Building A DIY Bush Hog From An Abandoned Mower! (EASY)

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

I am not surprised by the running mower at all. You can't kill em. It's so silly that a person would buy more than one lawn mower in a lifetime.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Man. I have killed a few… but I use them like an idiot

[@Mikefestiva]

Great to see you are still enjoying your Bestarc 👍 Thanks for the shout out as well 😊 Nice work man 😊👍

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thanks for the support. My channel is real small but I ll send what I can your way. Again I appreciate your review on that bestarc. It gave me the confidence to buy it, and I am very happy with the purchase. So thanks for taking the time to make that video.

Add adjustable wheels from that mower pile (all 4 of them) that will give you more options.

[@clarkmarkey1498]

Literally dirt cheap cool tools. That gave me an idea for an old mower i have laying around. I know a guy who really needs exactly that sort of contraption!!

[@TheCaptain-yw5pb]

Remember Sea Foam is your friend. Add it to the gas. Helps clean the internals of the carb. You will be surprised at the results. Love the channel!

Save your money use water

[@renamon1983]

Thats a plastic "pulsa jet" carburetor. Dont tighten the bolts that hold it down too much or it warps the plastic and causes it to leak fuel past the diaphragm and into the engine causing it to run stupid rich, also auto parts stores sometimes have those diaphragms in stock. Also that run away was the cooling fan wind based governor that uses a paddle under the housing that gets pushed by the wind the cooling fan makes, along with springs and leaver arms to open and shut the throttle based on the load on the engine to maintain the peak power running RPM.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thanks for the info!

I Love to seen you turning junk into something usefull, Greetings from Germany /Berlin

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

thank you! I love Berlin, is been years but have had nothing but good times there

[@VikingShipExplorer]

On my acreage I've needed a brush hog to knock down a type of thistle that is slowly taking over the the edges of the yard and it seems to creep in farther each year. In the last 10 years it's taken over about 3 feet of grass around the yard and showing no signs of ever stopping. I have a 60 inch mower deck that will have a 24HP engine mounted to it and I can push it from the front of my garden tractor. Need a few more pieces made and I'll be able to start building. I will also take an old mower and cut the front out as you did to sneak under the barbed wire fencing. Keep the kool videos coming.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

thanks man, i have a mower deck or two laying around your plan sounds pretty useful and 24 hp is a lot!

[@VikingShipExplorer]

@@betweenthesharksgarage The stems of this brush are about the size of a straw and tuff and very close together and about 2 feet tall. I hope 24 HP will be enough....lol.

[@BeardyOfIron]

It kind of reminds me of the Facebook marketplace meme of the lawn mower with the sawmill blade.

[@williamshaw6752]

Hold the bar on handle it’s a break & stop machine

[@HermanMunster-o2j]

" The shark shredder" lol Gotta do what ya gotta do👍👍

[@Ruststored]

Good job thinking out of the box. Ive been known to replace string trimer line with baling wire. OSHIT approved 👍

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thanks man. It’s a little silly but it will serve a purpose with zero dollars spent

[@radaraacf]

Did you call the mower a poofta? Love it

[@dirtyberniesgarage1194]

You should play around with that intek. They are fantastic engines that make all sorts of power

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

thanks for the heads up, I am learning as I go on these. bird in the hand is worth two in the nest i suppose, nothing going to waste around here

[@chadburud5681]

I always pre order a chinesium carb off amazon or ebay. They are really cheap. Then I mess up the governor linkage and have to rigg that to run correctly. But fun video again. Let's see the inside of the house..

[@haroldrogers6083]

That little mower did a days work !!

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

It certainly helped

[@matthewanderson7766]

You need to do a vid of getting all those mowers running awesome idea with making it into a brush hog

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Stay tuned. Once this army of hodge lodge machinery is complete we will wage battle on the briar and bramble

[@LifewithJames]

I’d suggest cutting the discharge opening larger so it doesn’t clog but you will need to make a wider safety guard/cover.

