@@TheBook500 haha right they do a good too don’t they? sometimes older is better.

@@mjg263 yeah they definitely do

@@Tristanblair2000 wish I could find one of those mulching plates. Mine came with the bag adaptor but no bag, so I bought a used “sawed off” side chute that works great - I just have to make sure not to aim it at people or cars lol!

I love the HRS-21 . It’s quiet and cuts very well . My best make it possible for me to acquire this mower . I plane to keep until I can’t fix it anymore.

Great vintage mower. Instead of letting it idle to cool off, turn off the gas and let it run dry. This will let it cool down and also keep the carb from clogging up from fuel sitting in it.

@@billdeblaey6078 thank for the info I’ll try it

@@cefarther3945 that’s what I’m going to do so It don’t rot

I think they are both great mowers.

No problem glad to help. I’d give this one a try

This is definitely a nice mower with a classic vintage look. And if it’s in a humid environment, I would definitely recommend putting a seal on the handle just in case it does warp. Wouldn’t hurt to put extra protection on it , because I’m not sure if these handles are pre-treated or not I’m gonna assume if they aren’t.

What do you do with cuttings? Do you recommend raking once cut?

@@brendaelliott9767 If you want to a reel mower It’s best to month pretty frequently. You really want to cut a little bit off the grass they’re not like your lawnmower if you mow pretty regularly you really don’t even have to rake your grass, but they do make a grass catcher for these mowers.

You’re absolutely right on that . They me things to last

They were but after I used it a couple times it loosened right up . I guess it had to break In .

I haven’t seen any other videos on this one ether. It’s actually a nice mower too .

I’ve owned several old reel mowers. What I’ve learned is that if your blades are nice and sharp and they are sharpened and adjusted correctly they work really well and they’re not hard to push at all . They’re just about as easy as these newer ones, of course the older one are made better and weigh a lot more . But you really don’t wanna let your grass get too tall if you’re gonna use one of these because then it’ll be really hard and take a long time to cut the grass but if you stay on top of it, I think it delivers the best cut.

I yeah love both the them . You should get one and try it out . It gives you a more old school feel

It’s pretty loud too . It’s a “WeatherAlert” TA-45

Are you talking about the 2 triangles between “60 and 70” and between “110 and 130” ? If so, those were the old civil defense frequencies that were used in the 50s and early 60s in the event of like a nuclear attack. Apparently, if there was like an attack on United States. You would tune your radios to 640 or 1240.

Yeah, this radio is absolutely phenomenal for picking up stuff especially at night

I really would like to get the AM/FM version of this. I love this radio a lot.

Hey I’m glad you enjoy my content

That I was safe

@@Tristanblair2000 that’s good.

Nope . I’m surprised I was getting WXK-27 because normally I don’t get it

@@Tristanblair2000 okay, but are you saying that WNG649 doesn’t actually get alerts from the national weather service office in Austin/San Antonio?

@@eaa9466 I haven’t heard any that was from that office. It’s mostly Fort Worth or League city . That most what I hear but it it doesn’t make any sense because League city is further than Austin San Antonio

@@Tristanblair2000 I mean I go onto the national weather service website to look up station WNG649 and his transmitter says he covers Lee and Williamson counties from the Austin/San Antonio office. I don’t know if it’s true or if the transmitter is listening junk, because there has been other stations where their transmitter shows that it covers a county that it doesn’t actually cover. Do you know what I mean?

All my radio are set to WXK-35 I will be mixing them up some in WXK-35 and some on WNG-649 . I have one radio set to WNG-649 It didn’t go off because the reception was bad

@@Tristanblair2000 okay which radio did you set to WNG649?

@@eaa9466 my 120 is now .

@@Tristanblair2000 okay great.

@@eaa9466 I’ll have some of WNG 649 and WXK 35

I’ll be monitoring tomorrow

@@Tristanblair2000 okay. Be sure to record most of the EAS alerts on station wng649 if you can.

