I have a Huskee 21HP 46" deck that I bought new in 1999. Swapped the stamped front axle for the solid cast option, improved a couple things on the mower deck and replaced the ball joints and regular maintenance parts change but other than that it's all original. Still running strong.

These 90's and early 2000's tractors are fantastic!

Looks like Tyler’s a big Stihl fan! I only have one Stihl chain sharpener so far but can certainly envision a time when I’ll have at least 3 different ones. That’s an amazing set you have to cover every type of chain! I’d probably mark the sizes in huge numbers on both sides. I’ve sharpened chains since I was very young and these are for me a total game changer and a real pleasure to use. Are you a Stihl dealer?

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

Yes, we are a Stihl dealer.

More of Mumbles but I’m sort of able to follow along - I just can’t hear Tyler’s full explanation and I’d really like to. 😉🔧👍

Tractor still has problems but you’ve come a long way! Part 4? Throttle cable free up or replacement? Rings worn? Leakdown test?

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

There will be a part 4! We are going to cut grass with this unit this summer!

@janbill79 4 месяца назад

I like your scissors hoist and chain hoist above it . I take it the deck was alright. good trade for a piece of sheet metal. the 7 year wait did wreck that much stuff, considering it was out side.

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

The deck shell appears to be solid, but the spindles are seized. It will need a bit of work to get back up and working. I plan on cutting my lawn with this summer 😊

@zetamale7952 4 месяца назад

I would always fix em. If nothing else, make a go cart for the kids or a racing tractor or stretch the frame and put a cargo bed on the back. Lots of things can be done with those larger tractors. Add a home-made 3 point hitch. Install electrics and an electric log splitter on it. Ideas are endless.

We have built many racing lawnmowers - one for every member of the family! Haha

@zetamale7952 4 месяца назад

Except that my Huskee is gear driven it's basically the same thing as the Craftsman here.

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

Yes, These garden tractors came in various names and colours - Craftsman, Husqvarna, Poulan... We have a couple larger Poulans out back - may do a scrap it or fix it series on one of them :)

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

We have two shop kitties, Tony and Lilly. Tony is the black cat you have seen on video. Lilly is a long haired little fluff ball that will make her film debut very soon! Let us know if you have an idea for an upcoming video! We will do our best 😊

@stevestoterau6261 4 месяца назад

SO TRUE! Too many people today look at lawn and garden equipment as disposable and buy new ones every year. Fixing or repairing something isn't possible in their world .

Removing that pulley assembly was a real struggle! Was there a reason for not using an impact wrench?

@marriedwithsmallengines 4 месяца назад

This can be done with an impact or hand tools. We chose to use hand tools for the practice ( he uses impacts for everything) and maybe everyone watching doesn't have an impact wrench :)

@Rein_Ciarfella 4 месяца назад

@@marriedwithsmallengines I totally under understand. He’s really good with those T-handles. I’ll do everything I can with a cordless drill with clutch unless it needs to be broken free first, which I do by hand because my first impact is still just beyond my reach. I saw a Makita cordless of some kind there. I’ve decided on a Makita 18v impact wrench to start with 1/4 drive adapter. I really respect everything Makita makes. I’m restoring a freebie compressor for my own use. It’s more powerful, smaller and quieter than a Ridgid curb find I got when I first started.
