@@dirtyberniesgarage1194 Yeah probably ... LOL I know Honda wanted to sell John Deere engines for their riding mowers back in the late 90's. I have an old Honda 4118 that was made by John Deere that I need to drag out one day. I think there were 2 models only produced 2 years. Very much a John Deere except for the color and the GXV610 Honda Engine. If I ever see one of these in any kind of repair state, I'm gonna try to get it. 🍻
That's a great engine. Snagged one off a tree lawn last winter. A Craftsman FWD. Took it home and had it running in 15 minutes. Use the fuel shutoff and run it dry each time. Always starts on the first pull. Only problem is the self propel is weak. Wheels turn fine, but not too much power. Streched belt??? Any suggestions???
Some of them have an adjustment where the cable goes into the handle. If that doesn’t work I would check the belt. Some of them have bearings where the axle goes through the deck. I saw one where both bearings were binding. That caused the same issue.
It’s strange. As Al commented. They aren’t everywhere. But Kentucky is loaded with them. I own the same mower in black. I’ll do a revival vid on it at one point
@@dirtyberniesgarage1194yeah - now that you mention it mine was black too, and the wheels were off white instead of yellow. All of the writing on it was in French and English and it had the Canadian maple leaf seal of approval on it. Same oddball deck with the Honda engine though, and same brand / logo. It had the bag with it too, it was one of those old style MTD bags with the two hooks sticking out towards the front. I like those earlier style MTD mowers without all the plastic stuff, they’re less flexi/bendy and seem more sturdy.

Great video Bernie! I have yet to see one of the Yard Machines with a Honda engine around
my part of the junk yard. Cheers buddy! 🍻 -Al
Hey Al. Up in RI I never saw any either. But here in KY there’s tons of them. Maybe it was a marketing deal?

I like the new hairdo. Very aerodynamic!
Thanks Joe. Good to go for at least 2 years lol 😂
I picked up that same mower last summer, mine was from Canada. Never saw one before or since.
