Doing DIY Right
Добавлен 16 мар 2019
I've spent years watching RUclips videos of how to perform different tasks myself. Most of that stems from being cheap. However, there is another component that is important. Doing things the "right way". Knowing better, you might be surprised how many DIY videos are giving bad information. You might also be surprised how easy it is to do some of this work yourself.

2006 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 - Rear Bumper Guard Install
This video walks you through the installation of a rear bumper kit on my 2006 Arctic Cat Prowler XT 650 H1. This kit is part number 0436-986. I was lucky enough to find one brand new and on clearance. So, I grabbed it up.
If you happen to find one and want to install it, this video should help. It will give you the level of effort required, tools needed, and an idea of where you might screw up (or where I did). All in all, came out well. Not too hard. Easy to do in a couple hours if you're taking your time.
If you find this video useful or interesting, please like and subscribe. This really helps me be able to keep creating content for your guys. I always have my hands full with projects....

2006 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 - Grinding Sound - Engine Removal
Просмотров 5 тыс.2 года назад
After some research, I couldn't find any videos online showing the removal of an engine on an Arctic Cat Prowler XT 650 H1. So, I figured I'd make one. This is the second time in a couple weeks I had to remove the engine. The first time I didn't video. Second time I did. This shows the process I found the easiest to pull the engine on my own. The previous removal was to diagnose and fix a bad g...
Husky Toolbox Organization and Ernst Socket Boss Review
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.2 года назад
A quick tour through my toolbox and some of the most used compartments. I bought this toolbox 3 or 4 years ago. I also bought some of these Ernst Manufacturing Socket Boss organizers. They are AWESOME. I have been putting these things through their paces for years and they haven't failed me yet. Also a big shout out to Gearwrench for their 120XP sets of sockets/ratchets. I love them. You know y...

Polaris RZR 170 - Front End Alignment
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.2 года назад
A video showing how I chose to align the front end of our RZR 170. The manual is great, but, sometimes a video can help a lot. I apologize for the camera angles. I need to do a better job of making sure the head mount on the camera is pointed down to see what I'm doing. It can be frustrating to watch. However, I believe there is enough info here to help someone that needs to do an alignment. If...
Polaris RZR 170 - OEM Bumper Install
Просмотров 4032 года назад
Video showing how to install the OEM bumper on an RZR 170. This should apply to all year RZR 170's. What should have taken 15 minutes ended up taking a couple hours. Pro-Tip....make this your FIRST accessory. The first time you hit anything, the brackets will no longer align and you'll be trying to straighten everything during the installation. If you found this video helpful or interesting, pl...

When I was in the market for a snorkel kit on the RZR 170, I really wanted to see how the kit was routed and installed. I couldn't find anything.

If this video was helpful or interesting to you, please l...

The parking brake did not work. At all. This video is showing you the process to adjust the parking brake on an RZR 170. All years should be the same. I apologize for the camera angle.

2002 Yamaha Blaster - Part 3 - Reed Valve Inspection
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.2 года назад
Quick video showing the inspection of the reed valves for my Yamaha Blaster I'm working on. With the carbureator off, you should inspect these for damage, cracks, and warps to see if they need to be replaced. In some cases, you can flip the valves over to get a good seal. But, that's more of a temporary fix. Please like and subscribe if you find these videos interesting or helpful. It's very mu...

Просмотров 5282 года назад
I purchased a 2002 Yamaha Blaster for my 13 year old son to play around with. As with almost everything I buy, this one needs a good bit of work.

Join me on a journey fixing this thing up and getting it ready to play, get dirty, and prob...
Husqvarna Push Mower Surging Fix. Running Lean.
Просмотров 1,5 тыс.3 года назад
This mower was given to me. The owner lost the air filter assembly that attaches to the carb and it was running rough. After a tune up, the mower was running better, but, was surging when the choke was opened. This indicated a lean condition. Fuel delivery was not adequate. Let's dig in together and get it running again. I want to make this channel useful, informative, and maybe a little fun. I...

Mower Deck Spindle Connection Broken. Fix with Reinforcing Ring
E nice if you could see what you are doing
The filming is terrible
I am needed
Thanks that was great
Um...
Did you ever post the tear down video?about to tackle this and curious how bad it js
buy better lighting - we can only barely see into your drawers
I was wonder what exactly was the problem I have the same problem but no one where I live wants to work on my machine
Is the back magnetic?
Any issue with these organizers breaking? The twist lock part?
Thanks for the information, was hoping you had the part where the thermostat comes out. I wasn't sure where it located exactly.
You should delete this video then re-shoot it.
What did you do about the air intake
The park brake is about useless. Soon as the brake pads wear any bit it’s out. Easier to buy the park brake pedal kit
Thanks this helps
So even if I put a upgrade carbon reed I still need the reed guard thing?
Correct. Sometimes if you buy a kit it will come with a different one. But a guard is needed either way.
Lol nice video of the tire.
What’s the box on top of the carburetor & how do u remove it
Excellent video!
Thank you. I couldn’t find any videos on this topic, so, I wanted to put this out there. I have a tear down video I’ll be putting up soon as well.
