GOOD LORD!! You people wear me OUT just reading about your working day! I haven't done that many engines all year. Glad I don't have people dropping off things like that. Still, if you love it, you gotta do it. It's too cold for me to be out in the driveway working on mowers. I'll work on one if it's warm and if I'm in the mood. A lot of "IF's" I grant you, but hey..I'm retired and answer to no higher authority(wife). hehehe
 
fixed a snow blower Ariens and ran the pp455

hello all, had a productive weekend, fixed a Ariens snow blower and ran the pp455 saw. cut down a standing dead oak and bucked it up. ran ok. i have been working on K700 concrete saw, pp455 and i picked up a p50 also.PP445S25DA 002.jpgp40 002.jpgp40 001.jpg
 
I started picking up free mowers last fall, dead mowers to fix and sell, so far i've caused more damage to them as part of the learning curve. i would definately take any tips on how to make this more profitable and less of a hobby.
 
Hi,
I started doing it as a hobby but it's sort a of a little bussiness now, I make a bit of money to pay for something else that I can tinker with which is great fun for me!
At the moment I have a wide variety but my favourite is my wheel horse c161!

Tom.
