I was probably around your son's age when I got my first two free riding mowers. They were both, late 70s early 80s, Craftsmans. Both had 11-HP Briggs & Stratton Engines, both were full of mice, but they were fun when I got them running. Basically, my dad just showed me the basics, but I did pretty much everything. Something you will never forget, the first thing you were able to drive and it was yours. Me, I never let my sister touch any of my tractor's. Before I got them, I had taken apart a few push mower engines, but nothing is more fun than a riding mower when you are a young kid.
Great video Louie. Getting the little man a wrenching young is always a good thing. My boy was under the hoods of rigs since he was 3 yrs old with me. By 9, I had to get him his own tool box, so he'd quit losing my tools. Lol Miss those days. Keep up the great content. Keep On Keeping On Brother!!!
I'm thinking this year he's going to get his own tool box. As far as loosing tools I probably have that one coming to me from when I was his age lol. Thank you for your comment.
