- An old, rusted lawnmower's journey is far from done, even now it is obsolete. It may be reincarnated as an engaging instructional tool-a cut-out engine that reveals the inner workings of these mechanical marvels-instead of being thrown away.
The lawnmower is transformed in a stunning way by careful restoration and repurposing. The interesting parts that power the machine are exposed as the layers of rust and neglect are peeled away. When the engine block is exposed, the pistons, valves, and camshafts that direct the engine's rhythmic dance become the focal point of the design.
With a new function, the disassembled lawnmower engine turns into a priceless teaching tool that captivates both young and elderly minds. The learning process starts as they investigate the inner workings of the engine, trace the passage of fuel and ignition, and comprehend the peaceful coexistence of horsepower and torque.
This engine from a converted lawnmower is used as a practical and engaging teaching tool. Viewers will be able to understand how fuel burns, picture a power stroke, and see how spark, air, and fuel interact. They develop a greater understanding of the fundamentals of mechanical engineering, internal combustion, and the marvels of human creativity.
This cut-out engine acts as a conversation starter outside of the virtual classroom, kindling an interest in machinery and stimulating original thought. It demonstrates the transformational power of repurposing and draws attention to the possibilities contained inside abandoned objects. This intriguing object inspires reflection and arouses the imagination, inspiring others to see everything as potentially possible.
The old rusted lawnmower eventually transcends its initial use and is reincarnated as a symbol of wisdom and inspiration. It serves as a reminder that even the most ignored and forgotten items can serve as catalysts for new knowledge and understanding.
I transformed this old abandoned rusty walk behind lawnmower onto an Educational Artifact.
I transformed the whole 4 stroke single cylinder lawn mower engine into something other people can learn from. This engine was not the Briggs and Stratton type lawnmower engine that you may usually find on a lawn mower.
The Carburetor and Exhaust in this engine has also become somewhat of an educational artifact as well.
So, whether w e are are regarding a Riding lawn mower, Push mower, Petrol lawnmower or even an electric lawn mower, the principle of what I have done here could be valid. Meaning, this could have technically been done for all these types, and quite possibly something I would like to do in the future. The Robot Lawn mower unfortunately doesn't come into this category for me.
If, by the way, you are having problems starting your lawnmower then please do take look at my other more detailed video, where I help you get back you and running again if your Lawn mower Won't Start: • Lawn Mower Will Not St...
Thank you and I hope you have gained something from this video.

Hi guys I just wanted to Introduce to you my other Channel "Kirkman's Academy" - which i'm just getting started. It's a go-to channel for simple explanations for hard to grasp subjects such as physics, maths and chemistry etc. Here is the link: www.youtube.com/@kirkmansacademy/videos . Thank you so much for looking, and if these topics interest you then I hope to see you the there. Many thanks indeed. Craig 😊👍
An acrylic crankcase cover to support the crank might be a nice touch. Looks great, I know it took a lot of work.
Yes the crank ideally needs supporting 👍. Hank you for your nice feedback. I really appreciate it. Craig 👍👍
Very therapeutic to watch, exciting that in future videos (hopefully) I'll finally know exactly how to set the governor properly 😊
Thank you for your motivating comment. Yes. I will explain what you requested very soon. Thanks again. Craig 👍👍
For education.. it's fantastic.. great idea mate
Thanks mate
That engine was a mess. Well done and thank you for the many educational videos you’ve posted.
Thank you so much for both watching my vids and for your motivating comment. I really do appreciate it. Craig 👍
It's great, beautiful and useful work. Thank you for every effort you put into teaching us everything about two-stroke engines.
It looked like some of what I get in. Came apart with the exception of one bolt. fairly easy. Nice repurposing. Looking forward to your future videos using it.
Stay well, Joe Z
Many thanks again for your motivating comments Joe Z. Craig 👍👍👍
Hey Joe. Funny meeting you here. 🤣
@@100vg What can I say, " great minds think alike" ? LOL Craig has one of the best how to videos anywhere. His diagrams are really outstanding. Wish he was doing these years ago. Would have saved me a lot of time & grief.
