Try a heat gun or a small torch on the black plastic trim on the tractor. It'll make em look better.

Very good job. On the carburetor, if you drill out the main jets, that really helps. I checked out the jets in a 22 horsepower Briggs started out at about .044, went to .050 sure made a good difference.

Good tip. I’ve never done that before. I’d have to experiment with that. But I bet it would fix the slight surge it has

@Kylebythecreek Yes, it probably would. It sure runs much smoother and stronger. It pulls strong in tall or thick grass. I strongly suggest you get a dial calipers to measure where your at to start. On 1 cylinder go smaller say no more than 3 to 4 thousandths

Your paint jobs would look so much better if you actually sprayed like the directions say… light sweeping strokes in a uniform area vs your hammer down circles method. 🫤

Most flippers don’t paint it at all. I could have sold it as is- which is how I bought it. I’m not sure why people confuse my channel for one of those that does full restorations. I say it everytime, I’m a tractor flipper.

You don’t get it! You boast that you “only” paid $120 for the machine, your wanting to sell it for $1000, 10x? You have basically nothing in it, you don’t pay income tax on your profits, do you have business/liability insurance? Do you have a business license? No… so the least you could do is sell something a good product! Worry less about the paint & buy a new carburetor so they don’t have a problem a month after purchase. You are worried about the price of an air filter, but not 4 cans of Walmart paint 😒.

I prefer the semigloss too. I mentioned that in the video. But the store didn’t have any glossy paint that matched. So, I thought it was better to match the color as best as I could than to match the finish (gloss)

I own the identical tractor. I’ve had it since new in 2001. You will be hard pressed to find a better machine today. It’s a keeper, with a property like yours. As far as matching MTD paint, you can download the official MTD color chart. Just google MTD-Color-Chart and download the PDF.

Don't judge a book by it's cover when it comes to batteries. I had two long term projects that both sat up for about five years. I got both of them running a month or so ago. One had a battery from 2017 and the other was from 2018. Both were good, and are still holding a charge a month later.
