The Man Thread

Debated putting this in my other "Good Ole Days" thread, but since it's about lawn mowers and fixing things, I suppose it fits a little better here.

Recently came across this guys channel. Taryl Fixes All! This guy's a lawn mower wiz - seems to know just about everything there is to know about any lawn mower or piece of power equipment you throw at him. It's interesting to see him go about fixing something. Like I said, he knows everything, so he knows whenever theres some special way you have to remove something, whereas the rest of us would just get frustrated and probably break something in the process. And with some of these old mowers, you can't find parts for them anymore, so breaking something is... very much bad.

He always wears fake hillbilly teeth and jokes around, does some silly skits and such.

In these two videos, he's managed to find an old extremely rare Lawnboy Loafer, which was probably one of the first riding mowers ever marketed. Really, the Loafer was just a motorized go-kart that you could buy separately, but they also had the option to add a motorized push mower deck to the front. The most interesting thing about it is the horizontal disc drive on it. To change the speed, the entire motor shifts over to place the motors drive wheel closer to or further away from the center of the drive disc.

He had me laughing popping wheelies on it.

How much engine is too much engine? Is there such a thing?

Well when merely starting the car is blood-curdlingly terrifying... yeah, you might've found the edge of sanity.

Cool, I really liked it better in yellow with all eight head lights. The interior looked awesome with yellow and that brown plastic on the console too.
