    I think you did a great job on this Toro Kyle. I didn't know if that belt would loosen up or not. But new belt, new blades. Good work. Looks excellent.

    Very nice tractor. I have a 2006 toro LX460 same engine. Had valve cover leak. Fixed it n a new carb n complete service n at tires on rear. Got lucky, it was a free by. Mowed 10 acres every week all season with it. Now it needs a good bit of love. Tranny needs rebuilt n engine rebuild n rebuild the deck. But I like it n it has mowed a lot of tuff stuff. So gonna have it fixed. By this spring . Good lil tractor. Great videos. Keep up the cool stuff.

    • @Kylebythecreek
      @Kylebythecreek  Рік тому +1

      ATF expands rubber. It works great to expand the rubber tie and close the crack or leak in the tire- just as long as it’s a rather small leak

    I was very disappointed and watching you remove a carburetor claim to have cleaned it, but not show it hmmm and every time you go to start it time your spraying brake cleaner in it and instead of pulling the choke and it shows as you put a rebuilt carb on and used spray with the choke wide open?!?!! That was very disappointing not as experienced as I thought you were ! you should check your videos before you publish them just saying!
