Should we build a hydrostatic AWD air cooled 4cyl diesel Harley motorcycle? 🤔
Yes, I like your projeckt videos 😉 Cheers.
Most definitely!
Buy beer get drunk
Do you really have to ask? lol
Yes
The amount of work that has been accomplished in Canada while one hand holds a coffee is incredible.
04:46 that's bullshit bud! NEVER forget the canned consent!
Cut the grass real short and then wait for the sun to burn the grass So ya don’t have to cut the grass. Been saving money for diesel projects since 2014
Heck, cut out the middle man and just spray the diesel on the lawn
You can hear the Robin bird all angry that you’re near it’s nest
First crank, NO SPARK! (Checks notes) OK that is good in a diesel, carry on :)
You have almost everything you need to make an articulated 4x4 tandem bush hog.
This is crazy and I want to see it!
Your "mover" projects seem to be spaced in a way that you always have a new mower when you need to move your grass
Check out Mustie1's channel. I don't know if he's ever mowed his grass with a mower he didn't pick up for free and fix 5 minutes before.
😂
Move grass? I mean i guess you technically aren't wrong..
I was thinking the same thing 😂
I made the mistake of starting an old cat on the diesel in the tank lately. Smelt like varnish. She fired right but on it, just ran her for a little while. Plan was to drain and flush the tank. Decided to fire it up once more for a listen before I left, ended up with a fuel system full of a dirty diesel/water mix. Never again, had to push a load of clean fuel through the system from a 20l container. Eventually got the gunge out and got her fired back up. It was sat no more than 5 years. Never again!!
All I could think about was driving golf balls at Rich while he mowed his lawn
I think it's terrible that 38 others, and me, have 👍ed that idea - sorry Rich.😂
If that footage *wasn't* speeded up, it would maybe be a fair challenge but Rich is a good-sized target, even without a hat on.😂
You are a good man and a good mechanic 👍 🤠.
Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮. 🍻
🍺
I love it when you just find stuff in the woods and make it run
I bet they loved those ag tires on their golf course. 😬🤣🤣
The first think I would have done is cut the wire to that backup alarm that’s constantly beeping
He was like Julian from TPB with that coffee at the beginning haha
I just sold 6 of these through our city’s online auction from our golf course. They all ran and operated just fine - 4000-5000 hrs on each one. They all went for $2000-3000 each! Amazing. Sold 2 pallets of brand new Jacobsen reels and parts too. You’re about a month late with this video, man. Bummer.
😂
Like to harvest an engine like that…!
The other pedal next to the mower movement pedal is the parking brake, the 4x4 switch is just in front of the pto switch on the control panel
Just watched a man cut his lawn while I neglect to cut mine.
Done the grass yet ?
Walker mowers are fabulous mower giving a great cut,had a super sting 18hp,BUT they are mechanically intensive and not for a person who won't spin a wrench or a use a grease gun.KUBOTA diesel engines and products are just plain awesome.Save the hydrostat parts!
You lucky guy
Those were one of the best mowers I ever owned freaking love em.
Would be interested in seeing a video on gas bottle tank ownership vs rental. I live in a small town and find a few bottles at the dump each year so I don't have to buy acetylene. Otherwise, it would be a total pain to rent bottles I don't use often.
Stupid funny video Rich. “Ill probably sell another Cummins at that point...” 👌🏻👌🏻
Not too many people caught on to that part
@@DGHD It made me chuckle too.
@@DGHD I'll fix the 6.0 lol Just up the road from V&R so not far
You should take off the reel mowers and put lawnmower decks on there and have a big ass lawnmower to mow your yard
Man I love your videos. It makes me want you to help me get this old dozer out of the woods.
