1. Check Tire Pressures: • Why: Uneven tire pressure can cause the mower deck to tilt, resulting in an uneven cut. • How: Refer to the mower’s manual for the recommended tire pressure and use a tire gauge to ensure all tires are inflated to the correct pressure. 2. Inspect for Damage: • Ensure Nothing is Bent, Broken, or Missing: • Why: Damaged components can affect the alignment and functionality of the mower deck. • How: Examine the mower deck, blades, and attachment points for any signs of wear, damage, or missing parts. Replace or repair as necessary. 3. Level the Deck: • Front-to-Back Leveling: • Why: Proper front-to-back leveling ensures the mower cuts evenly and prevents scalping. • How: Park the mower on a flat surface and use a wrench to adjust the front and back deck leveling brackets according to the manufacturer’s instructions. • Side-to-Side Leveling: • Why: Ensures an even cut across the entire width of the deck. • How: Measure the distance from the blade tips to the ground on both sides of the deck. Adjust the side leveling brackets as needed to ensure both sides are equal. 4. Install a Deck Wheel Kit Here’s a link to a kit I’ve used in the past that work well. amzn.to/4cGwIiv • Why: Deck wheels help maintain an even cut by allowing the deck to float over uneven terrain without scalping the grass. • How: Purchase a deck wheel kit compatible with your Troy-Bilt mower. Follow the installation instructions provided with the kit, ensuring the wheels are set at the correct height to support the deck without interfering with the blades. Additional Suggestions: • Regular Maintenance: • Why: Regular maintenance extends the life of your mower and ensures consistent performance. • How: Clean the deck after each use, sharpen or replace blades as needed, and perform routine checks on belts, pulleys, and other moving parts. • Consult the Manual: • Why: The owner’s manual provides specific instructions and safety guidelines tailored to your mower model. • How: Keep the manual handy for reference and follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule and procedures.

@ehsas8676 It lasted long enough to sell this beast. 😁👍

+@toddricketts2518 I have checked on their website, and according to the information I read there, it can be painted. However, because this material is so playable and flexible, I doubt paint would last very long in a situation such as this. It’s something you'd have to experiment with on something you're willing to replace if it turns out bad. Anyways, thanks for watching, and if you decide to try it, let us know how it turns out. Thanks for watching. 🦅

Thanks for the advice. I’ll check next time I use it.

It should be ok. The plastic on the L120 is colored all the way through. Depending on how well you want the surface to appear depends on how fine of sandpaper you use. 600 for me is “good enough” for a mower but if you truly want a show car finish you can progressively sand it all the way up to 2000 grit. 1200 will remove most visible sanding mark for anyone standing 2-3 yards away. The below information is copied from another source but gives you everything you need to know. These steps are for a show car finish. For a mower you can selectively skip the extreme steps. Materials Needed: • Finer grit sandpapers (800, 1000, 1500, 2000, and 3000 grit) • Sanding block or pad • Water for wet sanding • Microfiber cloths • Polishing compound (medium and fine) • Polishing pads (foam or microfiber) • Electric buffer/polisher (variable speed) • Plastic polish • Wax or sealant • Clean water and soap • Tack cloth Step-by-Step Process: 1. Preparation • Clean the Surface: Ensure the polycarbonate plastic is thoroughly cleaned. Use water and soap to remove any dirt, grease, or debris. Dry it with a clean microfiber cloth. 2. Wet Sanding Progression • 800 Grit Sandpaper: Start with 800 grit sandpaper. Wet the sandpaper and the surface of the plastic with water to minimize heat and reduce the risk of scratching. Sand the entire surface evenly, using circular or back-and-forth motions. Frequently rinse the sandpaper and surface to remove residue. • 1000 Grit Sandpaper: Move to 1000 grit sandpaper, repeating the wet sanding process. This step further refines the scratches from the previous grit. • 1500 Grit Sandpaper: Continue with 1500 grit sandpaper, maintaining the same technique. You should start noticing a smoother surface. • 2000 Grit Sandpaper: Follow with 2000 grit sandpaper, ensuring all previous sanding marks are eliminated. • 3000 Grit Sandpaper: Finish with 3000 grit sandpaper to achieve a very smooth surface. This step is crucial for removing the final sanding marks and preparing the surface for polishing. 3. Polishing • Medium Polishing Compound: Apply a medium polishing compound to a foam or microfiber polishing pad attached to an electric buffer. Set the buffer to a low speed and work the compound into the surface. Use overlapping passes and avoid staying in one spot to prevent heat buildup. • Fine Polishing Compound: Switch to a fine polishing compound and a clean polishing pad. Increase the buffer speed slightly and repeat the polishing process. This step brings out the shine and removes finer scratches left by the medium compound. • Hand Polishing: For tighter areas or detailed work, use a microfiber cloth and the fine polishing compound by hand. Rub in small, circular motions. 4. Plastic Polish • Apply Plastic Polish: Use a dedicated plastic polish to further enhance the clarity and shine. Apply it with a clean polishing pad or microfiber cloth, following the manufacturer’s instructions. 5. Final Cleaning and Inspection • Clean the Surface: Wipe down the surface with a tack cloth to remove any residual polish or dust. • Inspect for Flaws: Check the surface under good lighting to ensure all scratches are removed and the finish is uniform. 6. Wax or Sealant • Apply Wax or Sealant: To protect the polished surface and enhance the shine, apply a high-quality automotive wax or sealant. Use a foam applicator pad to apply a thin, even coat. Allow it to haze, then buff it off with a clean microfiber cloth. Additional Tips: • Work in a Clean Environment: Dust and debris can ruin your finish. Work in a clean, dust-free area. • Take Your Time: Rushing through the sanding or polishing steps can result in missed scratches or an uneven finish. • Stay Consistent: Use consistent pressure and motion during sanding and polishing to avoid creating uneven spots. • Proper Lighting: Good lighting helps you see imperfections and ensure even sanding and polishing.

