Love the nostalgia, the paperwork is just as interesting as the machine itself! Hanging out with my new baby boy born on Thursday, and wondering what kind of stuff he’ll be looking at of mine when he is older. Besides the 69 Camaro.

[@oxyfee6486]

Congratulations on the birth of your boy,I took my 16 year old daughter out yesterday,I let her drive my 67 Camaro RS,she was ripping through all four like she was born for it lol.

This channel has saved my ass more than a few times. There is literally no other source on the entire fucking internet with ANY information on vintage small engines. And here comes this guy with not only information, but experience knowledge like which way a gasket goes on a tecumseh diaphragm carb. My vintage go kart lives on!

[@shrunkenskulloutdoors]

Another great restoration project. Nice seeing someone redo all these things to preserve our history.

[@n3bruce]

That Clinton brings back memories. When I was about 10 years old Dad had an old rototiller with a Clinton on it. I had the idea of using it to make a go-kart. The spark plug was missing, so the piston was stuck. With a lot of banging and wrenching I got the piston freed up, and Dad showed me how to lap the valves. We made gaskets out of a Tide box, and a gas tank out of a Hawaiian Punch Can. We got the engine running, but the crank shaft was bent, and the cardboard head gasket burned through after about 20 minutes. We never did build a go cart, but dad showed me how to rebuild an engine when I was 10 years old. One of my fond childhood memories.

[@Wayoutthere]

I just LOVE old lawn equipment!

[@ronfrancisco8323]

You teach us so good, one day everyone will fix there own junk, and you will have a job mowing grass, instead of fixing mowers, lol, all in fun, love your videos! ✌ keep up the good work boys!!

Reminds me of my mother’s old roti-tiller from the 40’s. Back then they made things to last.

I love seeing vintage lawn equipment brought back to life and as close to original as economically practical. How cool to have all the original paperwork intact too.

[@mikehamilton3833]

Love seeing Taryl mowing with the Mott mower in his suit. Just like the advertisement. Looking good!!!

[@davidcurnutt9584]

[@rockharvey5787]

Lol Taryl with the briggs that has no spark, no compression, and varnish in the gas tank: “Yeah Ronnie it runs perfect!”

[@chatrkat]

Can’t fault Taryl for his less than honest statement on the motor. We have a whole group of people in DC who get into office and make their fortunes by habitually lying to us. Now most of us know Taryl is completely honest, obviously the motor swap with Ronnie was satire for the video.

[@Doomzdayxx]

I love old stuff. Its oddly satisfying sometimes to do some detective work through paperwork from long ago. I recently found paperwork from 1984 of lawn/electric/plumbing work done to my Grandma's house (now my house, she passed in 2018). The older generation notoriously saved paperwork and had a better appreciation for everything it seems.

[@barackobama5304]

It's because we live in a disposable society so nobody saves paperwork cause if something breaks we just throw it out and get a new one. Back in the day you bought something and expected it to last a lifetime so that's why they kept the papers.

[@Doomzdayxx]

@@barackobama5304 Definitely a disposablke society for sure. I save all my important papers, owners manuals, receipts for work done.

[@davidfoster6803]

Love ya Taryl . We speak the same language.

[@oldjarhead1125]

Great restoration, so far. Never saw one of these guys, glad you got it & are fixing it up. I love fixing old things.

[@cradd00]

My first job I ever had part of my duties was to cut the grass. This was in the mid 1980's. The tractor I had to use was a 1948 Avery, and the mower deck was equipped with these "hammer knives." I had to pull off about 500 and sharpen them at the beginning of the season and reinstall them, it took roughly two days. It was a beast of a tractor with about an 8' mower deck, it would cut anything! The Mott uses the same idea in a walk behind mower.

[@cyclesteven336]

Oh my God that brings back so many memories we have one in the backyard just like that in the 80s and it had the other motor on it then it became my first mini bike engine

[@intrepid5684]

That's a cool mower. It works great.

[@krisanderson997]

Simply awesome! Love the zoot suit! Mott the hammer knife works great. Even mulches up old cans and bottles! Dont touch me! Hahaha 😂

[@kb9ndb]

Taryl I was in a high school small engines class and our teacher had us use manilla file folders for gaskets and I tell you what it worked!! We would oil up the surface that needed a gasket lay the file folder material on the oiled surface and transfer the surface onto the paper folder, then we would cut the holes out with scissors and use a hole punch for bolt holts to make the holes.

[@leonascherer1617]

Great video Taryl. I love those old mower restorations, even though most of them were dead or gone back when I was just a kid in the 60s. And I bet you were one of those kids or young guys like me, who can remember having to dress up nice to go with your parents somewhere, like a wedding reception, church or funeral, where once you got dressed up and mom was combing your hair and fixing your tie, with all the women and girls standing around waiting, mom always said yep, that's one thing about the (insert last name here) men.... They sure do clean up nice don't they! And everyone would laugh, then you all would leave. Later. Can't wait to see it done! Jpol.

[@seamuspurcell5065]

good work ⛅

[@ElainesDomain]

Back in 2000 we bought a house and had the seller toss in the mower and edger. Got those and the original paperwork. 1972 McLane mower and a 1974 Montgomery Ward edger which is a McLane painted white. Really good stuff. Come 2018 we're moving and won't need them anymore. No one wanted them. It was a beach to get the local gardener to take the edger and days for someone to grab it from the curb with a ''FREE'' sign on it.
