Ole Mustie never mows his yard with the same mower twice!
paul beenis me too but my main mower is a John Deere gt245 I sometimes use my cube 1812 or the red 582 or my simplicity 4211 or my snapper vibragevridibg mower or my John Deere 68 rear engine riding mower good stuff
I use my neighbor’s mower...and his Sons. Gave them a mountain bike and R/C gear. Tried to pay 💰 them. The father won’t let them accept it.
STEVE W..me either...i haven't used my own mower in years cuz i fix other peoples mowers and snowblowers...gotta test them out before sending them back to the owner
LOLOL ! Amen
😂😂
Mustie I’ve been watching you for years I can’t explain the amount of stuff I have learned from you about motors and just everything thank you
Dear Mints S.
You mean engines? 😂😁
Best regards, luck and health.
Same here man, my neighbor has been into the small engine bizz for about 40 years and is finally getting tired of it, and i am lucky enough to be able to take what hes gathered over the years and be able to pass it down to others. this hobby is so fun because when you work on something for 2 hours and you finally hear it run after not knowing how long it had been. its really satisfying, Have a good day man!
I second everything you just said!
Correction engines haha
Nope he was right in saying motor's that's what we say in England
@Mustie1, thanks for all the videos! I'm 45 years old and I have never been in to motors.. But for half a year ago I decided that I want to be able to repair machines my self. I have looked at all your videos of small machine repair now. And now I have repaired 2 lawn movers, One mini quad and bougt my self a non working MC from 1947 and taken down the whole engine in parts and together again. So thanks very much!
Best regards from Sweden
That is awesome!
I too have learned much. Due to being better educated, my cussing during projects have gone way down.
Same here! I startet to repair my piaggio scooter myself and be confident to give my mower a basic service. I enjoy how you explain how to diagnose and check most possible issues strategicly. Thanks and Greetings from Germany to Mustie! beathecarpentiere ;-)
Run??
I swear, you always manage to get the world's best deal, on the items you share with us. I sure do wish I had even half of your luck in finding stuff like this.
Love you attitude. I’m swearing less now and throwing less tools now during my repairs. You’re the best fix it guy on UA-cam
South Main Auto helps too.. Son of a biscuit lol
I used to get upset working on projects. Instead of giving yourself a clear head, it seems to make matters worse. Have some fun with a challenge, learn, and be patient. It usually all falls into place with time. This is what I have experienced.
@@mikespain8655 well said👍👍

What's up !?.
I am really getting to like these mid week Mustie's.. Especially on a rainy morning...Thanks for the bonus vid..Keep them coming..
Mid week Mustie fantastic
Hell yeah!! A bright spot in the mid week lineup!!
Wow he got a mower to run that had been barely used..BIG-DEAL!
@@chadsimmons6347 I never believed these stupid videos I should stop wasting my time with them
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk99q6
Zero turns are so expensive nowadays, so getting that toro for 400 is a steal in my opinion
I bought my Toro ZTR about five years ago, thru Home Depot. It was only $200 more than the Toro tractor with the same size deck.
living in belgium everything that comes on this channel is a "steal" anything used or second hand still goes at a premium price
That mower sells new for about $2700!!!
@@donabele1243 company that I work for sells them for 10 000€ new!
10,000€ for a zero turn? You can get a new sub compact car for close to that price.
The fuel cutoff is directly connected to the beverage holder.
Lmao best comment nomination! Gonna have to tell my wife this when she asks why I stopped mowing!
NO !! IT'S !! NOT !!! A !! BEVERAGE !! HOLDER !! THATS !! THE !! TOOLBOX !!!!
That mower looks like it was only used once....great find!
After Brian cut his lawn, he now has a new name....Dusty1.
I have that same high dollar sod in my yard, too. Eats up 2 or three sets of blades a year.
I have that same problem. At east two, sometimes three sets of blades every year. If I'm using the mower with the bagger attachment I get a real workout taking those bags off and dumping them because they are so full of sand. Who needs to waste money on a gym when you have a yard like mine?
Who's Brian?..
Very nice garden, Mrs. Mustie.
Another great Mustie score! $3,000+ mower (hardly used) for $400. You are definitely 'da man!
