OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Finding and Swapping Tip & Curb Side Finds Hard Rubbish Collection Part 2

Hi all just thought I would show you the collection from my second weekend of collecting from the hard rubbish.

Hope I can get the red Ryobi to work as it doesn't seem to be all that old.


Also hoping that I can get this blower to work as I was only considering and starting to look for a blower.So this was found at the right time.

hey mate,

i reckon with that red whipper snipper change the filter in the tank and change the spark plug rewind the starter and will prob go after that if not then pull the carby apart and spend a few dollars on new diaphram ect

Thanks emmo1980 that sounds like the best place to start.I haven't had a good look at it yet,but I will in the next few days.Most likely after I look at the blower.

yeah my way of thinking is dont spend any money untill you know what is going on if it can be fixed or not

Hi Blumbly, you're getting some more good scores there mate, these parts may come in handy for future resto's eh!!

That is the plan. In fact there is some parts there that would be sitting around for long as there needed pretty mush right now

yeah i have a talon blower/vac when it freaks out im not even going to bother with it or ill take it to the shop and see how much it would cost to sort it out fingers crossed that wont be for a while ive had it about 5 years and it has never missed a beat the mower on the other hand lasted a little over 12 months or so...

The black handles with the G3 metal carby gear on them look to have the latch ends for a MKIII VC-160, the VC-Mutsang, Series 70 & 80 Mustang, and the Series 70 Sports (Plus a few others)

Nice collection of spares there too.

If you have any trouble with the Ryobi Red, Let me know, i may be able to help out. (Might have carby spares, depending on what carby you find in it)

Well I have a feeling that you will be getting the other two wiper snipers.I'm not sure I want them.I have the 2 I've got from the rubbish collections plus a new Ryobi here.I don't need any more than 3 here.I'm not going into collecting them,just want them to use them.I'll work it out but you may get a couple more mowers as well.

Well, You know I'm more than happy to take whatever you don't want, And i can always try and have something in return for you.

Just make sure you keep what you want first and foremost!

I was hoping you'd say that,because I said I'm running out of room and I'm just trying to keep the ones I do want.Wreck a few for bits,and excess ones need to go.
