How to CHANGE an ENGINE on a lawn mower

[@doyledean2763]

I have a 20-y-old Deere walk behind mower. The Briggs engine is awesome. The deck is so rusted, it's now just paint (not exaggerating). So, I'm going to do the same thing. Great video. I feel inspired.

[@Alpha-zulu-009]

That old engine just needed a $4 primer bulb but I like they way you solved the problem WAY better ;)

[@lawnrebel]

and a pull starter

[@joer481]

190cc Briggs engine you used is stone reliable and has gobs of torque. Love em. Way more power than the engine you removed. I do this kind of thing all the time.

[@chrisbather784]

Almost 70k subscribers. Great job. Looking forward to more winter project vids as the mowing season has prettu much finished.

[@oceanbnd]

I enjoyed how you got rid of that old engine. You aren’t no treehugger. 😆 Great video

[@daveking1470]

After watching your video I did the same. Unfortunately one of the engine bolts would not come out. Tried everything, even a grabber socket. And had a impact wrench, still no go. Finally had to Drexel it out. It's always that one stubborn bolt! But it worked out in the end....

[@alandobb950]

If they are the same make mower, surely the grass collection box will fit BOTH.

[@vdt4037]

8 min only :( Connor, I am addicted. Need more more! :) Have a nice day.

[@markchapman2585]

I have to do the same thing I have 4 lawnmower only 1 works but rusted out. Wish they all still used aluminum decks. Thanks for the great video

[@scooterpoynter]

How convenient! Just watched some of your old videos to check out your glorious KBG!

[@zoktoberfest]

When you tip the mower sideways, it's possible the oil in the crankcase could find its way into the muffler. Depends on which way you tip it, I guess

[@demolitionfc]

The random motor toss into the tall grass and weeds was pure cinematic genius. Almost blew the water I was drinking out my nose.

[@gregglouis2969]

I live off rt 30 in ohio. I've always wanted to take rt 30 all the way out west. Old Lincoln highway!

[@licensetochill79]

Hey, if you're looking for snowblower buy a simplicity. The best hands down on the market. I've had mine for 15 years and it's done 8 blizzards and it's a beast made to last

[@Dimmu666ist]

If i lean the mower like you did can i spill oil inside the engine?

[@scott-kf1bi]

There's so much I could say but all I will say is Nice Job.

[@Funexpected]

It's what I need to do now. I was about to buy a mower off FB right now but it's raining. Instead, I'll search for a new yard machine deck right now.

[@graceortiz9494]

Not a how to video, but you just showed me how I can remove my motor from the deck thanks Connor.

[@gusfusses44]

my bagger never pick up tools and parts I guess I'm getting rid of the Toro.

[@johnc8112]

Whole in one. Great video

[@MeisterofMyLawn]

I have no doubt that you can create or Jimmy rig a bagging system for that mower. Let’s go Rebel!

[@ptlm60]

He’s ok dumping a load of gas everywhere....but a few grass clippings on the drive way is a pisser offer? Haha

[@lawnrebel]

I didn't dump any gas anywhere. It leaked out so I properly disposed of the difference

[@sabriath]

If it's a similar mower, then shouldn't the bagger fit?

[@broth_78]

Thanks for the HOW TO videos!!! 👍🏼🤟🏻

[@redtwin1968]

I have an old Yard Machine mower with the bagger that I beat the heck out of. They are tough. It's what I use to bag up after I scalp with the GM1000.

[@lawnrebel]

Yeah they really do take a beating well.

[@timtrawick2169]

Back at the dump for another find. Congrats

[@dandennis8465]

I found a free lawn mower on the side of the road, the engine was dead. I found another free mower and the deck was good. A quick engine swap made a great free mower. The only issue I went from a self propelled to a push however I have a small property and is relatively flat.

[@tkskagen]

Great Lightweight Mulching Mower!

[@timborski1210]

Wheels suck on the mower.....instead of swapping wheels lets just take off the entire engine instead. Love it!!!!

[@29Turf]

I love how a push mower without a bagger causes tools being left how over....I hate that! Hahahaha Also love how "thrower down" the motor into the woods! Hahaha Seriously the best "how to" channel on the interwebs!

[@bennionbyu]

Landfill finds are the best! Did you end up keeping that Toro you picked up earlier this year? Haven't seen you talk about it at all after you attempted to lower the blades.

