Man, I could never work on a machine that dirty! I pretty much wash every machine that I work on before I start. Makes the entire experience a lot better and more efficient because I can actually see all the details and possible issues beforehand. Because I do most of my cleaning outside that also helps to keep my shop a lot cleaner.
T-Bone....thank you. Thank you for being a guide for those who know not. I recently found an interest in small motors within this past year for some odd reason and now my youtube is full of riding lawn mower videos. I've acquired 3 mowers this year and with your help have gotten all 3 working perfectly. I just cut the grass with one I just fixed up and it was a very simple DIY. The guy I bought it from gave up on it but with your help I'm hoping to give it a few years more. Thank you sir and keep up the good work!
T-Bone great video. Great detail and looks like you can do it with your eyes closed. But those of us in need of some guidance, you're a great teacher! Keep them coming, truly appreciate it.
Cleaning is a relative concept. The cleaner it is the more you will see the problem areas and who wants that. Great job getting this machine up and running. Looks like a good machine but running and mowing will tell the tale. Thanks for the videos.
Nice job T-Bone, I'm amazed as how rough the mower looked that it actually started even after the spring repair. Someone must've actually turned off and drained the fuel after it went to sitting up. Tell Mrs T-Bone we said hey please sir. 🙂👍
Thanks for another geat video. I haven't seen any new videos posted for a while and was wondering if you were ok. Glad to hear from you again. One of my favorite channels for lawn mower repair. Please keep the videos coming.
Mr.Tee Bone I believe in what you say and how you do your work also the part you use. Sir I have a snapper pro zero turn with a Kawasaki motor the best I can describe it to you is the key switch throttle, choke blade on,off,is on a panel under my knees. Ok mower starts run's blades engage sounds good but won't move or turn one "
I am going to bypass the automatic choke on my 42" Troybilt Pony riding lawnmower. I prefer a manual choke. I have read/heard conflicting arguments .... with full choke, is it better to cold start the lawnmower engine with medium rpm's or full throttle like you have to do to set the automatic choke? What is your opinion?
@@RaleysSmallEngines Fair enough. We'll turn down work if its nasty dirty. If they dont want to have it reasonably clean before bringing it in, we'll do it at regular shop rates. We have plenty of steady work. The few customers we lose is no problem.
That’s another example of someone who owned a decent riding mower who knew nothing about how to take care or machinery. These riders need to be stored in an enclosed garage or shop setting with some kind of concrete floor. A barn with a dirt floor is almost as bad as just sitting outside. I know in my semi-rural area here in NE TX, I see so many riders stored outside sitting on the sides or in the back yard of houses and a lot of those mowers with no cover on them. People wonder why their $2k rider or even $350 push mower, stops working after 2-3 seasons. The non-mechanical minded don’t understand these small engines are not weather exempt and rain, snow, and ice reek havoc on these mowers.
Hey, T-bone got you one dirty pig there. I hate working on dirty machines and such. I try to look for the obvious before repairs. Then some light, necessary cleaning. That's just me, I guess.
Yes it was. Exactly, a visual inspection is always step one. Wish I had time to clean them up. We are repairing 5 or 6 machines per day, about 80 pieces of equipment per month. It's just me and my lovely wife running this shop, no employees.
I would not begin to work on something that filthy without first using a power washer on it. Whenever you loosen or touch some part and dirt falls everywhere, it usually lands where it could cause a problem.. And usually there is enough debris under the flywheel cover to restrict adequate cooling. which often causes a valve guide to "walk" resulting in a bent push rod..
Wanna ruin your equipment? Park it outside preferably in a puddle. If you really want it to last more than 9 years, garage it. Or at least under a tarp or two and in a lean-to. I had so many different critters living in my new machine, I put mothballs on top of the battery. We'll see if they return.
I have one just like that ❤i keep it maintained!😊
Keep up the good work i am learning a lot from you. U r my hero. 😊
Good job! You always figure stuff out.
Get in the seat T-Bone! man up! I watched this 5 days ago and forgot to comment. Great demonstration brother, toooooooooo easy

🙌
Nice job T-Bone, I'm amazed as how rough the mower looked that it actually started even after the spring repair.
Someone must've actually turned off and drained the fuel after it went to sitting up.
Tell Mrs T-Bone we said hey please sir. 🙂👍
Thank you. Will do my friend.
Thank ya sir

🤣 heck yeah. Too funny.
👍👍👍Thank you
You're welcome, thanks for watching
Good job, T-Bone a bit spit and polish it will look great 👍
Thank you, yes it would.

You need a 24v flex impact driver. Save your hands the trouble
At-a-Boy T-Bone go get-em 🐓👍🏻
Heck yeah brother
Hey T-Bone, The Intake valve isn't opening when I crank the JD 19.5ci B&S. Broken CAM?
I am going to bypass the automatic choke on my 42" Troybilt Pony riding lawnmower. I prefer a manual choke.

They must mow dirt instead of grass! Wow that poor tractor is dirty.
Who ever owned this poor tractor beat the hell out of it..
Yes, it's pretty rough
Why didn't you clean the outside of the carburetor first?
A good cleaning before you worked on it would have made it so much easier. All that dirt getting into the carb.
That thing's nasty !
At my shop, first job on that machine is wash it off !
Yes it is. We do not wash equipment. We are a one man show and repair approximately 80 pieces per month. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
@@RaleysSmallEngines
Fair enough.
We'll turn down work if its nasty dirty.
If they dont want to have it reasonably clean before bringing it in, we'll do it at regular shop rates.
We have plenty of steady work. The few customers we lose is no problem.
I would not touch it but to raise hood and pressure wash it for a hour or two
@@philliphall5198 wish I had time. It would look brand new.
I always end up pushing debris off into something that don't need debris.
first thing i would clean that thing up its nasty
Yep, it's nasty.
I watched this just for the hell of it. Never know when this knowledge will come in handy!! THANK YOU!!!
Awesome, yes I'm still learning everyday. Thanks so much for watching.
Really.........tosses air filter hahaha
LOL

I have a craftsman 13hp 42 inch cut. It's a 2014, it runs then surges and I've adjusted the carb with no luck. I've ordered a carb. Any pointers 😊
Why in the world did you not blow it off before you start working on a carburetor

No critters yet. I believe that the armadillo moved under the house. 😅
That is a nasty looking mower 😔
Yes it is.
@@RaleysSmallEngines well at least you got it running again there young man 👍😎
Shouldn't you be fishing?
I wish. Lol
Bath. Please wash me
