    I’ve got the same exact mower, it was sitting in my moms dads barn since the late 90’s I’m guessing. But I can’t even get it to make any kind of noise when I turn the key, I can move the flywheel by hand but it won’t start. I’ve changed the oil,gas, and spark plug and it still doesn’t do anything. I think my grandpa who passed before I was born was messing with the carburetor because it looks like it’s missing some things. But on the intake the same exact bolt broke on me too, it left the same amount showing to. But I’m not to sure what else to try on it to get it going

    Hey, you have a cool project to work on, and maybe something too for us to learn or get working tips. My next project is to 'rebuild' my Craftsman 42" deck. I'll replace all those pulleys, springs, clean and anti-seize the moving parts the engages the blades. And, I'll be wire wheeling the underside of the deck and doing many layers of primer and Rust-o-lium high gloss black like what you recommended. My Lawn Boy's deck was much rusted out, so I did a replacement on it, and yesterday I gave it a thorough rust preventative measure with many layers of rust-o-lium. I'm not a Pro, but I have viewed a lot of UA-cam videos like yours to learn different stuff, now that I'm retired with extra time on my hands. Working on my mowers, tractors, snow blowers, trimmers & etc. have become one of my hobbies. Thanks to video uploads like yours showing us old school gents the way with these machines! My wife yells out the back door, after the sun went down "You done playing out there?" HA!

    • @SmallEngineDIY
      @SmallEngineDIY  Рік тому +1

      I used Rust-Oleum I'm stainless steel color. It is a very close match, plus any touchup is easy now. Apply many coats and clear coat.

    They are such great tractors. You should check out the video on my channel of my 83 LT1036. I made it so that it goes 35mph with stock engine and peerless transmission. You can actually shift it like a car.

    My neighbor who was dying gave me my first one and I restored it. That was 5 years ago or so. I use that one all the time to cut my lawn. I found the second one a couple years back for $75. I bought it just for parts but everything works on it so it is still in working condition. I haven't decided what to do with it.

    • @SmallEngineDIY

      I would keep it for parts. You don't see too many of these out there any more.

      @@SmallEngineDIY One thing I noted is that one mower have as Tecumseh TVM-220 and the other has a Tecumseh VM-100. They are both 10HP and look identical but the bore is a little different. I am curious to know which engine yours has. Sears sold these mowers over a very wide range of years. I think your large decal says Sears but both of my say Craftsman. Unfortunately, the mower models numbers are not readable on either of mine due to fading/age so I am not 100% sure when they were made. The only other difference I have found on mine is the steering gear mechanism. One of mine is like yours but the other does not have the tilted gear. It lays flat against the bottom frame.

    Hey. I have this old Western, Garden Tractor. 11/36. Do you know it and who made it. Lars from Denmark.

    • @SmallEngineDIY

      Does it have a model number or product tag somewhere? Maybe at the rear under the seat?
