I followed your detailing instructions and advice on the FB ad and sold my Craftsman lawn tractor in 12 hours for over market value! You’re a boss!

[@GarageGear]

Awesome my friend! You probably only spent a few minutes doing it all too! We’ll worth it! Nice work! 👍👍

[@GippFloridaBoi]

I have this same lawnmower and they are great 🎯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@GarageGear]

Awesome my friend! They are relatively easy to work on too! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheWallykim829]

I like you. You're cool. Thanks for the video and info. My dad decided to buy a new Honda and thought I might want his old one, which I already have. 😑 said if I can fix it I can have it. Hahah so I want to clean it up and fix. And have it sitting in the middle of the lawn when he comes by to visit the kids. Hahah. Whatcha think about painting? I want to maybe sand blast and primer,paint, gloss? thinking of black, my dad's favorite color. Black on black?

[@GarageGear]

I’d say go for it! I bet it will look cool when it’s done! Thanks for being a cool fan! 👍

Thanks for video, I have and use my Troybilt mower with a Honda motor for 18 years. Even tho I dry wipe clean it down after every use. I wasn't sure if I could wash it once in a while, especially the motor, with that cruddy build up of dirt and stuff. Thanks again.

[@GarageGear]

You got it Joseph! Thanks for watching

[@mkilic10]

I use engine degreaser before cleaning, and I do not even need to brush it to remove the dirt on it.

[@GarageGear]

@@mkilic10 thanks for sharing

[@everybodysjonathan]

I’ve only used atf when taking my photos before listing it. No reason to use it on your own stuff. I do however spray the clippings and clean with a garden hose after almost every now

[@GarageGear]

Thanks for sharing!

[@andrew4403]

Well I'd love to find a mower like that for only five bucks. Crazy really nice looking mower.😊

[@GarageGear]

Turned out to be quite the gem! Thanks for watching

[@Outdoorpower-equipment]

I have a oil leak on my toro recycler 21 inch mower and it is coming from the valve cover

[@GarageGear]

@@Outdoorpower-equipment I’d take it into a shop to get it checked out

[@greenmtnman7714]

When I bought my house in 1995 I bought a Kgro (Murray?) mower that I would keep cleaner than most people keep their cars. Unfortunately one day I was in tall grass and lowered it down onto an apple tree stump resulting in a bent crankshaft. 😭😭

[@GarageGear]

I have felt that pain before too my friend! Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the video. Can we clean the whole outside of the engine, carburetor, and camshaft and everything else with brake cleaner? I have a used and very dirty push mower, and I removed the plastic housing cover, the plastic fuel tank, the 2nd metal plate housing, the air filter & cover, the spark plug, and the muffler. I covered the spark plug hole and the muffler hole with plastic bag and paper towel so nothing will get in the holes. It has a lot of grime and dirt all over, and I want to clean it all off but I'm not sure if this is something that can be done without damaging it somehow? If this can be done, is there anything else (electrical or other) that I need to cover with plastic to not get it wet and damage it? I wanted to get the advice from someone who knows about these things. Any help is much appreciated.

[@GarageGear]

@@GoldenCup888 hey gabriel! You could use brake cleaner but WARNING it will ruin the pain on your lawnmower. It’s stronger than carb cleaner it may even ruin some carb gaskets in certain cases.

[@GoldenCup888]

@@GarageGear Thank you, much appreciated. Can I use it all over the flywheel top, sides, and under it? It seems the flywheel is connected to the engine from the top... If I spray brake cleaner uner the flywheel in the space between IT, and the engine, will that be able to get into the engine somehow where the flywheel connect to the engine? I apologize for the silly questions but I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these things.

[@GarageGear]

@@GoldenCup888 hey Gabriel I would not coat the fly wheel with anything. It could ruin your electrical connection as it spins to start. I would leave it as is. No one sees it anyways.

[@nland]

What is your strategy for finding mowers so cheap?

[@GarageGear]

@@nland I have a few friends that find me them nowadays!

[@whywoulditellyou00]

I've heard transmission fluid works really well. I think I might have seen it on one of your videos. What's the ratio of the tranny fluid do you mix it or cut it down?

[@GarageGear]

No need to cut it down. I used it straight out of the bottle! 👍

[@Dr777cl]

Nice And Clean 👌👍

[@GarageGear]

You got it! 👍

[@larrymatthews1180]

Will that transmission fluid collect dust easily

[@GarageGear]

@@larrymatthews1180 if you lay it on thick yes! Thin wins!

[@larrymatthews1180]

@GarageGear OK thank you

[@TriniDB]

Good video and tips! If I’m not selling , how often would you recommend to clean a lawnmower?

[@GarageGear]

Trini2DB868 hey Trini! I usually clean mine throughly at the end of the season. Before I tuck it away. That way it’s clean for the start of the next season. Plus any grass caught underneath during the winter months can mold over and smell up the garage. During the mowing season I tip my mower back and scrape out the underside just about every time I use it and leaf blow it off. I find it runs and cuts better that way. Thanks for being a fan of the channel!

[@TriniDB]

@@GarageGear thanks man! Always! Keep dropping the great content!

[@GarageGear]

I’ll keep it coming! My wife just got a new Jeep Wrangler so I’ll be doing a video on that next! Stay tuned!

[@DefensorFortis]

I wonder how a spray-on rinse off ceramic coating, I think 303 has one, would work on a mower. Do mowers have a clear coat like a car or is it a one stage paint?

[@GarageGear]

That might be worth a try! Here’s how they are painted. Check out this video! kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKGaen-Xdqeni9E

[@DefensorFortis]

@@GarageGear Awesome! Thanks for the response.

[@BigDaddysGarage]

I use WD-40 to clean/shine/protect my OPE and GARAGE GEAR. So, we are as different as day and ... later that day! 😝

[@GarageGear]

Flint Layfield haha you got it lol! Wd40 is another good option. I’ll use that actually on areas with lots of nooks and crannies! Just easier to get in! I like using the atf because it’s so cheap. Stay awesome my friend!

[@kebo57]

So..... how much did you sell this one for?? I retired last march and since then I've flipped three riding lawnmowers and have netted about $1400. 😊 Just picked up my next moneymaker today and gonna flip it asap. Its a 22yr old craftsman LT1000 that runs great, but shows its age. I should still be able to make two or three hundred bucks on it. 😂

[@GarageGear]

Hey kebo! I think I sold this one for about $150. Sold it fast from what I recall! Thanks for watching!

[@AimingWanderously]

Won't the ATF attract dust?

[@GarageGear]

It can! A thin layer is best!

[@chadfield376]

Do you remember what you sold that mower for?

[@GarageGear]

I think I sold it for $150. It was a few years ago. Hard to remember lol! Thanks for watching
