This kid is awesome!!! Nothing better than going outside and tinkering with things instead of being inside playing video games. Great job and keep the videos coming kid.
You probably figured it out by now, but your choke should be the throttle all the way forward. As soon as it starts you pull it back to run. It cracks me up every time you talk like your Dad. SABRE.
Hey little human, you need to give you dad a huge hug and tell him thank you for teaching you fundamental skills that you will most definitely benefit from as you go through life. Awesome job little dude. Keep it up
Make sure you hit the bell icon next to the subscribe button and change the notifications to "all". If it still doesn't work it might be in your phone permissions. Hope one of those two helps!
Good job LG! Someone already told you about the button for reversing, but the choke mode is throttle lever all the way forward. That's why is was running "weird" when you pushed it all the way up. You should feel an indent, like a bump in the lever when it's full throttle. Past that is choke. The orange, up/down thingy on the left is a parking brake. Push that pedal all the way in and lift on the orange thingy, release the pedal and it should stay pushed down. You can start it without having to be on it. That "1800s push mower" (LOL) is more likely late 1960s to mid 1970s. The deck looked like it was cast aluminum. FIND!! Looked to be in great shape, not rusty (corroded) or broken. See if you can find some old metal wheels (like on the back) for it. Not the new plastic ones. Might even find some around the old barn. You could polish the aluminum deck and make it shine! Remove the blade and replace it with a pulley and install a car alternator to run from the bottom of the motor with a belt and make a generator...of sorts 12v, charge batteries... Hook up a power inverter and use it for 110v power tools, lights, etc. (Dad-help seriously encouraged here) Some mowers of that period actually had magnesium decks! I have an old LawnBoy mower with one. Love watching your shows and thanks to Bradley for manning the camera. Good job Brad!
Wonderful to see you thinking about the little Bird that was nesting in your mower... Well done M8, dont ever forget about the wildlife that's around you and do everything you can to protect it... Well Done !!!
On the John Deere on the right side you have the brake pedal and the height adjustment for cutting grass. The orange (P) is your parking brake. The yellow button you push in when you want to go in reverse. If you don't push it in, it will stall out. The yellow handle on the right is for engaging the blades. Hope this helps you out.
Really well presented. Who knew RU-vid capabilities were genetic? The young man's intelligence and eloquence a chip off the old man's block. (As hard as dad tries to disguise it.) Terrific show!
Only when used as the French pronunciation with Le in front .it’s Sabre as in the curved sword .Sabre as in its usage to cut grass In example ,it’s blades ..
Thanks Bentley very enjoyable as usual, you will soon be in charge of your own mower racing team! "Little Grip Racing". Mum and dad must be very proud..Take care from the UK. 👍
The little yellow button on the left is the backup button. Some mowers you have to push and hold but it's so you can backup without turning off the blades
Thanks for sharing Bentley, enjoyed your video! Sorry about the Cub Cadet but it did make a good video when you were fixing it! I just finished watching your dad video right before yous, both great videos! Kirk from Louisiana sending prayers and positive energy to you and your family little brother! See ya on the next video my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻oh you might be able to buy a tube from tractor supply if those tires are still good! Then you can get dad to break it down with his tire machine! Take care Bentley and thanks Bradley for helping you during this video, I guess he’s your strong man! It’s nice to have a strong arm helping you whenever you need! lol 🤣😂🤣 He picked up that push mower like it was nothing! 💪🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻💯💯
Great job Bentley! Incase you haven't figured it out yet, the little yellow button on the dash is to keep the mower deck engaged while in reverse. Had the same mower a few years back.
Man what a good show Bentley! And talk about dirtbike heaven! Growing up on that property and having dirt bikes and snowmobiles and go karts is awesome and good for the soul. That's exactly how I grew up and it did all right by me. Enjoy it. Your parents are doing right by you and you are doing right by them so keep up the good work kiddo!!!
You go young man! -- Problem solving skills you are developing will last you a lifetime ! Perhaps check the cable on your blade engagement - likely broken, rusted or otherwise impinged so that it doesn't operate the idler and engage the belt / blades.
I just realized he's more interesting then his dad. And I'm a huge vice grip fan. I'm chilling with this, vise grip, sleeperdude. That's some good clean u tube
Good to see the smallest human with a bit of dirt under his fingernails just gettin her done - great work Bentley - cheers from Tasmania 👍great work on the camera Bradley and mum 👍
The Sabre being a hydrostatic transmission is going to be limited to making it go fast. It can be done, but it's not likely to do what it should for very long. A gear drive transmission is what you need. You mentioned using the Cub tires on the Sabre, the wheels wont work most likely. Usually the Husqvarna and Deere riders will use a key way on the rear axle and the MTD/Cub riders will use a shaped axle. The tension idler arm on the mower deck is probably stuck, it's pretty common after that sit for a while. It's just a manual pivot situation. The Kohler engine is a peach though. Those are hard to come by anymore (the command). Fun watching you learn.
Nice job Bentley, your initiative is quite admirable. Don't worry, making this into a racing machine is waaay better than what it was headed for, which was the scrap pile. "Things running richer than Mr. Beast" ... you crack me up! Keep up the great work, and make sure your folks know you appreciate all they do for you ;)
The orange slider on left side of dash is parking brake so you don't have to push left side pedal to start. To enable, push pedal all the way forward, slide button up and let go of pedal. To disengage, push pedal down, and slide button down. Yellow button is to be able to back up with blades running. Slider on right side of dash is "cruise control".
On a rideing lawnmower that little pull bar in rear is a transaxle disingage for pushing them around Also most mowers throttle are all the way down is choke for starting up then you can slowly move up to bring rpm up for cutting grass and driveing most have a safty switch in seat and your foot brake that wont let it crank without being ingage i love the channel keep up the great work
hey there little grip, im sure someone else has told you, but in case they havent, that lever on the back of these mowers is the engagement for the hydrostatic transmission. if you pull that lever out it disengages the transmission (puts the mower in neutral) and you can push the mower without damaging the transmission. if you push the lever in it engages the transmission and pushing the mower with the transmission engaged can damage it.
Honestly your teaching this non mechanical grandpa stuff for getting a cpl mowers together to race around with my granddaughter good stuff my mans just a word of advice. Next time clean it off outside easier clean up afterward lol. Keep having fun your doing a great job be safeish!
Great episode. Sorry abut the Cadet. Glad you found this one. Looking forward to the progress. Be safe! Jessica, good on you for putting (I'm sure) your long lid=st of things to do on hold to go record/keep an eye on your boys while they do these things. That's way better them telling them no, or letting them be out there alone with "heavy" (LOL) OK, potentially dangerous equipment. That's very cool of you! great video! Can't wait for the next one. Be safe!
In the late 1990s John Deere decided to start selling there mowers through big box stores. To get around the contracts they had with there dealers they “rebranded “ the low end mowers with the Sabre name. They were virtually the same as the STX series John Deere mowers. They forced the dealerships to sign new contracts that allowed them to sell JD branded equipment to the big box stores.
