Just want to thank everyone for watching and the few that have bought coffees to help support the surgery for my dog, that really means alot and I thank you all very very much from the bottom of my heart!!🐶❤️
Wonder if you saw the crack in the opposite side of the frame at 1:08 24
obs you don't ride a motorcycle. if you did you would respect the riders . always mow to the inside
@@very5ick112 it’s a private road we don’t have motorcycles drive down it unless it’s me on my goldwing, however I blew the grass of the road off camera👍
@@TheHomePros6221 we dont care
@@very5ick112 I don’t care if you care I was just responding to your stupid comment
I’m 69 years old and Most everything I own had to restored. I look at them with pride and achievement
I was the same way when I was young. I tried to repair and save everything, even when people said it couldn't be done. If people continue to live with a throw away attitude, the end will be here a lot sooner!! When you know what hits the fan, I know you will be one of the few that will be left standing!!! God bless you and your family!!! Be safe my friend!!!
I totally agree
You should take your mower and write "The Home Pros" in the grass underneath those transmission lines and capture it with your drone.
hahaha love that idea!!
Im honestly addicted to this series on the mower can’t get enough of it , love that your giving it another life to cut grass and lay down some stripes !
😊😊thanks
Those rims need sand blasting, priming with etching primer and several coats of enamel. Excellent job saving the machine.
Maybe Powder Coat would cost about the same and a better job
yes, I agree. I will probably do that when I paint the machine right now I just got a primer coat on them.
First class work, as I've come to expect. If (when...) that gearbox on the deck starts leaking, you can use corn head grease in it instead of gear oil. Tractor Supply should have it. It's a light grease that get's very fluid when up to operating temp but thick enough not to leak so much.
Great tip all the seals and bearings are good so it shouldn’t leak 🤞
A tutorial on patience and perseverance and problem solving skills- Sorry to see this one end ,you taught me a lot
😊 thank you very much!
What I like about your videos is that you fix, or restore to the end. People want to see all the way to restore, not to just will it run. Best of luck
😊
Great job young man, you’re getting to enjoy the fruits of your labor. That’s kind of why old guys always yell to the kids to get off their grass, a lot of hard work goes into a project whether mowing a yard all nice or fixing a lawnmower like you did. You have really good patience and whoever taught you, was worth their weight in gold. If you’re self taught by tinkering, congratulations. You’re mechanically brilliant. Good video series. 👍
Thanks 👍 I am completely self taught
US based MartyT. You guys are exactly the same. Cheers from Finland.

Another brilliant resurrection. That certainly is one robust machine. I love how you can take off an old part like that hydraulic cylinder, disassemble it, and rebuild it with new parts and have it as good as new. Because back in the day you got real quality. Try that with the tin can and plastic junk made today. You used to buy a machine and it was built like a tank. Now you get something that has Bluetooth and a cup holder for your soy latte but falls apart in a strong wind. Sad. I am also fascinated by the collection of tools you have for your projects. And the ones you craft yourself. Very interesting. I always enjoy your great videos and look forward to the next monstrosity that needs your help. I vote that you do decide to paint this treasure. Something this impressive deserves to look good too.
" Congratulations" on bring her back to live another day/s! As you brought her back mechanically, let her be at her very best and painting her.
Enjoyed watching this video! I’m 68 yr old welder / fabricator. Owned and operated my welding business repair many mower deck and bush hog decks. Worst enemy to a deck is not removing cuttings from the top of the deck. The cuttings left will cause a chemical reaction and literally start eating the metal. Why didn’t I say causes rust it is in a sense it is caustic rusting. Looks like you have a mowing “Beast”! Good to see the ole girl doing her job!
yes sir u got that rite!
