For me (due to old age), gone are the days of pulling a 396 from a 69 Chevelle by using a branch of a large shade tree, gone are the days of sitting on the fender with my legs inside the engine well to work on it, gone are the days of changing my own oil, gone are the days of the need for speed. Although I do thank you for your videos for many hours of your wrenching. It reminds me of my youth but I cussed alot when smacking my knuckles against unforgiving solid metal. Oh what fun it was. Thanks again.
My brother bought a new 1969 Chevelle with a 396-375hp. Wonderful car.
@@fasteddy917 I didn't buy it new but I had the time of my life building the engine and tranny. It was the 375hp. It was stamped in the block. Back then it would pass everything but the gas station.
@@charleskitson4903 There were rumours in our neighbourhood that when you shifted into 4th gear at a 100mph the back end of the car would dance side to side and yes, you had to plan your trip by how many gas stations you had along the route.
Me and my uncle tore that engine down, never will forget that rumbling sound, way back a holler up on Copperfield Road.
Yea, but we got those good memories,Charles.
I really admire this young man. He is energetic, not scared to tackle almost anything and really level headed. He has such a great attitude along with his diligence to detail is downright refreshing in a world where people park things by the side of the road here comes Mustie to save the poor thing from the dump. Lot more good here than just saving lawn mowers, tillers and VW's . It's a matter of a good person with a great work ethic. Lord knows we need a lot more of this! God bless you Mustie1 keep it up!
I admire him to, I don't think their is anything he can't fix.
dudes like 65
Are you the actor John Goodman the famous one that was in Rosanne
Drew A he's in his 50's.
The jokes are pretty good too..
Very educational as always but it never feels like you’re being taught, just like you’re spending time with a friend in their garage. The best channel on UA-cam.
Yeah, but he keeps asking you to bring him a screwdriver or move out of the way...
@@lawsaye It cracks me up when he asks the camera, "What do you think?" or "Where is that piece?" like we have a chance to help him out!
@@terryh5060thanks for sharing your experience.
John Deere means nothing to us Brits, we don’t understand the heritage. The first time I ever heard the name was when on the American Pickers show they were fighting over an old enamel advertising sign. It’s good to see you saving these old machines that are repairable in the days of built in obsolescence on many new products. Love your videos Mustie.👍
Take your time Mustie and be safe. We aren’t going anywhere!
. " We aren’t going anywhere!
" .... Literally ...
I think Musties subs will double by the time this covid crap is over....
Being forced to stay at home from this virus crap makes Mustie 1 videos a must see for relaxation mode and learn something new.
Literally. 😉
@@mcscheck2000 Ya i hope so think He should have a ton more anyway, He's really good at what he does
@@bradvirtue4650 I just hope that he continues to feel well, not just because of the virus but from all the crap that comes from getting older. Don't ask me about it, you'd get an earful!
You are great.I love watching your vids. I am 69 and a do-it-yourselfer. My dad told me many years ago to learn to do things yourself. It costs a lot of money to hire people to things for you. The best way to learn is doing.
Mustie1 is one of the best UA-cam video wrench-twirlers in action. Teaching without preaching. Understanding, explaining as needed and sometimes throwing inside comments, jokes just for the fun of it!
It's great to start with a supposed narrative, only to be proven incorrect by some/all facts discovered later huh? Ever seen one of those trainwrecks coming down the pike, but not knowing when derailment will happen, but we know it will in the end? Not too many on this Channel of late. Excellent product here Mustie1!
Mustie, that was so cool seeing how the brake system works on the mower. I was always curious how the system worked. Reading or talking about it is one thing, but seeing you tear down the brakes was great. It all came together in this vacuum in my head. Thanks again for all the work you do on UA-cam, I enjoy your videos and always fun when a new video arrives. Be safe and be well.
Thanks for your information and I enjoyed your work.
Every old lawn mower's dream is to end up on Mustie's lift.
Did you see *THE BONE YARD* ?!
Mustie’s operating table saves another patient.
