My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I saw my brother's pins on your hat. Thank you, it choked me up. Tell Ron he has prayers a plenty and I hope he heals fast. Someone once said we should be born old and grow younger. Car projects are always a labor of love. And FRUSTRATION. Thanks for caring about folks out here.

[scotdixon]

Ron is in my prayers. I'm praying for a fast recovery and fully restored mobility.

I just graduated from high school and my Aunt had a Cougar like that. My uncle just left for Vietnam and bought that for her to drive. We went to visit her and she let me drive it around on a Saturday night. I thought I was the coolest guy around. My dad thought she was nuts, but she said “it’s a car-he’ll be fine”. This was his sister by the way. Love those cars.

My friend had a 67 Couger with a 390 4 barrel carb back in the early 80’s when I was in high school. We used 1/4 tank of gas going out for lunch!😂 That car is a masterpiece! Do what you need to do to make her whole and hang on to it!!

the Cougar tailights are very cool also. I drove a 68 Cougar for 32 years, great cars

About your Cougar, having restored many 60’s Mustangs and Cougars, I’d like to share a tip: 95% of the time the reason the floor pans rot out is because of the “pillow assy.” Of the cowl vent in front of the windshield. The cowl vent pillow assy spans the width of the car and is in fact a duct for the fresh air coming into the cowl vent to feed it to the kick panel vents on each side of the passenger compartment. Any water that enters the vent is supposed to exit via drains on each end of the pillow assy to drain the water down inside each front fender. Problem is this: those assy’s were never primed inside or painted from the factory. They start to rust when the car leaves the assembly line and is parked outside. Secondly, when they applied seam sealer to the body before the front fenders were mounted, they plugged those drains fully or partially. And lastly, but most often, since there is no screen under the cowl vent grid, leaves and debris enters through the vent grid and cannot be removed, eventually plugging the drains. Rain and other water accumulates in there and continues to rot the bottom of the pillow assembly, eventually perforating it allowing water drain onto the carpet saturating the pad and rotting the floor pans out. Most people think it’s the windshield gasket leaking and try to seal around the gasket or replace it, never realizing the actual cause of the water incursion. Can’t tell you how many times when I worked in garages in the late 60’s and 70’s people asked me to seal the water leaks around their windshields. We would lay a light on top of the cowl vent then look up under the dash and it would look like a starry night from all the pin holes. There are many vids (and methods) on how to repair or mitigate this problem, or you can buy a clear lexan plate that covers the cowl vent to end further water incursion. Failure to do either will result in your new floor pans and carpet getting wet again if it rains on the car or you wash it. BTW, the other causes for the remaining 5% of floor (and trunk) pan rotting is rust rot at the base of the windshield or back glass, or the car was parked on dirt for many years and moisture rotted the pans from the outside in. Good Luck with the repair. It’s a nice car. Problem is, old Lee Iococa never designed them to last.

Thoughts and prayers going out for your husband.
All the pins are cool.

Ron won't known himself after the hip surgery, I had my hip done on a Monday an out of hospital on Tuesday night best thing ever that's after 18 months of crutches and wheel chair, Then went on to have both my knees replaced, 7 years later still pain free . Cheers from Australia Mick

[jimputnam]

Love the Corvette, I was a GM mechanic for 22 years worked on a lot of them. Every thing is hard to get at and work on, BUT the test drive afterwords is awesom. 😁

[richschuster]

I had a ‘68 or ‘69 Cougar in high school (1975-76). That vehicle you have is a keeper! Harold! The cutters are a priceless and innovative idea.

[samtrolinder]

the demo on the cordless inflator sent me to amazon where i bought 3 at $5o for prime members & i gave 2 away to our kids that run in their scooter clubs! thx

[donkrusenklaus]

Thanks for the tire inflator info, I have airbags on my truck and that will be perfect for adjusting them with different loads.
Not picking just wanted to let you know. The military rank pin on your hat is upside down. The chevrons point up.
Keep up the good work. 🙏🏻 for his knee surgery.

[AlessandroGuabello]

Hi chickanic, my best lawnmower ever owned is stihl 655, weibang lawnmower is good lawnmower but the thing to rise up and down always gave me headaches, im glad my stihl lawnmower never gave me in headaches

[kylepurvis]

Hey wishing Ron good luck on his hip replacement! I just had the surgery 10days ago. Highly recommend the anterior hip replacement technique! If he has any questions please reach out I’d be happy to give him my real life experience.

[iscfijm]

Thanks for the heads up on the tire inflator. Picking one up to leave at home for the wife so it would be super easy for her or my kiddos to inflate bike tires. Awesome price. Prayers for your hubby and his upcoming surgery.

[TinMan]

I’ve bought 3 of those little compressors so far and gave 2 away as gifts. Pumped up 5 trailer tires to 60 psi each and still had half the power charge left. I agree with your recommendation. 🫡

[rudolphguarnacci]

First, i was cracking up at Harold's bag o' knives. And i ordered the tire inflator. The pins are another great part of today's video. Thanks, everybody, Harold and Bre.

[jamesedwards]

I had a hip done 2 years ago in December. It has turned out to be one of the best things I have done. Much more comfortable now.

[smithwesson]

Thank you for reviews of the GOOLOO products! Today I did order the GOOLOO GT4000 car/truck battery jump starter for my family vehicle and also may be able to help someone else in a bind.