FYI I have a zero turn with an enclosure around the engine. I installed pipe wrap on the exhaust manifolds and muffler. Dropped engine compartment temperature by 20-30 degrees.
Great tip. 👍👍
Good idea! I use the header wrap on my racecar never though to put it on the mower. Will definitely lower the air temp also help with keeping it catch fire around the exhaust and muffler. Ok I'm headed to the garage now! Lol
The slo mo dismount, I truly expected a face plant or something painful. It’s nice to have something easy to fix once in a while. Good vid.
Great job on the resurrection of that Z-turn. Looked like a bad battery and the blade were the biggies. Remember "Don't pet the Fluffy cows"
Beautiful Bison - it's always worth waiting to the end of your videos!
Yeah. Mustie1 is now making nature films "See the dominant male run off the younger one"
2 in one week thanks Mustie, they are my favourite videos on UA-cam :)
Mustie OD...like the good ol. Days
I woke up this morning thinking to myself. I wish it was sunday right now so I could enjoy my coffee with a Mustie1 video. I opened up youtube and bam! There was a new Mustie video had just been uploaded 9mins before! Love feeling like I willed a video into existence haha.
Good morning!
There was not much wrenching going on. Every now and then an easy fix comes along and it is an “IN & OUT fix. Thanks for sharing alway good to watch..
Mr Mustie1 - I never understood how useful a jumper pack was until I watched you using them for just about everything. I ended up acquiring one recently and it is really a game changer. Thank you.
Nice to get an easy one every once in awhile! They are great little machines for a home owner! I'm sure Brian will definitely appreciate having it! Sure beats pushing 2 acres!
May have had better success with the glue up of your tire without inner pressure pushing out on glue👌
Thought same
Real nice mower! Brian is lucky to have a good friend like you!!
In my city of MIssissauga, Ontario, Canada...we used to be able to bag grass clippings and the city would pick them up weekly, make compost and then sell the compost. Great service. Now, that service has been discontinued. We are all encouraged to simply cut the grass and leave the clippings to degrade back into the soil. Given most mowers use mulching blades, this actually works well. Once we got over the city taking away a service we had grown used to receiving, it is actually an intelligent policy to have implemented.
You really are a very skilled guy and a brilliant presenter of vlogs. Great viewing
LOL! That tire monologue was classic Mustie! All alternatives EXCEPT just simply buying a new one was considered....
Mowing a few acres with a push mower? Mustie, you're a true friend indeed! I'm surprised they haven't had a heart attack yet.
My Pops used to have his house and the next door lot. At least two acres and hilly in spots. We had two push mowers. Seems like after we finished mowing it was time to start again. 🥵
Thanks for another mid-week treat especially here on a rainy UK afternoon. You got a real bargain there but I detect a slight disappointment that it didn't give you much of a challenge. Thanks again and stay safe.
This thing was an absolute steal, even if it needs a tire.
I used a side patch for tires. Worked till they were dead. Trick is to clean and grind the top layer off the inside then glue then dry then apply the patch with a roller wheel
Darren I bet you make a LOT of folks happy in your town. Fine upstanding guy! We need more like you.
That same machine would go for $1100 easy here in Florida. What a steal!
I've got the same engine in my Cub Cadet tractor, it is still running great but getting a peek under the covers was interesting and a good reference for future maintenance. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy them.
16:00 you gotta get it wet first 😜 I ain't gonna lie my mind went straight to the gutter keep up with the brilliant work always a pleasure watching you work stay safe and well dude
43:29 Really nice to see that your back is doing good.
Nice. Enjoyed. Have a great day.
I was telling you to use Right Stuff on that tire. You got me hooked on it.
A friend of mine just bought a used cub cadet. First riding mower I have ever worked on. Thanks for all you have taught me about them. It was backfiring real bad. The fuel cutoff in the bottom of the float bowl was disconnected. Thanks for explaining that.
you have got to stop putting gas in tayrl's coffee , I think it's effecting his teeth.
Yea he’s got taryl teeth for sale they are made to look like his I feel like I need them I love me some good taryl apparel also I’m not sure that it’s good to drink gas taryl. !!
Dinosaur juice is good for your teeth.
