Very nice and beautiful restoration job on that old electric lawn mower. It's really nice to see something old like that be restored. Sometimes that's better than buying something brand new.
@@Goodvibes-Adventures Oh gosh I never thought of changing the deck height on that thing. Looks like it meant unbolting all wheels and moving them all to another hole on each leg.
Ok, I have to admit that you got me on that one. When you started putting the nameplate on, finishing up the restore, the first thing I thought was “now it’s a “looking at” lawnmower.” Boy was I wrong! You went and cut the grass with it, which is the exact same thing I would’ve done as I restore things to put them to good use, just like you did. Well done!
That was one of the most amazing refurbishing projects I've ever seen. Nothing was missed. And your attention to detail made the difference. The only issue I saw was looks like the actual cutting blade(s) are below the deck. And therefore you really need to watch where you mow with that type setup. But other than that, pure amazing enjoyment to see such a transfer of an old rusty piece of mowing equipment brough back to better than new condition... Thumbs Up!
The diameter of the wheels determine the height of the blades. The blades are about midway of the wheels. Ignore the deck. Put on wheels with wider diameter, it will cut even higher.
@@kittyhawk7060 The actual motor shaft makes the cutting blade sit below the deck instead of up inside the deck. So that makes the blade capable of hitting things that the deck would stop it from doing. You could put any diameter wheels on this mower but the cutting blade would still be below the deck... Hope that explains it better.
My father built an electric mower back in 1953 when I was 7 years old. The house we lived in at the time didn't have a very good electrical service. Every time he hit a clump of thick grass the tube on our TV would go out and not come back on for about 30 seconds. Made it impossible to watch Superman.
Stories like that make me think of my grandparents old TV they had the Space Command remote that used sound frequencies, I quickly found out when I was a kid eating cereal from a porcelain bowl with a metal spoon that when you hit the bowl with the spoon just right you could change the channels 😂
Wow!! You did a TOTALLY AWESOME restoration on that mower, my friend!! I must admit, I started watching your video about 3 times before this, and each time I had to stop; to go away somewhere. As a result, I lost track of it, each time; but when I found it again a little while ago, I wasn't about to pass it by, & I'm sure glad that I didn't, because watching you "transform" this mower back to looking like new again, was totally enjoyable!! I look forward to more great videos of yours, just like this one! Highest Regards! Ron Abilene, TX. USA.
The thing that really amazed is that you were able to find tires for that thing. Funniest thing was that cord. Looks like the previous owner ran over it a time or two. Great work!
After the $200 is spent plus countless man-hours of restoring it. It breaks down after six months of hard use. Then your neighbor goes to Home Depot and buys the same thing for $80 and uses it for years.
You Sir have an amazing skill!!!! You absolutely brought new life to that rustec out electrical hazard. That mower looks incredible. If it were me after the demo id clean it back up and kinda make a show area for your restored mowers
@@billykulim5202don’t talk such shit. Mains powered mowers have been around for a very long time. Millions of people have managed perfectly fine with them before shitty battery powered ones.
This inspired me, got many leaves in the yard and if i set my old furnace fan on a hand truck , fasten it down , i got me a leaf blower. Great job on the mower .
Bringing a rusty old lawn mower back to life combines nostalgia with practical skill, making it appealing to anyone who enjoys seeing everyday tools restored to their original functionality. 24:24 This title suggests a hands-on, rewarding process that many viewers can relate to and appreciate, especially those who value the art of breathing new life into forgotten items. A great watch for anyone who loves a good before-and-after story!
My granddad had one like this. You flipped the handle to change directions without twisting the power cord. It had a disc with four small blades under the deck. That little mower would do a good job. I sure wish I had his. He died in 1962.
Looks really good. For practical use, I might add a flexible mast (spring loaded?) to the handle to hold the wire away from the blades when backing up.
It’s utterly fascinating to see how it’s put together and how you take it apart and refinish it! As a non-mechanical type person, I loved watching this video! I love seeing the old made usable again and wish I had a mower like this!
welldone for your steroration very good job my name is ermis i heard a lot of times this mower stailed or slow down on this grass a lot of times be carefull this mower is made for smaller grass cause when stailed or slow down a lot of times may cause the mower and motor an unknown problem after long time so again well done for this mower comes back to life you are very goood to fix things but for this mower be carefull in the tall grass
That machine was made when people had common sense to be careful with it ! Now we have dummy bars and all kinds of deflectors on mowers here in the US . I call it stupid proofing !
sensacional, como sempre! ficou ótimo! daria tudo pra ter um quintal com grama e um cortador de grama... é satisfatório demais ver a grama sendo cortada, imagina cortar! 👏😋👍
Not economically viable but a spectacular result. You enjoyed doing it and I enjoyed the journey, welll done. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.
Absolutely incredible! I thought it would go in a museum for the manufacturer? Great attention to detail! I was floored! This is obviously made for a non USA market based on that electrical plug? Great content! I found this in my YT feed. Glad I watched! I subscribed immediately! I was surprised that motor & capacitor still worked all these years later?
Wow... That is the Honey Badger of mowers. The way it just tore through that thick heavy grass in one shot without slowing. Epic rebuild.
Very nice and beautiful restoration job on that old electric lawn mower. It's really nice to see something old like that be restored. Sometimes that's better than buying something brand new.
Very impressed with the power that little mower has! Beautiful paint job!
This thing is awesome! Props for actually putting it to work!
My dad had one of this model. We had to watch the Power cable to not let it stay on the blade way. It brought me memories. Thank you
You can add a cord recoil that allows cord to recoil at the point it's plugged to...But I would have raised the deck to highest setting 😊
@@Goodvibes-Adventures Oh gosh I never thought of changing the deck height on that thing. Looks like it meant unbolting all wheels and moving them all to another hole on each leg.
I was thinking this the entire time! @@Goodvibes-Adventures