Unless the mower was looking forward to retirement.
And their nightmare is to end up in project farms garage
@@dans_Learning_Curve my point exactly, for every one he saves, 5 others are rotting away on the graveyard outside, neglected and unloved... ;-).
Mustie my friend .....one constant in this world of madness.
Alec I so agree the World seems to be falling apart and here we have Mustie 1 plugging along.
Did you both see that Darren wearing a knife. I know he does from time to time.
@@danielsweeney6742 Keeps people from trying to raid his TP supply..
Maybe but I thing he might need something a little stronger.
@@danielsweeney6742 You mean a pistol, right? Does his state have open carry?
The fact that he solves the mystery rather than just looking it up, makes this the best channel on UA-cam. Thanks for reminding me what day it is with a Sunday morning video.
And my reply to those whippersnappers is, and what happens when you cant get access to google? Huh punk?
I like that you show the troubleshooting steps on electrical and other systems. I always learn something new when you take the time to do that, and sincerely appreciate it.
Keep showing how you diagnose the problem Mate.
Unfortunately, in the era of Google, thinking for yourself is a dying trait
Totally agree 💯👍!
It's nice to learn his knowledge level! Which is *HIGH* !
I like seeing his process, but for someone like me who is totally clueless, you need a starting place and Google is a god send. Otherwise, I'd just be sitting there scratching my head.
Dave Moore, seeing how many people are absolutely CLUELESS right now in the midst of this pandemic running across the country, I am convinced that thinking, period, is an unknown experience for many people. It is stunning to see how many just will not follow the safety guidelines and threaten all of us with their ignorance!
@@TXH1138 then he's making these videos for you. People who haven't brought a mower back from the dead.
@@richardcline1337 Clueless about lawn mower PTO's doesn't mean clueless about everything else. And any assumption on your part is insulting to all.
'Feel like I'm in a Doors song'
That means you need more ventilation when you're painting.
LOL
I'm wondering if he's going to paint the front cover once he sees the contrast between it and the rear cover. So maybe he'll end up in another song next video.
@@grizzlygrizzle If he does my favorite Doors song is 'The End'
rwdplz1 A classic for sure, just like Mustie1.
Mr Mojo Risin
Thank you for providing these "long-version" videos. Even when I am not interested in "what" you are working on, I am very interested in "how" you approach the hidden problems on a new mechanical item. Many "older people" will have learned that you cannot "look up" the answer to every problem in life.
As a guy who’s willing to disassemble and “try” to fix almost anything, I never really futzed around with electrical systems or carburetors because they both always seemed too complex and finicky for me to enjoy. I wasted a lot of time on both early on, and found more bang for my buck concentrating on other things. Mustie1’s videos have taught me methodical troubleshooting approaches to both and for that I’m grateful. COVID-19 has set the world’s “normal” on its head but it’s also provided my many hours to watch and learn from Darren. Thanks Mustie!
Thank you for keeping me sane. Stay safe.
Mustie the wife wants to know "what does he do with all this free stuff" I told her you most likely sell it to keep your shop funded for more fun projects.
I'm completely sold on Mustie's proven mechanical skills and now I'm equally impressed by his electrical expertise - impressive!
I learned so much from watching you and your videos Darren. Today i fixed my neighbours gasoline high pressure washer he got for free from someone that never used it because it didnt ran.
I did a little wrenching (as you say) and found that the coil wasn't close enough to the flywheel. Learned that from you, fixed it like you did and she's alive!!!.
Keep up the good work, make lotsa videos and hope you and your loved ones stay healthy and strong.
thank you Mustie, im glad im one of the first 150 to see this video this morning. Your videos are always informative and motivating, along with your humor and general gabbing. This, is exactly what i needed today, take my mind off the state of the world. Stay safe my friend, and hope all is well.
52:15 "I'm gonna do a bunch of this in private" means, at least for me, that I'm gonna swear at it a hole lot, dammit to hell numerous times, then bargain with it, then lose all hope and bugger off for a cup of coffee, then reach new levels of anger where I shear the bolt off and mock it...
