Recently was contacted by a local metal scrapper who was picking up this MTD riding mower. This riding mower is full of problems. Lets diagnose what is wrong and get it fully functional again.
if you have no feeler gauge- use a piece of a pop can- I have been working on lawn equipment for over 65 years
Great tip! Thank you very much.
Love the channel thanks for all the great lawnmower videos. I learned to work on mowers from my dad! He would really be impressed with what you do.
Thank you very much for the support. I enjoy working on all kinds of stuff but it seems like everyone really enjoys the riding mowers.
Very nice Alex! You took quite a chance buying that sight unseen, but it all worked out in the end. With what all you do to make sure every machine is functional and reliable, you should have a good reputation in your area. That being said you shouldn't have to discount much. You always make them look as good as they can and that means alot to prospective customers! Thanks for another great video my friend!! 👍📽🇺🇲
I try to help the local scrapper by throwing him some extra money for tractors. This one deff needed a lot of little stuff. Seems like most people in my area have had good stuff to say about repairs. I really hope things are going well your way brother.
Nice job. 400 is a really fair price.
If it had a bit less surface rust and bubbling I would have certainly asked about 5-550. Thank you for stopping by.
If I took apart, that carburetor like you did, it would never run again. I am definitely not mechanically inclined.
Hey Alex very good explanation of everything I love it keep up the good video..
Thank you. I’m trying to make the videos a little longer to explain and show repairs a little better. I greatly appreciate the support 😎😎
Mtd used to make a good rider. I'm using one& it's better than anything new
Absolutely. Quality on almost all brands has gone down the drain. Thanks for stopping by.
I didn’t know they had a fuse down there

Sounds like a drive pulley is screaming.
I think the camera was making it sounds much louder than it is. Don’t get me wrong it has a little noise on that idler pulley but I had dumped enough money into this cheap machine.
Definitely thumbs up nice tractor thank you for the video
Great video and definitely gave you a thumbs up for that one. That was a lot of work Scrapping With Grandpa what’s next?
Thank you. I was trying to help out the local kid that does scrap but this one wasn’t a quick fix. Hope you are doing well my friend.
Nice video, my friend
Fuel filters on backwards
@@robert953 yes I saw the previous owner had it on backwards. Thank you.
Alex, Looks like you have something to work with. How many scrappers do you have on the ready.?
Murray select mowers used to be black back in the day when they were sold at home Depot
I’ve had a few of the older Murray’s all black. I wonder if they thought red would sell better.
@@freedommowers420 that is a great question Murray also made a Murray ultra that was green
You would be a good auctioneer 😊
Usually people says I sound like mr rogers.
Nice basic mower. $400.00
For sure. Hoping to get 4-450 on it. Thank you for stopping by.
Great job but I am curious how are when it comes to transmissions on lawn tractors and zero turns? I'm also a subscriber to Kyle by the creek. I watched his latest episode today he did his first transmission job. He was great. I would like to see you do a transmission job in the future sometime. Thanks for great content.
hey hey hey ....good to see ya fella
Hey hey. I’m trying to get content out to everyone. The struggle is real. Thanks for the support 😎😎
Alex those red fuel shutoff valve you have to go by model number and serial number to order one
Great fix by the way.
Thank you. This one had a laundry list of repairs.
Where do you find bearings for the towers
Dude pull your pants up.
Honestly didn’t realize my boxers were hanging out. I’m sorry for upsetting you.
@@freedommowers420 didn't upset me I laughed and thought does he know his shorts are hanging. Love watching your channel.
Nice one, Alex! Pretty straightforward with no real surprises.
I noticed one corner of the mowing deck was pushed in quite a bit. Have you seen that before or was that deck damaged somehow, and doesn’t that affect how much grass hangs up inside sometimes?
Thank you. Just had a fair amount of things that needed some love. Yes for some reason these decks on here have that flat spot. Not really sure the reasoning but it is factory. You would think you want it to be as smooth as it can to flow easily.
You scored
profit isn't always what we would like it to be. i have one (end of season) that unfortunately turned out upside down, which happens sometimes. Someone will get a great deal
For sure. They all can’t be money makers, but I do enjoy turning a mower back into a solid machine for someone to use and last at least a few more years.
Loving this long for content. I can watch longer qt work. Thanks man
Glad I can help haha. I do like making the longer format videos. Easier for me to explain and show all the repairs these machines take.
Great video bud. i hope you made it through the storm ok
Thank you. Yes we did just fine during this storm. Keeping our eyes peeled for the rest of this season. Western NC is in really bad shape.
Excellent video…very informative
Thank you for the constant support 💪💪
Excited for the john deere project
I am too. I’ve got quite a few here that need revivals.
Waiting on pt 6 of the 0 to 2k mower
I might make another series doing something similar. I sold the last mower on the series for $1800. I think I ended up making around $2500 total on the mowers.
Whats the difference in the intek 20-24 hp motors? is it just like a govenor thing or carb changes to make different power levels?. Just curious. Love your videos.
Honestly not sure exactly but I’m guessing carb restriction. I wouldn’t think they changed block size or piston sizes but I could be wrong.
@@freedommowers420 I wonder if you could buy or get a carb spacer or throttle body that would give you different power levels... There's no way they changed anything costly in the maufacturing process of the motors block/major components. Maybe they were even governed to certain power levels to not challenge other higher priced models with the same motor.
@@joshmartinak4315 right. Could even be slightly larger intake tubes or even carb jet sizing being ever slightly bigger.
Looks like a winner 😊
Thank you. I turned out pretty decent considering it needed quite a bit of love.
