Free Sabre by John Deere Lawntractor Nick from Bellport Pick! No engine!

Hey guys, how you doing? It's Henry at Motors and Blowers. Welcome to another video. I got the Bobster with me and we're headed over to Nick from Bob's house again. That's right. He's got another tractor without an engine. This one actually has a deck, which makes it a little bit more enticing to go pick up because all I got to do is put an engine on it and we can sell it. He also has three blown motors. So it's a Saturday. It's early morning, early morning for me, and we'll just go pick it up. All right, here we are. Nick from Bellport. You're not even gonna see my ass. I'm over here at Nick's. Bobby's in the door jam so he doesn't get away. Look at that mail truck. Weird looking, huh? Put a lot of ---- in there though. Nick from Bellport. We've got something else going on today. This is a, huh, really? He said he has two tractors for me. There's no way I can carry two, though. With the old van, I could, but not this one. So this is a John Deere for Sabre. You guys know Sabre by John Deere. They had an older version of this. It came in orange and strange-looking green. And this is the newer version, the strange green with the orange. Anyway, you know, it's okay. he's got three busted engines in here for me uh it's got a decent hood he said oh is it i mean it's by henry's standards yeah by by my standards it's still there don't touch it this is nothing that some plastic fix or zip ties wouldn't fix or i don't know man i don't even know why i'm here I'm here. i just i just uh i couldn't say no when you say you're gonna chuck it it's got a deck and Oh yeah, so how... how is the deck do you think that's not bad i just looked at it oh that's it yeah you can flip off weld that i've fixed that before easily so what's the other thing that you say you want to get rid of so what's going on with Nick this weekend i know you're you really with the deck Well, I mean, ----, I'd rather take this than the John Deere. No, the red one, you should take that one first. No, I'd rather have this than the green one. I should really hang on to this for a while. Because I actually need that deck. I've got, do you know how many LT1000 haulers I have at home? So take the deck. That I could use the deck. No, but if you're going to give me the deck, what the hell are you going to do with this? I don't know, maybe I need some parts in it. Oh, for goodness sakes. I'm going to have to talk to Nick about this. All right, you guys saw, we loaded that up, lickety-split. I had to get out of there, I couldn't talk to him for long because his wife wanted me to move the car she was leaving. So I just said, you know, thanks, Nick, I'll see you later. He also gave me an LT1000 deck that's not really complete. The spindles are bad, missing a blade, and a couple of pulleys are bad too. So that deck needs to be rebuilt, but not by too much. A few pulleys, maybe a spindle, a blade, whatever, etc. So that actually... is a decent deck. I could use that for one of my LT1000 haulers at home when I could build another full-fledged lawn tractor, which is great. And he actually had another deck, but he was thinking about holding onto it for a little while longer in case he needed some parts off of it. Bobo was barking when he went outside. When he went inside, he stopped barking. So I guess he likes to be inside or he's cold. Anyway, I'm going to get gas. I saw this gas station on the way here. You ready? Regular. Cash. $3.99. I'm gonna go get some gas. I'm not gonna. I'm gonna. $3.99. E85 is $2.39. Man, that's cheap. However, I've tried E85 because my truck is actually a flex fuel. You can't see it. Flex fuel. So this is the deck he gave me. and i've put flex fuel in however i feel like like i have to get gas more often like it combusts faster and i run out of fuel faster than regular gas so all in all it's a wash regular gas lasts longer e85 is quicker to burn so while i'm saving with e85 i gotta fill up more often that didn't make any sense to me i'll tell you what if gas goes up to like six a gallon And maybe I will consider E85. 40 bucks 10 gallons even. local gas stations around my place $4.39 so I saved like 40 cents a gallon that's only four bucks actually if you think about it but four bucks is four bucks I'll unload now. Unloaded the Sabre took the three engines out put them over here I haven't looked at them Three engine blocks. Preliminarily this sump cover looks great. It's the one with the half moon semi-circle thing here to hold the synchro balancer. I need that eventually. John Deere's double stack pulley. It's extra big on the bottom. There's a synchro balancer and a crankshaft and this is a ball hitch extension for a tractor. Kind of cool. He hasn't taken this apart, just the cover to look. The blown connecting rods and the sump cover bolts. This is an engine that he says is blown because it freely spins, but he hasn't taken it apart. So that'll be fun to take apart. I like taking apart these things. So it does come with two flywheels. That's always worth money. The starter motor, head, muffler bolts. And these all are missing heads. So I think Nick kept a few. So that's the extent of the three engine blocks that are blown that I could use for parts to maybe build one in the future or two. So here's the John Deere Sabre. It had an original 14.5 horsepower engine in it. Kind of shitty, huh? Very, very underpowered. No battery. And also since the gas tank is not here, it's probably in the back, which means you have a fuel pump operated gas system. the solenoid here's the harness mostly complete this hood is trashed nothing that some zip ties or some plastic welding wouldn't fix no headlights no headlight covers but i mean you know it's like complete and whole instead of just pieces so you can do something with that this does have a separate throttle and choke cable as most fuel pump deliveries have although i don't see the I don't see the choke. What was that second wire for? Oh, one is for the PTO engagement. It is a manual PTO engagement. It's pretty good. Tires hold air with the exception of the front right. Had to put air in it. And he said the deck is okay other than that hole on the front right, which we can block with some sheet metal and some self tappers. So this just needs an engine and some TLC is all. I might have a John Deere seat cover for this. Gas cap. Sabre Part Reference Maintenance Guide. It's a manual, five speed forward, one reverse. Ooh, engine mounting bolts. See if the tranny works. Ooh, it's a Sabre Panther. So yeah, man, I have an old engine I'll put on this. The engine's actually, I think, a 17.5. So it's more horsepower than this thing came with. So