Toro 3100D Cutting unit completion

[@TheLawnCareNut]

Passing on your mower is a ritual few men get to experience.

[@johnoshea3349]

Outstanding. I used to have an old Foley system and had a company called "ReelSharp". Stayed busy all winter sharpening and rebuilding reels. A lost art!

[@lawnrebel]

I would like to do that.

[@MikeinNJ]

I say it every update, truly a huge undertaking. Yes it’s cheaper than buying brand new but the man hours alone, and the money you’ve spent in parts is NOT for the faint of heart. So pumped to see this bad boy in action soon!

[@TheLawnTools]

I feel you on the sentimental value. After all, you never forget your FIRST! I’m glad to hear you say good things about the 1000... I would be twice as disappointed if you said it was garbage 😂😂😂.

[@mmacejko929]

Lawn looks like it needs another shot of superjuice. Mower project looks great!

[@lawnrebel]

You bring up a good point. It likely does need another shot of the super juice.

[@ericdavidson5011]

Hey Conner next time you cut a bolt down, thread a standard nut in all the way first then back it of after you cut the bolt. This will help correct the threads a bit.

[@blzt3206]

Eric Davidson hell of a good tip, thanks

[@lawnrebel]

That is an excellent tip. I did know that but didn't think to do it. While I did know that.. I always forget to do it and have never done it to date.

[@lanceb940]

Super cool man. Great job. I didn’t have a winter project for this winter so it was fun to watch you bring a machine back to life. I hope the ole girl doesn’t give you too many headaches.

[@miky-275]

looking brill Connor, I'm in the process of restoring a 1979 tractor. and just like you attention to detail is important. keep up the good work my friend

[@lawnrebel]

Yeah... Slow and steady

Those units are looking pretty killer, awesome job Conner! Who needs a gym when you got those laying around.

[@CalebsPropertyMaintenance]

Those cutting units are looking nice 👍🏻. That is so true... all good things come to an end.

[@lawnrebel]

Yes it is very true.

It will all be worth it when you finally get to drive that beast!

[@claytonmiller3754]

Absolutely love videos like this. Can't wait to see that Deere.

[@lawnrebel]

Thanks

[@claytonmiller3754]

@conorward. Next time go to a auto body paint dealer. And you should be able to get Dupont. Centari. In a spray can. It single stage paint. Vastly superior to scratches compared to Rust-Oleuman stuff

[@techep3]

Can't wait to see that thing up and running. You should do a nice long video of it's first use, the whole yard and have multiple angles with those gopros. Get some up close reel action, that'll be great.

[@joeycolglazier3158]

Another awesome vid- if you’re looking for ideas for videos until that snow melts, maybe toolbox/tool tour?

[@TheLawnGuardian]

I like everything about this video. Nice work!

[@jeffsmith825]

I'm of the belief that if you own a machine, you should know how it works. This video is such a perfect example of why that's so critical! Try it once, learn it, and then pay someone to do it from that point forward!

[@mteske1]

I got two sets of mower blades for this season. Having 2/3 acre and only sharpening once a year wasn’t enough. Plan on swapping blades every two weeks

[@ColonelK0rn1]

If you need to have one of your lines replaced, and you have a NAPA store near you, they can make hydraulic hoses for you at a fraction of the cost of new.

[@blzt3206]

ColonelK0rn NAPA will also make beer bongs if you ask 😂 every store i’ve been too has said it happens regularly

[@workinprogress5936]

I ain’t got time for this, I’ve got work in the morning. I promise I’ll wake my wife up to lawnmower stuff

[@lawnrebel]

HA.... good man

Getting there

[@superkleiz]

Hello Connor, i want to know your lawn program for the season. What type of npk fert do you use in spring, summer and autumn? Thank you, great vids!

[@lushlawns8904]

Looking good. So close to being done. I wonder if the roller has oil in it for weight.

[@lsjones42]

My recommendation is that you look at something called one shot grease. It’s thicker but once it warms up it’s a lot like 90 weight. It doesn’t leak as bad which is why I use it on old stuff, like cars and trucks, and even my mowers

[@Brettsgrasscapades]

Hey sucker you were like 5 mins from my house when you sold that 1000 and didn't come by?? What the crap!?

[@rodneyvester9775]

Conner you ever have issues with 3100d reel not engage ing?

[@AsLawnandLandscaping]

Nice video!

[@johnsemet5646]

Hey Connor I just purchased a 2002 greensmaster 1000 for $500. New bed knife and reel was just sharpened. You think that was a decent price?

