I Restored an Old Rusty Lawn Mower

[@DavidBrown-rj5lu]

Wow... That is the Honey Badger of mowers. The way it just tore through that thick heavy grass in one shot without slowing. Epic rebuild.

[@mr.c493]

Very impressed with the power that little mower has! Beautiful paint job!

[@edwardcalvert]

Very nice and beautiful restoration job on that old electric lawn mower. It's really nice to see something old like that be restored. Sometimes that's better than buying something brand new.

[@Bobo_Plantain]

Wow, that thing is a little lawn beast!

[@JonathansImprovements]

I love induction motors, they are a force to contend with.

[@williamferreira5798]

My dad had one of this model. We had to watch the Power cable to not let it stay on the blade way. It brought me memories. Thank you

[@Goodvibes-Adventures]

You can add a cord recoil that allows cord to recoil at the point it's plugged to...But I would have raised the deck to highest setting 😊

[@danielgoodman3578]

@@Goodvibes-Adventures Oh gosh I never thought of changing the deck height on that thing. Looks like it meant unbolting all wheels and moving them all to another hole on each leg.

[@KMcGrier]

I was thinking this the entire time! ​@@Goodvibes-Adventures

[@thomaskirby6706]

Ok, I have to admit that you got me on that one. When you started putting the nameplate on, finishing up the restore, the first thing I thought was “now it’s a “looking at” lawnmower.” Boy was I wrong! You went and cut the grass with it, which is the exact same thing I would’ve done as I restore things to put them to good use, just like you did. Well done!

[@garymucher4082]

That was one of the most amazing refurbishing projects I've ever seen. Nothing was missed. And your attention to detail made the difference. The only issue I saw was looks like the actual cutting blade(s) are below the deck. And therefore you really need to watch where you mow with that type setup. But other than that, pure amazing enjoyment to see such a transfer of an old rusty piece of mowing equipment brough back to better than new condition... Thumbs Up!

[@mikflo2403]

I agree, this young man is amazing. Great work restoring this old mower. It cuts real good, too.

[@kittyhawk7060]

The diameter of the wheels determine the height of the blades. The blades are about midway of the wheels. Ignore the deck. Put on wheels with wider diameter, it will cut even higher.

[@garymucher4082]

@@kittyhawk7060 The actual motor shaft makes the cutting blade sit below the deck instead of up inside the deck. So that makes the blade capable of hitting things that the deck would stop it from doing. You could put any diameter wheels on this mower but the cutting blade would still be below the deck... Hope that explains it better.

[@lindamitchell-fox1926]

Well that mower is definitely a Tennessee UT fan.

[@robj2704]

My father built an electric mower back in 1953 when I was 7 years old. The house we lived in at the time didn't have a very good electrical service. Every time he hit a clump of thick grass the tube on our TV would go out and not come back on for about 30 seconds. Made it impossible to watch Superman.

[@ditherdather]

I love that story 😂

[@MikeySkywalker]

Best story ever.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

Stories like that make me think of my grandparents old TV they had the Space Command remote that used sound frequencies, I quickly found out when I was a kid eating cereal from a porcelain bowl with a metal spoon that when you hit the bowl with the spoon just right you could change the channels 😂

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

​@@SUPRAMIKE18 Scrap it. break it up with sledge hammer and grinder.

[@SUPRAMIKE18]

@@PreservationEnthusiast lol funny you say that, this happened like 15 years ago, that TV had been long dead and was finally getting taken out of the house, trying to lift that heavy thing into the back of his pickup my uncle dropped it, landed screen down on the driveway and the tube went, sounded like a bomb went off all the neighbors came outside 🤣

[@lruiz326]

There is no way after all that work, could I bring myself to muck it up. I’d put that thing in my living room under glass as a showpiece!

This thing is awesome! Props for actually putting it to work!

[@Tom-In-Ga]

The thing that really amazed is that you were able to find tires for that thing. Funniest thing was that cord. Looks like the previous owner ran over it a time or two. Great work!

[@KMcGrier]

That would have been my FIRST upgrade! Some sort of cord recoil.

