[@bobbyscott8024]

Looks good and starts good now with that new battery! Sounds great and mows great! All anyone needs!

[@donaldbollman1049]

Love this!!!! Keep them maintained and running. Great job, enjoy your videos.

[@freedommowers420]

Thank you so much. I’ll have plenty of content coming.

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

Turned out awesome.Thank you for the video

[@scrapyardengines9741]

Nice job man, Kind of surprised those exhaust pipe bolts were loose, I had some of them break and strip before

[@MowersNBlowers]

Nice job brother! Your donor poulan is something I’d use to repair. My donor engine is usually made from 3 blown engines. Engine sounds great!

[@freedommowers420]

I may end up repairing the Poulan. I have a hydro trans I would like to put in to replace the plastic CVT.

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Henry , i was thinking the exact same thing! 😂

[@MowersNBlowers]

@@rogermcdonald1607 Alex is lucky to have such a pick of the litter. I wish I had his space and inventory.

[@philliphall5198]

Hipa is good and so is 8ten parts also, we use both all the time 😊😊😊just because it’s oem don’t mean it’s good 😢😢😢

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Nice one, Alex! As presented I’d call that one at least $650. With a bagging system add another $150. How about you?

[@67enfield]

That tractor is perfect. I'm looking for one like this for my parents farm. I haven't found anything nearly as nice. I'd buy one off you but living in Maine that would be a haul lol. Thanks for making these great videos. So glad your back Alex!

[@keithdaviau7582]

What is the part number for the hipa carburator you use

[@rogermcdonald1607]

Someone's getting a very nice tractor Alex! My favorite resale red color also. I bet your very busy and i always look forward to your videos. Take care and have nice 4th of July with your family! 👍🎥🇺🇸

[@freedommowers420]

Thank you Roger. My favorite color as well. I’ve come down with a fever currently but I’ll be back on my feet soon. I hope you are doing well and really hope you have a great 4th as well 😎🇺🇸

[@garyalensr]

Alex, impressive as always!! You always take these neglected machines and turn them into awesome running and cutting units. Your patience and attention to detail is above a ton of other small engine channels. I wish i lived in your area, id definitely buy a rider, push mower, trimmer, blower, chainsaw or any other unit off you. Keep up the great work and stay cool in this heat. Hope ya have a super 4th🎉🎉 the 4th of July is my birthday.

[@philliphall5198]

Going to have to rewatch this because I got sidetracked 😮

[@MazichMusic]

Nice job! The deck on my 2004 Craftsman DLT3000 rotted out, so I bought a replacement deck and two new spindles from Husqvarna. I transferred the other parts with new bolts and nuts and installed a new belt, as well. Blades were practically new. Got it together, broke-in the belt and it's ready for 19 more seasons. Love that Craftsman red!

[@mr1pearl]

Sweet looking and sounding machine sir 👊

[@Vanguardcredit]

Do you offer courses on this? Its crazy every time mine breaks down its a hassle with the dealers and small shops around my area.

[@dangerline95]

I have a craftsman ys4500. I was wondering, is there some sort of clutch adjustment for these? Feels like ALL of the drive begins at the end of the clutch

[@joshmartinak4315]

Question: i have a mint dlt 3000 with a blown honda gcv 530 16.5hp. (you have a video of this exact tractor... i actually have 2 of them lol) I know a briggs would fit. What kind of re-wiring would i need to do to get it to work? or whould you suggest sticking it out on my search for another honda. They are hard to come by.

[@smithwesson7149]

Thanks for another informative video showing engine swap! I hope my 2016 Craftsman T1200 keeps running well so that I only have to do routine maintenance. My 2007 Craftsman 22in. push mower is still going strong.

[@Maximus43968]

I was getting worried about you. Great video. I have had really good luck with HIPA carbs and kits.

[@mjg263]

Very nice, that’s gonna be one happy customer! I really like HiPA carbs, I never have any trouble with them and they always come with good quality gaskets and hoses. Good stuff!

[@philliphall5198]

I have been using Napa hose or gates, does that hipa hose get hard as a rock ??? I’ve had terrible experience with Amazon and eBay hose 😢

[@mjg263]

@@philliphall5198 hmm, not as far as I know. I’ve used HiPA kits on customers mowers and when they come back a year or two later for pre-season tuneups (or after they hit a tree stump lol) I’ve never noticed the fuel line being hardened up. I always pinch the fuel line off before tipping the mower up for service to keep gas from running out of the carb and they always seem ok. I’ll have to keep a look out for that, thanks.

[@Maik1968]

Hy Alex, greetings from Germany! Nice job again and thanks for the video! Your t-shirt showed: it was crazy hot 🔥 Have a nice Sunday and I will be watching next time, always my entertainment at the weekend evenings 👍🍀🌞

[@philliphall5198]

How is the weather??? It’s been wild here

[@Maik1968]

@@philliphall5198 in Germany it‘s a mixture of temperatures between 72 - 78 F and heavy rains and flooding sometimes, thunderstorms and hail. Not really summer vacation conditions.

[@ImSrry4BeingWhite]

I need some advice please. My 21hp single cylinder Briggs Intek blew a hole in the side of the block. Where do you guys find the best cheap used engine at? Facebook and Craigslist have a surprisingly bad selection of engines to buy. Any tips?

[@hypercube33]

Harbor Frank used to have a twin cyl vertical shaft engine for these for an OK price but it seems like they have discontinued them. Not sure why, there seems to be an endless supply of lawn and garden tractors that'd benefit from that option. Have you ever repowered a mower with one when they were available?

[@gary-e4c]

i bought 3 of hipa carbs for 3 different machines. one worked perfectly the other 2 i had to take the diaphragms out of both of them to rebuild my old carbs. i'll never buy another hipa carb.

[@MunkyWrench]

She lives... nice job on the machine and the video. is it ok if I email you with a question.. see you soon

[@freedommowers420]

Thank you Kelly. It was nice to see this one come back to life. I sent you an email back.

[@toastedbread3242]

Hey man love the videos. Just was wondering where do you get the deck belts for these craftsman tractors?

[@Stewarts_little_engine_repairs]

Love the video man, I just picked up 4 mowers this evening for 200!😳

[@MarkMeadows90]

Nicely done sir. How much do those engines weigh if you don't mind me asking?

[@MunkyWrench]

Just sent you an email you won the giveaway from my channel

[@crisprtalk6963]

My man has a customer waiting on this machine to be made... impressive.

[@freedommowers420]

It’s crazy!! I’ve had so many people asking for mowers I’m struggling to keep up.

[@Press1for]

Awesome work

[@sawyerbennett8227]

How so 💀🤣

I also have people waiting on mowers I need to restore. It’s a great feeling! 🔧👍

[@GregSorensen-wb2hf]

does all pto pulley have same 5/8 bolts

[@philliphall5198]

As far as the bigger engines go but push mowers are generally 9/16 size which is 3/8 fine treads

[@jackhuddleston6830]

Great video. Have you ever added an electric start to a Toro self propelled? Thanks

[@sawyerbennett8227]

Thats not how you pronounce poulan 🤦‍♂️

[@liljoeii6091]

I had a question an engine overheated and then stopped running I thought I would give it a jump that didn't work then I checked the fuse it was okay by the time I did jump it again I wait it cooled off and then it started again after jumping up but then it's still didn't act right and I'm going to switch Motors and then I want to tear it down to see what happened this never happened to me before one of these Troy-Bilt even though 1,500 I paid it's a piece of junk brand new but anyways thank you for the video
