This is the first episode of our fix n flip challenge. I picked up a free push mower a couple weeks ago, and wanted to get it running to sell, and buy another mower with the profits. I will continue fixing and selling until we have reached our $2000 goal.

Here we go! Well on your way to upgrading a self propelled to a zero turn. Well done brother!

That was a startling transformation from what you got in the beginning. Your patience with the float and the carburetor was a good learning exercise. I’d forgotten you can use AT fluid to spruce up the appearance. Great video! Thanks!

Great job bringing that neglected mower back to life. Very satisfying to see it wake up again. It must be even more satisfying when you aee the tech who does the waking up work.

Looking forward to this series, Alex. As for this mower, once confirmed it was a runner I would have pressure washed top and bottom before tearing it down. Much easier to work on and easier to see flaws from the start. Then I don’t mind bringing it inside to work on - all the debris is outside the shop.

I love that Briggs 6.25 engine. Those things are bulletproof, and they are so easy to work on. They are one of my favorites to mess around with.

Man, I wish I could just find a single free or cheap mower around me. Seems like everyone is scooping them up on Marketplace before I even get a chance. Hoping for a side-of-the-road special one day...
@freedommowers420
@freedommowers420 6 месяцев назад
The market is only going to get harder to come by free machines. Peoples are realizing how much new equipment is and following the outrageous pricing on the marketplace.
@bigbill810
@bigbill810 6 месяцев назад
I'm in that group who doesn't want to bother with new, mainly price, but also quality-wise, new-vs-old. Seems the old stuff is usually built better. Right below price for me is learning to fix. I learned from your videos as well, and hands on fixing is what I'm hoping to do!

You have a great mower for resale. I bought that model troy built 7 years ago and gave 349.00 for it, priced one last year.....nearly 450.00. It wont stay around for 120.00..... me, I would ask 175.00 and could always go down a bit......great series!!!!
@philliphall5198
@philliphall5198 6 месяцев назад

@Rein_Ciarfella
@Rein_Ciarfella 6 месяцев назад
I also agree - $120 isn’t enough for that mower. I’d probably start at $200 and go down to $175. If you sell it for $120 someone could flip it immediately for more money!

Hey you polished that one right up and got it running like a top. Just like i knew you would. I think the bolens would be a great next step. I can't wait to see you tackle that one. You're very talented Alex. Keep up the good work buddy.

@rogermcdonald1607
@rogermcdonald1607 6 месяцев назад
The mower came out great Alex! Those are easy sells for me as they are resale red. I some times take all the wheel covers off and sell them with black wheels. The Bolens is going to be quite a challenge after you get all the green moss off of it, but you know it just needs alittle air in the tire and some fresh gas.😂 It ran fine last season!! 🤣😂🙃

Why do people spend money on stuff if they are not going to maintain it? I got into small engines and taught myself a few years ago. I have never paid for a lawn mower in my entire adult life, and I am over 40. Every single mower I have ever owned has been one that somebody threw out. I currently have 9 projects going myself right now, lol. Every single mower I get has just been neglected. If people took care of their stuff, they would save a lot of time and money in the long run.
