      Well either it fires and you get to see it, or it don’t… You can kinda assume if the vid ends and there isn’t a show of success that it didn’t end the way it was planned. I’d be suspicious if they said it all worked but never showed it running or not

    Back in the mid 70's when I was a kid, I was given a old 60's Montgomery Ward push mower by this little old lady down the street. It was a Powr Kraft 3 HP, painted gold with a wind up starter, I was fascinated with the wind up starter. With the help of my father, we flushed the tank and cleaned the carbanator, there was no UA-cam back then, so we used a puller to pop the flywheel off :D cleaned and set the points. Hot spark and compresieown...... a little dinosaur juice, wound her up and she popped right off! My father adjusted the carbanator and she ran like a champ :) I mowed many lawns with Goldie, the wind up starter fascinated people, "How do you start this thing?" Oh. you just wind her up, set the choke.... and twist this handle :D

    My dad had one of those 19" Toros. He bought it in 66 or 67. There was no scalp disc on the blade that I remember. Also the blade was S shaped. He used a side bagger. He mower with that mower until 1990 and sold it to another guy at a garage sale. Always easy to start and so light. The original Toro wheels were wider so they didn't leave marks on the lawn. He had the Tekumish engine with the exhaust through the deck. Thanks for the memories.

    My Dad was a Toro dealer for years... The wash out plug is a sign of just how good a piece of equipment Toro was turning out back then . My Dad sold a LOT of side discharge 19's and 21's . We actually had 2 or 3 customers cut off fingers using the wash out plug. Another sign of quality and I'm surprised Taryl did not mention it is the "Anti-Scalp disc" . That 50 cent piece of metal was a huge selling point that would usually ace the sale.. . The good old days

    Nice mower - my dad had a 21 inch Whirlwind push mower of the same vintage with a side bagger. Our 21 inch model had a Briggs like the one in the video and was equipped with a dipstick also. We moved into a home with a half acre lawn and the mower sure got some hours on it cutting the grass. It was the first lawn mower I mowed with. I took it to small engine class in high school when it was roughly 14 years old. It was the first small engine I overhauled. The mower was used for another 5 - 6 years until my father replaced it. The mower lasted 20 plus years - the deck was still good when the engine was wore out.
    I haven't seen one of those Whirlwinds in nearly 30 years. The sight of that thing sure brought back some memories.

    Yep, this exact mower also came with a Tecumseh LAV30 engine with an under deck muffler, I had one for many years. Mine was from 1969 and had a vertical pull starter but the ones from 1967 and earlier had crank-up impulse starters. Once it was all cranked up you would release the starter by setting the throttle control to the choke position. That mower you have was also available with a green deck and a blue shroud, they called it a Toro Fiesta mower.

Oil bath carburator air cleaner. The exhaust went under the deck. Wind up starter that never worked right. A oil reservoir. That was supposed to keep you from measuring the oil with a dipstick. Had a push button. And for the 1960s had a wash out port for a hose to clean out the grass.

    Those 3and half horse power lawn mowers were pretty hardy. I mowed a bunch of fields with my 3.5 hp mowers and they came back for more!

    Hey Taryl ,reminds me of the time I had a old Crapsmen mower I couldn't get a new recoil start for. Thought I was smart using my new 1/2" drill with a socket on top of the flywheel to start it until it backfired one day destroying the teeth on every gear inside the drill. And there's your dinner.

    It would be interesting to see how you drill out the broken screw.

      Needs to use a brass hammer for that. Won't risk damaging the crank that way.

    That old Briggs Sounds really good! The movie "Stone Cold" was actually a pretty good flick, and had a good cast as well.

    it's fun to work on the old stuff occasionally. I've got the mower engine I bought (the only mower I've bought) in 1991, it's the same number, but from 74

    I have a Craftsman edger that uses a similar motor. Rebuilt the carburetor with the gaskets and the diaphragm and a new primer bulb and air filter too. Runs great but normally needs starting fluid to get going. Last year the blade shaft broke in half, it's a shaft with a threaded rod at each end for attaching the pulley and the blade. I had to scramble to find a local small time machine shop. Found a guy in Highland who was closing up shop for good in a few weeks. I think he repaired it for $30 but that was basically finding a needle in a haystack. Most machine shops don't even want to touch it and if they do they want to charge you 300% the cost of the machine in the first place, in my experience at least.

    I'm still using my 1982 Toro. A lot of similarities, except 21" and self propelled. Had a black engine cover, hinged for the fuel tank I think I might have tossed that when we moved a few years ago. We bought it new for my mother during the 1982 World Series at the local hardware store to replace her Jacobsen from about 1967. Its a tank, and might run forever! I just change the oil and order-up whatever it needs to keep going.
