    Hi Mustie...here's something you can do with your junk mowers...pull the motor off it. Make a plywood table slightly larger than the mower is. Make a frame with 2x4's and screw them to it, so you have a wooden cart with 2x4 sides. Bolt it directly to the deck of the mower. Cut out for the handles in the back area. Paint with an oil-based paint. (you may have to space areas so you have one bolt on each corner.) Purpose: the inside of the cart area has a LOW CENTER OF GRAVITY. The lawnmower was designed to be on the ground...so you can transport a large poundage of weight without it toppling over, as in a wheelbarrow). I've carried bags of fertilizer, bags of cement, bags of dogfood, packs of roofing, etc. I once carried an outboard motor fro my car to my boat and I built one for a mechanic buddy, that used his to carry engine blocks. The uses are endless! It helps to have holes drilled in the side rails so you can rope taller things down. Folks will give you junk lawnmowers, but they're tickled to give you $30.00 for a carry-all. you can make for pennies out of scrap 5/8" OSB plywood and one 2X4.a little hardware and some paint. ((I once pulled one of the old type small wheelbarrows apart, because the tubular frame and wheel were shot, and made a DUMP-BED with it onto an old mower base. worked great to mix cement in with a hoe & roll it to where you were needing the mud and pour it directly from low to the ground without worrying about it tipping to the side)) Folks see them and scrap DIY one themselves and find that they are most handy! I hope you get one of these going for yourself! AGAIN, I VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU MAKING THESE WONDERFUL VIDEOS !!! Bill, from Tn. 🇺🇸

    I always enjoy the "will it run?" videos, even if there is a basket case or two. The suspense of the episodes is riveting!
  • Simon from the UK here, well my brother.what a pleasure it is to watch you at work and teaching us all in a manner which we can understand. Love your dog and my Jack Russell likes ice-cream as well. Pleased you found a back pack blower as I've got one that is playing up. See you on the next one.😋

    Hey - quick note to Mustie1 to say thanks for all of these videos. After watching many of these, I was able to fix a pressure washer that had been giving me trouble. Since the carb seems to be the first place to check, I took it off and gave it a good cleaning. After that, it worked fine but ran rich. Again, your videos helped me understand that I had hooked a linkage back in the wrong place - choke always on - so 15 min later it was all running perfectly. Seriously, thanks again!

    when a week gets too long of a wait I search for the old gems like these.

    Nice score on the tiller. I picked up a 1960’s tiller a few years ago. The thing is built like a tank. Also snagged a newer troy bilt mower from my bro in law that was completely rusted out with a 6.75hp engine that was a perfect swap for the one on my log splitter. It’s amazing the kind of things you can find from people who just don’t know how to work on these things. Love your videos btw. Keep ‘em comin’
  • You've answered the question I've been wanting to ask for the longest time about whether you use a mic or not, because I've never seen you wearing one. Your voice and ambient sounds seem to always be clear and natural. And seeing Lilly dog enjoy her ice cream was worth the price of admission right there. :o)

    That windscreen may have been a pain to fit, but it was really worth it. The Li'l red bus is looking great, and it seems you;re having fun with it! Love your vids Mustie, always look forward to them.
  • Sound is way better then the other camera, with loud noise it made this electric tweet sound.. keep up the good work!

    On the AC unit "that season is coming very shortly" Here in western Oklahoma that season has been here for a month or so, lol. It's been in the 90's every day for a few weeks now. I will say though I'll take the hot weather as opposed to your winters any day! I used to live in Minnesota, I hate winter!  I have the exact same window unit and it works great!  Great video!!
  • @dalesubic345
    I would have to say that your cameras are much better than in the past. I can watch full screen on my 27" monitor now and it looks great.
  • @danlinek6302
    Heck yeah just got off a 12 hour night shift and I come home to a Mustie video. Thank you
  • @onemat2000
    Thanks Mustie.. made morning. Also thanks for talking about the waste liquids. Down here in Tennessee many people just spill their waste on the ground or on the side of the road.
  • @KanoKapre
    Awesome wrenching vlogs. A man can always learn a few good tips..!!
  • @kens97sto171
    Those AC units are pretty decent. I've got a extremely similar model. It's almost 10 years old still works great. Kind of nice it has a automatic option, also a timer which is nice. So you can set the temperature that you want set it for 8 hours. And when the 8 hours passes it will automatically come on and start cooling the room down. Pretty nice. Came with a remote too that had a magnet on it. Other people have mentioned it but I think if you sit in AC unit on its side like that You need to let it sit in the correct orientation for a few hours to let the oil settle back into the compressor
  • @eds1994fatboy

    Around here , the gas will pull the moisture in and cause many problems on small engines . I now drive about 10 miles away to buy premium no alcohol gas . If you have to use gas with alcohol , use Star Tron additive . Works well . I can't believe my neighbor ladies listened to me and ran all the gas out of their mowers at end of mowing season last year . I have not had to tear any carbs off of their mowers this year ! Did you ever notice how many people that have front tine rototillers do not have , or know what a depth regulator ( skegg ) is . I borrowed my neighbors and it did not have one , so I made one for it . I noticed it is missing now . At the least , I would like to have the 1/2" X 3" steel back !
