FREE Pull Behind Mower - Let's Get It Running 

I love Taryl’s comments about sand blasting the float bowl. Like he said, if that plating was so good, why did it rust anyway!

My favorite TarylDactyl quote: "Its not the Space Shuttle...Its a Lawn Mower!!" Epic. That L-head I/C engine series from Breaks & Scrap'em is one of the best models they ever made, IMHO.

I appreciate your 40+ years of knowledge that you share. Everyone is a genius behind a keyboard.

Taryl is the Mister Roger’s of lawn mower repair! The talking heat gun got me good! Damn near pissed myself laughing!

This is why this channel is here for Educational purposes to learn. Taryl has made a living doing this for years very resourceful and knowledgeable small engine mechanic. Grass rats fever

The plating does do something Tarryl , it makes the float bowl look nice . I always mow my grass with the float bowl off so that my neighbours can admire the shine on it . It makes them smile with pleasure.

It sounds like I will have to start a case file and investigate whether or not the person who called you a "Hack" is the same person who left the rubber cap on the B&S fuel pump.....LOL Great work Brother!

The coating in the bowl is important when the mower passes the outer stratosphere. Here at NASA, we coat all the carb bowls.

It must be those PHD grassrats that are calling you a hack for sandblasting protective coating LOL

No matter how crappy my day 3 minutes of a Tyrell fixes All video puts a smile back on my face

Taryl, you got a great deal on that trail mower and you did good getting it running. I build a trail mower from a Craftsman rider mower and parts from my boneyard. I pull it behind my compact tractor and can mower 116 inches. It works great and saves me time mowing the open areas. Thank you for doing this channel, Taryl.

Great video! Never lets us down. Btw I am an MST Briggs tech and here's more on the code date of all Briggs motors: fist two digits are the year of manufacture, the third and fourth digits are the month of manufacture, and of course the fifth and sixth digits are the day of the month of manufacture. The following digits designate the plant and assembly line. This code dating was established in 1965 by Briggs.

After being an electronics technician for 20+ years, I taught myself small engine mechanics and have been running my own shop for 10+ years. I enjoy watching your videos. Not only do I occasionally learn a little something something, but seeing you do some of the same little tricks that I do just validates that I do actually know what I'm doing! lol

Would've liked to see you use it with the offset pin installed so you could mow with both your rider and the tow mower. for those who don't know, they make the mower track to the left or right side of your rider so you can cut a huge swath in a single pass. If seen them ganged in ridiculous configurations, but one to the left and one to the right, plus the rider would get big areas cut quick, fast, and in a hurry. Very cool! Keep the great work!

My favorite parts of Taryl's videos is the response rants he gives the haters and naysayers! By far my favorite small engine channel!

Everything that Terrell works on runs when he gets done with it. I like that he shows people how to fix things without spending tons of money and buying unnecessary parts. These videos are informative to DIYers. I don’t know any DIYers that have the means to replate a float bowl. So even if he did replay the float bowl it wouldn’t be useful to any of us. Besides like he said that’s nonsense.

I have found no-one better on the interscreen for telling how to fix and why. Love your videos and the good info provided. Thank you Taryl.

I been working on small engines and motorcycles for many years,did my first engine at eight years old,iv don all kinds of things to these engines and never had a problem,Teryl is one of the best iv seen in this business,good job Teral

I was told by a friend who works for a LARGE maker of small engines, that the plating is only there for the time that the engines are in storage and transport before sales.

Taryl, don"t ever stop teaching with all your in-depth videos!Your so good at explaining everything!

I once sandblasted a float bowl , and then my mower fell into pieces right before my eyes , I scooped up the pieces in a few buckets and brought them to Lowes where I bought it and they said since I sandblasted the float bowl I deserved to have my mower collapse into a heap of pieces and parts and they shunned me from the store forever..

Nice Sunday evening 'chuckle time' with the man himself and we learned some stuff as a bonus. Thanks Taryl.

