Free Curb Alert Troy Bilt TB110 Push Lawnmower & Cutting trees at Moms need firewood this winter

Hey guys, how you doing? It's Henry. A local subscriber of mine, Nick from Comac, texted me about a listing here in East Williston, Long Island. I'm on my way to my mom's house to cut down some trees, so I figured I'd stop by and pick it up. It looks like this. So it's one of those new Briggs plastic carburetor type machines. They actually mow very well. I think it's Troybuilt or Yard Machines, one of those. Anyway, it comes with a bagger. So now I'm sitting outside telling the person that i'm here and i just want their permission to go pick it up i see it right there on the side of the house it's a Troy built it's like new thank you here i am at my mom's house i've already trimmed some trees this was out of control at one time but i think ideally i want to trim all these bushes away so it doesn't cover that part of the house so much and i'm feeling like because this was wild this thing was like covering the whole house but i've trimmed it but i have a feeling i want to get rid of that tree all together so that you can see the house better and there's this completely useless tree that's like curved it's not doing anything but possibly falling over so i want to cut that tree so first thing i want to do is cut this tall tree then chip away at this see how i feel and then eventually there i don't think i'm going to be able to get it done all in one day but i had just come here a couple of days ago to mow the lawn so that doesn't need to be done but there's like a ton of bush that i need to get rid of piled over here and some more wood i'm gonna bring some wood home because it's good to burn but this is what i just got it is like i said a Troy-Bilt TB 110 i've had a few of these this is nice it's an auto choke look at the look at the wheels good tread comes with a good bagger this is a score and it's probably something super simple like a carburetor clean and i could sell this for like $175. It is just a push mower but still excellent condition. So I'm going to go to town on doing some chainsawing. One tree. A thin tree in my opinion. Took like all day. Took like an hour to cut that tree and to clean it up because even though it didn't look that big or that tall the ends of it the bushes and the branches and stuff the leaves on it created a whole mound does it look better now without the tree now i have to think do i want to chop down this tree because that'll clear up the house a lot more you can see it better got lots of wood here lots of wood to bring back so i can burn it for this uh winter i don't think i can because it's pretty wet especially this one here is very wet but at least it'll be good for next season i'm gonna leave this stump here because well i don't know it holds up all this ---- i'm totally dead this tree is gone wood is in my truck i decided to leave this for now i still don't know what to do with it but this side over here you guys saw in time lapse it's just tremendous but now i got rid of huge tree that's hanging over my neighbors i had to use ratchet straps to pull the tree branch so it wouldn't fall on their property and break their pots and stuff like that in their garage so it went, it slingshotted this way towards me so i missed everything and i got to cut this up and clean it up, that's a lot of work just so much crap i'm so overwhelmed but um starting to look nice now, it's amazing what trimming bushes can do, looking real good getting rid of that tree over there was a good idea, i'm dead, i'm going back home now and we'll uh fiddle with that mower tomorrow All right, good morning. It's another beautiful day here in Huntington, Long Island. And I'm going to unload all my wood into the garbage can and bring it to the back and stack them against a wall. We'll shoot this Troy-Bilt that we got. That's right, free. I have a feeling it's going to be super easy to fix that thing. Probably just a dirty carb. Watch, whenever I say that, what happens? why why won't it start, excellent condition super clean, good tire tread on the wheels excellent bagger, auto choke no oil residue anywhere i think this is just your perfect example of a regular homeowner who bought the machine left gas in it, carburetors all gummed up with ethanol and it won't start so instead of going to get it fixed just throw it away or give it away and go buy another one, oh mowing your lawn is so problematic i'm just gonna go hire some landscapers that's my wood supply i don't know if i could burn more most of these and most of that because it's still pretty wet maybe small ones i can but i really need a log splitter to split this stuff so it'll dry quicker and it'll burn easier that pile almost fell on me twice let's go check out that Troy-Bilt lawnmower we picked up for free huh changed into some dirty clothes check the gas it's completely dry ski check the oil it's really overfilled like double and it