"Alright. That ain't going anywhere." I knew that was coming before he said it!! LOL!! As a man, It's a requirement; You *HAVE* to say that after you've strapped something down on your truck or trailer!
One thing I've learned about you is "where there is a will, there is a way." You are a born critical thinker. You are not afraid of hard work or a challenge. All admirable qualities in my book.
@@Boomhauer333 I don't think so. I'm 68 y.o. I just love his energy. I look forward to his videos where he uses his brain. And of course those with Levi and Cody.
Talking to the blades "These just bend so easy, the metal isn't thick enough" Acts as if he didn't rip the thing off his jetski trailer with a skidsteer like lol
I heard my father laughing in the other room couldn't figure out what was going on so I went in to look and he was watching your video and it was at the part where you unloaded the mower, he loved it! Have a great Fourth of July
I was like nah he knows thats gonna flip right and then it flipped poor mower thrown out abandoned and now its had a wwe smack down getting off the trailer
My almost 3 year old son loves watching your vids. Loves seeing all the broken down trucks and you bringing them back to life and then showing us what it can do. Keep up the good work👍
Levi in that pond be like "go cody its ur time, i had my time in the past" Feel sad levi is getting old day by day... Thank u Andrew for this precious video...
@@neonhomer I hope SO much that his day is still far away! And this is one of the big reasons why i dont have a dog even if i whould love to have one. I just cant stand the thought that a lovely companion that i know from puppy paws on and that became a family member for me needs to go some day.
@@JackMacLupus The bad times are important because without them you wouldn't appreciate the good times. Everything has its day sometime or other, just cherish the time you have with them. Go get a nice dog.
@@Ben-fk9ey Well, i surely whould. But there are the other big reasons: First, i absolutely cant afford to care properly for a dog. I only have a small 1 room apartment and thats barely enough for me alone. And second: I whould be probably a horrible dog owner because i'm INCREDIBLE weak to cuteness and puppy eyes and whould forgive anything with a "Aww, youre just so cute i cant be mad at you..." even when the dog just turned my whole living room upside down and thats not good because you need a certain strength to raise a dog just like a child and teach him/her good and bad. And thats something i just cant even if i try. So i better dont have a dog, its just the best for the dog. There are just too many dogs at the shelters where the previous owners overestimated their skills or weren't able to manage/train the dog like they should. And i surely dont want to "produce" another homeless dog.
A friend of mine was driving through the 'rich' side of town and saw a used lawn mower tractor in the trash out front. Took it home. All that was wrong was a dirty air filter. Replaced that and it ran like a charm. so, sometimes folks just do not even try to fix things - just toss. Good to see these type of fixit videos.
Haven't heard from you in a while and started to worry. Glad everything is alright. I'm a paralyzed vet stuck in bed all day so I live vicariously through your videos and cannot Thank You enough for them. God Bless.
That mouse wasn't shy, it was holding on for dear life. He was loaded on a trailer, hauled away, flipped, dropped, power washed, and then his house was destroyed. I think I would have been nervous about coming out to.
I was today years old when I learned you can clean a gas tank like that! I actually got a free Craftsman riding mower the same way. Saw it by the road, stopped to talk to the homeowner to confirm it was free. Opened the hood, saw it had a 14 hp Kohler! Took it home, put on a new battery, front tire, and did an oil change. Put some gas in it and it fired right up. Ran perfect. Used it one summer, then sold it for $400!
Andrew, I think you're great, a little primitive at times but overall you get the work down in jig time and your work ethic is outstanding. Love to watch you solve problems and the result speaks for itself. Keep up the videos, I personally like the everyone of them. Thanks.
I used to be a lawn mowing contractor. Brings back memories fixing a mower similar to this after hitting rocks.My experience was with my stihl 4 mix line trimmer was to get rid of the guard and have just one string on the head and put a bolt through the other hole for a counterweight. Interesting channel!
Dude if I’d dropped that mower it would’ve been unusable 😂 You did it, rubbed the thing a couple times and slapped it on the ass and it’s like a new mower. ❤😂I started my channel because of you Andrew. Plus I lost a finger to cancer so that inspired me too. Thanks man.
I remember... this was the video that made me subscribe to your channel. The dog... the humor and the skill.... I knew I had to see more... and you only got better each video.
18:54 I just love the way his voice is so much sweeter and gentler to old man Levi than brash young Cody. I am sure Andrew treats his parents and grandparents with super love and respect, something all of us learn too late in life. ✊🏻
I got a free 1972 Snapper rider mower given to me once. Had good spark, no compression, took head cover off, valve seat had became loose, fell out, just floating around in there. Went got a new valve seat at the now defunct small engine parts store. Cleaned area for install, used Loctite and peened the edges of valve seat and block casting, back together and ran like a champ.
From time to time I stumble upon these videos of "free" stuff! Never cease to amaze me, that on my neck of the woods. The only "free" thing I can get is headaches! LOL 😂 Nicely done!
I like the fact that hes a young man and has so many tools that he knows how to use. Hes a young man with hope and a future to be able to take something that was being thrown away and fix it to be use was amazing. Hes not a kid that was brought up with a spoon in his mouth. Amazing young man that every father would be proud of ... Bless his heart.....