Or as I like to call it the 5 stages of removing a stuck nut/bolt... Anger, bargaining, depression, anger and finally mockery
Lol sounds like my dad minus the coffee break
@@darthrevan2063 Unfortunately this is me, I also have a full blown conversation with myself when I'm working on machines, a bit like Mustie1...
"OK I've checked the oil, tightened that, have that done, greased that, battery's good...yada, yada, yada" or "Right, I've checked everything and you are not cooperating you ~£$$"%^!&&**, fine stay stuck, see if I care %%!^^&&"**!(()@@~~@"
General Disarray that sounds a lot like me when I work on computers minus the screws being stuck thro I have snapped a couple mounting screws.
@@darthrevan2063 I work in IT but work on my car or anything mechanical to relax, it doesn't always work.
My nephew got a new graphics card last Christmas and said it wasn't working so asked me to have a look. I take off the side cover, lie the machine down on its side, pull out the graphics card to check the slot, then shove the card back down into the slot and CLICK. At this stage my nephew's turning white, and looking worried. Turn on pc and theres the graphics card...he was so dainty with it he hadn't seated the card in the slot fully...🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was wondering if the shake and break was coming out for those bolts.then it did come out a bit later
The troubleshooting steps you take are much appreciated.
Your diagnostic procedure is top notch Mustie and it makes you independent of material on the internet especially with older machines that have limited diagnostic material available. Take no notice of those who say look it up online, most of them wouldn't be able to diagnose a broken fuse without consulting the internet. Your best friend is that multimeter.
I have to say I really appreciate the trouble shooting and the process on how to figure things out, Im new to all this and seeing you figure it out on screen is a big help, even on things like taking the key switch apart, it takes the unknown out of it and makes me feel I have a chance on figuring it out eventually as well. Keep it up its greatly appreciated.
Most of the PTO switches do at least 3 things. They turn the PTO on/off, most prevent the starter from operating if the PTO is on and they also go through the seat switch so that if you get off the machine the PTO shuts off. Some also have a switch so the PTO shuts off when you go in reverse.
Ah yes, the reverse safety, the dumbest safety feature on any mower
Watching you troubleshoot and understand how things work is exactly why I watch every single one of your videos.
I for one really appreciate how you show the long way of troubleshooting things. Your ways of doing things what seems like the hard way has taught me a very valuable skill set of being able to think through a problem instead of just searching for an answer online. Keep being you Mustie!
Measuring the oil filter with a calibrated finger.
He also has a Torque Wrench Elbow LOL
best tool for the job
He was popular in school..... 😉
Today I was tightening some bolts down, and yeah, I did the Mustie1 torque method..."click".
I just wanted to say, besides great channel that the use of chain oil is a great hint. I use it all the time now to keep my hitch & chrome lug nuts from rusting over the winter. Tough winters here in Ontario, Canada. Stay safe & well!
Meant to say “from rusting...”
Another awesome save Dude ! Couple suggestions, AERO-KROIL is one of the BEST looseners I've evr found. A tad pricey ($20 a can) but to me .. worth EVERY penny. Works within MINUTES. We used to use it on aircraft engines, those puppies are BAKED together. Also, next time you're at Harbor Freight pick up an Oscillating tool. (about $20) there are a NUMBER of cutting and polishing adapters you can put on it. They work TERRIFIC on plastic, drywall, wood, metal ... and they work FAST !! Thanks for another great video !!
Great Job I really enjoy watching you problem solve. Keep up the good work!!!
It's amazing how many people have never heard the second set of vocals on "Riders on the storm". Once you hear it you cant unhear it.
Trouble shooting is a lost art in the age of google
Joe Dingman for most now days yes.. but for the rest of us that tinker, there’s valuable information when we share... google gets you so far... the rest of us fix your issues
really enjoy your videos. Help me remember my dad who has passed.
Sorry to hear that
No need to apologize for the in detail trouble shooting. Younger generations don't have a way to learn it in school.