[@lawnrebel]

I still have it. I don't like it. I should do a vid on it

[@bncrbrsr51]

Man you're smart I love your video thanks brother

[@LoneWolf-gs9wr]

Yes I will say in mist of all the comedy you did show how four bolts will drop motor smack on ground an snaping the throttle cable pin was good an I'm sure you had plug wire attached the whole time on both classic I love it

[@benharrison1069]

Connor, if you just swap out the wheels you could have kept the bagger, right?

[@kevinmiller2878]

Like the Ryan Knorr sticker on your gas can.

[@ciaranomalley919]

I see you also use the “hammer locks” its a multi-tool! Cheers mate!

[@grass-patch]

The grass bag on the old mower is decent size. Maybe hang on to it. You might find another MTD deck using a bagger. My dad had an MTD mower from the mid 90s. The handle on it seemed really long with a large bag that's bigger than what you find today.

[@HumidorsandHumbuckers]

What a great how to video

[@ChristopherBenor-gv5ob]

I really love this, opportunity

[@donotrobme9295]

Me ward. Any experience using predator. I’ve gotten rid of a couple mowers I love ( 30” residential toro 2 blades ). I would have lived to put a predator engine as the Briggs Stratton just didn’t last. Any numbers of cc or hp we need to pay attention to. The thing I ran into is the numbers aren’t exact same on old engine vs new engine. So I figured I’d buy the same Briggs and put it in old mower or sell used as is mower and buy new mower. I always bought new but wished I knew more. THANKS

[@CameronBuckley-t3u]

Thank you so much, Amazing Video 😊

[@H3110NU]

That was surprisingly easy.

[@flashrobster4210]

Why did you not just replace the wheels with ones you like and adjust alignments? I love my rear bagger.

[@benshuh2455]

That's why I hate mowers without baggers..... Really made me lol

[@richardnettles7481]

Dumb question, but since they are both MTDs, did you try out the old bagger on the new deck?

[@lawnrebel]

that is the next plan

[@schluender97]

Good thing that you left the rock blade on for that test run

[@cjc_0167]

Old engine just needed a carb rebuild or a cheap chino carb would be like $15.00. But I loved the engine toss @ the end.

[@stevearkie5722]

Give it to the scrapers the toss engine

[@robertroberts9782]

This guy is AWSOME..smashing things with pliars ,,rolling leaking mowers into the bushes , tossing engines into the brush 🤣🤣🤣

[@mellikatt]

I had a car like that once. It needed new tires, so I pulled the engine. Haha!

[@BrettSucks]

Ha ha.

[@princesunnyboy]

You mean the car needed new tires and you just threw the car away and bought a new car 😂😂😂

[@dirtysteve40]

Come on down to the Peoria az Sports complex and help us mow baseball fields!

[@cwjones5074]

Hero!

[@Haigolig1]

If the wheels were the problem, couldn't you just replace them (taking the good wheels from the donor mower)? That way you can have the bagging feature of the other one. I guess replacing the engine may have been easier

[@russellbryan2288]

Is there a reason why Ryan Knorr's videos are so much better?

[@lawnrebel]

Huh? Maybe he cares. He spends way more time and effort to make sure you're happy. I don't. I do me. Ryan does Ryan. I'm sorry that I'm not Ryan. Will you forgive me?

[@baileysmith6664]

At the end just don't blow it on your driveway or get a leaf blower pull it backwards forwards far enough that when you turn it the other way it doesn't blow on stuff

from behind my keyboard, it looks like the red deck accommodates a bagger

Alright another how to video 😂👍

[@johncarter7284]

A new primer bulb only costs a couple of bucks, you could have fixed the free mower and still had the one with the bagger.

[@lawnrebel]

But what about the pull string on that engine

@@caseysanguins9490 link me

[@caseysanguins9490]

@@lawnrebel link you?!? Its all home grown. Grab 2 blades, preferably one that is flat and one that is like a C channel in the center. Notch the channel out so the flat blade rides in it, and bolt 'er down tight.

[@caseysanguins9490]

@Dave Noble that is what I originally wanted, yes. However it also cuts much better, mulches the clippings smaller. I have a couple trees that are constantly dropping branches and it sucks them in and chimps them up enough that they break down in .y compost bin much faster. Great for a clean up mow before the reel goes over it. Just make sure you balance them up. It takes a little doing to get it done so the whole mower doesn't vibrate to death. But its worth it. Side note, the extra weight makes starting it WAY easier, which was unexpected.
