Based on the previous installment, I'd gamble on spending like $400 on a $1500 mower i got for free. Cheap mower and less waste disposed of Just got to the end, that's a steal of a deal! $400 for a 3k machine, that's about 13% of new and got a decent machine out of it!

Still needs a little more attention though. Those cooling fans she talked about at the end is something I certainly would want to do something about before the transmission is damaged. The price of a new trans was pretty horrifying. Fixing the cooling is a lot cheaper.

Your segments are very educational even when you break it all down, it makes sence in the end, Keep up the good work and keep on smiling and have a great day....... P.S.

Hi chickanic, here's a quick tip, on those solenoids, take an ohmmeter and check for an open or continuity on the coil of the solenoid, sometimes by them getting stuck, the coil winding will burn out and create an open circuit. You should get a low ohms reading or continuity, also check between the metal case and each connector if you get a reading the winding is shorted against the case, thanks for your videos, they are a great help 👍

Glad to hear you got it running. It is a shame the customer doesn’t want to put a little bit more money into it because that mower will probably run for a long time now. If they would just put the new cooling fans on the transmissions and service the fluid it will probably be fine. Hopefully after the customer is mowing with it for a little while, and realizes that everything works good they will come back to you and finish the other repairs. 👍

If I were earning my living with this machine, and replacement cost would be $3000, I would go with the repair. And also be a little more attentive to the maintenance schedule. To me, the machine is worth how much money I can earn with it per period of time, say per year. Recently, I got a DeWalt 10-inch contractor table saw for FREE. But it was left exposed to (salty) moisture for about 7 years. It took me two months of free time to get everything to move again (everything moveable had RUSTED!) but three big cans of PB Blaster later, I have a $600 saw that still looks pretty good and runs great! And I otherwise would not have spent that money to buy such a saw. Great work on bringing that zero-turn back to life!

I have a cub cadet xt1 rider that on occasion would only get one click when I turned the key to start. Been doing this since the day I bought it new about 6 years ago, I searched the internet for likely causes. Checked the battery and alternator output and that was fine. Searched youtube for placement of the starter solenoid which is under the battery. Loosened the nuts and screws on starter and solenoid and tightened back up. Mower now starts every time. Must have been something loose or not always making a connection. Was ready to remove the start switch if this didn't work. Couldn't or wouldn't have attempted this repair without the knowledge I have gotten from watching your videos. Thanks Brea. Only cost me about 1 hour of time and no parts cannon.

Another great Job, I think it's great how you find such large job satisfaction from the work you do. I'm inspired to go through my shed and get all the two stroke engines I have working again, I have a old tiller, sears blower, big generator, and a couple more. I ended up with a John Deere JX75 self propelled mower, many years ago because it did not run right and my friend told me the shop said it needed a new carburetor and was only two years old, so he offered it to me for $100 and I took it. It did run terrible. I talked to the local Ace hardware fix it guy and he said to me that there was a jet you can unscrew from the top of the carburetor and if I cleaned it, that could fix it. So he showed me the same mower in is shop where the screw in jet was and I went home took the jet out and looked at it, it looked fine, but I hit is with carb cleaner and looked again and I could see it was different so I put it back together. It has run like a Deere ever since. It is great what a little free advice can do. So I was given a John Deere LX178, it ran poorly so I ordered a cheep carb from Amazon that fixed it but now the choke locks up inside the carb. I'm going to try and clean the original carb that I kept and see if I can't clean it with your advice. Thank you for all you do and God bless. Jack S. Washington State.

Bre, that was fun & educational ! I guess the Good Lord wanted to protect the preacher & church from the bottomless pit (money pit, that is!). I've heard preachers lament about folks giving their cast-off junk that is not worth fixing & expecting a thumbs up from Him! The good book says to give your first fruits & best unto the house of God, instead of the last & worst! At least there was good value remaining in that rider for an Expert to find how to "save T,M,&F" Years ago I was the volunteer mower mech. at a church w/2 riders. I kept replacing exploded blade spindles & bent blades ($$😢)& we wondered Why? One Sat. am I was doing maint. while volunteers mowed. I kept hearing big rocks being mowed & popped out of the storage to see one old geezer repeatedly driving thru a steep, rocky bank without lifting the deck! I stopped him, inquiring why & he grinned & said "awh, It don't hurt nothin". After that, I hung all mangled blades & spindles w/parts prices on a sign that read "Mowing rocks costs $, DON'T Mow Rocks! It's machine abuse!

Welding tip cleaners for cleaning carb jets for mower carbs and atv carbs work great! I've used them many times. If my mower and 500 to get it going good i would be happy and the trans cooling fans would be be replaced to start with. Helps blow trash away and helps keep the expensive pumps cooler and I'd find a good left side to replace the melted one and a good seat. And cut grass! Probably 7-800 total and not bad at all. Go look at a new comparable one now after inflation last few years and its crazy. Enjoy your videos Chickanik!

Well, you are saving me tons of money. Fixed a few neighbor's mowers. He was told the transmission was shot. Nope. Just a pesky cooling fan coming apart. His other one needed the "New" Chinese aftermarket carb replaced he had just bought. Plus a few chainsaws and a tiller got repaired using your tips. Again, thank you

I have the exact same mower that I got for a discount cause my friend couldn't get it to start.. I decided to hook up an electric fuel pump when I realized the carburetor wasnt getting any fuel and so far it's been working fine! Hopefully it lasts for a couple of seasons

Great pair of videos on this particular mower. The one thing I might suggest you do before spending all that time cleaning the carburetor solenoid, when those solenoids stick like that they can cause an excessive draw of current in the coil and can burn the coil up. Before I spent time cleaning it I would probably have checked continuity between the power input wire and the metal frame of the solenoid. You should have a few ohms of resistance, never a complete short (0 ohms), and also never infinite resistance which would indicate an open coil. Just food for thought.

I have a 2021 Troybilt Z46 mustang. No major issues but it does smoke at idle, smells like oil. Done it since it was new. Does a great job as a mower and bush hog.

Your eyes lit up when, talking about that carb, "Let's tear it apart"! I love that! I'm dying to see it internally!
