Pontoon Repair Overview
Просмотров 7 тыс.3 года назад
This video shows an overview of the steps and method I used to repair cracks in some aluminum pontoons. Always remove plugs before the welding process and this will eliminate fighting any type of gas pressure building up while you are sealing up the last section of weld. After welding you can install a Schrader valve into the drain and add 2 - 3 lbs. of air maximum with a small foot pump to the...

    i recently bought a poulan PP175G42 from a doctor friend of mine who only had it for about 5 months . his aero turn was giving him trouble and bought this from an estate sale that belonged to a very old man . the reason i just bought it , he has decided to move to another state and doesn't need it anymore . after cutting my yard , i noticed it didnt cut as good as my 4 wheel drive walk behind troy built mower . the left front and right rear tire both has a small hole in the side wall , he had been filling it up with air all this time , i did something kind of stupid , i put fix-a -flat in them to stop the slow leak . tire pressure counts when a well mowed lawn is wanted . then i cleaned it up really good and noticed the blades are really in need of replacing .they are in the worst shape i ever have seen and cannot be re-sharpen , not much blade left LOL . thats a costly job i have to do . then the dect only drops to the 2 and a half position . the deck needs to be worked on , i will get another adjuster for the other side . so i have to spend a few hundred to get it to cut good again , tires , deck work and def some new blades . it looks almost brand new , i got it dirt cheap for 300 dollars so maybe another 300 dollars wont be so bad to have a good riding mower . i also plan on doing full maintenance ,fuel and oil filter , oil change , a E3 special spark plug and a little shot of carburetor cleaner and a dash of marvel mystery oil in the gas tank . i am kindda regretting getting it in a way , i have a lot of obstacles in the yard , but the reverse hack you told me about is one negative i can scratch off my list , thanks again for that ! LOL i still will have to edge ,weed eat and use my push lawn mower , i will have to repair it and see if its worth the trouble to keep . once repaired i know i could at least get a grand for it , i dunno , will have to consider it all one day .

    can you elaborate on that little nipple/fitting connected to the oil plug threads. I like that idea of connecting a hose and letting it drain.

      It can be installed on the outside edge of the pivot seam and function in the same manner but it will also expose the knob to getting snagged on clothing while walking by on the left and the the knob on the right will contact the wall.

    Definitely a tough little tractor. Mine is a smaller version and I'm almost positive it has no oil filter. Just change the oil for the first time in close to 10 years and it was very easy to do. Had a couple rough seasons where it wouldn't start but ended up just being spark plug and battery issues. Paid $250 for it 10 years ago so I definitely got my money's worth. And now with some fresh oil hopefully it lasts another 10.

      @Artisticmetals 2 года назад

      I would have the camper completely down which will leave the least amount of cable wrapped. The 85’ I did had (2) main cables running off the spool front and rear and then they had a T connection to the corners. With that setup it was easier just to remove the winch allowing for accurate length estimates and it was easier to start the new cable on to the spool. I would tie the front and rear corner lift cables together with a bungee cord or something just to keep tension on them while working on the main just so that the don’t roll off the inner pulleys because of the slack. Good luck 👍

    Not newbie to having a pop up, but I haven't had one for several years and have a new to me 1987 Meteor and the back cable and pulleys look rusty but the right rear is somewhat frayed on the loop, so I would like to change the rear cables and probably the pulleys. I am cleaning up some rust and caked on dirt underneath the rear then I'm going to lubricate them with silicone spray liquid wrench and crank it up. The front looks good and the trailer is in quite good shape otherwise for its age. I have some dry lithium grease spray to put on the rear winch, except I read not to put it on the braking part! My question is if that bad, one or two strand frayed cable doesn't break on me do I have to have the roof up to change the cable? Do I just lower the roof a tad and put a bit of slack on the cables and go from there, or do I'll leave it fully extended and put a brace in that is as the roof height? I cannot find the roof height in the 1997 manual for the Meteorite model, or my one side only bed extension Meteor. I do have the instructions on changing the cable though. Just looking for some inside tips as I have never attempted something like this before. Thank you for your great video! Hope this question isn't too blatantly blind. I guess I also have to remove the winch plate to insert the new cable as well.

There are instructions in the manual, but I'm not too clear on the entire procedure yet after the removal. The part they show to replace looks like it is just for a pulley replacement in the bracket with a screw through it?