My oh my......another great and awesome video on bringing the heavy duty mower back to life. What a beast. Of course a new paint job would not be complete without adding a suicide knob to the steering wheel on that rascal. Maybe skip the paint job and just add the spinner to the steering wheel. "Jesus take the wheel" kinda thing. Take care. I'm a big fan of your channel and talents.
haha I actually put a spinner knob on it after filming I wish I would have got that in the vid, I have them on every machine w a steering wheel lol
Another enjoyable video and restoration. They are really well-made commercial mowers that use quality gauge steel. Their downfall was always improper cleaning and maintenance as wet grass made them rot. Many thanks for sharing. Loved the James Condon style into " hello guys and welcome back"
James Condon's channel is awesome👍
thank you very much my friend!!😊😊
I really enjoy the way you approach these machines to repair them, methodical and your videos are to the point:) Your videos are worth the wait. I hope the best for your dogs injury. God Bless
thank you so much
An excellent and worthwhile repair Sir. Just finished a Toro machine like the Ransomes with the same engine. Tough and reliable and no stupid electrics. Easy in tight spaces too. Glad to see you young man not junking good machines. Turn eighty now and still at it; that is what keeps you young. God bless and take care of your beautiful Dogs. Oh yes Ransomes hails from near Ipswich UK and is a very old company. My family made farm implements and traction engines going back 250 years or more and have been associated with them in the past. Best from the UK.
That’s awesome. I actually found two Toro ground master’s that both have the Mitsubishi did diesel engine in them. Also I’m thinking about going to get them.
In lieu of all of the schlocky junk that is being schlepped over from china and then marked up 2500 percent, it was more than gratifying seeing you bring this well-made older machine back to life.
thank you my friend!
Very therapeutic to watch this resurrection through your meticulous work.
😊😊❤️
My pup needed her ACL repaired and the vet used fishing line to replace the ligament and that was 9 years ago. My dog is a Maltese but the repair is holding/woking fine.
oh wow that’s cool
I’ve been watching this from the beginning of the revival.This is a cool machine to bring back to life.
sure is!
This machine cost whatever organization bought it years ago a huge pile of money (taxpayers or whomever) so it's great to see you pulling it from the jaws of the shredder. Some basic maintenance would have kept it in service many more years but I guess it's easy to give up on something that a company or municipality is okay with just replacing! A quality machine like this is almost endlessly rebuildable, as you proved. Outstanding video, my friend. Very inspiring.
thank you so much!!
Nice job indeed ! Watching you restoring this machine makes me think about an other channel that shares kinda same spirit "marty t".
thank u my friend
Too bad about your dog. We have a 140 pound Rottweiler that tore his acl while playing one day last year. Never heard such a yelp from the dog. He was in serious pain so we took him to an emergency vet clinic that night. They put him on pain killers and a no movement protocol except to do his business until they could do the surgical repair. It was not cheap...about $ 6,000. That's here in MD, you may find better pricing where you are. I would advise not to wait too long before getting it repaired. All that stress on the other leg can cause it to happen again. Once they do surgery she'll be in the cone of shame for a while and be restricted to very little movement until she starts to heal. Plan on at least a month of recovery!!
I love your videos. Please use the shield on your angle grinder. You don't want to know how it feels to be hit by a broken cutting disk in your face or torso 🙏
👍👍
Noted!
Darrell, what an amazing job on this old Industrial Diesel Mower. It’s hard to believe that you brought this thing back to life. I have to say though, “I knew you would, you always do”. Great video, keep them coming.
Thank you very much!
Amazing what people throw away. What's more amazing, is people like you who bring them back to life. I love working on old garden tractors from the 60 & 70s, I'll have to keep an eye out for something like that. Great job!
I know it’s crazy. Thank you very much.
You have done a fantastic job restoring this left to dead 30 pluse years diesel mower ..the only thing left is to remove all the rust and give this mower what it deserve a nice baby blue paint job to bring it to it's former glory ..looking forward to see that happening soon.till then keep up the good work and good luck.
No e in plus.
Great rescue of a mean machine. Just a note, being a motorcyclist, it's appreciated if you blow the clippings off the road. Especially in corners.
Love the content. Some these old machines are better build than what’s out now.
got that rite!