I just bought a Ransoms motor 350D reel mower from my local golf course had went by it off and on for 3 weeks and could never manage to stop and look at it but was almost certain it said 400.00 on the sign finally stopped and looked sure enough 400 and everything works has a 40 hp 4cyl Kubota cruses about 22-25 mph (pretty sketchy) on the road i obviously had to buy it. I have no idea what i'm going to do with it thinking about a custom 4x4 buggy using narrowed Chevy k10 axles driven by the hydro drives would use 2 fronts so i could have 4 wheel steering but who knows
I bought one of those a few years ago, thinking I could use the engine in something like a Bobcat. Never got around to doing anything with it and sold it for more than I paid. I found the linkage for the hydrostatic control was sketchy, the thing would just start moving without touching the pedal.
You should resell it to a landscaping company and put the money into something more badass
I was at the scrap yard dumping a load, guy beside me had two old Walker mowers he was dumping. Looked at them,one had a 3cyl kubota diesel. He said it ran good,mower was fxxked. He said 50bucks, its yours. Couldn't get the 50 old fast enough. Paid him & met him outside the scale & i had a kubota. Good home & it DOES run good.
Ended up selling it and we will just say I did ok on it lol
Poor momma bird came home from work to find both the house AND the kids gone!
There were a few months between getting it running and actually getting it home.
@@DGHD those birds might still have a case!
2 necessities for a cold start / old start... Fresh battery and a cup of timmy's 😂
Keep up the hard work and thanks for the content
Great video as always Rich @Deboss Garage
Fairway hated those tires.😁
Nice mower, we had a bunch like that when I worked as a mechanic at a turf farm. We only used them for whatever the putting green grass is. Should be simple to get running.
Best part of the week is the de boss video
Those three cylinder Kubota engines are very common on bucket trucks, usually the same fuel as the truck, to operate the hydraulics without running the truck engine. I worked on a lot of them in the gasoline version. Not a hot-rod mill to be sure, but interesting engines, probably a workhorse for small tractor and lawn applications.
I love these videos where you take some dirty ol beast and bring it back to life
The finish missing inside is the chrome. It's only about 50 millionths of an inch (.00005). It really doesn't do much for corrosion protection.
Just think Sears was basically Amazon at one time...
And Montgomery ward
Even worse, Sears looked into online shopping before Amazon existed, and decided that the whole internet thing was just a fad.
@@TheCoffeehound Similar situation with IBM. In the early 70s they had secret basement research center. Where they made the first computer with a intranet with email, Pop down Windows operation system and a mouse. The old school IBM Execs couldn't see how it would sell to anyone. So they scrapped the idea. Then later on Apple took the idea and Microsoft reengineered the Apple operating system. But Microsoft still used MS DOS unlike Apple or ISO.
Yes Sears and Roebuck sold everything via a catalog in the 1800s. Even full size house kits ( Some Sears houses still stand today) farm equipment etc.
@@jaybee2344 LOL, I grew up in one of those kit houses. My great grandparents built it in the early 1920's, and my parents still live there today. Although, to be honest, I'm not sure if it was Sears or Montgomery Ward.
We had a Jacobsen at the place I worked, everybody used it like crazy. It was a beast especially with the sweeper on the front. Good video !
Rich and his coffee ☕️ good man ✌🏻👍🏻
Those jacobsen LF series fairway mowers were ahead of their time when they came out. I love those mowers.
Love the racing steering wheel. Reminds me of a factory option one Dodge had for their trucks and cars in the mid 80s (and one I’m putting in my W250)
cool vid love old stuff that gets another life just like you restored bulldozer or the scraped john deer excavator good work
Rich, get that toro greensmaster behind the jacobsen. Love those mowers.
I cut many fairways with those mowers at Forest City National GC. Those were great machines. Love the old Jake stuff!
I would make a cool little diesel go kart out of it, already has a decent roll cage
Its alive wow sounds very healthy as well @Deboss Garage
Hank Hill would be proud of this mower and your work!
Im glad I subscribed to this second channel.
Same engine as my Kubota G3HST. Works a treat. Mine is the D600, gutsy lil thing.
So i watched this video with the subtitles on and every time the engine was running it would put (music) as the text. Good to see they got that right
Now your lawn looks like a golf course, nice!