I agree, this young man is amazing. Great work restoring this old mower. It cuts real good, too.

Well that mower is definitely a Tennessee UT fan.
There is no way after all that work, could I bring myself to muck it up. I’d put that thing in my living room under glass as a showpiece!
Wow that was an amazing restoration! That mower came out like new and then you just give it the business. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Wow, that thing is a little lawn beast!
I love induction motors, they are a force to contend with.
That is so cool, first that folks used electric mowers so long ago, and second that you took time for such a gone restoration. Thanks! 😀

Best story ever.

I don't think I've ever seen a corded power mower before. That's honestly pretty neat!
They were all corded before small, lightweight batteries came around.
Very well done and impressive restoration!
Quality professional work
Its alittle beast!!! Awesome renovation. 👌
Wow!!
You did a TOTALLY AWESOME restoration on that mower, my friend!!

That would have been my FIRST upgrade! Some sort of cord recoil.
It's refreshing to watch a genuine restoration and one without the use of latex gloves, pliars, or tweezers, to pick every single part up. Thank you.
From rusty relic to lawn care hero! 🌿🔧 If only my grass could see this transformation-now it’s just jealous!

SWEET RESTORING ELECTRIC LAWN MOWER ! YOU ARE VERY SKILLED DUDE!!! I GIVE YOU 10 STARS ! VERY PROFESSIONAL JOB .
You Sir have an amazing skill!!!! You absolutely brought new life to that rustec out electrical hazard. That mower looks incredible. If it were me after the demo id clean it back up and kinda make a show area for your restored mowers
My dad had one of these back inn the 70s I can remember him expertly manuvering the cord.
From crusty to trusty, that thing belongs in a museum 🎉
should upgrade it to cordless, lawn mower with cable tangling are asking for trouble
@@billykulim5202 waas thinking the same thing
@@billykulim5202don’t talk such shit. Mains powered mowers have been around for a very long time. Millions of people have managed perfectly fine with them before shitty battery powered ones.
Restoring the mower is one thing. Getting the motor to work is a wow to me.
This inspired me, got many leaves in the yard and if i set my old furnace fan on a hand truck , fasten it down , i got me a leaf blower. Great job on the mower .
I had one of these in the early 70's it was a beast had it for twenty years.
I love videos like this. If I did this I would think a bright colored cord would make more sense. Great job none the less, that thing is a beast.
A restoration video and a lawn-cutting video in one. Cool!
Yay.... another lawn mower restoration video! I'm just enjoying watching the process!😁
You did a fantastic job ! Looking forward to more videos from you.
Unbelievable. Such an amazing restoration.

Dead Internet theory
@@ElectronicInspiration I dont understand
Total respect for these skills. The patience to get it to the finish line is outstanding.
I Remember the mowers that only cut when your arms were moving back and forth or you were walking.😁👍
Just in time too. That grass was getting tall!!! 👍
My granddad had one like this. You flipped the handle to change directions without twisting the power cord. It had a disc with four small blades under the deck. That little mower would do a good job. I sure wish I had his. He died in 1962.

