I've obviously been watching too many machinist's channels (Abom79, etc), because when you got to the bent crankshaft, I was thinking "He's going to have to completely disassemble the motor, put the crankshaft on vee blocks and then check the run out with a dial indicator while using an arbor press to straighten it." Or you could use a sledgehammer. On the other hand, maybe I should have expected this from someone who uses a chainsaw to install a radio. Thanks for all the tips, especially the cable replacement.

I love his total lack of respect for the "proper way" to fix things. Another KZbin machinist's catch phrase comes to mind when you watch Andrew. "Giterdone". If you watch Abom79 you probably watch Keith Fenner.

The 357XP Andy owns is a very old saw from Husky. In all likelihood, it was without a doubt, the best FIREWOOD SAW They ever manufactured and sold. And man, did it sell. Year in year out. But, the end of an era came for the 357 in 2011. It got replaced with the 562XP. Originally i was told by our local Husqvarna dealer that is also the owner of the local Husky Dealer, that Husky was going to produce both saws, But that changed. The 357XP Became a legendary firewood saw. So rugged and so damn dependable!! As far as I’m concerned for straight up firewood cutting, this one that Andy owns, was the best firewood chainsaw ever manufactured. Bar none. Hands-down.

just dont hit rocks or stumps with your mower. thats why the shaft is bent. it can be fixed with a sledge hammer but its sketchy. first of all metal fatigue and hair line cracks are a very real danger. seen so many things crack half way then just fail unexpectedly in some catastrophic rod throwing valve dropping mayhem. the mower could run good for 5 more years then one day throw the blade through the side of the deck and through your ankle so you have that on your mind. again it can happen, it might not. its a gamble also you can just crack the crank case while hitting it with a hammer and the sound of hammer beating motor is just cringy and painful like hitting a puppy and hearing it yelp only not quite as bad. just dont break it in the first place. its easy to avoid as long as you mow your lawn often enough to know whats laying in it

Andrew, you remind me so much of my Grandfather. He too was amazing in that he could fix just about anything with what was laying around his garage. He was a young man during the depression of the 1920's, he raised three kids, fed them, clothed them, raised most of the food they had and still worked a full time job. He also provided for his parents and one brother-in-law! He simply had no time to be lazy. Thanks for sharing all your vids. I really enjoy them all.

All of your videos are great content, perfectly edited... amazing footage to watch. I've watched about a dozen of yours so far and it kept recommending this one, but my first reaction was I don't care about small engine repairs, especially an hour worth of watching... but here I am an hour later watching every minute and pausing for bathroom breaks. :) Great work!

I have over 20 years trained experience in outdoor power equipment repair and have my own lawn mower shop, here is some advice from a professional. 1. You never ever weld a blade to any mower, that is very dangerous!! Broken crankshaft bolts can be drilled and tapped and blade adapters can be replaced - they are an important safety feature in the event the user hit's something hard as in a large rock. 2. Straightening crankshafts - most repair shops will not straighten a crankshaft due to the risk that they can snap off and break, usually when a crankshaft get's bent the mower is deemed non-repairable, i have a machine that straightens them and i've had them snap off numerous times, now the hammer method does work if done properly, you need to protect the crankshaft and not hit it directly, usually an old socket or a piece of steel pipe the same diameter as the crankshaft will work, hitting the shaft directly will warp it and make it no longer perfectly round, resulting in vibration and an uneven cut. 3. Always replace a brake cable on a push mower, it is am important safety feature and never tie the cable thru the hole where the Z bend goes on the engine brake, the reason i recommend replacing brake cable's is the engine brake it's self is designed to stop the engine from spinning after grounding out the spark within 6 seconds, using the wrong cable or attempting to repair a cable can hinder that and cause the brake to not fully disengage anf it can also cause other issues. I'm not trying to be negative or criticize the video in anyway- just sharing knowledge and being educational.

I'm a software developer (in Scotland), with *some* spanner skills, but you've inspired me to maybe build a side business fixing small motor garden appliances so I can work less at a desk. These are tremendous videos and your work rate and span of knowledge amazes me.

Good job, Andrew. That riding mower brand "Signature" was the now defunct brand of Montgomery Ward Stores, which closed in 2001. Those mowers were actually made by MTD and just had the Montgomery Ward name slapped on them. My mower is an MTD Millenium that I bought new in 2000 and am still using it. I had to put a new used transaxle in it last fall of 2018 as the housing on the old one cracked in half. I got the used transaxle off of eBay for 1/5th the price of a brand new one .... $120 vs. $600, and installed it myself. I am not anywhere as good as you at fixing things, and def not as fast .... it took me about 2 months or so on that repair, but then I did not work on it constantly either. You and I got a lot in common about liking older machines. Besides my old mower, my GMC truck is a 1993 model that I bought brand new and it's the only vehicle I have had since then. My Maytag clothes washer and dryer matched set I bought brand new in 1980 and they are still working like new, but I had to put a new water mixing valve on the washer last year, and a new blower wheel on the gas dryer. I like to say that everything I have is old .... even me! LOL

The mower blade has some goofy housing around it and it’s so hard to pull. The control on push bar broke could not find a replacement so we got off the hook, using that overpriced piece of junk. Andrew just showed me a fix for control on handbar.!