smells like gas very liquidy which means that the carburetor is gunked up needle wasn't seating when you put gas in it gas continuously flows into the crankcase filling up the oil reservoir with a mixture of oil and gas but let's put some gas in and see if it turns over that's enough just for testing what do you think it's an auto choke will it just start brake lever is a little stiff but they all where you can see there's a ton of smoke that flies out is it the kind of smoke of a blown head gasket could be but also that signs of the oil being so thin watered down by the gas that it's seeping through and burning in the combustion chamber so i'm gonna drain the entire crankcase of its gas oil mix fill it up with fresh oil and then let's see what happens because apparently carburetor seems fine would it start now on the next pull ton of smoke is coming out definitely don't have any more mosquitoes so an oil change on these lawn mowers are very easy the older models had a drain plug on the bottom but that seemed to be more of a pain in in the ass these days just tilt it on its side and pour like 90% of the oil out or in this case oil gas are you ready let's go see see how uh watery that is it's practically gas coming out i'll get most of the uh liquid out of there still coming out and that could be another reason why it smokes so much because it's like double the amount of fluid in there so the excess fluid is going into the oil vent which goes back into the carburetor so when the carburetor is running it is burning gas and oil thus the smoke. Looks like we're getting most of that stuff out. I'll let it sit there for a bit. We'll put fresh SAE 30 in there. At least now you know that the interior part of the engine block is super clean because it's been soaked with gasoline so it should be a very clean block now which is actually good. I'm going to pour this into a container and dump it out. Remember, don't be a dick. Don't pour this in your sewer or a lake or something like that. Bring it to a Home Depot or a gas station. They have to take it. By law, at least here in New York. SAE 30. Temperatures above 32 degrees. Summer machines. If you have a snowblower, 5W30. Let it settle for a bit. Top it off in a second. Got an old Oregon container of bar and chain lube. Yep, this is all gas and a little bit of oil. Stick your dipstick in the hole. That's what she said. See if the tip is moist. That's what she said. Nothing. A little bit. Put some more. Oil's dripping down the sides of the reservoir tube, so it's not a good gauge. Looks like I necesito mas. Now it's good. Okay, now we're going to start it, let it run for a bit. there so there's still gonna be oil gas mix in the carburetor bowl in the fuel line valve area muffler so it's gonna smoke but i'm gonna let it run for about five minutes see if the oil dissipates and then it'll be fixed not really doing anything and there you go it's just that easy thanks to my friends over at Super Clean for always providing me super clean products that keep my equipment super clean i'll leave a link in the description so as you guys know some small engine mechanics actually tell you to take out the spark plug check the air filter all that other jazz that's completely unnecessary what did i do took it off my truck after we picked it off the street put gas in it fired it up saw the symptoms white smoke just blowing out checking the oil you smelled gas so you do an oil change to clean out the crank case once that's all cleaned out two three minutes of it running the smoke stopped that was the problem it ran fine didn't hesitate didn't surge which means the carburetor is clean no need to clean a carburetor that runs fine didn't even look at the air filter why because if the air filter was bad you would hear hesitation and difficulty running which it doesn't show those symptoms why change the spark plug or check it if it runs fine go ahead do all that extra work for absolutely no reason at all that's it i cleaned it up it runs great starts stops doesn't smoke anymore this thing is going to sell for like 175 maybe 150 it's got a great bag it's in excellent condition we got it for free you can't argue with free we didn't do any unnecessary checks spark plug air filter carburetor all that jazz because the symptoms don't dictate needing to check it and that's the problem with those techs over at shops they need to go by a rule book gotta check check check check check all these things but if you're a backyard wrencher like me no i didn't say a mechanic because i'm not a mechanic i'm a backyard wrencher we saw the symptoms added new oil the problems went away and that's all you need if it runs and starts good that's all you needed to do actually that's all i needed to do because now i can just turn around and sell it for money how much did i put into it i had oil on hand a couple of sprays super clean sponsored so i'm in it for nothing Hope you guys enjoyed the video.
