Hey mate, quick question. Did those concreters use bar chairs on that rebar in the first part of the video? It looks like when they walk across the rebar, it doesn't flex down or move the rest of the mesh... If that mesh isn't raised, it's not even reinforced concrete anymore. You just have mesh sitting on dirt :( ready to rust

Congratulations on your retirement…I spent the first 50 years of my life in the US Air Force and have loved our home in the country piddling in the yard!

Do the stihl fs80 have a screen in the muffler?

I think it's nice, very functional and great to have rescued it.❤

fukin lovit

It cannot be that rare, i have owned two of them., i would like a third one. The Victa two stroke, best thing to come out of Australia, Holden was mzde by General Motors, which is an American company, likewise Vegemite made by Kraft another American company.

Hi what size is the shed?

Its easier to install the pull start cord onto the reel with it running through the handle guide stop, Then remove the guide stop screws to rotate the reel and tension it that way, By using the cord notch on top etc. Then lastly reinstall the cord guide / stopper and thats it ! 😂

Sean, I hope you've had your tetanus shot! =)

bada**! mouth was hanging open many times, mind-blown!

Hey there! I have a 505 that has just lost compression when I pull the pull cord, any advice on what to look at first?

Aahh, delicious 2 stroke 😋👍

Yep that's one kick arse Victa gOOD sTUFF !

Wish I could get bearings for Victa mowers in the UK at that price ,that bearing is £22.00 the ones on the drive shaft are £25.00 the 505 model and the master catch have different size drive shafts ,the bearings for the wheels on a master catch 510 are specific to Victa 28 14 8 standard off the shelf bearings are 28 15 8 both same number 6002

Just found your channel I have Victa mowers 1 is a 505 pro 1 master catch 510 and a brand new 510 never been started ,one of the last ones in the UK in 2008 ,also have 2 Victa mulch masters in working order and a couple that need work on them, thers also a Victa Super 600 ,I'm looking out for a Victa Super 700 with a JALO 2STROKE Engine

How about checking oil level

good onya mate. all the best

nice🎉

Good video, really interesting mower. Shame you find it necessary to be wearing thongs around a mower. I don't know why people can't put a pair of boots, some safety glasses and ear muffs on before getting behind the mower. If not for your own safety then for the good example for people watching. Otherwise really interesting video.

That does it. I’m buying a power washer!!!

I realize this is an old video but I’m just seeing it for the first time, doing some u tube research while trying to restore a 12 drawer beat up rusty greasy parts cabinet. Having watched my dad and my x hammer metal a bit laying the cabinet on it’s side and beating that bent lip into submission might have worked better for you! Just a suggestion for anyone else with the same dilemma

Hydrochloric acid removes all rust Pool acid and silicon expansion chamber paint 30 dollars do 4 exhausts in one can wont burn off and get a Honda style pull start heaps better generic brand...All from ya local hardware...

WOW!

What's with the brush? There is this great new invention called a compressor that makes compressed air. Great for blowing crap out of equipment.😁

You paid too much. If it wasn't working anymore they should have just given it to you. Or at minimum $20-$30

I have this same machine and because of the ethanol in the gas here in the US I have had to replace my carburetor several times about every 2 to 3 years.

Love your song, waltzing matilda. wow you are the craftsman, handy to have around!!!

Outstanding

i have 10 mowers now its disease all 2 strokes. you cant beat em. great stuff mate

What I was hoping to see was how to remove the spark arrestor screen.

I very new to this, so you used a drill bit to get rid of the old screws and then just got new screws that fit ?

Good information! I knew about sharpening but not the balancing part. Thanks 😊 You're the best ❤

What's better the 505 or 550

Good to see other AJs doing cool stuff!

Thanks for going to the effort to film the construction and your plans. Cheers

Did you have the model number?

Love this. Could you list some of the items you used in the description?

What are you spraying the exhaust with at 7:42-8:19?

A few wobblies in the sheet metal is character. That piece clearly has a history.

Maybe an air compressor to blow out the dirt. .

Hard flat steel and a steel hammer or mallet will straighten those edges much easier. That's what the car repair guys use.

This is the first restoration video I have watched, in general, and of yours specifically. I enjoyed it! You may have sparked an interest I didn't know I had. Thanks!! I have enjoyed your lawncare videos & now I look forward to watching your restoration videos. How will I ever get chores done? 😄

Job well donec

Bang up job on the cabinet mate :-) Glad you saved it from the scrap pile. They don't make em like they used to. That one sounds nice and solid. Old school quality. Plenty of life left in the old girl.

Hi

So this is where the wolverine lives 👍

Mate that looks really good. What is the size of the shed and where did you purchase from? and thickness of the slab, please?

Just found this second chanel of yours Sean. Mower restos are a favourite of mine. Will get stuck into this channel definitely

What an amazing restoration! I love that you took something old and unloved and turned it into something useful! Great job!
