I inherited my dad‘s Stihl blower. Dad really loved it. I’m left-handed so it tries to suck my jeans. It sucks from the right side. When I worked at home depot, they told me to go mark down a blower to use out in the garden area. I picked the echo and started using it And the department head at first had a calf. But after he used it one time, he changed his mind. It starts every time. It just works. Everybody liked it.
Mr. Dactyl. I look so forward to all your videos.. You and the boys (young men) do such an outstanding job of educating and entertaining me. Y'alls skits are far more entertaining than anything coming out of Follywood. Thank you so much for putting a smile on my face so often.
That Kohler 16HP motor is a real work horse. My father had an Ariens GT16 that we mowed a couple of acres with. After my father passed away, my nephew took it up North and mowed his grass for years and finally traded it in on another piece of lawn equipment. The mower was GREAT but the mower deck transmission was a piece of junk. Thanks for sharing, as it brought back some memories. John
I just bought a Snow Commander. Hardware shop owner also told me that despite being awesome, they stopped making them, because they were too heavy for 1 guy to get it in and out of a pickup.
Nice equipment Tim, I just started my arsenal myself, you got me back into landscapeing again after watching your videos. I hope we can meet someday, you taught me a lot
When I was a landscaper we had 2 Toro Commanders. They worked great. After they stopped making them we eventually sold them. All of our other snow blowers were Toro's. We also used mostly Walker mowers. Always had 4 on hand.
I'm a F-525 fan, big time. I've got a Power-Flo bagger for mine and have used it for years. Two and a half quarts of oil runs the engine and the hydro and thats it.
Just a FYI on the lithium battery usage on the chainsaw. You can use RC car lipos but the voltages are gonna be odd. You can use a 2s,3s or 4s, with voltages being 7.2,11.1 and 14.4. Keep in mind, RC lipos don’t need lots of heat. And you will need a special lipo charger. The chargers can be expensive but cheaper chargers are out there. Also, make sure you run a voltage indicator on the balance plug to keep an eye on voltages, cause if you run a lipo below it’s limit of voltage, it’s junk. Hope this helps with the lipo/lithium battery if your gonna use them.
The Ryobi edger, I have basically the same unit except mine is a weed eater. The power head looks exactly like the one here. It has a split shaft where you can easily remove the lower part and attach other tools such as an edger, trimmer etc. I bought mine new back in the 90s and it still runs great to this day.
When Hurricane Ike came through Houston in 2008, we were out of power for 18 days :-O We had that exact generator and a setup like yours with a manual transfer switch. We put a window AC in the kitchen window and ran a large extension cord to it due to the draw. That generator ran non-stop for over two weeks stopping only for a couple oil changes and gassing it up. Ran the window unit and everything in the house fine except for the washer and dryer, so we had to use the laundromat. Good little unit.
Other youtubers: What's up guys today we're going to test out this Chinese leaf blower that the company sent me! Taryl: L e a f T r a c t o r What an awesome yard arsenal.
I think Teryl’s videos are the only ones on UA-cam that I can watch from beginning to end without “double tapping “ on the screen- no lie! Shoot the other day I caught myself watching the Pachinko Game video he made, and I know nothing about Pachinko! Teryl, Keep continuing to be a LEGEND
I love the vintage equipment, great stuff. I would cover the duct tape on the leaf duty Ariens with Gorilla tape. It's stronger and it would match the black chute.
Yea Taryl,some of the best deals are for equipment i too have swaped for labor,and i have a good friend that owns a recycling business.People throw away some really good outdoor equipment that needs little to restore it to like new condition.over the years i have bought ,lawn and garden tractors ,tillers ,tow behind mowers, hedge and weed trimmers, chainsaws,Generators,and outboard motors that needed little in parts to repair.Hard to believe what some people throw away!They have forgotten the old expression"Use it up -wear it out-make it last,or go without"!!! Now THERE"S YOUR DINNER!!!
Just bought a new Ariens Ikon 42xd and love it so far. I just bought a Ballard industries advanced chute blocker and cant wait to get it installed. Ariens makes great machines, I dont blame you for keeping those older Ariens tractors they're really nice tough tractors.
Between me and Sweetie we've got 7 mowers, 3 weedeaters, 2 blowers, 2 electric chain saws and 2 gas jobs and every blasted one of them runs and works. And it ain't been easy.
I bought a Dolmar saw from a customer of mine for 50 bucks. I bought a new gas and bar oil cap and a new air filter... Saw runs like a champ. Had a problem this spring with it , but after cleaning up the carbutraitor..got her running like new... I still love my Jonsered 630 Super best of all(26 years old)
I've got a trimmer with the same engine as your Ryobi edger. Once took it to a repair shop that sells Stihl. They were all snooty and told me I should just junk it and get something good. Made me so mad I fixed it myself. That was like 20 years ago and the thing still runs great. This attitude of some shops like they're too good to touch stuff that didn't cost an arm and three legs is one big reason I now do all my own repair work.
I've got a McCulloch Super 55A (no bar and missing the left side cover) and have been searching for parts to complete it. This thing is pretty heavy. It's made of magnesium and aluminum, as yours probably is. I'd love to have electric start on it, but think it's heavy enough without it lol I really like these old machines. I'm also working on a 2 stroke engine powered flame thrower ccompressor. It charges the air tank with up to 2,500 psi. Pretty cool. Was last used in the Korean conflict. The engine and compressor unit are in good working condition, but it needs parts to operate properly. Been searching, without luck, for information on it. Really enjoy the videos you create. I think we graduated high school the same year too. Thanks for the entertainment and good info that you provide. Peace.
