Mustie1 arent you on the wrong channel? just kidding hope you can find a good used engine for that TORO! That was one of Kohler's bad designs! you do good work and have a good week!
Hey Taryl if you have a guy that makes decals, you should sell decals in your store that say “Scrub Cadet,” “Tecumesh,” “Briggs and Scratton” and all your other brand names so we can have our machines labeled like proper grass rats!
Love the nostalgia, the paperwork is just as interesting as the machine itself! Hanging out with my new baby boy born on Thursday, and wondering what kind of stuff he’ll be looking at of mine when he is older. Besides the 69 Camaro.
Congratulations on the birth of your boy,I took my 16 year old daughter out yesterday,I let her drive my 67 Camaro RS,she was ripping through all four like she was born for it lol.
A couple years ago when my oldest Grandson was like 7-8 yrs old , I was going thru some boxes , He pulls out a 33-1/3 LP , 🤔 an says Dang POP's you guys sure had huge CD's.. there were a couple of old rotary style phones & a smaller push button one , he was staring at them a asked me how the rotary phone worked , An he thought the push button was lil a Cell Phone - same thing man Pop you had to carry this around , holding the receiver cord saying this isn't wireless 🤷♂️, there were a few other things he had questions about ,Love that boy
Amazing paperwork he kept. My dad was like that. Something that he didn't pass on to me. I learned the hard way to save essential paperwork on my equipment!
This channel has saved my ass more than a few times. There is literally no other source on the entire fucking internet with ANY information on vintage small engines. And here comes this guy with not only information, but experience knowledge like which way a gasket goes on a tecumseh diaphragm carb. My vintage go kart lives on!
Nice video I'm 70 years old it just seems like I remember using one of those on the farm or at my grandparents they do a heck of a good job but it seems like ever time there is a tool piece of equipment that works for unknown reason they stop make them can't wait to see this completed
I love seeing vintage lawn equipment brought back to life and as close to original as economically practical. How cool to have all the original paperwork intact too.
That Clinton brings back memories. When I was about 10 years old Dad had an old rototiller with a Clinton on it. I had the idea of using it to make a go-kart. The spark plug was missing, so the piston was stuck. With a lot of banging and wrenching I got the piston freed up, and Dad showed me how to lap the valves. We made gaskets out of a Tide box, and a gas tank out of a Hawaiian Punch Can. We got the engine running, but the crank shaft was bent, and the cardboard head gasket burned through after about 20 minutes. We never did build a go cart, but dad showed me how to rebuild an engine when I was 10 years old. One of my fond childhood memories.
Oh my God that brings back so many memories we have one in the backyard just like that in the 80s and it had the other motor on it then it became my first mini bike engine
Taryl I was in a high school small engines class and our teacher had us use manilla file folders for gaskets and I tell you what it worked!! We would oil up the surface that needed a gasket lay the file folder material on the oiled surface and transfer the surface onto the paper folder, then we would cut the holes out with scissors and use a hole punch for bolt holts to make the holes.
Really Cool! Mott is still around today as a product of the flailmaster Corp in Tennessee, the old Factory in Lagrange still exists too as a machining company
Can’t fault Taryl for his less than honest statement on the motor. We have a whole group of people in DC who get into office and make their fortunes by habitually lying to us. Now most of us know Taryl is completely honest, obviously the motor swap with Ronnie was satire for the video.
Now that's the way you do it. Keep paper work and informational files. Please tell us that you plan to restore to original condition and preserve it as a historical piece. Go Taryl.
You teach us so good, one day everyone will fix there own junk, and you will have a job mowing grass, instead of fixing mowers, lol, all in fun, love your videos! ✌ keep up the good work boys!!
My first job I ever had part of my duties was to cut the grass. This was in the mid 1980's. The tractor I had to use was a 1948 Avery, and the mower deck was equipped with these "hammer knives." I had to pull off about 500 and sharpen them at the beginning of the season and reinstall them, it took roughly two days. It was a beast of a tractor with about an 8' mower deck, it would cut anything! The Mott uses the same idea in a walk behind mower.
I love old stuff. Its oddly satisfying sometimes to do some detective work through paperwork from long ago. I recently found paperwork from 1984 of lawn/electric/plumbing work done to my Grandma's house (now my house, she passed in 2018). The older generation notoriously saved paperwork and had a better appreciation for everything it seems.
It's because we live in a disposable society so nobody saves paperwork cause if something breaks we just throw it out and get a new one. Back in the day you bought something and expected it to last a lifetime so that's why they kept the papers.
Back in 2000 we bought a house and had the seller toss in the mower and edger. Got those and the original paperwork. 1972 McLane mower and a 1974 Montgomery Ward edger which is a McLane painted white. Really good stuff. Come 2018 we're moving and won't need them anymore. No one wanted them. It was a beach to get the local gardener to take the edger and days for someone to grab it from the curb with a ''FREE'' sign on it.
Cool, it's a mini flail mower. Cant wait to see it all fixed up. My old ford flail mower has knives that are held on by shafts that slide through from the sides through a link of chain attached to the them.
I have a 5 foot Mott Mower attached to my International cub lowboy. I remember changing all those hundreds of hanging knives in the beginning of each summer.
This is a cool little flail mower from the past. Now I kinda want one. Would be so much more useful for cutting embankments and ditches than those rotary brush cutters. Someone needs to bring back walk behind flail mowers. Nice suite, btw.
It looks like a modern day Flail mower used for dethatching lawns. I know those machines (Flail) are expensive for what they do. Great video Mr. Mower Taryl Sir. This is worth watching on a rainy Mothers Day.
Great video buddy thanks for sharing we had a machine like that on the farm we used it to cut corn stalks in the fall it was 30f wide and ran off the pto but same concept
What makes it a good field mower is it doesn't waste power swirling cut grass around the deck where it eventually clogs up. Someone should probably bring these things back
I work at a feed mill and we have a old hammer to crack corn. It works the same way this lawnmower works. It has about 150 little blades and chops the whole corn into tiny bits.
Now I have seen a walk. Behind Mott flail mower-and it works WELL! The tractor drawn one are used in Greenville,NC to do the roadsides. They cut and GRIND up anything they go over! Just as your walk hand one does.
I used to run a Mott Hammer when I worked for the parks department in my area. It was a rear mounted, PTO powered unit that was around 5 or 6 feet across. The thing worked great, we used to clear big, weed infested fields with them..............