Long time subscriber. Thanks for everything!
I always enjoy these videos and look forward to them on Sunday mornings. I have had to cut my share of holes in plastic and came up with a trick years ago. I took and eXacto knife blade and attached it to my soldering iron. When you heat up the iron it heats up the knife blade and you can then easily cut through plastic. It will usually leave a nice clean cut that will look like it was molded into it.
Neat trick, thanks for sharing!
Nice tip.
"A million is very close to infinity" Never change man, you always make me laugh 🙂
Niall Kirby, this is the basis of understanding the lottery. Mathematically, you have the same chance of winning, whether or not you buy a ticket. Because 1/292,201,338 is essentially zero.
When he said that I thought that all the mathematicians viewing this video probably began pounding on their chest yelling "clear, clear".
@@mrblanche Actually the way I see it is you have an infinitely greater chance of winning if you bought a ticket as opposed to not buying a ticket. But yes, still infinitesimally small but yet infinitely greater than zero.
I'm glad Mustie is not like me or else he would get hung up at an effort of ridiculous perfection and his videos would take days just to change a spark plug.
mrblanche Sad but true
Your old school on how to solve problems you are a very good teacher and how to go about fixing things
Mustie, may you and yours stay warm, safe and well.
Sir Mustie1, I like that you don’t go straight to the wiring diagrams. I’m a service manager of a major equipment rental company and one of my interview questions is “let’s say your out in the middle of no where and you have no wiring diagrams or internet service and you have to install a generic ignition switch to get the unit running, what would you do to make it work?” Almost none of the applicants can answer the question?
I prefer the schematics to save time, but knowing how to use a good multimeter is a handy skill to have. Among my hobbies is retro computers, and the skill is the same when there isn't a service manual available.
A test light, a multi-meter, black tape and a dictionary of curse words.
i am glad you don't have to look everything up. you have the knowledge
I like how you think about showing people how to troubleshoot troubleshooting is everything me being a retired aircraft electrician a good troubleshooter is worth his weight in gold
I remember a couple of years back roughly, being stuck at home with Pneumonia, feeling really lousy and struggling to find something to keep my attention..I stumbled on a guy on UA-cam who had a small generator he was going to try and get going. Mustie1 saved my sanity during this illness as I had a large number of great videos to watch which were interesting and a huge help to me both mentally and mechanically. So thanks a heap Mustie1, I subscribed on the first video I saw of yours, and haven't missed one since. Thank You for sharing your time, knowledge and humor with us all, my favourite UA-cam channel by far!
up since 4 watching increasingy boring vids, then Mustie came on and brightened my morning
Me too.
Yeah, i was going into mustie withdrawl.
Maybe it's time to dive into your parts hoard and build another one of your artistic motor bikes. Using only what you have would be a fun challenge.
My God, he is actualy going to bring this thing back from the grave, WOW!!! Just an amazing restoration all around. I love how he says, we dont want to mess with that, its a bit tricky and notorious for cuasing problems, click, next frame, you want to take a look, lets go in and fiddle tweek around a bit, BOOM, and thats why things get fixed, with a little love and care, them brakes are like new, and that paint job was a great surprise, just amazing!!!!
Note: It helps to have all the tools and spare parts hanging around and LOTS of experience and know how to go along with the elbow greese. Thanks for sharing with us and being an encouragment that just about anything can be fixed with some patience, love and a little elbow greese.
Teaches you that nothing should be thrown away cuz if it is Ole Mustie gonna bring it back to life for the next generation!!!
When I started working on things the internet was still really in its infancy. I learned how to trace wiring and figure out mechanical components. That knowledge is so much more valuable than having the ability to look specs up on the internet.
I had to fix the brakes on my Craftsman mower last year. I wish I'd had this before I took it all apart! (Actually wasn't too bad, but I couldn't believe the cost of new pads!)
I need to do mine this summer, I hope they are the same. But my biggest head ache is my carb. She died on my the day I put it away last year, and I just didn't have time to mess with it. Now I am just waiting for the ice to clear up around my shed doors so I can get in and start in on it. With all this down time right now would be nice to get at it.