Wow, new versions of that Swisher are over $2,000. Pretty good deal! 👍👍

Good video Taryl. Those calling you a hack are just jealous that they didn't think of it. Wouldn't give their comments a second thought

There are 2 factors which were not discussed on the video. First: fuel bowls can be steel, aluminum, pot metal, brass or any other material which will hold gas. Second: The gas which contains ethanol entrains water. If the ethanol gas sits for a while the water drops out of solution. If you have a steel bowl it may rust. An aluminum bowl will corrode if the oxide skin is disturbed. A brass bowl might not be hurt by the water but acid will eat it away, Your observation of the B&S fuel pickup tube splitting has helped me on several rebuilds. I think the split is caused by metal fatigue from vibration. These kinds of tips can only come from someone with a great depth of understanding the ailments of small engines. Thank you. May I call you Dr. Taryl?

Sandblasting the float bowl? Oh the humanity!!!

He shows everything and has many options as to a problem. Loved the one that stumped him. The last resort was the piston rings. Bingo fixed on the "Brake and scrap em"

I'm waiting for the bowl blaster video game, skit series and merch! Dinner served...... In a bowl.

From start to finish, this episode is fricken hilarious!!!!! Thanks, Taryl !!!! We love you too!!

I had one of these Swisher pull behinds....dearly loved that thing for my pasture...

I am always impressed with your production quality. Love whatever camera you are using in the video. Keep up the great work!

You are so clever and resourceful! I like the seat extractor you made.

You and the boys have been doing this how many years?? I think you may know a little about mower do's and don'ts. Keep up the great work Taryl, we love you!! 👍🏼

Mr. Dactyl, thank you for the informative and practical DYI repair of the pull behind. In your video you mention disparaging comments directed to your application of treating an aluminum carb float bowl with sandblasting. Basic bombarding a surface with high velocity media to scour away debris and detritus. Your retorts are correct in the fact that this method does little in the way of removing any "protective" coating applied by the manufacturer, it is true that companies apply a thin film of clear coating to aluminum surfaces; but this is purely cosmetic. It is used to delay the oxidation while the product is in transit or on the showroom floor. Aluminum in its raw form is the second most abundant metal in the Earth. It is also relatively simple to mine and refine. Aluminum corrodes in several ways They can be atmospheric, Intergranular, exfoliating, and Galvanic. This is the type that I believe has affected your carb. As you noted, the float bowl was "rusted" aluminum is non-ferrous but can be contaminated by ferrous metals in its system. The emulsion tube showed discoloration and was pitted, and you could not remove it. This is classic galvanic corrosion. Dissimilar metals (brass) can create an electrolytic reaction when in proximity to each other, causing the aluminum to act as an anode which accelerates the corrosion. I believe this will be clear to all of those who call you a hack, and they will heap formal apologies upon you. Mustie1 are you listening?

It's always sweet to watch you recover and prevail when things don't go as expected. Shows the superb skills you possess and perfect application of same. You are inspired. And you pass on that inspiration. Thank you! We learn a lot and and are entertained. What a blessing.

Why I watch Taryals video. Hes entertaining to watch and you also get all his knowledge

It always amazes me that RU-vidrs will spend so much time addressing the complaints of so few people! You have over 200,000 subs and you constantly respond to the 3 people who always complain!

They sand blasted the float bowls on the Hindenburg and look what happened ! Oh the humanity lol !

Back in the late 80s my grandfather built a mower like that out of a mower deck he built it to trail off to the side as he pulled it so he could mow twice as much in one pass he had several acres he mowed and I guess he didn’t want to buy a bigger mower or tractor lol it worked great for years thanks for sharing buddy

That pull behind would be neat for when you had mower-deck parts issues or expense but needed to cut a lot of grass anyway. If one guy had it, he could let the other guy use it while his machine was getting fixed. Then the grass doesn't get outta hand and get too tall, which gets wrapped up in mechanisms of even the toughest machines and breaks things if you keep trying and don't stop and cut that tall grass out that's clogged around rotating shafts etc. A rental place could offer that tow behind.

