As soon as you said it runs fine on choke plus the fact it took forever to start, I figured the choke wasn't actually engaging all the way. Good find on these mowers!
When you are driving in your truck the scenery looks like Nebraska. I worked as a Roughneck in Texas at H&W Tool and Die in my senior year. I love your up cycling and taking things that would otherwise be scrapped and put them into service again. These old mowers will outlast us all. We just have to raise awareness of how wonderful and how much better these older machines truly are.
I love when people call them mowers, they are tractors, the reason I gripe, is because when a customer calls me for a service, I have different pricing for a mower, and a tractor, so I ask now, when the customer says they need a service on their mower, I ask, do they sit on it to mow, or push, 70 for a push mower, and 150 for a tractor.
@@garagestory true, but what I meant was when going to a customer's home, after you quoted 70 for a mower, and finding its a tractor, then you lose money.
@@garagestory I usually refer to them as riding mowers or lawn tractors, or garden tractors depending on their size, and if it has 4 to 6 bolts on each rear tire but that's just me.
@@garagestory hopefully you aren't having any trouble with that stuff called ethanol gas and yes it is a great blessing to get free lawn care equipment

I personally would consider them tractor style mowers, but not true tractors…🤷♂️

Because 9x out of ten, the customer won't pay more then you quoted.
So I aways ask before quoting a price.

Congrats on your getting 2 mowers for free can't beat that with a baseball bat
It’s a blessing for sure!

I always try to use ethanol free gas for the small engines. No telling what they’ve had before I get them though!
The yt4000 is worth 1500 by me all day long
Sounds like you have a good market for used mowers there!
Maybe you can make enough money to get a new windshield?
What’s wrong with a few cracks?😁
I don't own anything past 1978
New tractors today are disposable garbage
The old ones do seem to be built to last!