Your videos never disappoint. Excellent work as always. Spending the time on all the little details fittings, seals, and grease fitting paid off on a machine that’s going to last many more years. Can’t wait for the next one. Thanks for sharing 😎🇺🇸
Wow, thank you!
A spray bottle filled with water is handy when you weld. That engine is making that land mower a beast. Will cut through any weed as it was not there.
Yessirr it sure is
@@TheHomePros6221 .. Greetings from Norway 🙂
With the hydraulic systems on this mower, this was a helluva project, but was worth it since it is a really unusual and useful mower.
you got that rite
Man you can fix anything!! Great video brother!
thank you very much
Made in Milwaukee, WI; my home town, when quality meant something. We used these for cutting the 'rough' on golf courses when I worked for the Milwaukee County park service. These are high-quality mowers that professionals use. Please🙏 don't beat it up using it like a brush-hog.
Would be like using a butchers knife to chop wood.
Whatever you want to say. Quality like this is not made anymore. These old machines are just so solid.
you got that rite!
I was a groundskeeper for Bennett College back in the 1980's. We used a Hinomoto tractor with a Woods mowing deck under it. That deck looked just like your Ransome deck, mowed exactly like that, awesome!!
Ohh if you like hinomoto boy do I have a surprise for you coming up on the channel!
Yeeees!@@TheHomePros6221
These older machines make you feel good to own and use verses most of the new stuff that just leaves you disappointed.
Great job on the mower and excellent video. The only thing that worried me was the severe rust on the chassis rails, I hope they don’t snap in half on you. Cheers from AUS 🇦🇺🦘
actually the frame rails were rust free the only stuff that was rusty was the seat, a small area at the throttle lever and we’re they welded that big c channel to the frame but the actual frame is as strong as a truck frame😊
Good job on getting that machine back to working condition. Check out some of the newer designs on the chute cover. Hopefully you can install it so you don’t blow debris in the road or against cars and homes.
thanks
Nice jobe done. Looks like you like the machine that much that you start mowing the whole country side. When mowing next to a road, drive in such a way that the grass blows away from it.
Thanks 👍
nice job of the top mower. i have a similar mower (Jacobsen Out Front Commercial mower with a FORD 1.1 engine). But seems already much better designed.
Thanks for sharing your vids.
oh man that sounds like an interesting mower. I gotta check those out.
Great job Home Pros! You brought that thing back to life! 💪😎
You got that right!
Ransom from England built quality agriculture machinery great video as always 🇬🇧🇮🇪.
thank you
That one cool mower, i have no use for one but wood like one!!!!!!
I love it😊
You did a great job breathing new life into an abandoned machine like that. If we did more of this and just maintained machines better, there would be less junk in the scrap piles and filling up our landfills.
As far as painting the machine, how about doing a bed liner all over it. Much tougher than paint. Raptor Liner makes a really nice one you can do at home and you can even color tint it.
that’s a really cool idea!!
You are definitely a good mechanic... you cutting all that grass along the highway, I was waiting to see a sign that said, Welcome to Kansas...
haha 😊
This channel is definitely top ten on CZcams
aw man thank you so much!!
Another incredible rescue...so enjoyable to watch ...thank you
Think about putting a rubber gator on that spline shaft a car steering rack should do it cheap and give it all a good prospective paint job with car sill chip paint it's like Raptor bed paint good videos well done
Rubber gator? Please explain better🙂
@@TheHomePros6221 steering bellows, that keep dust out of a rack and pinion.
@@steveww07 gotcha great idea
first time watcher, you are very good, and your videos are awesome too. keep this up I would think you should get way over 100k subscribers. that lawnmower was left for the dead and you bring it back to life.
thank you so much!! that’s really means lot!!
When you’re pouring that hydro fluid out of the 5 gallon bucket with a lid like that turn it 180 and try pouring you will be amazed and you won’t spill any. Someone taught me that and I just thought I would pass along the tip.
I know I know it was just hard to aim it that way
Great work, I have a diesel mower also. You just can't beat their strength and reliability!
