Customer Wanted It GONE! Can It Be Saved? 

no fun that way. Look at it from the viewpoint of engineers looking for a job. Monkeys talking dollars. CEO's required to work out the noose rope.

Yup Yup Yup Lol

😂

What name brand rpm meter do you use

Making Troybuilt Defunct

Like a Yazoo and some Hahn Eclipse that were belt driven, In addition to keeping the blade further from your feet it also protected the crankshaft from damage if you hit a rock or some other hard stationary object with the blade.

Oh they make it it's just in the commercial space and costs 3x as much as it should.

I was impressed how the engine speed hardly changed cutting those tall weeds.

That's because its mass produced junk .

lol, those 3-5 (fake) Horse Power engine with that particular design of carb were the worst.

@@Francois_Dupontnah, you were close but engines of that design with the PLASTIC carbs and the foam / sponge crap glued in the tank to prevent “sloshing” were the worst. Aside from mounting the carb on the tank and using a diaphragm type “pump” to draw fuel instead of having a separate carb with a float bowl filled by gravity, I don’t think the side valve Briggs engines are any worse or any better than most of the contemporary 4 stroke side valve competition. I actually like them more than the comparable Tecumseh engines but I prefer Wisconsin / Robin and Kohlers a little more than the Briggs. The Wisconsin’s were REALLY well put together for a small 3-5hp engine. That said my favorite small engines of that vintage are the Lawn-Boy / OMC “F” engine and the Robin 2 strokes you could get on Snapper commercial models. For me it’s hard to beat those 2 strokes on a ~5-ish horsepower walk behind mower. The Suzuki 2 strokes on the Toros are pretty good too but pricey to work on. I still run my favorite lawn-boy 8-10 hours per week cutting mine and my parents lawns and it’s a 1989 model that was in commercial service working 25+ hours per week until I bought it in 2008. Other than pulling the muffler and cleaning it and the exhaust ports out every winter before storing it it has never needed more than a spark plug every few years and one coil replacement. The great part is it never needs an oil change and I can run the same gas in all my small power equipment including the mower.

This was before MTD got their hands on it.

Stupid if you don’t use safety products that are available

I agree on DR equipment, it’s tuff and well made and I don’t mind paying them more money eather 😊

DR is part of Breaks and Scrap'em now.@@philliphall5198

They dr stuff has been around for awhile, they didn't invent them they just rebranded it lol.

@ronniewilliz153 and they were bought out a couple years ago

Mmm-hmmm.

I want some fried taters

@@terrywitt5543 Fried taters and onion = great meal ! I've ate a lot of 'em, still love 'em ! 👍😊

@@norman7179 I love them to I was referring to billy bob Thornton movie swing blade that was his line want me some fried taters

@@terrywitt5543 Haven't seen the movie but love the taters and onions. Thanks for your reply ! 👍😊

I still have a yazoo big wheel, havent used it in years,

...maybe you could retrofit an alternator/battery system when Dino juice is too costly? BTW: here in the ATL GA area we really had fueling stations with the vegetarian Dinosaur symbol: The company was known as S

...SINCLAIR---a well-known NORTH- WESTERN SCOTTISH CL

Yay! You can copy and paste a Google result! Congratulations!

I had a real old Dr mower,it had tall steel spoke wheels on the back And just rails on the front, it was the early brush mower

It is basic physics. You need large diameter wheels to go over ruts and fallen material easily. You need narrow wheels because they are light weight and do not bog down the engine.

Mowers To Dump

@frankbill9172 even at my shop,I get these real oddball machines, sure I get them going, then they just sit,no one wants them,have a whole bunch as we speak, have a whole fleet of STX 38 tractors also,after a while they become clutter

Mighty Tuff Decision

Made back in. The Day when this Engines were made to n last

It looks like a Yazoo mower that I have had for over 40 years only the controls are difference , the blade spinners when you cranks it up, a lever to put it in motion.