yeah, we put one of my old rebuilt engines on here, and there you go. Kind of clean it up a little bit, get everything working. Fixed the hood a little bit, and this can be listed for like four or five hundred dollars, maybe. Paint's okay. I mean, I've seen John Deere's where this bottom part is all rusted to hell. This one, this one's all right. It's not bad. I'll keep it for a future project. He also gave me an LT1000 deck, which I need. I have like four haulers that need decks. so he gave me a deck uh he said one of the spindles is bad uh these things are not good although they feel okay they make noises i think like a deck isn't supposed to make noise yeah this one makes a little noise i think i have a few extra uh this one also needs a blade and a uh discharge flap cover this thing is here so this is a cable activated or engaged PTO which Which is why this stud is so high. You hook the cable onto here and it pulls it. So pretty cool. That's a future project too to get this deck working and placed on a hauler. Listen, I had to go get this because it was free. Free. That's right, free. All this takes is an engine. I got a spare engine. A little bit of TLC. I know how to do TLC. Some ---- to fix on it, but you know what? It's content, you know what I mean? The engine's for extra parts. I was there to get this anyway, and he gave me a deck, so maybe we'll get a hauler going in the future. Now, on to the next thing. So, recently, I got a new super fan. A fan is just a subscriber and likes the work that I do, but a super fan watches me non-stop. Of course, you got plenty to catch up on if you're a new subscriber and you like the content. I've got like 3,000 videos. So, the subscriber is GingerSnap. And she sent me a bunch of gifts for my birthday. She obviously saw videos of me trying to put my tires on beads and not being successful. So she bought me a bead seeder from VEVOR. You guys won't be seeing me doing sponsoring for VEVOR products anymore because they've gotten so big in the United States they don't need YouTubers to tell you guys about VEVOR everybody already knows about VEVOR so they're concentrating on their Amazon affiliates which i am also a part of but i won't be reviewing any VEVOR products unless subscribers like you sent it to me which is what this is So this kind of scares the bejesus out of me. What you do is you hook up your air compressor hose to this. You pressure this up to 100 PSI. Then you close the valve to stop it. And then when you're ready to put a tire on a rim, you push this trigger like a gun. I know, it's like a bazooka. and you put this where the crack is between the rim and the tire and you blow air uh i don't have any unbeaded tires but i will try and show you so you open this valve so you allow air to go in so now it's filling up it's got a meter over here we'll just put what whatever is going in here like 65 70 psi and then we shut this you can fill this up to 110 psi is what they say but i just filled it to 60 psi and then when you're ready to blow air you push that trigger right there so pretend that this bead this tire is off the bead and off the rim you would take this and you would put this part on the rim i have this flipped upside down that's right you do that and so this opening goes right into the crack right All right. And of course. i'll just put it here okay you just pull this trigger watch wow it's crazy isn't it yeah so that's pretty cool so GingerSnap thanks for the bazooka she also sent me assorted magnets you know like if you drop your ---- in an engine compartment you could just like get your tool or your bolt and you magnetize it and you pull it out that's what she said like three different sizes Flex coil two, three of them. These are very useful. I have some somewhere. Problem having my garage is I got so much ----. I can't find anything. And I always wanted this. A claw. Grab ----. Not craw, craw. My name is the craw. The craw? Not the craw. The craw. Oh, yes, the craw. She's got me a wireless microphone, you know, lavalier for influencers. I have a few of these. I never use them. Because the nature of my videos, the camera's always super close to me because I'm fixing ----, right? So you never have a problem really hearing me. Not to mention, people tell me I'm kind of loud and obnoxious. So a lavalier is like for something where you're really far away from the camera. Sometimes I use it. I have one of these too. Make a funnel you know it's like um lead or bendable metal whatever rubber coated and you can make your own funnel so when you take out the thing the oil comes out of the engine and doesn't get all over the place and it funnels into a container. So these are always very useful too. I'm gonna put this away in a place where I know I can find it again because Because my other one... i lost it for like two years and then finally i found it she got me a hose removal pliers how many times have we tried to take out hoses and it's a pain in the ass so with this hose pliers just put it between the hose and the carburetor and push fluid extractor when you want to extract fluid or suck oil out of somewhere you know to winterize or do an oil change something like that I've had a few of these. None of them worked well. I'll try this sometime soon. She got me a couple of t-shirts and honestly the most creative gift I've gotten in a long time. She sent me a binder with mowers and blowers AI generated images with a personal letter. I'll keep that to myself. Really cool stuff that she made and you could tell That she's been watching for a short time, relatively, but a lot of it. I'll flash these now quickly through a slideshow. Cletus, you know what you are? You're a dipstick. A 14-karat dipstick. those of you who follow my instagram at mowers blowers follow my instagram i'll be displaying a few of these every now and then so that you guys could see the talent that she has and the attention to detail if you look at the image you'll see all the things that have been incorporated in my videos over the past eight years it's really very impressive i got a lot of great laughs out So thanks to Dawn Carr from North Carolina of looking through this binder or Gingersnap for sending me these great gifts. I really appreciate it. It was my birthday the other day and these will all come in very handy. I'll use these in all my future videos. So thank you very much. Hope you guys enjoy the video. Remember to like, share, and subscribe so I can continue to bring you... Picking tractors from Nick and busted engines and an occasional mailbag segment, huh? Have a great day. We'll see you guys next time on mowers and blowers. You guys next time on mowers and blowers and guns.
