Thank You mutch. I'm planning to buy a used one, so this video made me level up ))

[@WildPinesPursuit]

Absolutely phenomenal overview video! You have given us all the knowledge necessary to evaluate one of these used before making a purchase! Many thanks to you, Sir!

[@WildPinesPursuit]

Do you prefer one engine model (55vs56) over the other? Is one louder or more fuel efficient than the other in your experience? Thanks again!

[@wallysworkin823]

I prefer the MM55, there were far less issues. They are pretty equal on fuel and noise. Unfortunately the 55 is longer available.

[@WildPinesPursuit]

Thanks! I just picked up a used mm55 yesterday cheap. Should the tines spin freely when the engine is off/not running? Thanks!

[@wallysworkin823]

No they shouldn’t, it could have an issue with the gear box. Also, take the brushes off and check the pins that hold the plastic sleeves on the gear box shaft, sometimes they will sheer.

Ok excellent! The tines are not spinning when the engine is off. The transmission seems to be ok. The engine idles just fine, but was bogging down when you give it gas. Checked the spark arrestor and it’s clean, examined both sides of the piston, and it looks to be in great condition. Fuel lines are clean. Carb is clean. Gonna readjust the throttle cable and see if that does it.

Well done video. Thank you for producing it.

Great video man!

[@darylmixan8170]

the most common failures with turf installers is getting sand caught in the pull cord rubber bushings... easy fix, but you'll have to do it many many times

My mm56 is new and difficult to start and keep running. Got any tips?

[@richardpelzer4049]

Nice video, my mm56 I noticed the engine assembly can be rotated on what ever it is mounted on. Can this be tightened up easily?

[@wallysworkin823]

Yes, There are 4 bolts on the bottom side of the engine housing.

[@richardpelzer4049]

@wallysworkin823 thanks for the info

[@f.y.b.2745]

How’s the fuel economy?

[@larrywilson1386]

Can the power head be swapped with another size?

[@wallysworkin823]

Possibly with some modifications.
