It might only be running on one cylinder.

It has been really helpful to have!

That would be nice!! But they are sooo expensive.

Yes, the smaller/cheaper ones don’t have great wheel and tire sizes. That and they don’t weigh a lot. The heavier duty ones do better.

That’s great! Thank you.

Thanks!

Hmmm. Which one is that? I don’t think I was planning on fixing an LT4000

@@garagestory I kept seeing it in the background of the other videos so I thought you were going to fix it lol

Out of curiosity, I went and walked the yard to find the LT4000 you mentioned. I’m not finding any LT4000’s… where was it located?

@@garagestory it was located at the back somewhere where I last spotted it in a video

I’d like to get to it soon! We’ll see how it goes. Hopefully it doesn’t turn into a much larger project with the backhoe down for a long time…

Thank you!

Yes, it’s been on the list for awhile. It just wasn’t as much of a ‘fun’ project

Thanks for watching!

Unfortunately,it’s pretty much parted out now, no engine, transmission, or deck. And the hood and seat aren’t that great. Someone else mentioned taking the grill or something and hanging it on the wall. I think that might be a more practical option possibly. We’ll see.

I know! I need to do it. Hopefully it won’t be down for too long.

Yes, it’s nice! It’s hard to put a value on projects like this, but they are probably more important than we realize sometimes.

@@garagestory This is a similar analogy. If I come across a door that doesn’t function correctly for any reason (striker doesn’t engage, hinges squeak, door swells and won’t shut all the way) I try to get on it ASAP simply because it’s hindering me from passing through every time I use it so it’s slowing down my ability to function efficiently. Once the issue is addressed I’m more efficient and can concentrate on more productive tasks. NOT addressing the issue immediately wastes time and effort every single time I use the door. Added up over time, that door costs me more in lost time than just fixing it as soon as it pops up. Same goes for having to search for tools or parts that weren’t returned to their assigned locations in a reasonable period of time, trash or objects obstructing my ability to move around the shop effortlessly, piles of unnecessary equipment preventing me from getting at useful equipment that still has value, etc. You get the idea. 🔧👍

Yes, those are things I bad about. It’s easy for me to ignore things. And there is the temptation to think if you fix things when they pop up that you’ll never be able to work on what you really want to work on… but you are right, it’s more efficient to take care of things like that quickly. There’s just so many things like that around here. I’m realizing that I need to shift my focus to fixing things around the house that have been put off. So we will probably have some slightly off topic videos!😄

@@garagestory I preach a good story, but I’m in a similar predicament, except I’m 77 and single (again). My get up and go sometimes got up and went, but mostly it’s a question of priorities. Do I fix the leaky faucet or clean that customer’s chainsaw prior to actually working on it. Or do I just take a or partial day off because I’m pooped or waiting for parts on the job currently in hand. Decisions, decisions! 😉

Nice!!

Great idea! 👍

Good thought!

It’s on the list for sure! Hopefully before the end of the year, but we all know how that goes…lol!

That’s good!😁

The 60V is better, but I chose the 20V because I had 20V batteries already and it would have cost quite a bit more to get the 60V plus batteries.

@@garagestory I'm the same. What battery would you recommend for run time

I’ve been using an 8ah battery primarily. The bigger the better I’d say, unless weight and balance becomes a concern.

As far as where to hook on with a strap, it kinda depends on the mower. Sometimes I just put the hook in the hitch hole on the back. Sometimes I hook to a front axle, or wrap the strap around it. Basically, go for attaching to the frame or axle.

Try arcing your solenoid with the key in the ON position to see if that works.

I honestly don’t know. It’s been over a year, and I think my Dad bought the belt.

Thank you for watching!

Not a bad idea! I’ve been thinking about building a rack with arms to hold them.

@@garagestory Anything to keep them clean will make them last longer!

No matter what he sold it for, would not have been the right amount for you. Just be happy for him & try a thumbs up.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Thanks!

I took the engine apart later in another video. We found a broken connecting rod.

No, I haven’t really tried to do that. I’m sure you can with a multi meter and/or a test battery.

@@garagestory I’m sending you 3 videos that helped me to understand relays inside and out and how to bench test and test relay circuits. I think one important thing to remember is, like solenoids, just because it clicks, that doesn’t mean it actually works. Also, it’s pretty easy to pry the case off one of these to see the guts. 😉🔧👍 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYLbcnara9qmZtksi=RB9rb9fO3Duiz5gr kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5bco2lprKmkfZI kzbin.info/www/bejne/rprEooecoZeNkKc