My 20 year old Craftsman was not hard at all. In a pinch you can flip the pads. Mine were only about half worn.
20:40 what’s to say that what you Google is the correct answer?! The internet is a tool, a source for information. It doesn’t make it doctrine. I would prefer to learn from someone with practical knowledge who has done a procedure a hundred times! Keep doing your thing Mustie! YOUR thing is the whole reason most of us watch and follow! Thanks for what you do. 🤙🏽
Las máquinas antiguas siempre fueron prácticas.No como ahora !! todo electrónico!! Y al mínimo problema (kaput)No las abandone siempre hubo emergencias.
👌👍☺️🇪🇸
Please keep on doing the electrical troubleshooting the way you have been doing it. I've learned quite a bit from you over the past few years watching your videos and it has helped me immensely with troubleshooting electrical issues on old motorcycles I've worked on. Always look forward to your videos!
I like that , you trying to solve the switch issues. Figuring out what does what just by investigating. Thank you for making a great video. That’s the way we always did troubleshooting prior to computers . Keep your videos coming !
Thanks, Mustie, for showing how to go through the brakes on these. I've got a riding mower where the brake disc is rusted to the splined shaft, and now I know how I might remove it. Now I just need to get that bit for my air hammer...
Just recently subbed after watching the SL125 videos , I had one of those , must say these videos are great to watch , greetings from the U.K
Wow Mustie1, that really runs nice. Thanks for all the education on the switch and the steel in aluminum tips. Thanks for having us along and all the best to you and your family.
I could watch you work all day.
83 minutes of Mustie? Should I watch now or ration it out during the week?!?!? Decisions...
I went for the ration it, but darn it was not long enough to ration it. LOL
Watch now, then watch again later, that's my prescription.
First, keep up the awesome content, I hope you are doing well
Great video. I can’t say enough of how I appreciate your tenacity to the tedious job of diagnosing you go though to get things to work again. It’s great to see such a thorough video of a complete renewing of a lawnmower from front to back even to getting the beads on a tire to lock. A major thumbs up. 👍👍👍
You've inspired me over the last couple years to start saving some of the small engine equipment around my non-rustbelt area too. Just saved a free Deere last week and it's now my neighbor's mower and going strong. And those brakes indeed are a PITA! LoL
You need the professional voice actor "PREVIOUSLY ON MUSTIE1 " (cue theme song)
Mustie, don’t take this the wrong way, but anytime I need to take a nap, I watch one of your vids. You have a soothing voice. Btw, I’ll always watch your vids again end to end when I’m more awake. So, with me, you always get at least two views.
It is relaxing to the point it put me out at 3:55pm.
I don't know about using oil to seal a tire but grease works great.
She purrs like a kitten Mustie1! Nice job! Thanks for sharing!
i have been watching your videos for awhile now, years. i absolutely love the fix it on the cheap mentality. its not that you can't buy new parts its that honestly it can be fun trying to save or fix old parts and pieces to make them work again. its always satisfying to see a mustie1 video, but its really satisfying to make stuff work again at home. your channel has helped me to understand the history into carbs that i previously was not knowledgeable in. keep up the amazing videos you are an entertaining, knowledgeable individual.
I confess I pressed the like button while the ad was playing. Was this OK.
I’ve got two old John Deere tractors out back, one identical to this one that’s only been sitting for five years. Deck is ruined but the engine and trans *should* still be good (it was when parked lol) and I think I’m going to work on it some
Musti what great entertainment you provide. Thank you from here in the UK.
Just wanted to say that, thanks to your videos, I got my $100 1985 Yamaha quad running today. I actually got it started a while ago, but couldn't get it to idle to save my life. I had it narrowed down to it being starved for fuel, and today I found a filter inside the gas tank that needed cleaning. It's still a little rough, so I'll be digging deeper, but it starts and idles, and I got to take it for a first ride around the yard, which was pretty awesome after thinking it was beyond my experience to get it running. Thanks, Mustie!
