How to service Masport President 6000 (Briggs and Stratton 850 Series)

[@aarongeorge8059]

Cheers for the safety tips about the spark plug lead. Wouldn't have thought turning the blades would be able to start the mower.

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Safety doesn't take a holiday mate ;)

[@harrothepilot]

Beast of a mower, bags of power and torque. Had one for about three years now.

[@tedlym.3390]

Thank you for showing us how to do our own lawn mower maintenance. You made it look quite easy.

[@fyaluugda]

didnt realize you could hose it off like that without any issues. and replacing the blades looks pretty simple too. tyvm!

[@SandieSmith4]

Sean, you are a wonderful instructor!!!

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks Sandie!

[@banksiasong]

That was excellent. Loved the humour, "three ugger duggers", and the air filter. You'd make a great teacher.

[@MissionKr1s7y]

Loving the humour included *Knuckle Head* Very informative and great flow of instructions

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks mate!

[@t-boy-maximus8333]

Wonderful, thanks Sean 👍

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Very welcome

[@ShannonD.999]

This was a great tutorial, I love the sense of humour 🤣

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@annesweeney5552]

I just learned a few things ! Thanks Sean

[@daruandu]

Make sure when you pull the spark plug that the lead is not hanging close to the plug... with your mower, that's nice and easy, but with some of them, the lead will naturally sit right next to it and if you're super unlucky, power can jump across a slight gap and start the motor.

[@robertphilion1225]

Had to watch all of your video's, this one very informative!

[@B.E.Greatful]

3 ugh a dug ughs has always been a technical torque setting here in Petoskey Michigan for me your awesome videos are great keep up the good work

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Thanks mate!

[@markpace779]

I’m not sure why I skipped over this video, mower envy I guess. Glad I watched it though because now I really want one. I can’t find anyone around me in Missouri that carries the masport mowers. Also can’t find a bagging mower with the hard cover bags.

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Yeah Massies are mainly around Australia and New Zealand. I think they have an international market, but not huge. The Briggs engine is US made I believe

[@markpace779]

Yes sir. Briggs also make what we call, “hot” motors for go carts. One day I’ll just break and pay international shipping to get one. I’d also like a work horse like queen Victoria. Thanks for continuing to help people, I’m watching your newest video now. I tell people at work that I may need help. I work a 50+ hour week, soon to be 60+, I work when I’m home by doing various jobs for my family or neighbors, and when I’m not doing that, I watch cool guys like you on KZbin working. Work and a good work ethic are cool in my opinion, just a shame it’s not contagious. Cheers buddy!!!

Great video mate!

Very helpful video mate thanks for sharing 👍👍👍

Good tutorial, easy to follow !

[@traci3508]

THANK YOU!! I have one of these but push button cause I nearly rip my arm out of the socket trying to start the rope pulls.

How do you like this mower for commercial use? I got a President 4000 with the commercial series B&S 850 engine, it was a curb find with a broken front axle and no catcher. Got a catcher for $165 and axle for $70 and fixed it. Wondering if it's a good mower or not. The mulch plug is a pain to fit and I don't want to be shelling out for repairs all the time..

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Axles seem to be made of paper. Replaced one, and it was bent in the sane spot within an hour. These cut too low in my opinion. Are the 4000s self propelled? If not, they are better than this because the open chute wont clog

[@subsonicdeathmonkey]

My thoughts: That’s a good find. I’ve used a 4000 for years in a semi-commercial environment. The cutting deck is weirdly aligned but that’s by the by unless you are spending well above the $1k mark. If the engine is good, you’ve got a good mower. P.S. keep an eye on chassis bend as the steel is a fraction thin and can bend and get hit by blades if you don’t pay attention or handle it roughly. Enjoy!

[@bigchief2331]

@@subsonicdeathmonkey Thanks for your comment, good to hear your experience. Certainly seems like a good mower overall, this one is the alloy deck, but both deck and axle seem a bit average compared to my Honda HRU196 which is 20+ years old and built like a tank. But now it has a new axle, catcher and blades it is cutting and rolling beautifully. The engine is quieter than the Honda (probably because it's much younger, 2015 model) and its lighter which is nice. There is only one issue, I can't turn the engine off using the throttle control on the handle! Have to use the switch on the engine and wait for the air/fuel flow to stop. I did some research and hopefully that is a easy fix involving adjusting the lever thing on the engine. Once that's fixed, it will be like new. Certainly not worthy of throwing out, even if it did need nearly $300 of parts.

[@dessawindsor701]

I really enjoy your since of humor....

[@theatremad9797]

Great video. I am in the market for a new lawn mower, what would you recommend as I have $600 Aussie dollars to spend. Def want a Briggs and Stratton motor but just don’t know the model to settle on for normal mowing Thanks

[@christinesmicrocosm5917]

Thanks mate!

Ugahdugah, the official measurement of torque and force for real men!

[@dewaynegibson8422]

👍🏽

[@domharley4042]

I see you didn’t clean & replace the foam around the filter before replacing the whole thing. Is that just not required on the aftermarket filters?

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

It's not required at all. All it does is prolong the life of the air filter a bit more. The paper filter will keep debris out of the intake. Just a choice I made due to impatience as I was getting rained on at that moment in time.

[@domharley4042]

[@mitchpopa478]

Hi any tips on how to replace the belt on the Masport President 6000 SP mower? Thanks

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Flip it on its side, and pull stuff off until you can reach it. Once you're under there, you'll see it's all basic!

[@4x4meetsandshows]

I’ve run masport before , they are so light

[@BladeMateLawnCare]

Sure are! Especially compared to the 216. Just acquired a Rover Procut 950 which is also a reasonable weight

[@4x4meetsandshows]

@@BladeMateLawnCare yeah was a grey 8000 machine a few years back