I got a pop up asking me what I thought about one of your videos. What do they mean? Video quality, sound, content, presentation? I watch because I enjoy coming along when you work. I never had a formal apprenticeship for any of the things I worked at. I worked with people who knew what they were doing, watched, tried not to ask stupid questions while I learned the basics and the flow of it. So watching is how I've always learned. and while I don't plan on doing excavation or heavy equipment mechanics, I do enjoy absorbing processes. You do a good job "bringing us with you when you go do the next thing".
Said that once.... Boss thought it was funny after I told him I lost a brand new ladder because it came out of the bed of my truck and was run over by a dump truck.
He seemed to have trouble finding good lift points, that's why he flipped it. The straps were below the center of mass. The only problem with this video is it was too short.
I'm a little 62 year-old woman and I love your videos you are just the sweetest thing my Meijer young man that works hard may God always bless you sweetie not only that you do a great job at what you do you are definitely not a half ass-sir and that is what separates the men from the boys keep up the good work
Imagine you're chilling in your house while a guy power wash your outside walls, and suddenly somebody opens your door and you're in another country. must be trippy as fuck.
I learned a lot from your video about how to work on my riding mowers and not to give up on fixing what appears to be a hopeless project, but I especially loved your unloading which had me any others laughing and the mouse scene which could never be planned better. Great show!
Not sure if that'd fix the surging. $20 carbs sometimes surge, my understanding, and listening this Crafstman here, after "fixup," ... so some say that "the China carb screws won't even work" ... Nikki or Walbro carb ? BTW? Might make a diff? ; elsewise great vid. needs nailed down concrtete indication wether OEM carb kit = > or < value than the $20 knockoff ... couldn't hurt to spill the whole beans.
Good price on that mower! When you mentioned "the woman with the pond" I immediately knew which property that was going to be. I'm glad to see Cody and Levi both like the place too.
We have not seen Andrew doing much property maintenance lately, but I seem to remember that was a nice looking lady, and about the same age as Andrew. Say no more...
The blades on lawn movers are soft to protect something more expensive to break if you hit something hard not supposed to be cut. I remember this pond from an old video. Keep them coming, love your channel!
yes, its where him and a lady friend about sank that old row boat from loading that huge walk behind mower thing in the boat getting to the island !! LOL
the blades are for grass not rocks and branches and dirt hills .. plus it looked like the star on the shafts were shot also ,, power washing the engine did not help it nor did the roll over when he unloaded it that will flood a engine ,, the blades are not soft there hardened steel .. you can put a hunk of metal same size in a vice and bend it by hand you will have a hard time bending the blades by hand ,,
"A free mouse! There's yer problem, lady!" Wonderful to see Andrew clean the mower before the "Will it start". I get irked by other YTers who go out and try and start the dirtiest, most overgrown thing without any ground prep or cleaning. If you are going to work on it, spend a few minutes to make the working environment clean and safer" /rant off
Before I work on anything I put gloves on degrease everything with acid soap very potent the. Pressure wash it off then I proceed and begin to work on it sometimes o will try to see if it will run and then clean it but only on stuff that is pretty far gone
That mouse is a paid actor. After all the shacking, crashing, washing, it was still there and got out in front of the camera at the right angle at the right time. Unbelievable!
OMG did I LOL. The loading, trailer transport, the less than stellar unloading, the pressure wash and the mouse is still in there!!! Cute as hell poking his head out! Thats one tough mouse!
"A free mouse!" That made it worth the effort right there. It was quite an adventure from the get go especially for the mouse! That trailer seemed a little "inconsistent" for the load. But it worked. I liked how graciously you were able to unload the mower. "That's not going anywhere."
Andrew, my 3 year old probably wasn't your target audience, but he's watched this video literally 40+ times, and he quotes things you say in the video. Now he knows what a carburetor and tire slime is. Thanks bro.
I’ve been watching Mustie1 videos for 5 years and he finds mouse nests in literally everything he’s ever worked on, and he’s never gotten a mouse on camera like that.
Thinking about that mouse being in there when the tractor flipped upside down and gave the driveway the people's elbow made it 10x funnier. Tough little guy. He's probably living in some other tractor summer at the beach now.
Given Andrew's clear love of animals, if the mouse had any sense, it would have run into Andrew's arms, and would have had a great life. Kody and the Mouse would have accompanied Andrew on every job!
Your a jack of all trades which is good in your business but loved the way you loaded and unloaded the tractor when you got home. Never thought it would run after dropping it off of your trailer. Good job Andrew on getting it fixed. A little bit of time and money and you saved yourself $1200.00 dollars over a new one.
Had exact same nest in my Snapper this Spring! Had to replace coil - looks like yours survived. Love the ultrasonic cleaner - have to get one of those!
Im a 50yo MEngineer. My hobbies are also very inclined to technical categories and watching Andrew do what he loves doing I can sit, watch it and relate. That hack he did putting a towel inside a bottle and blow air would make dry faster is something new I just learn from this young gentleman.
