Back in the very early 1970's I worked at a garden center who also had a landscaping business. He sold these and they said Satoh Mitsubishi on them. We used them on a daily basis, and they were very good strong dependable tractors. You should have seen them when they were new just beautiful tractors I thought and still do.
Hey fellas, the next time you pull a pulley off and it has bearings use some PB Blaster. PB Blaster is a penetrating oil intended for loosening rusted joints (threads, etc). It does this quite well. WD-40 is a "Water Displacement" treatment intended to leave a persistent rust-inhibiting coating behind.
Yeah, I got 15-40 in it now, I thought I had some but I didn’t, so 10w30 was the closest thing I had. The blades don’t look too bad but I will probably sharpen them later this year
Yeah, I don’t know if I want to do a full restoration (because I want to use it to do work, not worry about scratching the paint a little) but I do think I could clean it up decent, straighten some things and fix some of the mechanical issues like the glow plugs
Do you know the size of that mower deck? I have a beaver 3 S 373 D with the three cylinder diesel that has a mid-mount hydraulic lift for what I can only assume used to be a mower deck @@hicksgarage3448

Just keep working on it and never give up on it you will get to work better for you than ever
Super cool. By the way, you should try to get a proper lube… wd-40 is not a lubricant.

Thanks for the tip 👍
Good stuff. Sharpen blades you’ll see a big difference. Thx guys 👍
I used the same model for 15 year's plowing snow it was a great tractor.
bad ass!!!!!! good jobs my dudes
Yellow seat is a replacement for sure they had black seats.
Use some diesel engine oil.tighten up all loose bolts either sharpen or replace the blades and youll have decent lawn tractor

Do it up proper like repaint it. And use it. Like a restore. Or just proper look. And show the details on it when you do.

They make 10w-30 specifically for diesels
What mower is in the back of a mitsubishi? looks solid.
That's a Grasshopper mower. I could tell by the classic brown and tan color scheme. Solid.
Yup, but it has seen a lot of use so the motor is getting tired and burns a lot of oil

How much you want
Mitsubishi Deere hybrid😅
Would cute better if you gave it more throttle
ya outta be running diesel motor oil rather than basic 4 stroke gasoline engine oil.
Yeah, I got 15-40 in it now, I thought I had some when we were filming the video but I didn’t, so 10w30 was the thickest thing I had
Next time don’t spill so much oil on your yard maybe later if you have children they tank you for it.
Keeps the weeds down
Garden tractor not mower.
I give you give you $1,200 for
Sorry, not for sale
