Dumpster Diving & Curbsiding "Manscaping That Metal!"

[@MikeTheScavenger]

Hey everyone... The fam and I are all good after that crazy blast of weather. The wife and I don't have power but my folks live down the street and have power so I am able to post from their pad. I got a little video of some of the aftermath damage I'm putting together if anyone wants to see that. PEACE!

Maybe he will become magnetic and attract all the scrap iron😮

[@tvoprosucks]

kick back can be caused by either improper valve lash or they hit something big with the blade and sheared the flywheel key making engine out of time, easy fix unless the crank got bent from striking a heavy object

[@gregoryreed433]

Partially sheared flywheel key. Firing at the wrong time.

[@robertfandel9442]

Not partially sheared. Sheared easy fix if the crank isn't bent.

I have been watching for awhile, and I still can't believe you don't have separate dumpsters for cardboard. Wishing you well with storms.

I really wish my work did we throw away so much cardboard and things that can be recycled! They don’t want to pay for the extra service!

Mike, you would make a good cop cause you sure know how to toss a dumpster!!!!

Mike knows various types of Metal! Copper, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, Iron Maiden, etc... Keep on scrappin'

[@patrickmorrissey2271]

@ 3:58 Troy Built Lawnmower. The key is sheared off on the flywheel, so it's out of time.... When it tries to start, does it rip the rope out of your hand?? Hurts your hand??? It's out of time.... That thing looked nice. Bag looked mint, too... In my very humble & limited experience, if it has a nice bag, you can get money for it. The people want the bag. You can get that running, and it'll bring money....

Go for it, Mike!!

My son lives in Harris County, thankfully he didn’t lose power either. We’ve been considering for over a year now whether or not to move to TX to be close to kids but really don’t want to deal with your swamp @$$ weather or tornadoes 🌪️, we just deal with snow and occasional hurricanes here in NH.

[@heyyoohall]

Hey yo big Mike, glad your all well. Loved the Iron maiden run to the hills . Stay well my brother.

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Stay safe

[@squirrelorama]

Troybilt an easy fix, unless they bent the crankshaft (at bottom of engine, that the blade connects to). What happens is, they whaxk something hard enough to immediately stop the engine (such as a curb, tree root, neighbor, rock etc) and when that happens there is a tiny aluminum shear key on the flywheel that is designed to break, and throw off the spark timing to quickly stop the engine from running. Usually on that job you will replace both the mangled grass cutting blade, and the shear key. Relatively cheap fix for a nice mower!! The only potential issue is if the object was hard enough to bend the crankshaft when hit, then even with a repair it will vibrate so badly that its dangerous. Only fix then is either replace crankshaft ($$$) or replace engine with a new or even better, used one off an old mower. But they have to have same crankshaft length, width, and engine mounting bolt patterns if you decide to go that route ✌

[@metaldragonbraveheart]

Nike sure glad to hear everyone's ok , and I bet when they take them towers down there will be a lot of scrap steel .

[@cristinagimpaya9813]

Hellooo...I was watching the old videos, while waiting for this...YAY

[@bruceharwood2331]

Hey Mike there is a recall on push mowers sold at places like Lowes, Home Depot and other stores, Be worth looking into, who knows.

[@brendacrawford260]

The music at the end this time was freak'n awesome ( and so is your channel :)

[@dorothybrannam1198]

Ha Mike That dentist exray machine, could be hotter than a two pecker Billy goat. The reason why they replace them, is because they have a shutter that opens and closes. And the trigger that does it go , gets stuck open. And it starts over exposing the film. And thair is nothing thair, to stop the exrays coming out the barrel, sorta speek. Thair are 24 silver looking ballbarens about the size of blue berries. That products One hundred and twenty rads. IF the shutters open, inside a steel dumpster, they will reckasha off the steel. The combined construction of the exrays, can be as high as one thousand four hundred permilla second. I use to build these things. RUN

[@StonerBob710]

I am glad that you are alright M8. Family 1st. Staying Lifted 4LifeM8's.

[@scrapman502]

The kickback on the pull rope is usually due to the flywheel key being sheered because the user hit something like a rock or a thick root and stopped the mower abruptly. When the shaft stops abruptly, the flywheel wants to keep going, sheering the key. Now the timing is off. It's an easy fix as long as they also didn't bend the driveshaft and the blade, then it's toast.

[@FredManey-w2t]

I love the singing!

[@OldsmobileCutlass1969Va]

13:48 That looks like Spaceship parts to me! 🤣

[@RaymondBertin]

Love the Iron Maiden song

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

that mower probably has a sheared flywheel key which makes the engine out of time its a very easy fix the guy might have hit something which sheared the key

[@toddofalltrades4788]

Yo Mike! That second mower you found... It has jumped timing due to a sheered key on the fly wheel. Easy fix and an easy $125 in your pocket. 20 minute job.

[@ndz8578]

G'Day Mike and all 13.29 think it was the turbo charger for the spaceship, I know there is a little girl out there that thinks the same from past comments.

[@David_Griggs]

Glad you are safe after that wicked storm. I can't help but wonder if there will be an uptick in scrap availability due to damaged stuff....just looking for the scrap metal lining the cloud.
