DESTROYED JOHN DEERE MOWER - Will it Run?

This ride on lawn mower is rusty and rotten. It has been left outside for many years. The engine won't turn over and the whole thing looks like it's ready to be scrapped. Will it run?
Thank you to my Patrons

You have the perfect voice and technique for these types of video, they're very watchable, even for those without a mechanical mind. Keep doing it!

I really like your style of diagnostics and repair.

They ran that poor John Deere into the ground big time but glad you got hold of this classic mower

Was worried you weren’t going to talk in this video, when I heard you speak I was like “yessss!”

[@Ramvilles316]

Never knew a motor that's been sitting for 10 years could run this smooth. Great job!

Gotta love when an "American John Deere" sticks a Kawasaki in it because they know the engine is vastly superior to things that they don't make anymore.. Amazing life cranker bud. I love watching these old machines get life back into them.

Great bit of logical troubleshooting, well done. Looking forward to the cooling system flush to see what it offers up.

Nice series! I love seeing these older John Deere's on here and would love to see more of them!

Holy shit.... So I randomly stumbled upon this video after doing some small engine repair research. As soon as I heard that voice I knew who it was, and a quick scroll revealed I was correct. I was both shocked and excited. I've been watching daggerwin for years to scratch my FS itch, and never knew this channel existed.... Super stoked!

Wow this is the same JD I have. It's crazy that mine is in perfect shape and this is one is so neglected but yet this one runs better than mine does...

[@eddiepatterson5025]

Looking forward to seeing the next video on rebuild the carburetor, flushed out the cooling system and change the oil and filter.

This is great thanks for the video I’ll be working on an old vintage green machine weed whacker and then I have a leaf blower that needs repaired thanks again I look forward to the videos you also helped to inspire me to become a lawn mower mechanic I now work at a shop for my job and I love it.