Thank you very very much for your help. I don't expect it to be in showroom condition as it's an old mower but if I got it to shine at least I would be more than happy. Thanks again and I will look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future 🍺🍺

Not repairing this can be much more expensive. If you’re not going to repair this I recommend putting an inexpensive fuel shutoff in the fuel line and turning the fuel off every time you park the mower. Here’s a video that goes into much more detail. ua-cam.com/video/8VxTRqJZi0Q/v-deo.htmlsi=cQs9f_mzl5G7AlHX

I just bought this POS. It was a “Good deal”. 🤦🏻

@@baldeagle242 oh I see now, is just a click bait video, for likes and comments. And I guess this cooment is another for the tally mark. Damn, got me. but I'm still here exposing what reality is. Sad, fake world we live in tbh.

You’re welcome. I hope you subscribe and check out other videos. 😁👍 ua-cam.com/video/0kZNXt2-MBw/v-deo.htmlsi=U2UPbM8c8BB8xbfF

It’s crazy how much stuff like this has gone up! Blows my mind 🤯

No doubt, I just purchased this truck and it’s been neglected for sure. 😭

🫵😁

Anything over 200 is getting pretty warm. 250 for short periods like pulling a long hill is not uncommon but anything over 250 is not good.

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to see you here. 😁👍

Thank you sir! I hope it helps a few people save a few bucks. 💷💶💴💵

I was taught by a master, he poked 37’☮✌🏻

When I was a kid I use to cut 10-12 neighbors yards with an old push mower. A file was all I ever used.

I done something yesterday that truly the mower and I hated. Hit the ground rod sticking up for a power pole. Blade looks like a banana 🍌. Hopefully I didn't hurt the engine. Seems to run OK but it's gut wrenching

@barrybaker9677 I’d remove the blade and spark plug then slowly pull the engine over while watching the shaft under the deck. If it’s strait see if it will start. If not you may have sheared a keyway on the flywheel. If it starts and shaft isn’t bent you should be able to replace the 🍌with a new blade and be good to go. 😁👍

Will do. I truly hope I didn't hurt the mower. I just got it last year. It only has probably 10 to 12 hours. Heart wrenching. First thing I'm gonna flag the ground rod so I don't do it again. Thank you for the tips. God Bless.

I need to make a video just on my lift. It gets a lot of comments. It’s a manual pallet stacker like used in a small warehouse setting. It’s perfect for pretty much any small engine equipment. 😁👍

@@baldeagle242 Now that's interesting ✔️💯

I’ve started buying non-running battery equipment and parting them out. It’s impossible to get parts for some of them so parting them out is more lucrative than trying to repair and sell them. I’ve started to see a lot of people who bought into battery equipment going back to gas now.

💯

Thanks John! I think videos like this will be invaluable if more and more local shops start closing their doors.

You are exactly right brother.
