It's nice that you go step by step and show how you do the repairs, I learn so much love it.👍👍👍

[@Kylebythecreek]

Glad to hear that! You’re welcome!

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I think you did a great job on this Toro Kyle. I didn't know if that belt would loosen up or not. But new belt, new blades. Good work. Looks excellent.

[@chuckriggsjr.6021]

Very nice tractor. I have a 2006 toro LX460 same engine. Had valve cover leak. Fixed it n a new carb n complete service n at tires on rear. Got lucky, it was a free by. Mowed 10 acres every week all season with it. Now it needs a good bit of love. Tranny needs rebuilt n engine rebuild n rebuild the deck. But I like it n it has mowed a lot of tuff stuff. So gonna have it fixed. By this spring . Good lil tractor. Great videos. Keep up the cool stuff.

[@Kylebythecreek]

That’s a lot of work to put into it. Full engine rebuild?

[@gregorypierce6703]

I remember some 30+ years ago when a neighbor was heating up the plastic on his riding mower and it was all shining again like magic!😎 Great job and the video is awesome dude.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks!

Well done Kyle!! And the channel is pickin up steam!!

Thanks David! I appreciate the support!

Good to see young people getting their hands dirty- I have been working on lawn equipment for over 60 years- I have never bought an air filter for a lawn mower in my life

[@Kylebythecreek]

My hands are dirty! Guilty as charged

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Yes it's good to see young take advantage of their youth ..cuz it goes by fast! I'm 70.

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@gradyhernandez4699 thank you. I’m trying my best not to put it to waste!

[@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293]

Could you have waxed the bonnet and fenders and made it look better?

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@georgiafatboymowingandtrac7293 yeah, that would have looked better. But, in the end, it’s just a lawn mower that I’m trying to sell for a couple hundred dollars on Facebook marketplace

Goodmorning Kyle just got up and though ied see what you were workin on it Tuesday morning here in west virginia

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

Your definition of restored differs from mine! 😆

[@Kylebythecreek]

Tell me what you think!

[@a.c.m.e.ink.4568]

@@Kylebythecreek Restored: OEM the way it looked when it first came off the production line. This is more like it'll be fine !

[@Kylebythecreek]

@@a.c.m.e.ink.4568 got it. Yeah, the work I do is certainly not oem

[@philliphall5198]

Can’t make a profit doing that and if you are keeping it then I fix everything i possibly can for long term use 😊

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Good determination

[@alberteller7286]

Nice work looks great. I thought for sure that starter was bad to my surprise it was The Solenoid. No problem selling that one.🙏🏻

[@snoopysrc]

Kyle you gained a new sub

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks so much for the support!

Another good one Kyle, and some guys don’t show their face, I wonder

[@robertmailhos8159]

The torch works for certain types of plastic so be careful with the plastic

Thanks!

Thank you!

Burnt cylinder oil works great in leaking tires also

[@philliphall5198]

I try really hard not to crank them but a few seconds I used primer bottle or spray Once I rebuilt carb I prime it with a bottle of gasoline for quick start Buying a new starter will wipe out the profit in a heartbeat 😊

[@gradyhernandez4699]

I work on these

Nice work!Nice quad! What year is that quad?

Heat on the red paint will work like it does on stadium seats.

[@TheCaperfish]

bro 30 min with some maguires cutting compound and a drill with a sponge wheel on it would make that paint new again

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks for the tip!

[@594bolt]

Do you leave the trans fluid in the tire or wait 'til it seals the leak and drain most of it out?

[@Kylebythecreek]

I leave it in

[@countryboyexplorer2411]

I've got an antique John Deere with electric start single blade riding mower

[@donaldboley771]

I wouldn't bypass the seat switch on a mower I was going to sell. But my own, I always bypass them. 😅

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thank you for letting me know

[@bigreeezy]

No oil leaks?

[@Kylebythecreek]

None! I know these engines crack and leak, but I caught this one before the sump bolts backed out. Somewhere in the video you can see me tightening them on down.

[@peteanderson1714]

See you have the trusty gl500 there. Have 2 here.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Yes I do! It’s my first bike. I’m just getting into riding and I love it, and the GL500 is awesome

[@mftidwell]

I've never heard of using ATF to stop leaks. How does that not just seep out the hole ?

[@Kylebythecreek]

ATF expands rubber. It works great to expand the rubber tie and close the crack or leak in the tire- just as long as it’s a rather small leak

[@AbcDef-iq4no]

Thirty-two bucks for an air filter that cost 75 cents to make in china, that sounds about right.

[@Kylebythecreek]

Yep!

[@portiamyers3924]

I yaket for right price

[@alan-dr8uo]

Piss on the people who want to down talk you your doing good

[@Kylebythecreek]

Thanks Alan. I’m confident in my work!

[@mikedavis2969]

👍

[@joegrillo6188]

I was very disappointed and watching you remove a carburetor claim to have cleaned it, but not show it hmmm and every time you go to start it time your spraying brake cleaner in it and instead of pulling the choke and it shows as you put a rebuilt carb on and used spray with the choke wide open?!?!! That was very disappointing not as experienced as I thought you were ! you should check your videos before you publish them just saying!

[@gradyhernandez4699]

Can you do it better chief(?/

[@Kylebythecreek]

I’m sorry you were disappointed