(never drink gasoline)
He took dinosaur juice out of the carbutrator into his Taryl mug and set it down on the muffkin. This was all from a Kroller engine.
affecting, it's affecting his teeth, or if you prefer, it has an effect on his teeth
I'm sure someone will take issue with my correction, so let me just say there's nothing wrong with a good education. Besides, I'm a veteran, so your taxpayer dollars helped provide me with said education and the least I can do is share it with you for no charge.
Great find for sure Sir. Thanks again
vwnut 1967 Brian you could have said hello to us before you started your cutting grass! 🤪
Since you have a mower with a bagger you can start some good compost for your garden!
You are beyond belief with that mower. It didn't have any of the problems that you were accustomed to getting. But you did get one hell of a deal.
You are an inspiration not only in your skills but you make me laugh. Thanks. wah wah wah.
Watching you ride that mower around made me think of Benny Hill.
I thiught the exact same thing..
How about the guy in the raincoat riding the tricycle on Laugh In?
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Because you never listen!!
Lol! Yup, I was also yelling.
Loved the mowing video at the end... was expecting the Keystone Kops to show up and chase you around the yard! Thanks for the mid-week video, and showing off the wife's victory garden!
Hump day Mustie! Can't beat it! That's the way power wheelchairs work. Even the battery terminals were the same. Love from NW. Thanxz
I bought and older model of the "Time Cutter" just to get me through one season so I wouldn't have to buy a new mower in the spring. I've had to weld it up all over for being worn out but it's still cutting so I use it for the rough part of the yard so as not to tear up my new one. I had to change out a blown head gasket. The drives are sealed units, I asked a dealer about the life time and he told me he had never had one returned with an issue in the drive units other than a belt issue. The first few times I mowed with a Z turn my hands were worn out from holding on but after I got used to it that went away.
Mustie1 I don't know if you heard or not but Jeff Bradshaw AKA Elder iron had been in a serious head on collision back in August he had two surgeries on his leg and Ankle broken some ribs punctured a lung and a serious concussion since then he has been released on August 30th thank God for that. I don't know if you're aware but I was asked to spread the news. Right now he is in still bad shape and his family is suffering as well. Him being a fellow UA-camr and a vintage truck restore I thought you should know. I found out from the backyard Alaskan yesterday and he asked to spread the word so I am take care mustie1
Our prayers go out to him and family for speedy recovery
@@rsprockets7846 thank you so much I'm sure they will appreciate everything
Garden looks good. You were very lucky in that fix up. The buffalo are also fun to watch. Thanks for sharing with us. Take care.
Looks like a very well designed machine.
I have the same Toro. I clean the plugs every oil and clean the gas.
thanks for turning me on to Vice Grip Garage. that dude is hilarious!
I concur. The four post Lift episode. I binged all VGG vids after.
Just finished watching all of his videos. Another good one is Andrew Camarata. He does excavating. Doesn't sound great but you cant stop watching. He has also built a house and workshop out of shipping containers. Great channel.
Glad to see a zero turn video. My first Mustie type resurrection was last year when a friend gave me his Dixon ZTR. I did the carb as per Mustie and I now have a good mower. It is one of the old style ztr’s drivern by cones, not hydraulic. It’s a 3 blade unit and is great on flat surfaces.
I have owned the 52 inch version of this mower for 6 years and it was 11 years old when I got it. It is great and bullet proof, has a 19 hp Kawasaki motor. Thanks for the great videos, I watch every one that I can.
My brother has the same Toro zero turn lawnmower. For years, he's been trying to talk me into getting one. But, I can't give up my old Cub Cadet tractor since its so reliable.
I'm a simple man. I am a sucker for a steering wheel.
Just run it into the ground so many times it can't anymore
Who says you gotta give it up? He who dies with the most toys wins my friend! LOL
Don't give up reliability.
Love the vids I am 12 and have a go kart and want to fix more!!
Good to see young men like yourself are still out there! Most kids your age have no interest in fixing anything. My two boys love working with me in the shop. My son started learning with me around 4 or 5 years old now today he can weld rebuild carburetors rebuild a small engine along with alot of other stuff. Now at the age of 11 we have started building his first car for him when he turns 16! My advice is when your out and you see an old lawn mower or something with an engine out in the trash bring it home and take it apart and experiment see if you can make it come alive. Start with something that dont matter so if you mess up it's no big deal! Follow your dreams young man if you want something chase it! Also your soon going to be in high school in a few years look into tech school! Not sure if its offered in your area but it is a very good way for young men like you to learn how to work on things and learn a very valuable trade! Many different classes that give you the opportunity to learn alot everything from diesel mechanics to welding, auto mechanics, autobody, and the list goes on definitely something to look into! But for now follow your dreams!
you go man !