[@whiteout628]

The Eastwood Company makes aerosol cans with hardener. A couple downsides though, about 25 bucks a can, and you get about 48 hours to use the whole can before the paint hardens on the inside of the can.

[@lawnrebel]

man that sounds good... except for the downsides.

[@garethbrown2642]

I have a greensmaster 3250d here in South Africa,love your videos.Im going to have to look at a few parts for my cutting units possibly will have to bring them in from your side,have any contacts there to share with me??

[@lawnrebel]

Yes. Go to R&R Products dot com. They will have almost everything you need.

[@Blougheed]

Connor, What made you decide to buy a sidewinder?? They are a nice machine but whats your planned use for it??? That machine is far to heavy duty and its designed for mowing extreme slopes... I think youd be much happier with a triplex 3150

[@keithecklundii5225]

What the crap, Connor! Post a new video and I have to go to bed. J/k! 🤣😂 Gives me something to watch at lunchtime tomorrow.

[@lawnrebel]

Yep

[@Turkey_Bluff_Farms]

There are automotive parts stores that specialize in automotive paint supplies. They will color match your paint and load in rattle cans. DIY high-quality paint!

[@27mhz47]

You can sharpen the bed knife as long as they are not bent

[@brentcolby7670]

as you use it will the oil heat up and seal itself?

[@lawnrebel]

Not likely.. Not sure though

[@jpmeadowsmaniacreptiles4165]

Can't wait to see it in full action. Your doing awesome Conner

[@lawnrebel]

Getting close

[@rymaster4385]

How did the hunt in the garage go for the parts and tools? Did you put on any camo gear?

[@lawnrebel]

That's a swell idea. Maybe if I wear camo all the time I won't lose anything

[@tedmorella9773]

Hi Connor new to your channel great videos. Question my lawn was a sod lawn now I have bare spots with 1 to 3 inches that are below sod surface. I have dwarf fescue grass. It’s starting spring here and want to try to get my lawn back in shape. Could you give me some steps to get my lawn back in shape. I would like to get it built up to level it with my driveway, sidewalks and walkways. I’m in the Silicon Valley of California. Do I fill it with sand first to bring it to level then seed the bear spots or backfill with dirt, seed it wait for grass growth then cover it with sand to level. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Ted

[@lawnrebel]

I would use soil to fill in the low spots and then reseed the bare areas. Keep working at it and it will come in time. You may be able to level it out using sand at a later date. Just focus on getting all the bare areas filled in right now.

[@bmvj0213]

Try an angle grinder for cutting bolts and cleaning threads.

[@bmvj0213]

With a cut off wheel.

[@lawnrebel]

Yeah that is what I normally use. I just got that tool so I really wanted to use it.

[@canalboating]

Cutting unit restoration sponsored by Jack B Parson :)

[@lawnrebel]

Well not really. They are a ready mix concrete supplier that we use at work in construction. They did get me the sweatshirt for free. It's a great sweatshirt actually.

[@jeffsmith825]

Maintenance is crazy expensive on anything made for golf courses. Luckily I have my club mechanic who does maintenance on my GM1000 for a bottle of scotch. Even the height adjustments are tricky. I cut at .156 of an inch on my green and it's tricky keeping it true.

[@sonycrack1]

Great work on those cutting units. You deserve a balloon! How many balloons do you need to fill to have a giant tank in your garage?

[@lawnrebel]

like 40

[@heinzkitzvelvet]

You might want to consider going to harbor freight and getting an electric hoist for lifting that heavy stuff from the floor to the bench and back down again. 440lb. hoist is $99.99 and they ALWAYS have 20% off coupons available. That's what I'm using to lift my Honda mower up onto my bench to service it. It's too heavy and cumbersome and I'm getting too old to destroy my back lifting it up and down. Plus, it has a 20lb stripe kit attached to it. So a hoist is a necessity.

[@lettersandlove]

Good stuff. Was he new to mowing low?

[@lawnrebel]

Yes he is.

[@lettersandlove]

You indoctrinate him?

[@mikko5639]

Those machines cost here in Finland over 10K! That’s why only professionals use them.

[@trevormuggeridge4560]

😁👍👍

[@Thirdplace4life]

Which rattle can did you use? Ok this is how you do it..... Use rust-oleum 2X ultra coverage primer. Then go over it with 2X ultra coverage paint + primer. Takes a long time to cure but when it does it's durable as hell. Remember Curing is different than drying.

[@smileyzr2]

Seeing you lift those cutting heads makes my boys hurt

[@lawnrebel]

yeah they are so flipping heavy.

[@GrassDaddy]

$6000 is "a little bit" too much 🤣
