Love those old 3.5 Briggs... No fuel lines, i can take it apart and put it back together in 10 minutes with three tools, usually only two things need replacement in worst case scenario (diaphragm gasket, filter). I get these in my shop to no end and have them like new and for sale for 80$ at the end of the day. Nice video!

Pretty good find I like the old mowers better than the new ones because of the new style carburetors I hate working on those

New carbs can be tricky. The Honda and Kohler are a pain with the auto choke.

Just winding down my first spring/summer flipping mainly free mowers. Great way to make some easy extra cash. Most push mowers here fetch between 50 - 75 $$$.

"be careful of the gasket with the carb cleaner" and then you sprayed all over it instead of removing it....poor cleaning job...and get a tripod...one handed videos are ridiculous...
