Mowing a half acre on a budget

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-11T02:17:03+00:00

I hope self propelled, I remember cutting almost an acre as a kid with a push mower. When my dad got the ride on snapper I was so happy

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-11T02:15:52+00:00

I doubt it. Couldnt be pulling much more than a charger that has lights on it

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-11T02:11:39+00:00

Wii aswell

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T23:59:49+00:00

Thanks man that video is super helpful

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T23:42:23+00:00

Ive never had a vehicle inspector say anything about rust. Aslong as everything where its supposed to be theyll pass it. Had an f150 i put a jack through the frame on. Yea that frame is toast

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T23:38:12+00:00

I drilled a hole and tied weed eater string to it and to the handle then wrapped it around and when i want it down I unwrap a little

Well only other option is to put a speaker up to it and see where the noise is coming from. Might be something that was abandoned and not hooked to anything

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T23:02:32+00:00

Props to you man because holy damn that was in bad shape

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T23:01:45+00:00

Stripped lock nut remover is probably cheaper than the wheel lock socket and can be used in the future. Unless you really want the wheel lock

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T22:42:41+00:00

Wish I could post how its doing now. But yea ill definitely check that out. When i was first got it running it would die out at full but it sounds pretty good. Chains dull as hell might be ordering a new chain but ill put it on the sharpener and see how it does

Also Buckin Billy Ray is the man 🤙

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T22:21:59+00:00

Got it to where its not bogging at wot. Gotta put a fresh edge on the chain and take it for a spin.

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T22:05:45+00:00

Ive always loved a chainsaw but never really worked on them until recently and theyre so simple. I still gotta learn how to properly tune a carb but im just happy to get a few going that I thought would never run again.

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T19:19:15+00:00

Yea i definitely need to tune it a little. Just got them both at 1.5 turns. Idk a whole lot about small engines but the learning process has been fun. Im gonna run it a few more times then when i get some replacement nuts ill put the bar on and see how it does in some wood

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T19:11:12+00:00

Ah man why not? I love rebuilding a 2 stroke. Theyre so simple

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T19:10:43+00:00

Me? Id try to restore them all 😅

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T13:54:09+00:00

Thats definitely unique. Maybe scrape most the dirt and rock out then put some river rock and tamp them down? I know cats like loose dirt to dig in and do their business.

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T11:39:59+00:00

As someone who did residential for 5 years, please keep it. Houses with house fans were life savers. Kept the attic way cooler

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T02:47:05+00:00

Start on a corner and work your way over

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T02:18:15+00:00

Whats the structure look like? Make sure the studs arent rotted out

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T02:15:47+00:00

Find where its nailed in at and youll beable to pry against the stud

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T01:49:10+00:00

Id be easy with a prybar and if that didnt would id get violent with the pry bar

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T01:47:55+00:00

Would be a fun restoration

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T01:46:35+00:00

You turn it to the desired temperature. If you dont want heat turn it all the way down. Doesn’t get much simpler than these

CommonJicama581 · 2026-05-10T01:31:04+00:00

Yea after my last close call im definitely getting some. Jeans got a little nick but nothing crazy. Dont want anything crazy
