The trend I notice and heartily approve of, is more Ms. Morgan in the videos. I wonder if she has ever been a model? She definitely has the smile and sparkle for the job. RK Tractors could do worse than feature her on their machines. It is clear she can really drive them. She may have less experience working the machines. Time and instruction would fill in anything she doesn't know. Your videos show how you both work as partners happily and well. I find that touching and delightful. My folks wasted their live fighting. Your partnership is a priceless gift you are passing on to folks, in your family and far outside it. Thank you all for more Morgan Magic. God bless and keep you all.

Mike, please don't put yourself down. You have a beautiful family and a wonderful outlook. Truth be told you didn't cut your leg when you were 20. You show a happiness that we all need, and for that I thank you.

That was the cleanest mower I’ve ever seen !!! I think my Bad Boy is 13 or 14 years old and it still runs perfect. A few years ago I had a bad spindle so I drilled it out for a grease zert then took the inter shields off the new bearings so they can get lubricated now. Those spindles cost over $200 each. Love your channel, found it while recovering from a neck surgery. I’ve worked in the logging and oil fields of Texas since the late ‘60’s I just want to Stihl power saws were just arriving, Huskies was new too. Great job !!!

@stevemartinez6757 5 лет назад

Very nice video once again. As far as Melissa driving slow, I usually do so as well just so I can look around and admire the beauty of the woods. A couple of weeks ago I had a similar problem in our camping trailer that we have out on our property. Blown fuse and didn't have any spares. I went ahead and purchased replacements for every fuse in there and made my own "kit". Small tip that I'll give you just from my experience. Fuses usually blow for a reason. I would probably try to figure out what caused that one to blow to save yourself a headache later. If I had to guess, it's probably a connector somewhere that is either corroded or wet. I would clean up electrical connections and treat with either WD-40 at the very least, or better yet a bit of dielectric grease. I think this is probably one of the overlooked things that we all do during equipment maintenance.

Safety switches control the ground to magnetos. No ground at magnetos it runs, and grounding them Shuts down the engine. The Carb has a electric needle jet that shuts fuel off and is controlled by battery +. Manufacturers of mowers often have the electrical diagrams on line and are found in the Parts catalog System. Whenever I had a no start issue I unplugged the magnetos to see if it would start OK. If it does it is a interlock ground problem. I used a polarity correct warning beeper to hook to the unplugged magnetos control wire ground and a jumper to battery +. Then I would wiggle test the harness on the chassis to see if It would stop beeping? This helps find loose and corroded terminals. Switches can be checked at that time too. When you get a (NO beep) from the test and found issue it should be good to go. This will eliminate excessive cranking and Choking the engine to trouble shoot chassis wiring. Also unplugging magnetos will get you to the barn. Plug them back in to shut off or ground the Magnetos to shut down. Y’all did good though suspecting and checking the Switches, fuses and fuel ⛽️. I am a Former IHC Truck Mechanic, also worked on Tractors 🚜 and Commercial Mowers with various Implements.

So many safety things on newer mowers. How did we live thru our childhood. The mower would keep running even if you walked away from it

@rustyshackelford9156 5 лет назад

John Holm new mowers just aren't as well built as the old ones. It's weird the old garden tractors like Bolens have small like 10hp engines but they still seem to have more pulling power than the new 20hp mowers. But the new ones cut grass better I will say that.

@charlieb1613 4 года назад

Badboy mowers does do service and repairs at one of their shop locations. If your mower is only 7 years old, you should have done regular service under your warranty. I have a Badboy and it’s a wonderful piece of equipment. Regular service keeps it running as good as the day it was bought. When you pay upwards of 7k for a mower it pays to keep up on regular service especially if your under warranty. Might be a bit expensive but not in comparison to blowing up the mowers engine.

I really didn't know what a Pickaroon was. Almost 40 yrs of cutting wood, I never used one or seen one. I just pick up the cut rounds, placed them on the log splitter or stood them up vertical to split with the maul. A Kool Tool tho, might have to tryout one.

Hey Mie a trick I used back when I was a mechanic for a local John Deere deal was to cut a short piece of wire and put terminal ends so I could plug into the safety switch to find which one was bad. It is small and easy to store on the mower or tractor. Both on my kids where in orchestra. Both played the violin. Was hoping to see some of the concert.

@StreetRocketJoe 5 лет назад

Amazing how Melissa managed to not hit anything with the side x side while with you...🤔 you should totally video a concert or maybe even a private sessions of Eva playing the violin. As a automotive tech ALWAYS check power, ground, and fuses before you do anything else in a situation where something just dies like that. I'm not trying to give you a hard time as you indicated you knew cutting wires wasn't the thing to do. Get yourself a set of solder seal butt connectors to fix that wiring. If installed properly it will be watertight(should still cover in either heat shrink or electrical tape) and vibration proof which for a mower is a must.
