    "Beaver, snapper.... Close" That gave me a bigger chuckle than it should have ๐Ÿ˜‚

    I have a neighbor and like clockwork every 3 years, throws out his self propelled mower, blower, weed eater, etc ( usually Toro bought new, small yard, garage kept) . I missed the fist 2 but saw the 3rd on the curb. I asked him whatโ€™s wrong with it? Said wonโ€™t start and the blade is dull . Did a Mustie, cleaned the carb and sharpen the blade. Had it for 8 years now ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ. Was throwing out another years later and told him I could fix it for him, said no just easier to go buy a new $400 mower ! So I always look at his curb on garbage day. ๐Ÿ˜†

    Appreciate the video. Sunday wouldn't be Sunday without Mustie1 trying to bring a tired machine back to life. Watching you methodically go through diagnosing and fixing whatever is inspiring. Makes me want to get up and do same. However, if I sit here long enough the thought will pass.๐Ÿ˜€ Looking forward to Part 2.

    No matter how many times Mustie hears a motor start, he is always equally excited. It's the coolest thing.

    I work at a Transfer Station and work on a lot of mowers thrown away. Made a lot of people happy. thanks to Mustie your awesome. Good job... Sense of adventure is the way to learn... I answer your questions some times when you ask. What do Think? LOL. Also make Hardware Stores seam like CANDYLAND...

    Peeking thru the fill hole in the trans. Im like GET THE COVER OFF ALLREADY!

    You know you have a great channel when viewers like me start to predict what's wrong and you later confirm it. I wish I had all that experience locked in your brain, but the parts you do share are well worth the watch!
  • @mcarroll598
    It looks like the parts from a snapper rear engine rider are interchangeable with this larger tractor. The mower deck, the holder bars for the bagger attachment and the transmission-friction disk set up is very similar to those rear engine riders. Those older Briggs opposed twins were pretty decent motors. I like how they sound when they are running.
  • @silasmarner7586
    The better you get at these repairs, the worse condition you'll accept to start the project. Thus, the "throw" (i.e start to finish condition) keeps increasing. Excellent video Mustie!
  • @mongosaqqara
    I prefer tossing my old stuff...and buying new...don't enjoy working on old greasy stuff...but I learn so much here...Great channel!
  • โ€œWe got spark. You know whatโ€™s next, donโ€™t ya?โ€ I was like a puppy who was asked if he wanted to go on a walk? Ya ya ya ya ya!!!
  • @Uneedhelp91
    I just want to say I appreciate the fact that mustie still uses pneumatic tools. I think it is still a very viable and efficient technology for powering tools. I also think it's great he uses electric m20 stuff.

    ๐Ÿ‘Cliff hanger and a teaser all in one. Looks like a heavy duty grass cutter except for the disc shift. Nice project.
  • Darn it Darren that is not fair!!! ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†. Can't wait to see what's inside to axle assembly and what's causing the chaos. That was a major surprise the motor started that easy.
  • @tolbaszy8067
    Lilly knows what REALLY matters! Thanks for the great videos!
  • I have the lt 12 model since 1988, still runs strong. It has the same type of Briggs twin. Absolutely no problems.
  • @soupyjr8649
    Always look forward to your videos.. Thank you!
  • @MRrwmac
    Mustie1, Surprisingly lucky on that engine. Especially the carb. Thanks for taking that back end off and later giving us a peek into the transmission! Gonna be interesting and I know you enjoyed it.
