Very helpful! I bought a Locke Triplex and am restoring it. Got it running nicely. May have to do a little adjusting on the transmission. But my next job is to back lap so this is a huge help. What is the compound you’re using? Did you mix it up yourself? I bought some 80 and 120 grit commercial. I really like your electric motor setup!! Mine has the hand crank so it’ll be a fun project.
Yes alot of stuff especially universal or sometimes not universal will have instructions that made you scratch your head 😕 this zzm trimmer grip i got off amazon it works like it should but the bushings thay came with it made the handle slide which was a pain i had to cut an old breather hose off to take off the slack on it but some of the instructions didnt make sense also but nice work you and your son ryan making it work 👍
That is sweet boneyard! My brother had 2 of these back in the 70’s, 1 was identical to that he sold to my uncle then the other one he painted purple….it was the 70’s haha! Can’t wait to see more on it sir!
That is definitely a one off riding mower strange thing is that the discharge opening is on the left side so when you are cutting the grass it's throwing it forward but it is a great thing for you to get Bone yard
Those wheels are only to transport the mower you take them off when mowing. Most homeowners cut the axles off. You really don't need the transport wheels for anything they roll well on the metal drum.
I have the exact same mower currently just got running to sort of. My carburetor was the same as that one no needle valve so it must of came that way as mine does run just little rough as I looked for high and low screws to. The wheels on the outside should have a lock on the outside right on the main shaft there is a pin and a slide mechanism that you can pull down and straight and pull the wheel off.
If you look up “Kohler Oil 300 Hour Kit Podcast” (yes that’s a real video!) you’ll see around the 27 minute mark they have both filters cut open. Standard is paper, the 300 is deeper, glass media and more dirt holding capacity
Is there a specific type of grease to use? Company i work for uses red stuff, and i need to do my own tools and need to buy the grease but dont know where. 😊
1. The tractor clutch on these machines is a multiple disc type with a planetary reverse gear completely enclosed and running in an oil bath. LUBRICATION 2. The oil level should be checked at regular intervals by removing the oil level pipe plug # 1723 at the front side of the transmission case. The oil should be drained after the first 10 hours operation (drain plug is located at the hottom of the transmission), and refilled to overflow at the oil level plug #1723 with Type A transmission oil. Additional changes of oil should be made after each 100 hours of operation. 3. The transmission requires only 12 ounces of oil and is equipped with a breather #1372-1 located on the cover plate #1528-1. 4. IMPORTANT - If the transmission is always run with clean oil, it will outlast the rest of the machine. I hope this help’s and thanks for watching 👍🏻
Wow u really complicated the situation removing all that. I removed mine with only taking the belt out and starter screws taking it by the side behind vacuum fan up, take me 1 hr.
Yeah I don’t do it that way anymore. I found another way. That’s a little easier. Maybe I’ll try your way next. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching.
Nice video. There is a hex head inside the bottom of each hydro reservoir that you can loosen them with a 3/4” or 19mm socket and extension rather than using oil filter pliers. I like to clean the screen in the bottom very well with some degreaser or brake cleaner and thoroughly dry before reinstalling. To refill hydros I take the top plug off completely and fill through the reservoir hole until the fluid starts leaking out that top plug hole. Then put the top plug back in and just fill the oil in the reservoir hole about 1/8” above the black o ring gasket that the plastic reservoir seals against in the top of the hydro unit. Then when you reinstall the reservoir the last couple turns it forces the new clean oil up into the reservoir through the screen into the reservoir then you are sure there is no air. Then after you tighten the reservoir fully you just top it off to the cold line and put rubber and cap on. Also you didn’t mention the reservoir is LEFT hand thread. Reverse from the standard. Not that anything you did was wrong… just a little easier and quicker my way and you don’t have to wait for oil to go through screen.
My B/D is blk dry machine and in great shape and It is used regularly It works great for small engine valves on air cooled engines I will look at the specs and date since I have the owner manual and tag on it People just don’t take care of stuff
Do you know for sure that it is a pc or a motomower or lawnmaster. There is a tag affixed to the steering shelf near the steering wheel with a tag but it won’t tell much and the. Original motor will give you a better chance of knowing. Because it has the cast foot pedals and aluminum steering wheel it is an old model but it’s hard to date.
There’s no tags on it. I’m just going by the guy that I got it from and he wasn’t really sure it came in pieces but it’s a pretty cool machine. I have a 6HP Briggs & Stratton I’m going to put on it.
