Save the seat springs, they often break, thank you my friend for not giving up and finding a way to make it live and mow again. We live in such a wasteful and tender society :)
Kyle you need to keep a eye out for a cheap air hammer. When those rear tires are stuck on the axle like those were, you can put one of the blunt bits on the air hammer and put it in the center on the axle and use it and the wheels and tires will come right off. It would also bring the drive pulley right off as well.
Hi Kyle Love your videos. I do ride ons in Australia for a hobby also. My bench is messy when I am working (and after also) and I am retired. Those keyboard experts love to give you their wisdom and half probably are just to bone lazy to do anything other than criticise. I say ignore them or they will get you down and instead just keep doing what you are doing. Don't even give the acknowledgement to them and just do what you do.... Mal
I did a transmission swap last year on a cub cadet ltx1040, and I used a transmission out of the MTD yard machine counterpart to this one you had. I ended up having to modified just like you did, so I was watching this entertained because, I've been there and watching you do the same things I had to do to make my replacement transmission work. keep up the good work thing looks close to brand new I don't typically make my flip tractors look that good people in my area just want something that will do the job.
How many kids toys has you lawn tractors found over the years? My son's all grown up now but I still remember the tell tale sounds of something getting it once in a while. You have a lot of patience, I do what you do but with chainsaws mostly.
Hi Kyle thanks for your videos, you are very inspiring with how you dont give up just want to give you a pointer about the oil filter wrench, you were using it backwards and if you turn it over it will grip harder when you pull on it ,they are designed to grip tighter the harder you pull and this applies to channel locks and pipe wrenches also happy wrenching and God bless
Nice job, Kyle...way to stay with it when it would have been easier to quit when things weren't looking great. You remind me a lot of a family friend that lives in southern CT, and just like him, your work ethic is SOLID! Don't listen to anyone that tells you differently. Your channel numbers are growing, so you are obviously on the right path...keep it up!
Nice job figuring out that pulley you added, to make the belt work correct. I don't think I would have thought of that Because I don't have pulleys like that sitting around so good job. And I have taken apart my 2001 MTD Yard Machine transaxle and they're very simple inside. There are quite a few UA-cam videos on how to service your transaxle. Mine needed shift fork, detect ball and Spring, and also 4 bearing sleeves for the axle shaft and grease, and that was it.
I didn’t film it well, although I mentioned it- there was a large crack in the trans by the left axle. It was trashed, and not worth saving. I’m glad I went with a swap
This is one of the reasons (I’ve learned the hard way) it’s a good idea to give repaired equipment a really thorough shakedown. Way better, in this case, than having a pissed off customer comeback due to excessive smoking during their very first use back home!
I always want to know why things fail so I can add to my body of knowledge, so for me failure analysis is a huge plus. For your next video, maybe pull the original trans apart to see exactly what’s happened.
@@Kylebythecreek definitely is the fun part your videos is what got me interested in doing this type of work my self you have an awesome rest of your evening Kyle and can't wait to see you're next video drop I'll be watching always
I quit sales last month and keeping everything until next year, it’s going to bring more or at least a fair price 😊, just be fixing them all winter and repairing chainsaws 😊
That Touch N Mow has a strange starter system that winds up the starter when you shut the mower off. You hit the lever it cranks the starter over the next time you start it. The problem is that you get one crank and if it doesn’t start your pulling the recoil anyway. They are pretty rare and they didn’t make them very long. Usually they don’t work by now. That’s a good engine on that Cubby. I was hoping that it wasn’t a Kohler Courage,lol!
I think you did a great job you won’t make to much money. But think about the things you learned that is worth count. Do what you are comfortable with not what others people like 👍🙏
AS A PROFESSIONAL PAINTER IM ASHAMED AT YOUR LACK OF PPE AND YOURE GOING TO HAVE PROBLEMS AND YOU NEED TO WIRE BRUSH IT AND YOU NEED TO HAVE BETTER VENTILATION I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS

I think sometimes you get way ahead of yourself, skipping over the first steps, which in this case was the transmission. I wouldn’t assume it’s a lost cause, even with holes in the case, until I’d investigated further. Who knows - it might have been able to be salvaged and saved you some money! See my next comment.
I wish I never got rid of my 30+ year old LT1000 only put a new battery in it once over 10 years. Now my 3 year old cub cadet already wants a new battery. Old tractors are 10 times better than the NEW GARBAGE made now.
This takes "not working on the space shuttle" to a whole new level. Great work!
Thank you!
Messy bench reflects a working shop. Shops that are spotless and everything in place are not busy and being used. Dont even listen to those critics :)
Save the seat springs, they often break, thank you my friend for not giving up and finding a way to make it live and mow again. We live in such a wasteful and tender society :)
Great work on that Cub Cadet! Sad that the transmission was so expensive. But in the end, a fully working lawnmower, I like that :) Keep it up man!
Thanks so much!
That’s one heck of a job right there my friend your attitude of never quit really paid off on this one
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
Nice work! I see you still have that Winco!
Yep….still have it. Takes up so much room too
You should get rid of it
@@TimGren-jg4wt burn it

It would also bring the drive pulley right off as well.
I need a bigger air compressor too. My air compressor is tiny!
I wish I had 10% of your work ethic, Kyle.
That’s very kind of you!
Nice job i keep forgetting to make a video of that statesman I bought
You should do something about the compression
Always do more about compression, got it!

I’d say this information is so helpful especially since I work on lawn mowers in my free time and I started when I was 9
So glad to hear that. Thanks for watching and commenting something positive!
Enjoyed your sons' commentary great video Kyle
I was waiting for someone to comment about that! He’s great!
loved the video. Felt your frustration. Never to long to watch good video
Glad to hear that!
Looks and sounds great Kyle great job
Thanks!
Should bring 600 at least in our area in Texas 😊
