    Wait....... You restored that mower like a musician making love their instrument while playing an opus they spent decades writing. AND now you're just mowing the lawn like it's any given Sunday morning!?!?! Bravo! Great video!

    Thank you so much for this one. 58 or 60 years ago, I road my 2 wheel bike to my grandparents and cut the lawn with a push mower then a power push and one day they bought a SEARS like what you rebuilt. I JUST RELIVED that time of my life - a great time it was as I cut then backed it into the enormous shed he built for his stuff and I kept the tractor. Thanks for what YOU gave me BACK! Regards!

    That's awesome and brings back so MANY memories. My father had an old riding mower that sat in the garage for years. When I was 12 (1975 ). I decided to discover how it worked and what was wrong with it. I completely disassembled it and because the original manual was still around, I was able to order the needed parts (clutch assy and bushings) even the foot pads and decals. I repainted It and returned It to like new condition. I believe it was a Huffy brand. It was also when I learned how to rebuild a 5 horse B/S engine and set me on journey to acquiring many Briggs and Stratton service tools. 130902 I remember was the model number for that same engine used on your rebuild.
    Thanks for your video . 😀👍👍

I am hoping he just didn't film it when he did or something. And getting every dimple from rust and cast out would be nice but very time consuming. For a machine that will see heavy use and grass will probably sit on it often after a mow I do think the restore was appropriate. I am not sure if I will ever have the time to do anything close to this level unless it is a small project.

I will tell you one thing you will never see, you will never see any mowers built today 75 years from now being restored like this, why, because everything that is made today is just junk. Look at how well built this mower is, the beefy ness of the material used, these things were made to last forever if properly taken care of. The junk that’s made today just makes me sick how we became a throwaway society. Guys like this that can fix things and make them work again are becoming very rare!

    Well done! Your video brought back memories of my high school shop class where I did something similar with an old ride-on mower I found in somebody's junk pile. It is such a joy to do things like this. Thanks for posting this!

    I wanted to see it run but then again I didn’t want to see it get dirty!!! Great job, very meticulous restoration.

    I’m most impressed that he added gas and oil without making a huge mess. Already has me beat right there.

    I always wanted one of these little bad boys. They look easy to store, maintain, and they get the job done. That turn radius is on point too mmm

    Terrific job! You should be proud of your work. May I offer a few suggestions:
    1) There should be some oil applied inside of the part of the recoil clutch that goes over the crankshaft. In fact, there's a small oil hole on the top of this part, and there's supposed to be a small piece of felt inside to maintain some oil between the clutch and crankshaft.
    2) I would have put more grease into the differential and transmission. What you did was probably fine, but more wouldn't have hurt.
    3) I would have put a thin film of grease on the mower housing arbor shaft and axle shafts before assembly. Doing this will slow (but not eliminate) the onset of rust between these shafts and bearings and make future disassembly easier.
    4) Always clean all rust and dirt off of the bottom end of the crankshaft before removing the lower part of the crankcase. In this engine, the crankshaft bearing surface is the same diameter as the external part of the crankshaft. Pulling the lower crankcase off without cleaning everything off of the crankshaft can score the lower crankcase bearing.
    5) I'll never understand why so many people use WD-40 as a penetrating oil, which it is NOT! There are far better products available for this application.
    Again, great job and great editing. I enjoyed watching you work.

    I'm always amazed at how you can get these rusted relics back in operation again. Finding the gaskets and small parts must be a bit of a tricky situation, however.

    A real pleasure to have watched. I've see many "restoration" videos that were nowhere near a true restoration but this was. I know from experience the amount of time, money, and thought that goes into a project like this so my hats off to you for not only doing it but making such a great video aswell. No BS unnecessary music or talking just simple and to the point. Did give me a bit of anxiety though when the mower was cranked up and began mowing that damp grass hahaha

    Another great restoration! I appreciate how you record all your projects, with their various frustrations. I’m sure it can be hard to do. I do restorations like these and it would be really hard for me to do that. Also nice hearing the birds.
