[@Nudnik1]

Hope all goes well.... Boycott communist China! Cheers

[@cogidubnus1953]

@@Nudnik1 Except some reports suggest it went through parts of North-Eastern, Oregon back in November, one quote I found reading:- "a couple articles about the Umatilla School district closing down for fumigation around our Thanksgiving holiday, late November. One report claimed something like 61% of students were home sick. That seems to be where people had loss of smell and taste with the bug though the news stories are not mentioning that. It is this loss of taste and smell that is fascinating since they are now saying that may be an important sign of the new virus. Other illnesses can cause those symptoms but when there are suddenly multiple cases, it is curious. And then the COVID virus isn't spreading in that area but that could be because of low population, lack of air travel, lack of international travel, etc" There are also persistent reports of it's presence in Lombardy, Italy in late October/early November, so who really knows?

We Enjoy your videos Mustie sir.Thank you.Those Little Horses can be sweet one week,and have a total mind set for a day.But they are nice Horses.CHEERS.

[@LiveFreeOrRIP]

I finally figured this out. This is like the American dream for Most men. The mower breaks and you have to fix it to mow the lawn. You as a man need to fix it replacing it wasn't an option back in the day like today where people spend 1000 on a new phone every other year for no reason. This inspires ME and others to Fix and figure out things on your own. Mustie is a guy who took great intelligence to be a gear head and has done us all a great favor with making these awesome videos!! I wish I had a Tee shirt though.. hint hint.... Dude there are channels with 3000 subs pushing Merch... Do you have any idea how many Coffee mugs you would sell to help support the channel??? EVERY person wakes up Sunday morning makes a coffee and looks for your upload!!! Thoughts??? Start simple Tee shirts and Mugs a tumbler or travel mug. The logo will take some work and creativity but its worth it. You might need a side kick lol..

[@Kryten428]

For the logo maybe on one side a cartoon drawing of a broken down mower with a "free" sign and a sad face. On the other side a mower cutting grass with a happy face.

[@milfordcivic6755]

Most guys fix it themselves, because mowers are pretty simple machines. Otherwise, you get someone that charges your $300 for a "spring tuneup" consisting of a new air filter, plug, oil change and a blade sharpening. And if your carb is gummed up, add another $50-100 onto that for a cleaning. So.....that is why people who don't have mechanical skills just keep buying new ones. To them, it's not worth fixing a 15-20 year old mower.

[@PopllFixit]

Not to take away from Mustie, he clearly has the knowledge & experience to do this but, just about anyone can do a lot of these repairs with basic tools & the correct knowledge, it's all a matter of paying attention to what you're looking at, thinking logically &, most importantly, HAVING A GO! In most cases, especially with mowers, as already stated, they're pretty simple machines...

[@herpaderpy888]

Hell, I'd be willing to do some design work.

My wife, who should have been a mechanical engineer, but instead is (and has been for 46 years) a nuclear medicine tech and healthcare manager, has found your KZbin channel to be her go-to place to relieve stress, be entertained, and find hope when she comes home from long hours at our county hospital. Why? You might ask. Well, it’s hard to say exactly. Maybe it’s your calming voice, your optimism, your can-do, use-it-up or make-do spirit. You symbolize what is best in our society. You are resourceful, steadfast, cheerful in the face of adversity, good humored, and respectful of your followers. God Bless you and yours.

Totally unrelated, but I found a little trick that worked for me yesterday I thought I would share. You know those rubber O ring type carb bowl gaskets that seem to grow once you remove the bowl? I took one off yesterday, and when I went to reassemble the carb, there was no way this thing would fit. It grew at least 10%. So, I have a refrig in the shop and I put the O ring in the freezer and left it overnight. This morning I took it out and it dropped right in and it fit perfectly! I put the bowl on quickly before it had time to warm up and absolutely no leaks, engine runs perfectly!!

Random notes on the old 160, as my father has 3, one of which is always on semi-permanent loan to me! 1. Remember, as the diagram next to the dipstick shows, check the oil level WITHOUT screwing in the dipstick. 2. The fb460v in the 160 is 12.5hp. The 160 was only made '86-'88 as the nearly-identical 170 replaced it (160 was flathead, 170 was overhead).170 was 14hp. 3. The parking brake feature next to the deck height holds down both brake and clutch pedals for you 4. There are no brake or clutch safety switches, the transmission just needs to be in neutral 5. The transmissions are the weak link on these, they're the permanently sealed type and not cheap 6. Steering tends to be stiff; some folks have luck with the "poor man's power steering" fix using thrust bearings though 7. Yours has the optional oil filter, which is nice to have. Headlights were the other main option. The 165 was the hydrostatic version of this tractor. Another great project, thanks for helping distract me from the chaos that is two working-from-home parents trying to keep their jobs while watching a baby and a toddler whose daycare/school are closed!