That's a steal, Love the Kubota! I just came around a TORO REEL MOWER for cheap. 3cyl. Perkins running, driving and mowing! LOL Watch a Bolens series I'm doing atm.
bloody beepers, came home from school to find my dad in the front of his 1981 pontiac parisienne stabbing things under the dash till the seat belt buzzer died a slow death
I have a JD 455 diesel. I left the transmission in tow mode and when you try to drive it, it made that same sound and barely moved.
You should run the glow plugs for a little longer. These Kubota diesels like their glow plugs.
Thats for dam sure
We got 2 kubotas here at Grandview lodge and yep they love their glow plugs
Almost every mower that the golf course I work at has a Kubota diesel engine.
You should never use starting fluid in a Diesel with glo plugs.notice it started right up when he used glo plugs
I was thinking snowblower... But I guess I'm a little late for that suggestion
That thing is just loyal!
Reels work fairly well on StAugustineGrass if you buy a front-reel unit with height guide wheels but if you run over the grass with front wheels first it looks like crap. StAugustine actually *loves* being cut by a reel, it can be kinda stringy and most places its used you get a lot of blown sand wearing the regular blades round so you get a "pulled pork" end on the grass blades but a reel won't suck sand.
You have to upload more videos like these 👍👍
Those little Kubota motors never die.
As a guy that owns a golf. Ourse and been working on them all my life. It pains me to see you mowing without roller on some reels . Haha. Good luck with whatever its parts turn into.
I noticed the lack of finish in the socket wells too. Sold Craftsman tools at Sears just out of highschool in ‘94.
Would be really cool to see that Kubota in a go cart or a 4 wheeler of some kind. 👌👌
I worked for Jacobson in Charlotte North Carolina for 17 years. It was a great learning experience. Look up the Jacobsen 9016 mower.
Hell yeah build the bike!!
Definitely do that, chap
Sounds like our John Deere fairway mower...she's been parked for a couple years because after rebuilding the hydraulic pump, I got sick of everything else blowing apart bit by bit. Makes more sense to just use the 24' wide reels behind one of the tractors at this point.
Put a finish mower deck on the front!
People routinely misadjust the swashplate control linkage biasing them in the forward direction to pick up ground speed instead of fixing them properly. No or weak reverse can be a result. Otherwise bushings or ports in the hydrostatic trans could be bad/blocked.
Could also be the freewheel/bypass not fully re-engaged for drive function.
Wow you got her running pretty quick lol rich @Deboss Garage
I could tell you were excited about the hystat. Your Canadian was coming out when you were talking.
Those 722's are tough to find. Such a great motor and just not enough of em around.
We used to have a Jacobsen 5 gang reel mower here. Mechanical gear boxes, not hydraulic. You can't let the weeds grow too tall when it's dry though. The reels lay the tall weeds down and don't cut them. They pop right back up behind you :( and then you need the regular (narrow) mower to clean up. Still, it was a fun machine (when we weren't rebuilding the gear boxes)
I have that same socket set I love it
I found a Jacobson front-deck mower like that at my local junkyard with a bad hydro and
nice Kubota 950. Got it running and paid $100 for the motor and radiator.
A common problem people have with gas powered ones is seat/safety switches cutting spark. Been there myself a couple times😅
Next an engine swap in some car👍 Men, few years ago i bought old naturaly aspirated diesel VW Lupo 2001. (105 cu. in., 60 hp) For 44 kw engine it holds 5 quart of diesel oil, 7 qt coolant and 3 qt of oil in mt! Its just fckn Indestructible! 2300 pound, 11 ft 7 in car, full throttle all day and 55 plus MPG! 💪
Had one just like this except mine had a yanmar diesel. Maxed the pump out and put a side exit out the hood on it, thing was badass
I love the Milwaukee air pump but hate that screw on hose fitting. I lose way too much pressure just disconnecting the hose.
My motomaster is the same, hate the screw on piece. I have 2 tires that the screw on is stripped so have to hold it on
@@cclcanadiancountrylife3628 I bought these to hopefully fix the problem...www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07263PGCW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I Enjoyed the video so much and then you had to go scrap it!!!!
