I'M JUST TIRED OF FIXING THIS PROBLEM....UN-BOXING SOME HANDY FARM GOODIES AND MORE!!

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the process of lifting the mower and removing the front wheels. He uses a jack to raise the mower, places jack stands for stability, and then unbolts the front wheels. He encounters difficulty due to rust, requiring a 'beater screwdriver' and a dead blow hammer to dislodge the rusted bolt. He inspects the wheel bearings, noting they are 'gummed up,' and plans to clean and grease them.

Goal: The lawnmower is jacked up, and the front wheels are removed, requiring extra effort due to rust. Bearings are inspected, and cleaning/greasing is planned as part of the repair.

Tools and materials

  • Beater Screwdriver/Pry Bar
  • Dead Blow Hammer
  • Floor Jack
