i am looking at one of these on craigslist just like yours but in better condition and one of the front caster wheels is broke, its a 2 piece assembly but the lower fork with wheel has come off.How MUCH should i pay for a mower like that ?

and what can be done to recconect that bottom wheel fork ?

[Turbo231]

@pontiachotshot Free. You can pay but there are lots of free mowers out there if you ask around.

try adjusting your float in your carb to fix that leak

[Turbo231]

@nick812502 Yeah...for the work it would take to adjust the bowl, you could just fix it.

[miscott857]

the carb could be leaking because the float inside the carb in not at the right hight play around with that and that should fix your problem

Now that is a nice mower! I could put it to great use! Oh and I subbed ya!

[MrJonnyboy15746]

hey i could use one of those but dont have the money to buy one brand new

[1987murray1]

That is one Tough mower!

[Yelnuts71]

Nice mower I got a Tecumseh two days ago and it runs perfect and it was the second Self Propelled mower I had

[hondacl0n3]

if you know that muffler on it is no good. take it off and replace it with a diffrent one, because i heard those suck, they rust, and they can ruin your engine.

Good deal, you seem to like these engines it appears. the caster wheels give bennifit when mowing tall grass. In your case your mowing brush lol

Peace :)

kool thanks alot

[habsfan2010]

you should post a video of it bush-hogging

[Turbo231]

Good point.  I'll include some footage in the end of season video for this mower.

@Turbo231 i have a ? my pull ring came off mine how do ii start it



[Turbo231]

@metalshredder161 You will need to fix the recoil start before you can start it.

[metalshredder161]

@Turbo231 u couldnt start it with out the pull string

[Turbo231]

@metalshredder161 You could using the nut on the top of the engine and a drill to turn it over...just be really careful when it fires.

Tecumseh carbs are problematic. Carb replacement is sometimes necessary to fix the problem.

[Larryaser]

If the mower is leaking alot of gas after sitting, it is possible that the float in the carb didn't seat properly.

[Turbo231]

Yeah, but per the video, it was the destroyed O ring.

[NRP1991]

wow very detailed really sounds like u know what ur doing (not sarcasm) yardmachines lawnmowers are aweosme!!!! rock on with that hope u get her running

[gasman7777]

good idea using it as a brush mower. i have a junky yardman that i use for my property near the edge of the road since there are so many rocks and sticks.

[fordwillkillyou]

NICE!! i dont like tecumseh though but glad you to see you got it running!