Mr Home Pro loved every bit of the resto ,all the best with your dogs surgery and recovery ,thanx for the 1hour and quarter mechanical entretainment ❤ regards Rob.
Awesome video, Thanks for bringing the old girl back to life for another chance. I loved my Toro GroundsMaster 223D, 5 foot cutting deck. It was so fast and it cut the paddock 6ft weeds just as easily and as well as the lawn. I think you will be making any excuse to just jump on her and go mowing :-).
hahah I already do!! I love cutting grass with this machine
Better watch out Nils, Darrel will be the mower king sooon :D :D
Hahahah 🤣
Aww, hope the pups leg gets better, have to make sure you keep her off that leg and no running/jumping for a while.
thank you so much my friend. I appreciate that.
Hey Darrell. Looking forward to this one 😊😊
hey Dave, thank you so much for stopping by. I always appreciate to see you here. Hope you are doing well.
Yeah man those mowers are good ones. The main thing vis to keep on top of maintenance on them basically is all. And it'll last for A long time to. Just like you said I'd paint back green again why not right. After all that's what the original color of it was to begin with. I think it was Forest Green.,or emerald Green.,or Hunter Green we're the paint color codes that was used on those green lawnmowers back then. Cause A lot of them was sprayed powder coated and sprayed clear coat and sealer. I've seen them being sprayed with mixed green powder coating with metallic flakes. In both of the paint and the clear coating sealer together. As the new paint jobs on them. I think it was like Three of them was repainted differently colors though. Two different green ones and one yellow.,or orange colored one to with metallic flakes.
yes sir👍 thank you for the info!!
The amount of videos on CZcams that involves a blown up excavator or skid steer and then they cry on about how much a new or rebuilt engines going to cost them and then you have others who simply go to an old scrap yard and pull 1 of these old piles of junk out the weeds that is a 3 cylinder yanmar or a 4bt or some other ideal diesel engine that just fires up and run perfectly after sitting for 20 years and only cost them a max of $500. It's like those heaters that everyones going all in on. I used to go to junk yards years ago and buy 5 or 10 of these "Night heaters" from junked or crashed Heavy goods vehicles as they were installed in most over night lorry cabs. I'd pick them up for $75 a piece and sell them on for up to $250 a piece. .
😊😊
Awesome, great to see the old girl come back to life and do the job she was well built and designed to do. Thanks for documenting the journey and sharing 👍
OK BRO I GOT ONE THING TO SAY AS A MECHANIC MYSELF , I WOULD HAD TAKING CARE OF EVERY DETAIL. You e already taking the pulleys apart why not painting it really nice make the whole mower look brand new. Honestly to me that's like taking a shower and not changing your boxers after youve had the runs 😂😂
I did take the spindles apart and check bearings ect.. I had to edit a lot of stuff out just cause the video will be hours long and I just didn’t have the time or want to cram painting in cause that’s a huge project in itself, I will paint it though
I know all is about budget. I hope you have plans for a sand blasting cabinet, hydraulic press and a parts washer sink with a pump (saving your back)
I actually have all three of those 😊
@@TheHomePros6221 That is great. Please show us when you use them 😊
I had a Ford cm-272 with a new Holland deck that looked just like this mower. Loved it.
thanks!!
There is a inner satisfaction of bringing old stuff back to life. I loved doing that back in the day
Excellent restoration! I admire your attention to detail and all the "little" things that needed taking care of. In my opinion, you're a pretty good mechanic! Nice job, bud.
Thank you very much!
I like that Ear Plug trick.....
i bet you were working on/tearing up machines as a young lad..and thx for being a great animal lover..they deserve quality of life..
Doing a great job fixing the mower looks great
Thanks
Great job!! On the repairs AND on the video. I always enjoy watching you do your magic. Good luck and health to you and your family. Can't wait for the next project.
thank you so much Jeff glad you could stop bye
Love your videos, and what a cool machine that thing is. If you paint it, please make a video!
