First off Congratulations on new member to the family. I thought removing drain plug with impact was a little risky.Fearing possible damage.Bit relieved that wasn't the case.I thank you for sharing.God Bless.

I do this sort of a thing as a side hustle and have for few years. Just my opinion, but i never pay near full blown retail for a non running mower. It was evident that something had been hit with the blade. That could cause a multitude of issues that are not as cheap and easy to fix. At most, i pay $50. That way you can always strip the mower of parts and get out okay. Now in my area, that mower without a bag is worth about $175, maybe $200 at the height of the season. As far as mistakes go, ive made every single mistake you made and still learn new things every weekend. Good video and congrats on the baby boy

Probably traded your good grass trimmer to your friend on a trash pick lawnmower got for nothing mind i found lots of lawnmowers in tye trash didn't need much get them running again should try trash picking be surprised stuff and small engine equipment that people threw away and it's ideal if looking for stuff to learn how to repair it if mess it up not out if your packet much

In my area I sell the stihl fs56rc trimmers easily for $200 within a few days of listing, as long as they have the shield (which yours did) you literally down traded

@@nickflopper I did yes and I still regret it. The price we pay for knowledge though 🤷‍♂️