We had one of those robins nests built on a work light on our most frequently used tractor 🙄
When the wasps come to your yard they say..."So much room for activities, look at all this parked junk". Haha
Those kubota diesels are the best engine s out there in my opinion. They are reliable and start fast
Does it have 23x13-12 front tires? There was some Jacobsen commercial mowers in the 90’s that had that size tires which are no longer available.
I love how the Bird Nest is still on the roof for ages
5 years... My first tought was: "That diesel is gone." But then I realised that you don't live in Europe where they put bio shit in Diesel
Im trying running it on DME. Seems like the future is now!! I just dont have acess to it...oh well better build myself a fuel processing plant
Diesel in most of the USA is up to 20% bio depending on current weather.
@@jaydunbar7538 well that is shitty draining the fuel every 6 months of not using it sucks balls. Many $/€ down the drain
On the other hand i have never seen gasoline go bad here in scandinavia. had ½ a tank in a Corvette, started right up after sitting for 10 yrs..
@@jaydunbar7538 not in Canada :) biodiesel doesn't like cold
This guy could get the Titanic to sail again. Nice work.
Don't count out that guy's 6.0L. Mine has almost 500,000 miles on it. Still has excellent compression. Just strip off the EGR cooler and switch out the stock up-pipes with BD up-pipes when you do the delete or they'll eventually break from the vibration and you'll have an annoying exhaust leak.
I received my 1st Craftsman tool set with the metal tool box in 1974..I stayed with Craftsman through the years..every Christmas all I wanted was tools I didn't already have..one year I even got a full Tri stack tool chest..(she got a emerald ring) now the sears store is gone..Lowes and Ace hardware have a crap selection..now Craftsman is made in china and like you pointed out the quality is sketchy..then the other day I was using my 180 piece portable kit and for like the 101th time I bumped it and all the sockets went flying all over the place while I was under my motor home..
I started looking for a replacement and saw the Craftsman tool kits commanding the higher prices..no way I thought to myself..not for cheap Chinese junk..so I continued my search which led me to the "Kobalt 439-Piece Mechanic's Tool Set" Item #1616117 Model #81334 for $189.99 and it came in its own tool chest and everything snaps into place..made in America..check..lifetime free replacement..check..exceeds ASME specifications..check..farewell Craftsman..we had a good run..
Go for it
Oh my, sandles and lawnmowers don't mix.
The green 4 cyl at the end. Military 3KW generator set. You could not hide in the woods with that POS just screaming. Look at the spark plugs, they screw into the bottom of the head and fill with carbon. Always had a spare set that I would swap out and clean for the next time. Hated all of the geny sets from that era, 1.5, 3, 5 and 10KW, all very loud.
Best one was a .5KW 2 stroke that DND purchased early '80's. If you knew how to use a small 2 Stroke, they were golden.
I see pep over at zipties n bias plies has got to you a bit with the send hahhaa
I sold one of these in the exact same state a few months ago. The guy didn't like my price until I pointed out all the hydraulic stuff and the diesel. Tons of goodies on these things.
Why does he remind me of the janitor of Zach and cody😂😂
yaaaay motorcycle content
Deboss. If you do find one. Can you do a everything wrong with a 4.9 i6 ford motor ?
They're underpowered by modern standards. That's really about it. It would be a short video.
@@wyattlewis8671 your not wrong. I have a 89 f150 with 81k miles on it and it still has power just not alot. But that low end torque really shows when I'm halling 1000 lbs of concrete it dont even affect it at all. Rides smoth.
When in doubt about which channel.... just post the video on both channels :) that was easy LOL nice video !
I think a backup generator for the shop and house would be a great option!
I know a certain peg leg is gonna be quivering in his boot over this greasy old start!
Miiiint👌
😂😂😂👌
seeing that toro right behind the jacobson is hilarious to me, i worked at a golfcourse where that was our prized mower
The best mower ever made for a golf course i spent most of my childhood and teenage years using and riding on one of these 😂
Take those reels off and sharpen the bed knife and it will cut like butter plus you can set the height of it as well to better cut the grass