I've got 2, F525's and I absolutely love them. I drove a 110 miles to get a bagger system for it and I pick up all my leaves and grass clippings with it. And unlike a ZTR mower that digs a basketball hole where you turn around, the F525 is smooth as glass.
Thanks for the tour. I like your hoard of power equiptment because not only did you repair the items, you store them in a nice clean area. Don't know why you don't keep oil in the generator...that is just one less thing to add to it once you need it. I have one and make sure only to run non ethanol fuel and run it dry once I am finished with a use. Interesting electric start chainsaw what an oddity. I remember the first 4 stroke chainsaw I saw...intersting but I will take a 2 stroke anyday. Now do a tour about your back shop salvage lot with all the cast off junkers.
You would kinda think that being a mower repair man that Taryl would have the biggest and baddest tractors and equipment, but I like how he just has and uses regular old stuff that he came across over the years because it was cheap and just simply flat out works and is reliable.
I bought my dad a snow commander used 10 years ago and it's a beast...the only bad things about it are it's heavy(still very easy to maneuver) and it's loud!!! I got myself the Honda single stage, originally the 520 model and now the 720 model and they are so much quieter. Also I think the paddle design throws the snow better, plus on the 720 mine has the controls on the handle...My meaning is if you can get a 720 take it!!! I've also got a similar Echo Power Pruner, it's the orange/fiberglass unit like yours and it's awesome. Makes trimming trees so much easier. I've also got my inverter generator but I've never used it for myself. I lent it to people during power outages. Pretty much all my equipment now is used....some had issues and some I found on fb at a good price.
Crazy I have a few snow commanders that I got to fix and flip. Used one...not impressed, felt bad for those guys who spent $800 for a new one. Snow Commander was replaced by the Toro Snowmaster for the same price point but comes with a 212cc Locin Engine on it. I have a collection of Ariens Snow Blowers all from the same Era mostly 11/28’s! All of them are modified but one...I slapped a Supercharged Hemi 420cc Predator on there and added let start. My wife bought the machine for $50 at a garage sale. Thank god the engine was blown.
Another great video and all of his equipment is pretty cool...I love the behind the scenes stuff....REMEMBER, Taryl doesn't mow GRASS but he sure does release the GAS !!! (that yoga video with him & Jr. still haunts my dreams ....😱😱😱
iv got a early 80's international cub cadet 682 with a kohler twin kt 17 i love that thing runs like an old chevy i got a early 90's ingersoll 3014 with under 600hr on it with a kohler m14 for free guy said it had a blown hydro line turned out the key on the flywheel to pump adapter was worn out the vibration broke the torque arm and the pump spun around put a hole in the heat exchanger so i soldiered it up got a key and fabed a new torque arm putting it all back together next week the deck is really heavy duty with that meg-mo setup
I just picked up F525 with a seized engine. I couldnt find any breaks in the block but it was seized. I tore it all apart and was underneath ready to remove engine bolts and I removed the electric clutch. I found the bearing in the clutch shattered and it was holding the engine in place locking it up. I now have to put it all back together to see if any damage to engine from this. Im not sure if you have worked on yours but it is a PITA!!!! Hardest mower I have ever seen to work on.
I like that stihl saw. I used to have an old Stihl 028AV Super Wood Boss, 22” bar, then gave it to a friend. He got it running, that thing cuts wood like there’s no tomorrow.
Taryl,I have a 1978 craftsman 2 ,gt18 with the opposed twin,horizontal, engine and electric power take off,but the wiring harness is a nightmare,which murry model did you use to replace the electric on your airiens?
Ya that electric start is cool..never heard of such a thing on a gas powered chainsaw.. but I'm thinking that added battery weight would undo the cool factor real quick after running that saw for a few hours. ":-0
I "inherited" a 44 year old push blower from a neighbor. Has a 5HP Briggs with a Pulsa-Jet carb on it. After about 30 dollars in parts and a bunch of time it runs like new at 3600 RPM. Best "freebie" I ever got!
I used to fix Ryobi line trimmers when I was repairing power tools for a Ryobi service agent for warranty repairs but we never worked on any Dolmar lawn equipment because despite being a division of Makita,Dolmar did their own repairs rather than outsourcing the work to us !
I have a $800 gas generator in my garage for 7 years that I never put gas in it, because I didn't need it YET. I hope it works when needed. I'm 74 and I went through some shoulder pain in the past, and I have a big lot that requires a bit of lawn trimming with a gas trimmer. So, I changed to using a light weight battery (20VDC) operated (Worx) trimmer. I haven't had shoulder problems since. I bought a second trimmer for $100, and gave the older trimmer away to an elderly lady that has a smaller yard. I recently purchased the third trimmer with a battery operated leaf blower (a package deal) for $99. I like the use of them for 3 to 4 years and I buy a newer one, because of the wear I put on them. This lawn trimmer is also an edger. I even used it this summer to quickly trim my front hedges (HA!), even though I have an 120VAC electric hedge trimmer I normally use, but why pull out all that electric cord. Right?
I got the same craftsman blower vac, mine is black bought it when i was 16, about 1986 or 87. still run it weekly. only have replaced fuel lines 1 time sparkplug twice. only trouble I have had is trying to find the filter element sponge.