Taryl your the beatles of small engine repair thanks for teaching us. Keep um coming

Good to see you and nothing beats FREE!!

I love the comments about the float bowl. Great way to call out the complainers! If the complainers know so much, why are they watching Taryls videos? To complain or learn something new? I learn something from every Taryl video that I watch. Keep making the awesome videos!

when you first pulled the air cleaner cover off, I thought that clump of dirt was a dead mouse! It cracks me up the way you make fun of dumb comments. Stuff like that is probably the main reason I watch this channel!

It just dawned on me that Taryl is the Captain Kangaroo of Lawn Equipment.🙃🙂😉

I love when customers tell me that their lawnmower worked a few weeks ago and the carburetor looked just like these one.

I love your "not the space shuttle" comment. I work in apartment construction and constantly deal with architects that want to supply the minimum required dimensions at exactly the minimum required dimensions- with no margin for error. I have actually said "this is not the %#%$#^% space shuttle, it's not being built by NASA engineers, and wood is a natural product that varies in size." You make my Sundays, thanks.

YOU ARE THE BEST! KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING!LOVE YOUR SHOW !

Dear Taryl, thank you for sand blasting those float bowls. Maybe they should have had you working on the space shuttle. Great video, gonna order some of those new stickers, they are hysterical.

Taryl is the best! Truly a gem that we all need. Well done!

Taryl is probably one of the only YT'ers who can post a video and I will stop what I'm doing and try to watch it ASAP, partly because of the engines, mostly because of Taryl. Talking heat gun had me rolling.

You're a true professional. Thanks for the videos.

Ok, so it isnt a space shuttle launch. It's still interesting and educational to see someone with skill and knowledge bring useful equipment back to life. I always learn something new on this channel. Respect.

Oh NO its hack-a-dactyl and another one of his awesome videos which I will watch every time!This man and his boys have thought me a ton and helped me make money so please keep the hack videos coming!! Yours truly and fellow grass rat👍🏻

Best Chanel on the old RU-vids!!!

Taryl has amazing skill at his Profession !

Your extending the life of the Float bowl, ive scotch pad scrubbed them also

Taryl you have been working on mowers a long time and them you are doing a good job like watching you you will run into people that think they know everything and half of them are probably engineers that don’t have any common sense I made car parts for a living and I had the same problem I just egnored

"Hard as a carp." Awesome Johnny Carson reference! I laughed like crazy!

I love how you call out the people who are negative about your work.

I don’t know who the heck is picking on your videos and Zumba it’s not portable, but Mariw got me a monster jams in my life where we appreciate you and we’re thankful for every video you post Cause my grandpa Horton and things for 90 years he worked on the first lawnmower that came in my phone and probably the last one is about and he was the same way you did and never had any bites. Only thing is he didn’t believe in safety switches as much as you do because to me, they’re failure point.

Cool!!!!, something different that I haven’t seen in a while keep them coming!!! There’s your dinner, whooo!!

Hello there Taryl, nice score. I've sanded hundreds of those float bowls and never had any problems, keep on with the repairs my friend and keep doing the terrific videos

When Taryl started saying he was gonna take the bowls off new engines and sand blast them I died laughing!

Just gotta love Taryl.🇬🇧👍🔧

Taral you're not a hake man. You one of the best mechanics I've ever seen thank you for your videos And the Z Bender i got..🤙👍👍

Taryl, you are a savage...😅You got me when you said "your pee pee eye balls" Now, there's your dinner!!! lol

I have learned more about small engines from Taryl Dactl than anyone. Thanks a ton 👍

The hack! He's going to hack it up lol, that was hilarious. You gotta love the professional know-it-alls in comment areas of videos.