Don't we all hate the fact that there's no standardization of oil and air filters?
20:51 yeah if you look everything up you never truly learn how things work and then you're screwed when there's no manual to use, Mustie's way of learning is way better
Agreed
Thats exactly right Jason Trouble shooting skills are important not everything has a youtube video explaining it
Jason Stewart I've been learning that way my whole life. Back way before internet and when I couldn't find the price of a manual.
I'm with you all the way. I know how to read. I watch because I want to know why and how. Keep safe Mustie and thank you for the knowledge.
I look up to save time. I've had to do more than enough reverse engineering.
I just want you to know how much I appreciate these videos especially during these turbulent times. I love watching you work and the methods you use to solve mechanical problems. I used to have a VW Rabbit that I did tuneup work on, plugs, points, timing... But never got into anything more ... I did diagnose a fuel pump issue correctly broken down on the side of the road, but nothing I could do about it. Keep the videos coming it is keeping me sane!!!!!
Don't worry about what ather people have to said! I think you are more of true mechanics then the ones that have go to a book ! You are the #1 mechanic !
16:00 "probably some other safety switch" Ya probably. I have mixed feelings about John Deeres. They're awesome mowers, do a good job, but they're kind of a pita to mow with. So many safety switches. I mow one yard thats fairly hilly. If you go to lean over on the seat to get more traction on one side to make it up a hill you get too far off the seat and it wants to shut off. Since the frame is so stiff and doesn't flex it doesn't take very much of an angle to get off center either. Take to long and it'll disengane the mower deck also. Try and back up around a tree or flower bed.. got to push some button or pull the pto switch Up so it doesn't disengage the mower. Really makes me appreciate my old Craftsman LT1000. Push a lever up to engage the mower, I can get off the tractor with it running, and it doesn't care if i'm going forward or reverse. Ya i just find all the safety switches annoying.
It's not John Deere requiring the safety switches.
No, its the people that don't have any common sense and do stupid things that force manufacturers to Have to put things like that in after they sue the manufacturer for not having something to stop them from being stupid.. but Its only john deeres that have the most though from my somewhat limited experience. They're the only ones i've used with the reverse kill switches. Ya my craftsman is old, but my grandparents had a newer Toro mower with none of those safety switches. I just bypass the seat and reverse switches on my personal mowers. Makes leaning over to pick up a dog toy, or kick a rock out of the way SO much easier. SHHH.. don't tell the safety police lol
Rest assured, if i do something stupid, fall off and get ran over or something, I realize its my own fault for leaning over to far and i' not going to sue the manufacturer for my stupidity.
@@keithyinger3326 ...Settle! If there is one thing I am positive of it is that John Deere (or any other manufacturer) would never put more safety switches on the equipment than were required by the feds. The bean counters would never allow it!
Very simple to bypass each & every one. First thing I do to each piece of lawn equipment once it comes home. A big middle finger to the CPSC & the draconian politicians that push for that shit. It's called natural selection! Let Mr. Darwin have his way.
@@acemobile9806 Whatever...darwin!
Whoa there Mustie, now that's a knife! Have you been binge watching Crocodile Dundee movies or what?
All set for corona virus and zombies
I think it's to fight off any virus?
If I was in America,instead of the UK,it would be more than a knife. You would be arrested here.
Steve Perry never give up hope that UK will return to sanity...
Maybe he's played knifey-spooney before?
Another great video! Thanks for entertaining us for a little bit. Especially in these troubling times. Just gets your mind off things for a while. I really enjoy these lengthy videos. Today I learned that patience is a virtue. Watching you disassemble that braking system. Please stay safe and keep these awesome videos coming.
I just enjoy the way you go about solving a problem with patience and logic.
Patience, is the key. The ability to be that is rare.
Good morning Mustie1!
the google the wiring comments come from people that think they can do electrics because they can read "connect the red wire to terminal A" without ever getting a basic understanding of why.
