My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We see over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

At 3.06 you have a quick shot of a Poulan Pro. Same type I bought at Home Depot six years ago. It lasted less than 2 hours before the whole rear end assembly blew apart. Nobody on the 1-800 number that both Poulon and HD gives you will work on it. So we called HD, and the assistant store manager said to bring it back, which we did. As we were unloading it, the employee helping said "hey boss, why are we getting so many of these back?" We ended up paying 200 bucks more and got a Cub Cadet that was a bit bigger. I have two acres of lawn to mow. Other than spark plugs, air and fuel filters being replaced, absolutely nothing has gone wrong. What a great mower and I definitely think it is a real value for the money spent!!

Talk about stuff hiding in longish grass! Last year I found a missing coulter off my plow, with my brand new Country Clipper Z- turn mower. Cost me $300.+ to get that repaired. Kudos to the guy I bought it off, he picked up the mower, took it to his shop and had it back to me within the week.

@53rdcards Год назад

Happy Birthday, I took a small engine repair class in high school and it has been invaluable to me and my family for fixing things, your videos are also a big help. finding out about the differences in the various brans alone has been a big help. The differences in the mowers you showed today reminds me of the ones on the new john deere s series, the 100-130 have the new "quick change" oil filters that cost $70, for the cost of 2 oil changes you can get the s140 that has a bigger, thicker deck, and a traditional oil filter costing $10.

@MakeitZUPER Год назад

Happy birthday kiddo, lol. I'm very happy for your success. I wouldn't be surprised if it's because of your down to earth personality and blunt honesty as well as your willingness to share your experience filled knowledge. Thanks again for all you do.

I remember my wife getting pissed at me when I purchased a Badboy 8 years ago for $3800 it was a Badboy 48" MZ with the Kawasaki FR engine. 8 years lady mowing in east, TX it has never been in the shop yet for anything knock on wood. Just serviced it yesterday and replaced the blades. It has been a great mower so far, but this Badboy was hard to find with a Kawasaki I had to drive 2 hours to get mine. I will not touch any small engine unless it is a Kawasaki or Honda. I know what runs well and lasts a long time they cannot be beat.

For a long time, I bought Poulan and Craftsman and Troybilt stuff because I was pretty good at turning wrenches and I was always good at applying good ole manual labor...my chainsaw crapped the bed one day when I was cutting down a big oak and I just cut it down with a manual extension saw. That was a Friday and the following Wednesday hurricane Michael came through and that tree would have taken out the master bedroom. Decided it was time to quit playing and I started buying Husqvarna. Now, if whatever it is weedeater, mower, chainsaw doesn't start by the second pull, I check it out. Thanks for the tips, they really help. Oh, and I did that before I had to go through chemo, good ole manual labor isn't as easy as it once was.

Happy Birthday! After watching lots of your videos, I found myself a John Deere 245 built in 1994. I spent a couple weeks resurrecting it & am blown away at how well it was built. It will literally snap your neck I you hit the throttle too quickly! I accidentally forgot to attach one of the 4 points of the mowing deck and it complete unscrewed the new blade I installed. I assumed I the spindle would surely be broken. To my surprise, it was in good working order still. I simply bolted the blade back on (after checking to see it was not bent) and as I manually rotated the deck belt, both spindles rotated properly and the blades were still level to each other. I sincerely doubt the newer models currently available would be so forgiving. Long story short, armed with the knowledge you share, I was able to restore a quality mower to great usable condition again. Thanks & God Bless!!!

I bought a Troy Bilt Pony from Lowe's in 2008 and still going string only replaced singles once about 3 tears ago. Rebuilt carb once because jet stuck open anx fuel went crankcase. (Intalled fuel shutoff after that)! Wish I could send pictures of it, it still looks brand new. I wash and wax my mower every year and my own maintence. People have laughed because I wash/wax it till they see how old it is. I tell them I treat my mower just like you treat a woman. Treat her right and she take care of YOU! ;) Need to send a picture of it.

@sheldonbailey3 4 месяца назад

As a teacher, this is a very instructive channel with high information density, which I frequently share with students. Additionally, it helped me fix my more modern non-flathead Briggs pushmower carburetor with the $15 part. Your knack for explaining small engine equipment more clearly than most channels makes me say, Thanks!

@mikewerner3797 Год назад

Actually on the spindles that have sealed bearings, all you need to do is pry off the bearing cover rings(cap) that face toward the grease zerk. Then the grease will eventually get to the bearings.

@lyndonwhitfield1151 Год назад

myself, carroni mowers are the same way. They will gladly sell you the extension hose to make it easier to grease your shaft ;-)

Happy Birthday! By the way, I'm mechanically inclined. I've fixed probably more than 95% of problems I've had with equipment. The only time I sent something out was when I didn't have the equipment to do the job or a pit to change 25# of hydraulic fluid. I loved working on stuff and learning how it worked. I do want to say, I continue to learn things from you! Thank you!

@KenJohnsonUSA Год назад

Happy Birthday! I love your channel! So, here in Florida (and much of the South), fishing is a way of life. Outboards are crazy expensive and can take months to get repaired. Lately, a lot of guys have been converting to "gator tail" or "swamp motor" designs where they hook a Harbor Freight lawnmower engine to a long tail kit so they have a 100% air cooled outboard. The idea is the engines are so cheap that it is worth replacing the engine out every 4-6 years rather than paying a marine mechanic to fix a 20+ year used outboard. Kits vary. Some high end kits allow you to even spin the motor all the way around for full-powered reverse. Would you consider doing a "project build" where you build a boat engine from one of these kits and tell us all the pitfalls you see from a small engine mechanic's point of view? You could then sell it to recover the money.

I have a Craftsman T130 that I bought around two years ago. It has been extremely reliable with only a battery change so far. The ONE problem I've had since the very first time I used it is the steering is really loose. Since there are no longer any repair shops except for one that are not brand specific since Hurricane Michael tried to wipe us off the face of the earth, I can't get it fixed so I just use it as it is. I can tell you I do get a workout! Those that can remember back when the older cars had problems with worn steering boxes will understand what my T130 is like. The one really good thing about my T130 is that it is quite economical on gas.

Happy Birthday!!! Been buying from a local authorized Husqvarna, Toro, and Echo dealer for years. They have been so good to me when it comes to DYI service and fixes with information and guidance. Seeing that I was willing to tackle a problem they gave me advice instead of simply saying bring it in. Price difference between them and the big box stores was so miniscule if any. So thankful the local dealers.

@aaronthomas6155 9 месяцев назад

My local Husqvarna, Toro, Echo dealer charges an arm and a leg for everything and won't give out any information..... Cost me $35 for a head gasket for a B&S engine that I used to pay $5 a piece for back in the late 90's..... Asked them how much to fix the B&S engine for me, cuz I was feeling lazy and they quoted me $500 to remove and replace the valves and keepers and re-assemble the engine (I had already disassembled). All of 15 minutes worth of work.....$500. Then when I said no, they told me a new engine would cost upwards of $1500.....lol

Grew up in NW Pennsylvania where the sand and gravel grows nice softball size rocks and bigger. Although they are a local manufacture in NE Ohio, because all the manufacturing has been taxed out of the state of Pennsylvania, all MTD products are known as inexpensive good enough to get by for a short time disposable products, & that is putting it kindly.