just bought Space Shuttle t shirt...Love it !
Watched every minute, didn't even know it
Pays to have ingenuity to retro different equipment into your own , one of a kind. Keep up the good work.
These longer videos are the best. I can listen to Taryl for hours. Only thing missing is a couple Hamms.
Who in the hell would dislike this video or any videos they make. These video’s are great , I’ve learned so much
I inherited my dad‘s Stihl blower. Dad really loved it. I’m left-handed so it tries to suck my jeans. It sucks from the right side.

John
Best damn mechanic on UA-cam, PERIOD
Love Taryl's videos. I think I'm addicted.
Great video. The two mowers for cutting the grass was hilarious. And I didn't think a single stage blower would out perform a dual stage blower.
My little Toro Ccr outperforms most 2 stage blowers. Love that 2 stroke sound too, theyre awesome.
I just bought a Snow Commander. Hardware shop owner also told me that despite being awesome, they stopped making them, because they were too heavy for 1 guy to get it in and out of a pickup.
Thanks Taryl for showing the MCCullough Elec start that's pretty cool. Got some nice tractors to.
thanks.
I really appreciate the information on the snowblower thank you Taryl
Great stuff Tayrl, especially the electric start McCulloch chainsaw I think that was probably the coolest piece of equipment I've ever seen.
Taryl reminds me of my father with all of this equipment. Rigging up all sorts of odds and ends to get a job done.
Nice equipment Tim, I just started my arsenal myself, you got me back into landscapeing again after watching your videos. I hope we can meet someday, you taught me a lot
When I was a landscaper we had 2 Toro Commanders. They worked great. After they stopped making them we eventually sold them. All of our other snow blowers were Toro's. We also used mostly Walker mowers. Always had 4 on hand.
Enjoyable vid.Some of the old stuff is better than new,even though we call it old junk .
Where's this months engine start vid?
I don't know Bill, how's the AR?
G'day Bill, the video is released and can be found here: watch?v=hQBS-xwHSWQ
Jj
Thanks man for the video my mower had a bad keyway I learn it after watching your videos
JD318 is one of my favorites. Currently restoring mine!
your garage is heaven
Thank you for the show and tell Taryl.
Love your Equipment.
I could watch this all day long very informative and funny
When I go to a parts store now I always say.. “Tarly sent me down here said ya’ll might hav e ”. No one has asked me yet who is Taryl.
don’t they look at you like your crazy when you ask for a carbatrater kit and a mufkin bolt?
Funny...
Thanks for sharing! 👍
Would love to see a Detailed tour of your shop Taryl.
great collection of equipment.
I'm a F-525 fan, big time. I've got a Power-Flo bagger for mine and have used it for years. Two and a half quarts of oil runs the engine and the hydro and thats it.
I love all these videos plus they are very interesting and thank you👍👍👍👍👍👍👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Absolutely the best!