No problem I like to preserve that history

I HAVE THE SAME RADIO 📻 ONLY THE MODEL NUMBER IS 1642 WITHOUT THE A AND NO LOG SCALE ON THE TUNER

I think I can start doing that before I am stuck between 2 noaa wether stations

@@Tristanblair2000 okay great. 🙂

Yeah I know that was my very first radio I got . It was my grandpas and he gave it to me when I was 7 years old .

I did found out that Maxon WX-70 that it had a siren

I’ll have to go look when I get the chance this evening

@@Tristanblair2000 okay, you should check it out because it’s my first real EAS alert that I recorded on that station.

The 247 A or 247 B

The 247a

@@austinvance9260 alrighty

@@austinvance9260 soon as I find time I will I have to find because I have it put up somewhere

I just figured it out the Radio shack 12-247a was next to that Midland weather radio that I saw in the video

That was who said that message ?

@@Tristanblair2000 Yes that's who does alerts for North Texas

@@kathleenschwartz5303 (In my opinion) I perfer that if there are alerts on AM/FM to just let the noaa weather radio voice (Paul voice) say the alert on am/fm instead of a live voice. Don’t you think?

@@eaa9466 I’m personally fine with both but the old NWR voice was the best

Yes you did .

@@Tristanblair2000 yeah but I don’t think I got to tell you what happened about why they did that, am I correct?

@@eaa9466 yeah you told they changed the transmitter sound. This station hadn’t changed and WNG-649 has no transmitter noise. Of course it is 600 watt transmitter too.

@@Tristanblair2000 yes, What happened was one day I was listening to the station but the station started going out (going off the air) I was losing the station’s signal, then the station went out. Then later the station was fixed but when I listen to station KEC56, the transmitter sound was not loud anymore. I don’t like how it’s quiet now because it doesn’t really match up with the other stations anymore. I perfer when the transmitter sound on station KEC56 was louder so it would match up with the other stations. I really miss how the transmitter sound on station KEC56 used to sound like especially since the transmitter sound was always loud over the years :(

@@eaa9466 like my my station

I will

@@Tristanblair2000 yeah because I really want to know how it works when an alert from the national weather service office in Austin/San Antonio on this station.

@@eaa9466 I have another one uploading

@@Tristanblair2000 how much longer until it uploads?

I didn’t know that

@@Tristanblair2000 it’s true, look at the full cycle video of station KEC56 that I made last year and the video of the DFW stations off the air video I made in February. Compare those 2 videos and you will see the difference.

No but I’m Still listening to see if any some up

@@Tristanblair2000 I don’t know if any more alerts will come in because the storms have already passed, but you can keep listening just in case.

@@eaa9466 I uploaded a WNG-649 alert

Indeed it was .

I haven’t herd of that

@@Tristanblair2000 it’s true because back then the voice used to say Bryan-College Station (not only on this station but other DFW stations), but now it just says College Station, and the location Austin uses to come after the location Bryan-Collage Station, it was not part of the elsewhere around the region locations but today now Austin is part of the elsewhere around the region locations. They also added in 2 new locations called Caldwell (the location that comes after Collage Station) and the second one is Taylor (the location that comes before Georgetown). This station’s location makes a lot more sense now because back then the locations didn’t make that much sense, mainly because of how the location Austin wasn’t park of the elsewhere around the region locations when that place is more than 1 hour from Cameron, compared to Waco is only 59 minutes away from Cameron and that location is part of the elsewhere around the region locations when Waco is a lot closer to Cameron than Austin. But now the locations are a lot better because it talks about the locations only from what counties it covers or what other areas are close to Cameron.

@@eaa9466 oh yeah I totally forgot all about that . Your right . I remember when it used to say “Bryan College Station”

@@Tristanblair2000 yeah unfortunately when I started getting interested in weather radios they had already changed Bryan-College Station to just College Station a long time ago.

@@eaa9466 shoot I miss the old voices that used to be on the broadcast. Used to have 3 voices .

Pretty much and i look around on eBay .

@@Tristanblair2000 nice

You got it man . One broadcast cycle coming right up . What version you want ? V2, V3 or, V5

@@eaa9466 alright so the version 5 alright I’ll do it

@@eaa9466 it’s uploaded
