 Shea Bear 1000 here listen Poo Bear and I was kind of doing a little running around exploring today a little bit looking for houses and What not also houses to rent or buy but anyway, we'll come across a couple of yard sales and first when I come across I found this neat Lawmower push mother. I haven't seen one in years. I remember my grandmother had one when I was eight nine years old And I remember this thing. It's really cool. It's called a Curtis. It has a Clinton engine on it Now I'm going to do a little video First thing I'm gonna do is change oil, of course check the car make sure there's no dirt in it The gas has been drained out of it. So it's pretty clean in there, but still just to check. I bought a new plug I'm gonna do those things and we're gonna see if we can get it running, but Anyway, there's a channel on YouTube 805 Road King Hope you don't mind me mentioning your name buddy, but I check him out him and a guy named Mike He has his own channel To but I'm not sure what his channel is, but I am subscribed to him as well for the gear heads These guys are awesome. They do some awesome crap on them I mean, it's just amazing the things they do in this guy's garage So a road king this also for you and if you know any insight on this because I'll show you something so For road king I Know you've probably seen these many times I'm gonna need that air cleaner there and of course the muffler is nothing, but If you know of anybody or any good place I can get one online Please let me know I'd like to get a get a hold of that the muffler is no big deal, of course But this is what it is YouTube It's the Curtis manufacturing Company from Muncie, Indiana, which I'm not real far away from there actually where I live right now in Ohio It's a 21 inch and it has a Clinton engine on it, which is a Three and a half horsepower cast it's got a cast on our saves three and a half horsepower now. I do have the The handle here and what's neat is I'll show you here after a bit I had to take the handle off put it back to be like but the handle goes on here and When you get to the end of a row when you're mowing And you get to the end of a row You don't have to turn a whole mower around the handle just flips back So I'll show that to you here a little bit also and there's the I I believe this to be all original and There's serial number and model number and and all that stuff on there and And I you know gives you the 30 weight oil in the summer and 20 weight in winter Things of that nature. I do not see a Date on it, so I'm not sure if someone who can roughly date this for me. I Would really appreciate that now this I am not going to restore I'm going to get it running. I think it's really cool And as you see I'm almost positive that is original paint aluminum deck a spark plug was in it But I pulled the plug out when I went to the parts store to get a new plug for it what you did have spark, but We'll go ahead and put a new plug in it I'm not sure if these wheels are original, but these older wheels Had bearings in them and these do have bearings in them and these old motors for for those of you that don't know This is how you adjusted the wheels You actually had to take the wheel off and adjust the height of your deck of your motor deck the height of how much it would cut Or how high and how low it would cut Nowadays you guys seen them. They got them little levers and quick release, you know, but I'm this is what what is really cool about this Who better want to give me Some gas and for when I get ready to do this actually cranks up And if you can see right there that Once cranked you flip this back down this little catch right here goes right in that notch and then you push it down And that's how it would crank over it did not pull start and I remember my grandmother have one in for years When I was little but enough with the boring stuff So I'll get back to you as soon as I get the oil out of here and changed and Maybe we'll we'll get it running, but like I said, it's got spark right now So I know because I got bit so I want to go ahead and check the carburetor and Which is right under here? Turn light on for you That helps. I don't know you see it. That's the that's the bowl of the carburetor down under there So I'm gonna check it make sure there's no gunk in there So I'll get back with you here in a few minutes YouTube. Hi YouTube. I'm back Okay, we got this upside down And I told you I was gonna check the carburetor out. I didn't see any reason in pulling it off because There's the float and I pulled the bowl off now. Here's the bowl. I Have not cleaned that and Poop bearer wasn't here to videotape this for me But so I just went ahead and pulled that off But as you can see there was like right in the corner a little bit of dust Other than that, that's what you see now also what is really cool about this This is really neat that I haven't seen one of these in a long time either I don't know if the camera's gonna pick it up, but I'll try to get down in here for you I got the light on right here This is an adjustable float and for those of you that don't know this float This is when your gas goes in it comes up and shuts the gas off. So it doesn't fly out. This is an adjustable float I haven't seen one of these in a long time you adjust that to wherever you need it instead of bending the little tab Now the gear heads know what I'm talking about But the little tab you bend and that's how you adjusted it. This is how you just and on here You just turn that little bolt awesome. This this thing is just freaking cool, man. I mean You know Pooh bearer knows me. She was like When I loaded it she was like Are you gonna paint it? She do better. I said hell. No, she's starting to use on set. No because if it's original paint I just want to leave it like it is like I said earlier these are these wheels are bearing and they're steel They're all plastic anymore, but look at that thing that thing I'm sitting spent for five minutes But I wanted to show you the carburetor. That's awesome. How clean it is We're gonna go ahead and get the oil changed There's the underneath. I didn't touch anything but other one other than do that There's the blade Which is not bad for the for the year this thing's been sharpening a few times, but it's not bent and there's no there's no movement in the In the bearings Does that spark and it's just this thing is really really cool so anyway so there's that I'm gonna go ahead and drain the oil out put some oil in it and I will videotape this When we try to start it for the very first time and I'm not I'm not going to E through it or anything like that I'm just gonna we're just gonna try to start it. So we're gonna see what happens So next time you see it, it'll be it's made and running like 20 years Hopefully, and if it don't We'll just keep trying so There we go be right back with you to me again who bears behind the camera. Hi everybody, okay now what we did on this is We Had to get in the fuel line because the old fuel line is Was a potential leak So I told Poo Bear we need a 5-6 Teens inside diameter line and she wouldn't got me one now. Yeah, the other thing they had Was a bigger outside diameter, but she got the right side on the inside diameter So this is fine for now because that's all we had where we're at. So she did a great job Thank you Poo. You're welcome. And Like I said, it had spark I took the top off and we cleaned the points and the coil Now in order they're probably wondering what this is doing here. Now. I'm not gonna tell them the real fact I didn't use this for it on this side. I used this as a hammer Now they make a tool to get the flywheel off of these things It's called a flywheel puller for those of you that are kind of gear heads, but not really I don't recommend using that but Road King and Mike, you know what I'm talking about why I used that to get that flywheel That's all I'm gonna say because you're not supposed to and you shouldn't and I highly recommend you don't use that but anyway, we cleaned the points and by the way, it took one tap came right off we cleaned the points and Put all back together and I spun the flywheel And I could feel spark it was zapping the hell out of me But the new plug that I bought that I told you guys about a few minutes ago Wouldn't spark it. So I got the old plug and plug it on there and Turn it it sparked every time. So I got a bad brand new plug But this is our maiden run here and let's see if it's going to run and I'll show you how Who there's a chair there, I know I'll show you how we start this you got the this in here pretty good Mm-hmm. Now. This is the first time. We'll make sure we got a choke. Let's see what happens. I don't know But let's find out Hot damn, that's a good sign I don't know how long it's been without running what 20 years. I don't know it's