Always interesting to see Taryls videos, this time it's a bit of his life mixed in there
Yes. It was insightful.
When Hurricane Ike came through Houston in 2008, we were out of power for 18 days :-O We had that exact generator and a setup like yours with a manual transfer switch. We put a window AC in the kitchen window and ran a large extension cord to it due to the draw. That generator ran non-stop for over two weeks stopping only for a couple oil changes and gassing it up.

One man's trash is another's man's treasure. That was a great deal for the pole saw.
Man Toys! Loved the older tractor/ mowers.
That was a really fun video! I loved that he shared the stories on how he acquired them. Best of wishes to all. :)
I love the vintage equipment, great stuff. I would cover the duct tape on the leaf duty Ariens with Gorilla tape. It's stronger and it would match the black chute.

Now THERE"S YOUR DINNER!!!
Would like to see a video on your shop equipment as well.
I like the teeth on the plow, This guy would make some guy an awsum brotha!
You are my new favorite UA-cam channel! I like the way you make stuff entertaining, not just technical.
Very interesting tour..thanks!
Thank you for sharing your toys with us taryl. your like me wheelin and dealin i have atleast 1 of everything.
Just bought a new Ariens Ikon 42xd and love it so far. I just bought a Ballard industries advanced chute blocker and cant wait to get it installed. Ariens makes great machines, I dont blame you for keeping those older Ariens tractors they're really nice tough tractors.

Thankx,got me thru part of a sunday afternoon,be safe w/family,gotta put a Taryl sticker on my tractor!
WOW ON THE ELECTRIC START CHAINSAW TARYL--THAT IS COOL.
Taryl thanks for the stories!
jealous of those Honda 3 wheelers. Those trikes are reliable!
You have the best toys by far !!
I bought a Dolmar saw from a customer of mine for 50 bucks.
I bought a new gas and bar oil cap and a new air filter...
Saw runs like a champ. Had a problem this spring with it , but after cleaning up the carbutraitor..got her running like new...
I still love my Jonsered 630 Super best of all(26 years old)

They were great until something happens to that integrated power unit and you realized both Deere and Kawi stopped supporting it! Shame!
Great episode......enjoyed watching this.
awesome, what about that new 2020 50 inch toro mower?
Thanks for the tour. I like your hoard of power equiptment because not only did you repair the items, you store them in a nice clean area. Don't know why you don't keep oil in the generator...that is just one less thing to add to it once you need it.

