    Thanks Jim.
    Since my husband passed away I am slowly starting to try doing the things he always took care of.
    I have watched quite a few of your videos.
    I managed to change the oil in the husqvarna riding lawnmower last week after re-watching your video on that.
    (Didn't do it nearly as clean and smooth as your video showed but I got it done!!!)
    Just bought new blades for it (It has 3 blades) thinking I might learn how to change them out and sharpen the ones that are on it. (My husband did the sharpening too)
    I like your videos because you get right to the point, show what tools you are going to use, have good lighting and camera angle, tell important details and fast forward through some things that just take time.
    Thank you.
    God Bless!

      So glad I could help you. When I get comments like this it helps me stay motivated to make more videos. I love to help. Is there any other videos you would like to see? I’m sure your husband is looking down on you and very proud. God is good.

    5 cotter pins remove the whole mowing deck. It’s easier to remove the deck and not work upside down. Thx 4 taking the time to make this video. I like your balance method 👍

    Great video. I have the same mower, just with a 42" deck and with the Craftsman name on it. I took the deck off once a few years ago, and after that I decided I'd get a jack!
    In my case, I bought a second set of blades so I could just throw the sharp ones on and get the lawn cut, and sharpen the previous set later.
    My dad had an old Poulan Pro walk behind (also Husqvarna/AYP) and right before he gave it to me, he put the blade on upside down! I couldn't figure out why it cut so poorly because it had always been a great mower! 🤣

    @panzerabwerkanone 3 роки тому +1

    Why would you disconnect the spark plugs? The blades are not connected directly to the engine shaft as on a push mower. Also your blades are not engaged by the PTO when not running as there is no power to the PTO or the ignition. Seems like a useless step.