Same but I’ve got an old gator that I’m putting a jet ski engine in
You don't need any gimmick like goofy teeth to appeal to us, you're just a very good mechanic. that's why we love and respect you. Don't let the idiots get under your skin, I know that you know what you're doing, they are the ones who need to learn a few things! God bless you and the wife and dogs :-)
Mustie1 yeah the last project from that pile that you bought from that lady needed a coil and yeah it probably washed the cylinder out with gas so you change the oil but looking at the stuff that you bought from her there was no doubt in my mind that you got a hell of a deal ,you got 10 year old brand new stuff and you definitely knew it. I'm glad that you got such good stuff they will definitely make a good resale for somebody. Or if you keep them that'll be great for you, four hundred bucks for a Toro Zero Turn never heard of such a thing . Hats off to you mustie1 for making the deal of the century. I mean the last video I watched with the Cutlass I thought that was a great one to, the deal of the century I was thinking of myself where in the hell does he find this stuff. Well we all know because you are a national celebrity now worldwide mustie1. I am feeling very blessed with the amount of videos that you are putting out if I can get the rest of my favorites to do the same thing I would never have to watch regular TV or Netflix. Mustie1 stay safe stay well and as always God bless.
thank you sir
Deflate the tire after you glue it, otherwise it blows the glue out. I've had good luck with shoe goo as well. Hope this helps. Love the videos!
Yes on air, but I would try a patch. Idk. It's just my opinion.
haha Taryl Fixes All coffee mug! Awesome!
Two Sundays in our week with Mustie, just loving it keep them coming Mustie 👍👍👍👍👍👍
OMG!!! This was an amazing purchase hardly any issues with it. Hopefully the John Deere that you purchased along with this group has no issues also. Keep up the great work, you have taught a lesson to everyone about how to do it yourself projects.
"Not that I don't suspect that it shouldn't" was the most complex way I've heard someone say "it should"
fuckin lost in translatiion... lol
That machine looks so fresh that I’m wondering whether that upside-down blade slipped through QC at the factory. 😜
Thanks for the bonus mid week Mustie1, loved the fast motion running parts! Stay safe.
a blast watching you... learning a TON! Thanks and Happy New Year eyah
$400!! Im currently shopping for the exact same mower here in Australia, and a 2nd hand one sells for around $4k to $6k AU and a new one is over $7K!
In Canada too. Sadly.
I would like to musties friend
Yeah - you stole that thing! It looks like it's practically brand new.
So, we need a Mrs. Mustie1 gardening channel now... ...I know my good lady wife would tune in!
Nice machine beautiful.
Maybe she can take the FJ Cruiser out for supplies so we can see it again
This channel is showing up at your buddies garage, cracking a beer, watching him or her work on their broken thing and being thrilled it's not your thing that needs to take you to work in the morning.
It’s nice to see home base again, I miss it. Well done on the pick, Brian is going to dig it. Also I’m liking the sideburns, because of you I’m growing mine.
Take the caps off the battery. Charge 200amps for 15 minutes, then let cool for 1 hour, Repeat this process until all cells show a good "bubbling". (consistent gurgling) This will bring battery back to life and also clean plates.
Mustie, you STOLE that Toro!!!!! There wasn't even dirt on the rear tires, probably delivered to the house and the guy died right after that. Nice money to be made at resale, man on man......lol
Your work has inspired me to get my big snapper riding lawn mower running, turns over won't start carburetor check first
Another awesome Mustie1 episode I missed.
Back when he still had muttonchop sideburns working from his garage.
I love when one pops up when I'm jonesing for one.
Hopefully we get one tbis Sunday.
I got one of the side of the road started right up I was like why did they throw away until I went to mow brand new blades upside down traded it for a big electric heater and installed in shop
Fortunate find.
