Getting SH!T Done! 3 Briggs Engine Teardown sending out fixed equipment and getting more Wood!

Welcome to another video. As you know, recently I have fixed my friend Alan's Billy Goat blower friends Aaron's Deluxe 28 snow blower got to do you guys saw what We did, we got my hydraulic lift table to lift up those two things, use my ramps from sketchy but I would try it worked out great 5.7 Cummins make a lot of get ---- done videos Do you guys have a lot of ---- to do? Because literally, I wake up in the morning and I've got like all kinds of things in the back of my mind that I gotta accomplish. Like a to-do list. Does everybody that's watching me right now have their own to-do list? If you're not busy every day, You gotta stay active. You'll just wilt away to nothing. Gotta keep yourself busy, especially for a guy my age. I know I don't really look it, But remember, I just turned 58. You think about this. I have, what, 15, 18 more summers left, maybe, if I'm lucky. If you count it that way, you don't have much time. You got to get as much done as possible. Because if you just sit on your ass for the next 18 years, you'll be like this big, have health issues, and then piffed. You're done, Steve. I got to drain the gas out of this thing before I store it for like 500 years. What are we going to do? I whip this out. Excuse me while I whip this out. This is a Toro CCR 2450. I got it from my friend Mike. See you guys next time on Mowing the Hours. I think it runs. Just needs a little bit. That'll be the next episode. Meantime, I got to get these engines out of my garage. What better way than to take it all apart? As you know, I got three blown engines from my friend Nick from Bellport. gives me the engines i gotta take them because this flywheel is worth about 40 bucks and we could always use the parts in case i get a connecting rod sometime and we can put an engine together you know i always use engines we got a lot of haulers without engines i got three of these this is the most complete this has not been taken apart but what's staring me right now in the face behind the throttle bracket it's a huge hole that's what she said As you guys saw from time lapse, I disassembled all three engines. All three engines were obviously blown. The connecting rods were gone. And two out of the three engine blocks were bad. This is the only one that's in good shape. So I'll keep this engine block for a future build. Just showing you the engine block. As you can see, that is intact. The bore area does not have any trauma and it has a decent bore. everything is clean and i don't see any cracks or holes in it so this is a good engine block look even that head gasket looks pretty new i saved a bunch of stuff such as the throttle bracket that always sells for money all my nuts and bolts head and uh sump cover bolts there's another bracket i got like two or three governors that mesh thing one starter motor two starters Two flywheels, one with a fan. In addition, I also have one good sump cover that has the half-moon semi-circle kind that I need, so that's definitely worth it. There's the other governor, some push rods. These two pistons were actually decent, so I'm going to keep the pistons. Obviously the connecting rods are Dunsky. Here's a cylinder head, assumably is good, and two good crankshafts that are on synchro balancers. that are in decent shape obviously you have the aluminum transfer on the journal but that can be smoothed out as i've done many times before so these parts i will keep for a future engine build and here's a box with the other two that are dunsky that area there the hole where the cam goes in that's trashed and there is a hole in the side of this one these two engine blocks are dunsky and as you can see here hi Here is a camshaft that is Benzki. All other kinds of trauma going on over there. Thousands and thousands of pieces, tappets and stuff. That's trashed. I'm just going to throw this out on the curb. Somebody will pick it up for dirty aluminum. So what we did today, my friend Alan picked up his billy goat blower, his friend Santana came and picked up his newly fixed head gasket snowblower. I found some white pieces of trim and stuff that I just covered up the shed a little bit. Took out one of my LT1000s that I'm planning on putting this deck onto after I fix that deck. So that's a future episode coming too. Mowed my lawn, although I think water got into the gas tank because it sputtered at times. And took apart three blown single-cylinder Briggs engines for parts. Now, on to the next thing, because getting ---- done never ends. Looks like I'll be getting some new firewood soon. Hey, fellas. So, as you saw, my neighbor over there is having a tree cut down by the town. It's dead. Which means that the wood is almost nice and dry. It's perfect firewood for me. As you guys know, I got a new log splitter. Instead of driving really far to get firewood, I got it on the next block. So I'm going to take Sketchy over there and see if we can load up some wood logs. And then get to use our log splitter in the future. Alright, I'm at my neighbor's house, Gerberth. Fixed his snowblowers last year. Uh, those guys didn't really cut up these logs too much. How am I gonna get something like this by myself into the bed without a chainsaw and I didn't bring one. Guess I'll try to take stuff that I could carry and put into the truck bed and then chop it up when I get home. Oh boy. That was tough. As you saw the guys that chopped the tree down did not chop them into manageable pieces. They were all huge pieces. All of it. And huge, huge logs were buried under. Stuff that I could have moved, but I couldn't move the big logs. Dogs. Dogs. Sometimes they were like 10 feet, 15 feet long. Dogs. And while I did try to get some big trunks over there, I even thought about picking this up. But I didn't want to hurt myself. These things are really heavy. Could probably take that one. But honestly, I took a lot of stuff already. I didn't think I was going to get so much. I walked over here. Might as well take this one. The thing is, I didn't think to bring my chainsaw because all I have is the electric one, but then I thought about it some more and I think I left my gas chainsaw and my badger at my mom's house. And all I have are mini chainsaws, which of course would do nothing for stuff this size. I need my gas one for sure. Maybe the thin ones, the... The badger one would probably manage, but I mean, I think I did well, given the fact that, you know, I'm by myself. These things are all super heavy, the big ones at least, but I could have managed some more, but I didn't want to hurt myself. And that's the thing. At my age, I shouldn't be, I have no business doing this anyway, but you know, when you got free firewood that's ready to burn, I try to get it, you know, even this one here, this one looks manageable, I think it'll still be really heavy. yeah i moved it out a little but it's too heavy for me to even lift up and lift up into where i can't lift it up past my shoulders and put it on there so i think this will be good for now i'm just gonna unload this in my driveway this time and uh slowly go to town on some of it move it to the backyard eventually but yeah this is this was a dead tree that's been here for a long time and so the arborist of the town comes about from neighborhoods and with complaints too from you know residents they put a green dot to signal that this is a tree uh scheduled for cut down and so the guys today were actually not from the town they were contracted by the town like ass plung i think another crew may come and chop this into little smaller pieces i'm not sure but either way uh i talked to my buddy gerberth who lives here he says yeah man come and take whatever you want I mean I could definitely use more but I don't think I could manage any more right now. I can't lift any of those things and I don't really want the branches. I have plenty of branches. I want I want these. I want these thick trunks right here but I can't lift it by myself. I need a chainsaw which I don't have and I haven't been to my mom's in like a month. I really should go and pick up that chainsaw. Anyway I'm gonna go home now and throw this on my driveway. But now I'm dead. You think I'm done? No siree. I'm going to see what happens in the next few days about what happens to the rest of that wood and maybe I might take a trip to my mom's to pick up my chainsaws. I'm not sure but I'd like to get more if I can. Hey a lot of people pay a lot of money for split firewood. I got a log splitter and the wood is the next block. How can I not go get it right? It's not like I gotta drive far away to get it. I got a pickup truck. That's what we have That's what you have pickup trucks for, it's the good ----. His name's Henry. Um, mowers and blowers. Mowers and blowers. Ha, ha, ha, ha.
