I caught a squirrel in the act of chewing a hole in a plastic garbage can lid. The squirrel dove into the hole and I covered the hole with a brick. After a few minutes of “Anvil Chorus” The squirrel promised never to do that again.
Mustie 1 I have a rv about the same as the one I seen in this video mine is a 84 holiday rambler or weekend rambler any chance u want to sell parts off of it mine has a 460 Ford engine in need of some parts bad this is my families house at the moment we was homeless and my good friend bought this rv for us so if your willing to sell parts please let me know thank you and I really enjoy your video's
I saw this and just had to watch. I have one just like it. it was my dads and he got it used back in the early 90's. he passed away about 3 years ago now. I go the DR. still cranked but needed some love. I let a person use it and they miss treated it badly. needless to say when I got it back the carb was leaking the gas tank was cracked and the belts were shot. I got it back to my shop and called DR people in Vermont. they wanted to know the SN number. I gave them the SN and they told me that that mower was in their system. and the last person that called about this mower was my dad in 1992. go figure. I asked about the carb. they wanted 180 bucks. couldn't get a tank. so I youtubed it and found your vids. you showed just how easy a carb cleaning is and I repaired the cracked tank. I just want to say thanks for your vids. they sure have saved me some time and money.
I used to be REALLY impressed by the DR field and brush mower commercials all the way back in the 70's and 80's Nice machine especially for your application.
Very good and inspiring video. I bought one of these used about 4 years ago or so and I love it (I'm the third owner). I'm sure it dates back to 1989 - the tire treads are almost bald. This machine is to mowers what the Model T was to cars - you can fix it with just about anything lying around the garage. The belts wear out in about one season, the drive chain broke, but fixing it is a quick trip to the auto parts store or the motorcycle shop - and you can fix it yourself without any serious mechanical ability. Definitely the machine for someone out in the boonies. Thanks for the presentation.
Mustie1, Have been enjoying your videos. This one was a blast from the past for me as I used to own one of these machines. Bought it new back in 96 and used the piss out of it clearing the overgrown land my place rests on. It was a great machine and served me well. Replaced the tires as we actually wore the tread off of them. Found a the replacements at Northern Tool. They had a cart wheel with the same tire. Gave it to my wife's uncle as I didn't have a need for it any longer. Only gripe I ever had was when it came time to remove the blade for sharpening or replacement. They can be a bear due to thread and nut size. It's too bad that they don't make this simple machine any longer. I understand that there were lawsuits brought against the design due to some fools not turning the machine off while cleaning debris from under the deck. Cheers!
Those old DR's are one of the greatest things ever invented by mankind. Certainly ran one that looked like that enough when I was young at my Uncles old very large farm, that bordered a river, think his was an even older model though, as I don't remember a plastic gas tank, and pretty sure it was metal. When he passed told my dad we should get it for our properties, and when we got out there his daughter had already sold it in the estate sale she was having.
Good one- as usual. Always learn something thanks for the knowledge. I got my fire pump out yesterday - it no go - off with the float bulb, water in the tank and bulb, clean it up first pull away it goes. Thanks Mustie from saving me from the mower shop.
Makes my day when I see a fresh Mustie1 small engine video posted! I know I'm about to learn a few more tricks of the trade. For instance i wasn't 100% sure you had to drop the plug in the old oil, but i was pretty sure. Haha funny as usual too. Thanks Mustie!

If you swap the "L" and the "U" in "Plus" and add an "E", you get "Pulse". That doesn't really mean anything but...
I have a similar machine, the label lists the serial number but no model number. Anyone have advice on how or where to find the model number and year?

Glad to see that someone else uses a motorcycle lift to work on everything. I even use mine for motorcycles now and then!

I always learn something, this time about the trick on how to check for a battery drain. Thanks again.

Great Video . Nothing like old school machinery.

Simplicity at it's best. Gotta love the old machinery.
