Good deal. Nice to have a decent supply of mowers to "turn".
how many of you repair small engines as a hobby? $$
- Thread starter twinfords
- Start date
i sold a Craftsman self propel with 7 HP briggs and the John Deere Rider. also got in a DML rear self propel Craftsman and a Green Weed Eater mower. Customer picked up a leaf Blower as well, I got a 10 HP Briggs running today for a power Washer and working on the 2nd Statesman tractor. not a bad weekend at all. Also cleaned up a bit and have a small scrap yard pile ready.
That green machine with the 4 spoked wheels. Is that a Ransomes vac? Maybe a Billy Goat?
it is a Billy Goat
very bad storms here today, i put new tires and tubes on the white Statesman and new blades, new belts, cleaned and painted the deck (Chrysler blue) it seems to be operating very well. I washed it also. it will be for sale tomorrow. i fixed the AV bushing on the MS170 Stihl as well. pain in the ***.
Hi yes i have website dedicated to it at Repairing Lawn Mowers For Profit
Stampy, that is a lot of good info you have there, i hope you do well with your info DVD's
Here are a few pics of the Statesman 16.5 that i am working on. Reason why i do not do riders more often is Size, (storage issues) but mostly here is the example. Paid $100.00 for it, i have installed new rear tires with tubes, new blades, new belts, new air filter and 4 hours of my time @ $40.00hr. = over the $400.00 i am asking for the tractor. i am actually loosing money, go figure.
