Lawnboy Lawnmower Change the Pull Cord

Description

[@janetcook2379]

Update: from yesterday: today is Monday and I am happy to report my mower recoil is fixed and the mower is running again! The cord was a very stiff (almost stiff like leather) material to begin with and I was able to counter tread it instead (the other way around unlike in your video) because of it. Thanks for making my day! Perhaps you can make a video on how to do minor repairs/ maintenance tips on this mower sometime in the future??

[@janetcook2379]

Fantastic video! I have the same mower and my recoil cord is slack and wouldn't tighten properly after pulling the cord. I don't need a new cord but this video should help me to re-install my existing cord! this will be my Monday morning job before I get started mowing my lawn tomorrow. Thanks Ken!

My Lawn Mower and motor was the same as in this video - thanks followed your steps - works perfect now!

[@dannypacheco7479]

Thank you sir !! You are a lifesaver!! Had the day of today cleaned my truck and decided the lawn boy I got for free needed a little tlc . The chord handle was broken but man the way you described the video you made it so easy !! God bless you !! And happy new year

[@richardhendrix7894]

I love that handle., Thanks for the video Ken.

An excellent video of sharing all the tips and step-by-step. Pointed out it would be a time consuming job, kept my spirit up for hours. Even my Lawnboy model was slight different, it got a little different configuration. After 2 hours play with the pull cord with the hole, I had replaced the cord. You are a "Life Saver". Will follow you in KZbin from now on! Thanks!

[@mbuser781]

Just a tip. Just finished doing this. I used a small paperclip to thread the line through the hole. Very helpful video. 👍

[@brendancripps8890]

Thank you!! Very helpful video. For fishing the new cord through the two holes on the starter, I followed your directions, but then carefully used a toothpick to fish the new cord through the second hole, just in case someone doesn’t have electrical wire!

[@kyleoldham9200]

Very helpful. Easy and clear steps. Thank you

[@botnist77]

Video was very helpful. Thank you sir.

[@teacups1959]

Thank you so much! My cord had completely broke off inside my lawnboy mower and your video showed me exactly how to fix it. Awesome-now I can finish mowing my backyard :)

[@trianj12]

Very well done and informative. You are a natural, thanks

[@hottrizzle]

Excellent video...

[@Neil3474]

Great job, Ken. Nice and clear, easy to understand and thorough. I think I can do this job.

[@billkrause4585]

Thanks, I wondered how to replace the pull rope and T-handle on my old Lawn-boy, now I know. That old Lawn-boy is much better then the new Lawn-boy I bought. They don't make them like they use to, light weight frame and all.

[@skutsenkow]

Very helpful video. Thank you!

[@davehalligan7336]

Thanks Ken! - I plan on putting this to good use tonight!

[@jeffkesterson9367]

Nice video. Super simple, but I'd have floundered without watching first. Thanks!

[@fasteddydennis42]

Everything you ever wanted to do is on KZbin. - Thank you Ken - watched your video - fixed the mower and now my son can mow the lawn - ha ha :-)

[@nickv4073]

I have the same mower. The cord is still good but I saved your excellent video for future use. Thanks for posting this how to.

[@waltkubilius774]

Thank you Ken, this helped a lot!

[@hamsandwich6187]

Ken, Thank you for the video. I'm going outside right now to either re-attach or replace my pull cord, having learned from your video. LR

[@DSANDERS1262]

Just what I needed to fix my Lawnboy!

[@fftechharoldopina]

Thanks , very clear video ,you make my day ,thanks again.

[@haroldblackburn8108]

very good i enjoyed the instruction

[@waynez6115]

Thanks for the video. This will make my replacing the cord much easier......WZ

[@mikejustin4052]

A sharpie marker always works well to mark the hole locations prior to disassembling. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@paulacotter3518]

Very helpful.

[@mdbarnes21]

Thanks!!

[@CareyPortnoyBeauford]

Let's just say I'm not good with my hands.. I now know what a ratchet and nut driver are.. thanks for going into the fine details, a few of us really need you to go that far.. lol

[@worshipwarrior12]

count how many times he says taunt... i think you will be impressed...... Word of the day ;)

[@UnrelentingFreedom]

+worshipwarrior12 Lol ... reminds me of dad calling the sink a zinc ... only word he cannot sound out sss I guess

[@Muzicboy3]

Lol I just heard it for the second time already 😂 ... waiting for more 😂

[@pgcobravert]

have you had to work on the self propel unit for this mower? I own this model. My left wheel doesn't pull as hard as the right wheel. It's a good mower, bought it used. It didn't have the bag attachment, though.

[@hs-wd2px]

yep, very helpful even a year or so later. by the way... it's taut, not taunt. unless of course you're trying to harass the cord.

[@KenTraining]

Thank you.

[@alfonsocharles7555]

You don't happen to know what size throttle cable that mower uses. I have the same one. And I'm having trouble looking for the part

[@KenTraining]

Sorry, I don't know...

[@stevesmith6058]

I had to do was tell her slipknot

[@joeyoung1623]

Yeah I was trying to do the same thing and this video 📹 halpet me to put my starter rope on my lawn boy push mower know my leaf blower won't start I need help with it

[@alexsugent3279]

Giant pain In rear Amazon has the whole unit for 11 bucks save yourself some time and just order it lol

[@skutsenkow]

Do you happen to have a link? I have same mower in video.

[@shorttrackaction.8217]

@ken Training I have the exact same model Lawn-Boy.... What is the manufacturer name of that engine??? I'm getting ready to fix mine now. I might do just the same procedure you did, or buy the whole recoil for 7 bucks more? Super GR8 video & thanks for sharing Sir.... 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@KenTraining]

I am not sure of engine manufacture's name.

[@shorttrackaction.8217]

I think it's Tecumseh but I'm not sure??? TGIF & have a super GR8 weekend Ken....... TY

[@tomobryan651]

[@erikthered3601]

I loved the video. U saved me some $$! THANK YOU! I do have one question, I'm hoping u can answer. Am I able to lube the clockspring in the recoil? Mine retracts kinda wonky.

[@KenTraining]