See you soon.
@@JOEZEP54 When I watched his first video I saw about how 2-stroke engines work, I was sold and subscribed. What a fascinating design! Too complex for me to remember all the details of the upstroke and downstroke, but it's amazing! I tried to write them out and kept getting confused. It needs a fuel/oil mix for lubrication and its RPMs can get much higher then 4-stroke. Two carburetor adjustment screws, one for idle and one for Max RPM. Whoever dreamed up this design was a genius and it's been perfected since then!
Some people use a 40:1 mix in 50:1 engines for better lubrication. It makes more smoke, but protects better. I bought a can of Husqvarna (who makes Poulan Pro) 50:1 for my 20" chainsaw because that's what's specified on the case cardboard cover and in the manual, but when that's gone, I may try 40:1 next time.
This stuff has gotten crazy expensive, but this way I know the mix is precise and Premium Fuel is used. I saw on the Poulan Pro website that ALL of their chainsaws are 40:1, but 50:1 is stated everywhere, so 40:1 should be fine.
@@100vg The 2 stroke engine & carburetor make a lot of applications possible. Two carburetor adjustment screws, one for idle and one for max RPM were also used on older 4 stroke lawn mowers/tractors. The pre mix fuel is out of control in my area. TruFuel 110-oz 40:1 Ethanol Free Pre-Blended 2-Cycle Fuel is $23.98 at Lowes for 110 oz can, that's $27.904 per gallon!! You can buy this in just about any big box store in my area but in my County no non ethanol
fuel at the pump. The only place I can buy non ethanol fuel is at a Stewards in another county that is about a hour drive plus tolls. This Stewards only sell high test non ethanol (Premium ) which is expensive & not necessary ( the Premium ) for small engines. I do not know the reason they prohibit non ethanol at the pump for around $5.00 gal. but you can buy it premixed for $27.94 a gallon in just about any store but I am sure the geniuses in charge have
a reason or 2 🤔
Stay well, Joe Z
That was a lot of work for a tutorial piece! I'm one to take on that kind of project. The perfectionist in me appreciates the perfectionist in you, even filing the cut pieces flat and shiney. I was wondering if you'd set the valve gaps. No? And no gaskets, either? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 I watched *How a Mechanical Governor Works on a 4-Stroke Lawnmower Engine* today and I'm sure we'll see this artifact beauty in action again. Excellent thought to repurpose and beautiful work, Mr. Craig!
When I saw your first video I watched on how 2-stroke engines work, I was hooked and had to subscribe and your brilliance and masterful ways of making visual tutorials are the best I've seen. No one could leave without a full understanding of whatever the topic is. You're a Wizard of Education and I'm glad I subscribed.
Thank you so much for your awesome feedback as usual. Craig👍👍👍
There are many fake restauration videos. This is not fake. Great work!
Thank you for your nice feedback. I really appreciate it. Craig 👍👍👍
Great vid!
This will provide many with a clear understanding of how engines work. Very good idea! Great work!
I'm waiting to see your next video to see it run..... 🤣
Awesome comment. Thank you. Craig 👍👍👍
Cool .. love to see some of the drive gearboxs split...
Awesome 👍👍
Looking forward to your next video.
Thank you. I'm working on that now and it will be on the subject of engine horsepower and torque, and I will be using this engine to explain some of it. Thank again. Craig 👍
Brilliant ! The fine details are important !
Thank you 👍👍
Excellent work...looking forward to your upcoming videos.
Thank you. I really appreciate it. Im actually in the middle of my next video, which is about explaining engine horsepower and torque. Thanks again for you supporting comment. Craig 👍👍👍
nice job, I would modify the crank cover to support to crankshaft and camshaft.
Thank you. Yes I’ve supported the camshaft ok with the small bracket but I do agree on supporting the crank. Thanks again 👍👍
Nicely done cuts.
a bloddy good show chap
Oh wow looks good
You have fallen into the depths of CZcams fluffdom! 🙀🙄🤔
Oh dear!
How?
@Super Specialty , you are welcome to leave if you don't enjoy the video 🤷