[@johnkranz4004]

That’s Awesome And it deserves a Oil change for sure And Give it Hell at the new house

[@teshuvahemmet3036]

I like that 👍 and I'm going to make one thanks for the info 👍

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

it works pretty well for the cost and effort

[@Cardboardstraw]

Love the video but if you work on any more of those push mowers please disconnect the sparkplug when spinning the blade with your hand. You never know if one will try and fire when spinning the blade by hand. Some older lawnmowers run off extremely old gas and you could potentially lose a hand.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

That is a very good point. Thanks man

[@scottfoster2487]

Weld a couple of the old mower handles in a A frame and use the excavator to grab the A frame with the thumb and bucket and go have fun.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

brilliant stay tuned

[@iscariotproject]

another epic lawn mower adventure

[@davidcorder95]

Loved this video series canit wait how far it goes brother that orange one you passed up look like a heavy duty one for a moment lawnmower or got some mixed gas in a lawnmower Klotz oil works good too

[@tombackes9557]

One shark hanging on each side of your new garage would be appropriate.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Indeed. We are on the lookout for the new sharks. They need to be found in the right moment with a great story. The original sharks on the original garage Came from my favorite bar when it closed …. And how they got to the bar is an even better story. It involves a shopping cart on a stormy night…..

[@RobertSnedigar]

Great video. love all of them

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thank you. I appreciate it

[@eddie_gur23]

Great video keep it up love watching them 😊

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thank you! Will do!

[@Youdoneedmyname]

Haha! Crazy bro but I like it. Hard to kill a Briggs. BTW- You remind me of Mike Ness of Social distortion.

[@Durtee]

not sure if you have a parts washer in either shop but oven cleaner from a dollar store works great on that sludgy stuff.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

man... thats a good point.. techinclally i have two parts washers on in each shop... and they both need work... everything is a project around here

[@kennetharmstead9762]

See if one of the other mowers have the quick adjustment wheels and put them on there even better if one has big rear wheels push easier if one does have them

[@Youdoneedmyname]

Put some old gravel or nuts and bolts in that tank and shake it.

[@terrykyte1845]

HAYWIRE FOR SURE

[@lorenagoodman1]

Can you make the silver lawnmower a mud mower.

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

I don’t know what that is. But yea I can. Let’s build one of those sounds like fun

[@jamieelliott5205]

Still need to know what is in the caravan

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Oof it’s rough. But we can get into it

[@iscariotproject]

probably a new variant of covid

[@claytonsimplot9554]

Does anyone make 22" circular saw blades or make a disc with a chainsaw chain attached on the diameter? Something to try.

[@larrywalls8842]

Anytime I feel the need to burn a few brain cells I can always count on you for another useless video😂

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Count on me Larry. I have been dabbling in uselessness for a while now. Good to see you back

[@benschlack5814]

Hey the best price is Free

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Amen

[@bryantidwell]

Could have made $25 0r $30 dollars off of that push mower

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

I suppose I could. But I think it’s gonna do a lot more than 30 bucks worth around here

[@willtay3016]

That was a 25 min video to say I cut the front off a old push mower lmao

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

25 action packed minutes

[@ravioli9728]

You should use that on the barking dog

[@tonydecarlo6438]

I love your videos is the white suv in driveway yours and can you try to get the other riding mower run the one behind the push mowers please respond I love your videos and I pick up old lawnmowers and I love working on them I love your videos please respond and please do a will it run on the Datsun truck and the other riding mower behind the push mowers please respond again love your videos 🙏🙏🙏😁😁😁😀😀😀😄😄😄😃😃😃😸😸😸😺😺😺

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

Thanks man .. and yea that little suv is mine as well

[@tonydecarlo6438]

I saw it in the backround and I really liked how it looked and was wondering if it came with the property and does it drive

[@tonydecarlo6438]

Will you please do a will it run on the riding mower behind the push mowers And the Datsun truck please !

[@robertsmarr-ez3kg]

it's made by MTD

[@betweenthesharksgarage]

What does that mean though

[@AJStarch]

⁠@@betweenthesharksgarageMTD Products started up near Cleveland Ohio (yes I’m a Buckeye in NC) as Modern Tool & Die. Knowing is half the battle!

[@bustedjunk4674]

MTD is Murray Trading Development…. They actually own lots of things like Murray, mtd, cub cadet, Troy built, bolens, and several others…. Chances are if u own a lawnmower it’s probably manufactured by mtd
