CAN WE REPAIR AND FLIP A £100 TRACTOR MOWER FOR A PROFIT?

Can we flip a £100 lawn tractor mower for a decent profit?

Thank you to my Patrons

I have discovered that you can grease the pulley bearings as well as the sealed deck bearings that are loud, but not wobbly, using a needle fitting on a grease gun. As long as they are not rusted on the inside, it works great and I get an amazing amount more life out of them. All it cost is a few squirts of grease. Just be careful not to damage the plastic seals. In fact, I grease them about every other year and have not had one go bad since starting it about 7 or 8 years ago. I'm not saying you shouldn't have replaced them. I'm just saying that it's an option. Not all bearings can be saved.

Glad you’re back with a new video! I love this channel. Other channels remove a part and don’t bother to clean it, which would only take a few minutes. That really triggers me for some reason lol. You already have it apart, just clean it!

Good job on that flip. I had a pretty good one recently as well. I had a Craftsman R1000 mower that I recently sold. It was given to me as a parts machine. The steering was out and one of the tires was off the rim, and the rim was damaged. I replaced the steering gear, tire and rim, and serviced it. My total cost was around $70, and I sold it for $500. It is so much fun flipping them when you made good money doing it. Your profit was phenomenal when considering the amount of work you had to do to this one. Mine was in near mint condition, besides the aforementioned issues. The previous owner just thought the issue was a much larger problem than it was.

My grandpa had the basic Briggs and Stratton version of this mower. Didn't have the hood vents, the indicator lights on the wheel, or the Lawnflite badges, but it had the same engine. Seems that this one was just the fancy export version of the same 1992 mower. Just seeing this mower brought back memories of childhood summers spent either riding the mower with grandpa when I was small, or having grandpa watch as I mowed the yard myself. I miss that mower, it was dependable.

I can’t believe how relatively rust-free that mower deck was after 31 years

The dashboard reminds me of the gauge cluster on '84-'88 Toyota Hilux and 4runners (grid pattern)..strong 80's "Back To The Future" kinda vibe to it

That is definitely a cool looking mower that you are fixing up😊

Absolutely loved the video, reminded me of Wheeler Dealers only with tractors. Definitely should try and do this again!

Another successful project my friend, thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!

So nice watching and learning from these videos. I bought a house last year that came with a ride-on mower which was not in a really good shape, but it ran. Watching your videos has given me enough insight in what to do for various problems, and I've managed to get it a bit better. Not replaced any parts yet though, but I suspect it needs new blades as it cuts quite uneven. Also had the joy of finding out what happens if an engine is overfilled with oil. (The dipstick was impossible to read, seemed to be almost empty when it actually was about 50% overfilled)

This is identical to a White LT165 lawn mower. Even has the stallion in the front headlight. Both were made by MTD
