texas either!
Don't need one in southern Commiefornia either 91 here today!
@@yournamehere6365 you poor bastard
Wow, way to fuel that Christmas spirit, probably one of your best videos to date. Down here in Houston we would never use a contraption like that but the act you pulled off there towards the end was truly outstanding!!! A fan till you stop making 'em.
You have a gracious heart, taking the blower to that familys home, well done my friend.
"A little bit of solidarity goes a long way" - your the greatest Derek!
You are amazing and really a great guy, I myself just did the same thing for my neighbor she is an older lady but I fixed up her snow blower for her. She tried to pay me but I told her that's what neighbors are for. I do also help her out by snowblowing her driveway out when I do mine
So a guy got super inspired by your videos. Took a risk and bought a jeep that hadn't run in about 20 years sigh unseen. Brung her home and I'd be dipped if I didn't get her running and driving lol
I appreciate all the hard work you guys do, the content and the commentary is awesome! God bless and can't wait for the next one!!
Time for a cold snack from San Antonio TX.
Mustie 1 would be proud
Early Christmas present actually brought a tear to my eye!
What a great thing to do.
Loving your work!
P.s. I really hope the hard drive recovery mission is successful.
Me too brother!
What is the hard drive recovery mission?
Hi Gu Derek had a hard drive malfunction that had a ton of unreleased videos on it, he sent it to a data recovery company in Ohio for them to hopefully retrieve all the videos off of it
@@njovwevnjweV oh man, must've missed him talking about it
Hi Gu he talked about it on his livestream last week, I think that’s the only place that he’s mentioned it at
That is awesome you gave it back! Good people are hard to come by in this crazy world. You’re a class act, Derek.
Spoiled it for me
Class move, Derek. A guy just sold some merch demonstrating character like that.
Derek kinda grows on ya just like athletes feet he does. Once ya get with him just once he kinda stays forever...
Legit bought a going to town hat!! Now I need a snazzy shirt :) pick one up on Friday ya probley should :)
Derek , even though a guy only knows you from the old innertube I am proud to say I know you . You have a big heart and are a great role model . I can't put into words what it meant to me when you waved the greatest flag and symbol of freedom in the world at the burnout . God bless you and Jessica and boys .
I've been watching VGG for a little while now and enjoy all of it especially the dry humor.
How can anybody put a thumbs down on this one, can someone clue me in on that ?
What a nice thing you did for her your a good man🙏🏻🇺🇸⚓️
That really was the only decision on what to do with it once it was all in order Derek. Way to go and I truly enjoyed watching this!
It's lovely to see something like this brought back to life and given back to the community.
Derek, I gotta say man, I damn near was in tears there at the end... You're a decent old soul you are, wished there were more of you around!
You're a stand up guy Derek! The world needs more of you. VGG 🤘🤜🤛
That is wonderful man! Discovered this channel about a month ago and really enjoy it. Honestly way better than anything on TV. Your personality really makes it fun to watch. Thanks for doing what you do!
Really enjoyed this episode! Really got me in the feels when you returned it to the original owner! Good on you sir!
During a time when good deeds are limited a fellar happy to see a guy help someone out. Who's cutting onions?
One loves a guys' stream of consciousness rambling commentary... it pick one up and carries one along to places unforseen.
Lovely to see the milk of human kindness still flows.
"This is a full restoration at this point..." 😅😅 of a used snowblower! I love this channel!!
Edit: I love what you did at the end...you have a big heart.
Well that ending hit me right in the tear make it happener. God bless you Derek
lol.. for sure
Derek you’re a good man with a big heart. Glad there are still people like you in this world. MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and your family.
This is a real man! This is the type of person we need more of in this world! God bless you sir!
You're decent bloke Derek, some that of that good old boy state of mind.
Paying it forward. ✌😎
What a great video! I've watched almost all your videos in the last week :) What I like most is your attitude, your parenting and your humor. Excellent content! Probably some of the best content on UA-cam and great to have this channel during these trying times. Please keep it up!
A guy does the right thing and fixes er back to factree and returns her back to the owner! Kind gestures are still out there, kudos Derek!
My husband and I love watching your channel. God bless from Georgia.
Thanks so much
For your kindness you have earned a Golden Vice Grip Award, whatever that is. May God Bless you and your family.
You big hearted old softy, God bless you man.
You're a good man Derek!!! My hat goes off to ya.
All the great comments Derek are truly a testament of what makes your channel the best on UA-cam, there’s no doubt your father would be proud of you and your family. I never had children, if you were my son I know I’d be extraordinarily proud to be your father…. ❤
You're a good guy. I knew it, the first time I sampled some of your humor. Great channel and you've got a lot going on between your ears as well. Very talented mechanical type of feller, and your humoristics are to beat the band. Keep up the good work!
