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 saw 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!

Thank you so much. Before even watching I clicked the link, and immediately recognized the technology from another channel. I have a crazy assortment of 18v Ryobi due to special pricing (buy 2 4ah batteries for $99 and get something like a grease gun for free) at Home Depot online. Quick searched "Cordless Plastic Welder Ryobi" and one popped up with a limited time sale for only $19.49. Nothing else like that was anywhere near that price and it says 1-3 seconds to heat at 85 watts. Scooped it up then watched your informative, customer friendly video which I enjoyed very much. BTW: you are not kidding about pull starter assemblies on mower engines. I was a motorcycle tech years ago, and a neighbor dumped a new condition rear drive Toro recycler with bag that had a broken pull starter. After taking home from the curb, only needed a clean air filter until the owner made it worse. One China clone pull starter for Briggs GTS motor, air filter, oil, and plug. Plus some cleaning on the drive gear to keep it from dragging and I have the latest model $400.00 homeowner grade mower in new condition. That and a better than new $1 discount priced belt and a crazy $14 price on eBay for the OEM 133-8182 Atomic blade and it really is like new. The truth is I walk the neighborhood for exercise at night and haven't bought a mower or Ice Chest in well over 25 years. Hard to beat free $140.00 ice chests that only need a $5.00 hinge set and/or drain plug. Scrub them with cleanser and a pad and they clean up like new before coming in the front door.

@rp1645 27 дней назад

"O" yes I remember those power wagons. In highschool in the mid 1970s another classmate had his Dad's and drove it to school. It was so overwhelming sitting next to the other cars. The local Sewer department had a 1-1/4 weapons carrier With a big A- frame on the front bumper. They used it to raise the big heavy MANHOLE risers and top plate. The sewer department employees treated that beast like a custom restoration vehicle. They had it up to the mid 2000 believe 😊 it's one of those vehicles like the power wagon that you wanted to keep. My friend's dad had an auto restoration shop at his home. He fully restored a WW-2 jeep, with STAR on the hood. He switched out the ignition for KEY start to make it more anti thief. He pulled it behind his ( GMC) motor home ( remember those) I did NOT buy his Jeep when he wanted to sell her ($3000) man I should have 😊 The guy retired from being local fire Chief in his FF days him and his guys most very gifted vehicle repair guys back then He had got a 100 foot American La France that had been surplus as totalled when it was delivered on a rail car and came off rail car, for Tacoma FD. He replacing the cab with a standard open cab ( standard meaning) there were cabs in fire service that were ginaric type cabs All the rear tiller part of the ladder was not damaged with minimal restoration work needed. He put in a 8V-71 Detroit Diesel with a 10 speed shifter ( Auto) like mining dumps had. This retired FD Chief was a master at restoration. He passed away in that ( GMC) motor home doing what he loved, up in high mountains on a yearly elk hunting camp. He died in his sleep. He had a previous stroke so we all knew it was coming. The Funeral put his coffin on top of his restoration ladder rig, for a funeral drive to the grave site.

Tip for plastic welding, you can use zip ties as welding rods if you need to add plastic if there’s a missing piece and they’re available in almost any color to be able to match your work piece. Hope this helps somebody.

@johnanthony2545 25 дней назад

Zip ties work some times. Different plastics often don’t bond well. They do work well if the same or similar plastic. I’ve peeled them off after , no bond. Taking plastic from a inconspicuous place for repair to have same material works well if possible.

My first saw was a 16" Homelite Super2. It cost me $129 in 1980. I cut a big old oak tree down. It twisted. I put down the saw and ran. It landed on the saw, smashing it. The Local True Value Hdwe store was the Repair center so I gave it over and told the Tech to repair it. The cost was $115. I had given full permission without ever getting an estimate. The case was that much and he swapped it out for free, not having the heart to charge me for labor. From that moment on I became a small engine repairman as wee as a vehicle Mechanic 10 years earlier. Today I learn things from your channel every time I see it! That's why I subscribed and became a Member!

@robertheinkel6225 26 дней назад

My dad was a tightwad. He bought a new chainsaw, and on the first tree he cut down, the wind changed, the tree pinched the saw dwhen it shifted. Dad abandoned the saw for safety. The tree shifted again, spitting out the saw, then shifted again, breaking off, and landing on the saw, demolishing it. He saved the bar only.

Fortunately that saw is on my work bench waiting for me to order the correct carbitraitor kit. It has been tricky hunting down the correct kit because the carbitraitor says Homelite on it. I believe it is a Tillitson or a Walboro I can’t remember thank the deed lord I wrote it down somewhere.

I repaired a plastic door panel for my truck that had cracked almost in half at one of the simulated seam areas, with a product called G-Flex fiberglass resin. The stuff is amazing. Somehow it sticks to plastic and is flexible so it won't crack. They have a youtube video where they cut a plastic kayak in half, glued it back together with the g-flex, and slid down a gravel hill in it and threw it off a bridge onto the ground below, and it didn't come apart. I also used the stuff on a large plastic storage container that had a hole cut in it that I patched back up with this stuff and used it as a water storage container for years, with no leaks.

Thanks for sharing about the link of the chain, not having a curve shape, that explains the sprocket either worn out or the chain catcher is rubbing and if it sounds crunchy moving the chain back and forth, time for a new sprocket, Good Job, ms Chickanic!

That's so cool you featured that plastic welding tool. I became familiar with that tool from the video you spotlighted. My sister's fence broke and you can't get the exact replacement parts for it. I was looking for ways to repair the broken pieces when I found that video while searching. Worked like a charm, just like in the video. I can tell you that it works as easy as you show in the video. I feel like I'm one of the cool kids now because I use tools that Bri the Chickanic uses.

Thanks for the tip , just ordered one of those plastic welders, never knew there was such a tool !

As soon as I watched this video I went to Amazon and ordered a plastic welder. Thanks for the heads up! There's no telling how much stuff I could have repaired if I would have had one of these plastic welders when all toys started being made mostly, or ALL out of plastic. DOH!!!

Completely agree! Handiest thing ever - especially on JD Mower hoods!!!

I got one 2 years ago, great product. Just have to grind off all the stainless wires that stick out. It is not really a welder but a wire imbedding tool. Mike

You had a lot of goodies in the shop today. I love my mantis and my cs400. I have a 690 but the 400 is light and powerful so I find I go to the 400 for most cutting. Good tips as usual Chickanic!

I have the same plastic welder. Love it. I fixed a broken plastic patio chair, a cracked car bumper, flower pots, lids and several misc handles. So handy. I've even custom shaped the wire pieces, with needle nose pliers, when they needed to fit into an odd shaped spot. But the different shapes you get with the gun have most things covered. I highly recommend it.