Who else watched the whole thing?
Meh. Lol
I watched every minute ..I am older than Taryl and like old school lawn tractors I have a 68 JD 112 and a 74 Allis 716 H
I was sad when it was over.......
I’m inside a mental hospital and they are using these videos to get me to confess to a murder I may have committed 😂😂
@@christoomey9890 me too
I bought my dad a snow commander used 10 years ago and it's a beast...the only bad things about it are it's heavy(still very easy to maneuver) and it's loud!!! I got myself the Honda single stage, originally the 520 model and now the 720 model and they are so much quieter. Also I think the paddle design throws the snow better, plus on the 720 mine has the controls on the handle...My meaning is if you can get a 720 take it!!!
I've also got a similar Echo Power Pruner, it's the orange/fiberglass unit like yours and it's awesome. Makes trimming trees so much easier.
I've also got my inverter generator but I've never used it for myself. I lent it to people during power outages.
Pretty much all my equipment now is used....some had issues and some I found on fb at a good price.
Thank you
Crazy I have a few snow commanders that I got to fix and flip. Used one...not impressed, felt bad for those guys who spent $800 for a new one. Snow Commander was replaced by the Toro Snowmaster for the same price point but comes with a 212cc Locin Engine on it.

Well hell now I got to add lawn mower to the list of things u don't loan out along with the wife. Cause someone will throw a rod in them.
i'd like to see taryl do a vid on that.
Thanks for sharing Taryl 👍
Them ladders in Taryl garage are used for the lifted mowers. Lol, love your videos.
I have a John Deere F525 that has the same problem after the PTO clutch burned up,Now I know where to start looking,Thank You Sir!
Maybe a Should have , must have shop tool video would be great too.
Amazing collection. Tfs, Taryl!!
Taryl, that's a damn fine mower for the shape it's in! 😋
Thank you Taryl.
Thanks for the video Taryl. You're engine-oooity is great and simple
Great video thanks Taryl
Another great video and all of his equipment is pretty cool...I love the behind the scenes stuff....REMEMBER, Taryl doesn't mow GRASS but he sure does release the GAS !!! (that yoga video with him & Jr. still haunts my dreams ....😱😱😱
I always wanted such an electric started McCulloch chainsaw, but they are not for sale around here. Awesome machines. 👌🏻
You are an awesome guy. Love everyone one of your videos. Great crew too!
iv got a early 80's international cub cadet 682 with a kohler twin kt 17 i love that thing runs like an old chevy i got a early 90's ingersoll 3014 with under 600hr on it with a kohler m14 for free guy said it had a blown hydro line turned out the key on the flywheel to pump adapter was worn out the vibration broke the torque arm and the pump spun around put a hole in the heat exchanger so i soldiered it up got a key and fabed a new torque arm putting it all back together next week the deck is really heavy duty with that meg-mo setup
Wow you are truly an amazing guy
All the cool stories were excellent!! Really enjoyed this one 👍🏻
I just picked up F525 with a seized engine. I couldnt find any breaks in the block but it was seized. I tore it all apart and was underneath ready to remove engine bolts and I removed the electric clutch.

Taryl,I have a 1978 craftsman 2 ,gt18 with the opposed twin,horizontal, engine and electric power take off,but the wiring harness is a nightmare,which murry model did you use to replace the electric on your airiens?
Awesome Taryl
Never seen an electric start chainsaw or one with a heated handle, cool stuff.
Ya that electric start is cool..never heard of such a thing on a gas powered chainsaw.. but I'm thinking that added battery weight would undo the cool factor real quick after running that saw for a few hours. ":-0
Heated handle is standard stuff
I love Taryl 💖
Fun video. Thanks
I "inherited" a 44 year old push blower from a neighbor. Has a 5HP Briggs with a Pulsa-Jet carb on it. After about 30 dollars in parts and a bunch of time it runs like new at 3600 RPM. Best "freebie" I ever got!

Those paddle blowers are no joke!
thks great job as always
That e-start saw would be awesome in a tree, I hate being up a tree having to start a saw!
I have personally referred your channel to 20+ Customers and Friends!
Now, they have the knowledge to fix their own stuff.