I will try
Put alot work in that mower! Turned out to be a very Good job! Love it
thanks
👍👍👌👌❤❤😊😊 Well done! Thanks for the video.
great project. thanks for sharing.
It is beyond me what people throw away sometimes. Even if the mower was complete junk, you just shouldn't be throwing away a good running diesel engine.
Good for you giving it a new lease on life.
I'd try feeding your dog some fish like salmon and mackerel and chicken.
I do both of them are very very spoiled 🐶❤️
Sounds a lot like a ventrac. ❤❤❤
Good job Darrell, very nice mower
thank you!
Nicely done
Thanks!
Awesome job! Great editing as usual. Pleasure to watch.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Our Yorkie has just had the surgery on her rear right cruciate ligament £2600 so far - but she is worth it😮🇬🇧
I’d love to get mine her surgery but money is really tight rite now.. gotta sell some machines off ☹️
In my case that was what plastic was for - only use it for emergencies- this was an emergency 😮🇬🇧
Like your meticulous work , doing stuff the right way
I appreciate that!
Wow, that mower rose from the dead! Love your videos👍👍👍
Thank you so much my friend😊
Well donel I don't understand why some owners don't do the proper maintenance which would allow these machines be handed down to generations. You did an excellent job.
thank you!
Great video and camera job!
Yes it will keep the weather and damp at bay from Rusting the shaft glad to help keep the good work up
Sorry about your dog tearing her ACL.
We had the same problem with a large dog years ago. Vet wanted mega bucks for surgery and gave us a poor prognosis particularly due to the fact that she was a large dog. Apparently those Surgical outcomes are better with smaller dogs.
Obviously in pain/ discomfort or they would not be limping. 🤷🏻♂️
Fortunately after several months our dog stopped limping. She adapted to it quite well and lived for several years only to develop discoid lupus which eventually led to putting her down. Sweet dog.
yeah, I’m not sure what to do. I love my dogs very much. I want the best for them. Sorry to hear about your dog.
Awesome technical restoration 👍
It looks like it was a really well made and expensive machine when it was made.
I really liked the tricks you showed in the hydraulic section like that wooden hydraulic ram clamp and using the thin drink can metal guide to get that that seal in.👍
Alway good to see collecters/users putting these machines back to work again.
You bet
If you’re drilling and taping into an area that needs to be clean put grease on the bits to capture the metal shavings
I use that trick all the time😊
Awesome putting that machine back to work. Thanks for sharing your experience
Great, keep up the good work...
Thanks, will do!
2:27 i hope that is the toilet or kitchen brush for the house. Lol
lol
I own and use a Ransomes T3100. Great machine
Nice 👍
I had a Pitbull for fourteen years before he passed, best dog I’ve ever had. He had the same injury and if he was running hard it didn’t seem to bother him but just moseying around he would lift it. That lasted about three years and he finally recovered from it. But I’m missing a leg so I had no mercy on him because he had three. Yes it took about three years, I think when he ran he would aggravate it. Good luck with yours, it’s hard to find that special dog.
sorry to hear that😔 dogs really are man’s best friend!
2.36 “Honey have you seen the loo brush”😂
haha
Nice job on the Mower, I have noticed on several Channels that when people replace / Fit new or just Grease the Grease Fittings they seem to Over fill which leaves a big Blob of Grease exposed which will attract Dirt etc, maybe they should wipe it away to prevent Clogging or Dirt attraction.
Thanks! Yea I wiped all the excess grease off after mowing
Yeah! Part 2!!!!!
😊
Super vidéo et super travail. Enfin quelqu'un qui prend le temps de contrôler, l'état du carburant, après une si longue attente et qui va au bout de la remise en vie de la machine. Et tout çà, avec juste le minimum de paroles. çà change de ce que l'on a l'habitude de voir. Parfois, on se demande si ils sont "mécaniciens". Cette machine, maintenant qu'elle a fait ses preuves, mérite d'être démontée entièrement, sablée et repeinte. Alors elle aura une seconde vie. En attente donc. Bonne continuation.