[@jhutto1984]

I don't think I've ever seen a corded power mower before. That's honestly pretty neat!

[@ArmpitStudios]

They were all corded before small, lightweight batteries came around.

[@strvenoconnell4061]

From crusty to trusty, that thing belongs in a museum 🎉

[@billykulim5202]

should upgrade it to cordless, lawn mower with cable tangling are asking for trouble

[@earthpower19]

@@billykulim5202 waas thinking the same thing

[@Mind-your-own-beeswax]

@@billykulim5202don’t talk such shit. Mains powered mowers have been around for a very long time. Millions of people have managed perfectly fine with them before shitty battery powered ones.

[@jgray8879]

Awesome job restoring such an antique. After seeing it work, goes to show how far modern technology has come as far as cut quality goes!!

[@Bert_de_Wit]

Well said. Modern mowers are made from plastic, with weak blades and engines. This old model is so much more powerful and robust.

[@breauken910]

Thank you for showing it in action after the restoration! Man, that is one tiny mower, though lol, but it's got some power!

[@KbB-kz9qp]

That is so cool, first that folks used electric mowers so long ago, and second that you took time for such a gone restoration. Thanks! 😀

[@brienakers3533]

Wow that was an amazing restoration! That mower came out like new and then you just give it the business. Love it! Thanks for sharing.

[@OVERKILLFPV]

Its alittle beast!!! Awesome renovation. 👌

[@daverodgers6208]

A restoration video and a lawn-cutting video in one. Cool!

[@TheRustRepair]

From rusty relic to lawn care hero! 🌿🔧 If only my grass could see this transformation-now it’s just jealous!

[@stinkbug4321]

After the $200 is spent plus countless man-hours of restoring it. It breaks down after six months of hard use. Then your neighbor goes to Home Depot and buys the same thing for $80 and uses it for years.

[@fedsen]

Unbelievable. Such an amazing restoration.

[@mwand89]

Yay.... another lawn mower restoration video! I'm just enjoying watching the process!😁

[@hauk65000]

Very well done and impressive restoration! Quality professional work

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Wow!! You did a TOTALLY AWESOME restoration on that mower, my friend!! I must admit, I started watching your video about 3 times before this, and each time I had to stop; to go away somewhere. As a result, I lost track of it, each time; but when I found it again a little while ago, I wasn't about to pass it by, & I'm sure glad that I didn't, because watching you "transform" this mower back to looking like new again, was totally enjoyable!! I look forward to more great videos of yours, just like this one! Highest Regards! Ron Abilene, TX. USA.

[@shartne]

My dad had one of these back inn the 70s I can remember him expertly manuvering the cord.

[@ArtifactRenewal]

Bringing a rusty old lawn mower back to life combines nostalgia with practical skill, making it appealing to anyone who enjoys seeing everyday tools restored to their original functionality. 24:24 This title suggests a hands-on, rewarding process that many viewers can relate to and appreciate, especially those who value the art of breathing new life into forgotten items. A great watch for anyone who loves a good before-and-after story!

[@seacoast6351]

Wow! This mower is so simple i feel like i can make one as easily as it took you to restore one. The hardest part would be the curved rake overhang area. its a lot of curves with a lot of complex cuts.

[@snoopthesausage9925]

It's refreshing to watch a genuine restoration and one without the use of latex gloves, pliars, or tweezers, to pick every single part up. Thank you.

[@GeorgeSTANFIELD-ju5gd]

My granddad had one like this. You flipped the handle to change directions without twisting the power cord. It had a disc with four small blades under the deck. That little mower would do a good job. I sure wish I had his. He died in 1962.

As a landscaper who cuts grass everyday in North Carolina. That is one bad ass electric mower. That grass would bog down a gas push mower for sure.

[@bryanpetersen1334]

I remember corded lawn mowers. These days I’ve got corded and air hand tools collecting dust because I’ve got too many thousands of dollars of Milwaukee cordless tools laying around. I’ve never seen a cordless needle scaler though. Also, grommets are always a good idea.