"He just ruined it, he just ruined that carburetor by sticking that drill bit in there..." LOL!

I'll give ya the thumbs up just because you destroyed those sand-blasting haters. Greatly enjoyed that bit.

When Taryl mimics what people write in the comment section, is the best part and actually hilarious.... Good for him to let the keyboard warriors know how foolish they can be...

Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

I think that protective coating, when combined with gasoline, instantly turns to rust!

THE CRITALIZATION OF THE MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF THE COMPLEX PLATING FINISH OF THE BOWL HAS DIMINISHED AND THE INFRASTRUCTURE WEAKEND CONSIDERABLE NEVER THE LESS IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE THE BOWL REPLATED BY OSMOSIS😂😂😂

Where the Peter Principle indicates that the cream will rise to the top, the inverse of that theory occurs much too often in video comments. The people that have little to no understanding of the topic comment the most, and always in the form of a negative critique, i.e. “look what I know!”. Ain’t no way I could have a channel because I am allergic to BS. Good job Taryl, ignore the idiots and keep plugging.

All that salty talk about the float bowl is cracking me up! Thanks for always bringing some laughter to my Sundays.

You the man Taryl, you the man!

Good video, start to the point , no messing about , very useful to the man who likes to learn and pick things involved with mowers. Well done from the UK.👍🏻

Remember Taryl common sense isnt to common!

Make sure the brake and carb spray is fully chlorinated. It’s the one that melts your pansie love gloves . Hold your cigar in the other hand, close cover before striking...

Make sure you wipe any residual sand out of that bowl.---LOL

You can see his own surprise whne he said he got it for free. Blessing the internet with these vids!

Alumin-I-um...love it. Cheers from Sunny Australia!

I got to tell you something Tyrell I have learned a lot of things from you and have started doing repairs on mowers and carburetors and stuff and by golly they run I love it your channel is great

People like and respect you Taryl!! I know I do! That’s why they give you things….

We love you too, Taryl!

We need a Taryl fixes all blooper reel!

Always informative and entertaining. An old bush mechanics bodge for things like the oil dipstick grommet is to clean it off and coat with some mushy consistency yellow laundry soap, oil and gas will not dissolve soap so also works for patching holes in gas tanks [and carb float bowls LOL].

Bro I can’t stop laughing about the float bowl!!

Love watchig your informative videos mate best small engine show on the tube and you make it fun

Like your self I have been cleaning the rusty float bowls out with sand paper , etc for years and never had any problems. 👍🏻 From UK.

I repowerd an old Haben a couple years ago and rebuilt the deck. I made the mower controls on the dash of the tractor. Works pretty darn good. My 54" cut tractor now cuts a 118" path. Field done in minutes.

Magic air filter. He pulled it off 2x. It magically re-installed itself. LOL

Nice fix job - I just replaced a tractor carb and it came iwth an inline shutoff valve and all the clamps. I shut it off while the engine cools down and the fuel is removed from the bowl each time. The only way I figure to prevent ethanol buildup.

I love your channel. I just got an x320 with a blown comeandsuckme engine. I swapped in a 25hp breaks and scrapem, and then it needed that crappy control module for 125 bucks. Runs good now. A new seat later and ive got an 8 year old 750 dollar x320.

I have to say that I absolutely love this channel. I have 0 mechanical skills when it comes to fixing stuff like this, but I certainly enjoy watching and find this channel quite entertaining. I LITERALLY LOL at 8:50. Not sure who will get the reference, but Taryl sounded exactly like The Undertaker's old WWE wrestling manager Paul Bearer.

Good to see Mr. Heat Gun! Ain't seen him in a while.

All the coating does is prevent rust if the bowl is empty for a long time like you said the fact that the bowl is rusted the plating was already gone off it

Every time Taryl goes into that high pitch voice I just chuckle. It ain’t the space shuttle lol. Of course he’s right. Go get ‘em Taryl