Came up looking like new! Would sell for a lot Around my area. Great work, love the small engine fixes.
Nice..... you scored an easy fix for a change and it looks to be a pretty cool unit, as well!!
Well this is a funky setup,that steering is real... watch the roses!!
That steering is really funny.
Yo know Brians going to drive it in the woods😂🤣
Lmao gonna have big 4 wheeler tires on it and a winch before mustie leaves! Next video "trail riding a zero turn" !
Dear Mustie1.
👍👌👏 Well done again. Seems to be a really good machine. Over here in Germany Toro is very expensive. You could have made a lot of profit but friendship counts definitely more than money (at least mostly). I'm wondering if this device wasn't used because it mowed bad (because of the one upside down blade).
2) Yeah nut, cut the sand!
3) Nice Buffalo footage. Every time I see a Buffalo it reminds me instantly of the fantastic Kevin Costner movie.
Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and health.
Zero turns are amazing mowers. Never got to try one but looks like fun if you have to mow your lawn. Great video Mustie.
Yes. those zero turns are a blast. used a John Deere and a Walker. Walker doesn’t like wet grass at all. and small stick I found out. your a kick in the pants. Keep it up. :-)
43:34 : was that your David Lee Roth dismount ? :)
HaHa!! That was good Jason!! 😂 If I try to jump like that I would end up getting hurt.
The younger guys have no idea what you are talking about, or who DLR is, nevermind Van Halen's song "Jump". Good one :-)
@@davekauffman8727 24 year old here, VH is the best and Hagar just could not fill the void that DLR left behind
RIP Eddie
Hahaha, found it instantly. Upside down blade, lol. Do landscaping and I can't even count the number of times i've caught other crew installing them upside down. Very common mistake for those that do the mowing, but don't have a lot of experience with maintaining equipment
Yupper. Put an edge on the blades while jacked up. Get a new tire. Mow.....
Had my zero turn for five years and one spring put the blades on upside down. Doh!
Good deal for 400 bucks. Great condition, very little found wrong with it. Nice find!
Well what a nice surprise for my Wednesday, a Tuesday Mustie1 video. Highly appreciate your efforts and the resulting videos. Cheers.
probably came off the assembly line like that, and the dealer never even looked under the deck
my thought too ! or dealer set up before delivery ? $ 6000.00 mower/ no way the old man did it. avoid that dealer
Louis Rossmann had the same camera issue - the need to use an app to get the camera running. The only reason for that is that they want to track you, so don't use it for privacy reasons.
So far GoPro don't do that, even though GoPro have some quirks too.
You scored! That sucker is mint! Bug-nut got grins and smiles for years. Chicken dinner! Hey Zero turns put a lot of stress on the outside walls of tires, inherently. Gota replace the tire.... oh well. It purred when first fired up. 400$: Major score. What else can you say. Dig the whole setup.
So nice to see the old shop and yard, the new shop is nice but I miss the old one.
Ya might try letting air out of the tire before gluing. the hole might seal, not much of a chance while air is escaping through the hole
Deflate the tire before you glue it so their isnt any pressure on that sealant trying to adhere
I thought the same thing. Probably would have worked. If only he could hear us!
Came to the comments to say the same.
You got a great deal on that one! Nice machine. I've mowed the lawn at a friends cabin a few time with his. It's just like this one. Ya it took a few minutes to get it figured out. But after you get the hang of it, they are really great handling mowers. Great find.
That was a good find. Glad someone is gonna use the heck out of it !
"Cut that sand!" Yup, looks familiar
Is that North eastern for cut the cheese?😂
Deflating the tire before gluing might have worked. The air just blew out the glue.
your struck a home run on this mower. Its all but new. Good Buy!
Nice dismount Ole Twinkle-Toes! Great mid week surprise, another fun little project completed! My little shop here in Georgia is at 102 degrees when I open the door. 90 would be like air conditioning.
bruh I've been dying to get one of those. And I can't find anything broken or not below $900, I wish I had that kinda luck.
I can mow with a tractor all day long I get on a zero turn and I start hitting things
No complaining here. I’ve loved all your vids. Excellent content I’ve learned a lot. Cheers!
97 degrees, I was sweating thing of it. Surprised the fan and A/C noise not more. Thanks for sharing.