No, that’s because a schematic makes life so much easier.....assuming you can read a schematic of course.....
I am glad you are the trouble shooter method guy. Many cannot think on their feet because everything on Google hands them the answer. But for efficiency Google does help, for learning, your mind and basic fault isolation trouble shooting. Did it for over 40 years, still do! Great video Mustie1!
Thanks for a nice long video to leave the days problems behind for awhile...
20:22 - Being able to troubleshoot/figure stuff out will help you understand the problem even if some tinkerer was there before you. Wiring Diagrams will only tell you how it was supposed to be from the factory. Old stuff gets adapted over the years and a good mechanic needs to be able to understand that and work around it.
I get why snap rings are called snap rings because they like to snap in half part of it hits you in the face and the other half goes flying into the abyss never to be found again
That abyss is world wide...... plenty of important grub screws of mine live there...
I hate snap rings.
Thanks for your goal of explaining your methods so that we laymen can follow along. Keep up the good work! Stay safe and healthy.
Another excellent video. Thanks for showing us all the how to do's . One remembers more usually by seeing it happen. When they actually do it they remember even better. Great job of helping many people. Thanks for sharing.
The other reason it’s important to know how to troubleshoot without the diagram is because they are often wrong. Small changes in production runs, modifications by owners and discolored wires can really throw you for a loop.
Methylated spirits is really good at absorbing moisture out of a fuel tank.
So is a $1 bottle of isopropyl alcohol.
Shoving a corn belt politician through the tank filler neck helps too. Well, it doesnt remove the water, but it feels so satisfying...
We Like How you take your time to evaluate each situation, How can you learn if you look it up? Keep doing each project,one piece at a time.We would like to learn,how you enjoy taking apart and fixing your project.Thank You Mustie sir.Too many arm chair know so much.CHEERS. Keep up the good work.
IMO the best information that this channel provides is how to troubleshoot ANYTHING with basic tools and knowledge. Google is literally life changing in a lot of ways with information but it should not be used as a crutch. Schematics and wiring diagrams can only do so much. The reality of "if this is doing this thing, then that is supposed to be doing that thing" can't be replaced by diagrams. Keep doing things as you are.
THE VW ENGINES CAUGHT ME AND NOW THE LESTS SAVE IT HAS REELED ME IN...ENJOY LIFE ALL..BE WELL....
Not sure you noticed, but when you fired the PTO, you sputtered fluid on the lift. You can see it @ 42:46 time mark.
Shhh, If you don't look it doesn't cost money. If you haven't noticed, that's the reoccurring theme. Not "Do it right" it's "Do it cheap for the best $$ profit on resale". The next owner can buy a fuel pump, pulleys and bearings and seals.
Awesome videos!Ive always enjoyed small engine mechanic work having worked on mowers,snowblowers ,lawntractors,Its great fun working on this stuff.
I have always enjoyed Mustie's videos,the way he talks to us makes us feel like we are in the shop right next to him, on more than one occasion i have caught myself talking to the screen or trying to grab at something when he needs help. He litterally feels like a friend/neighbor, or family, that is why his channel is the best on UA-cam, others try to copy him but there is only one Mustie.
I literally just got one of these... for free... will it start.... lol damnit man you beat me to it. 🤟 started up nice
Yay for daylight savings. 11pm in New Zealand (not the usual 1am!)
Any relation to Carol in Rotorua?
Another great day in class at tuition-free Mustie University! Thanks for the great lesson(s)!
In all the time I have spent with you, you have never given us a lunch break. I have lost 30lbs assisting you in these repairs.
Keep bring stuff in and I will soon be ready for a modeling career. Enjoying my time with you.
Rambo called he wants his knife back. ;)
Why the big knife mustie? Unfriendly neighborhood? Alot of those old tractors or the cheap ones have sealed bearings on blade quills. The grease fittings don't actually grease them.
The knife is good way of bartering;D
Probably to keep away those less adult fans who would just show up at his shop uninvited...I remember he said someone did that at his house a while back.