First time I've seen a needle gun used in a restoration video. I LOVE IT! 5:02
Was going to say the same. Loved seeing the needle gun.
It’s utterly fascinating to see how it’s put together and how you take it apart and refinish it! As a non-mechanical type person, I loved watching this video!
I love seeing the old made usable again and wish I had a mower like this!
*BRAVO! Majestic restoration. :)*
Incredible restoration and even MORE incredible performance!!!!!
That thing slayed that grass! Great job!
Great restoration! Way to use it as intended!
Absolutely beautiful restoration.
Absolutely epic, loving the white and orange 👍
Great job. Liked watching.
you have a gold hands for restoration, well done 👏👏👏👏
Excelente restauración!! Me entretuve mucho viendo su trabajo amigo. Gracias!!
Little thing cuts pretty good. And now it looks good. 👍
very thorough, and meticulous..good job padna
Well 👍
That's one capable little thing.
Wow worked pretty well.
This is crazy... lucky stator was good! Breaks my heart to see it get dirty again!
Needle Scalers are one of the best tools ever created, in my opinion. I love those things.
I am impressed that it cuts such thick grass.
Awesome work! It looks like new again!
That electric motor looks like a beast! Absolutely incredible job of restoration!
Thanks for sharing!
Blessings to you and your family
Thank you very much, my friend!
I wish you the same!
Wow you clearly are a master of your craft, Best restoration I have seen so far. Hell of a job well done.
thanks
It looks brand new! You are good at what you do!😊
Земля очень плоский, удобный и без камней. Красивейший аппарат, в общем работать на удовольствие..!
Great job looks new again
what a lovely little mower! love the color you picked out works well for an electric one
That's the best restoration job I have ever seen
Bravoooo maestro fantastično uradjen posao.Veliki pozdrav od vjernog pratioca Mileta iz Bosne.

That's awesome!!
The hose clamp... and convoluted black tube cheapen the look though.
It's a beast for such a small machine
Excellent restoration, looks fantastic and it cuts the grass 👍👍
Ai sim!!! um canal BR de restauração!!! otimo trabalho.
Great Job
The mower might push easier in the other direction, just a thought.
Yes, it's even designed to do that.
That's awesome. Great work...
You made that better than when it was brand new
Absolutely brilliant sir you are a true artist 🫡🙏🏽💯💯👍🏽
🤝🙏
Sweet!!! The grass was only 3 1/2" when you started restoring it...lol
Judging by all the splices I'm guessing the power cord was run over more than once! Great job on the restoration.
Amazing. That mower is dangerous 😳
True! The blade rotates below the side guards.
That machine was made when people had common sense to be careful with it ! Now we have dummy bars and all kinds of deflectors on mowers here in the US . I call it stupid proofing !
Good job man that’s awesome 👏
Very interesting front end! Nice work 😊
I opened up UA-cam to play some background music and instead, I spent 30 minutes watching a lawnmower restoration. Well done!
Thank you very much friend!
Wow.. that old mower means business :D
Got to have one. Its like a vacumcleaner that cuts grass well😂
Great little mower👍👍👍
That little thing is a beast. Chews through that grass no problem. Watch that cord.
That was an restoration good job
As a landscaper who cuts grass everyday in North Carolina. That is one bad ass electric mower. That grass would bog down a gas push mower for sure.
Amazing job, it looks like new
Great video, enjoyed the whole thing. I am so happy you cut grass at the end, I was dying to see it in action!
thanks
sensacional, como sempre! ficou ótimo! daria tudo pra ter um quintal com grama e um cortador de grama... é satisfatório demais ver a grama sendo cortada, imagina cortar! 👏😋👍
That was awesome. Very satisfying
Outstanding job.
Not economically viable but a spectacular result. You enjoyed doing it and I enjoyed the journey, welll done. Thanks for sharing and best regards from Ireland.

Grazie
Electric lawn mowers are amazing and underated
Muito bom, parabéns pelo trabalho.
Excelente trabalho!❤
Very good video sir thanks. Just subscribed and hit the bell. Take care and stay safe. Tom.
Looks like that grass was last cut when the mower was brand new! LOL
GREAT.WORK.🤯🤯🤯💯💯💯
Now I can't use it, it's too beautiful!🤔😂, good job
Absolutely fantastic👍
