What was your length from the winch part to the front cable that comes down?

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 .

the pull and drain system on the engine os pure genius , this will be my first oil change , just bought it from a doctor who took great care of it , i really like it , its fast and very powerful , looks great also , i love it !!! the only thing i dont like , it wont cut in reverse lol !!!

Why not put a fuel shutoff valve in first instead of using vise grips

My my my

thank you so much!

Started mine today (same model as in this video). Mowed for about 45 minutes then it quit… heard a pfft sound near the front left of the engine… and I think I saw something smoking for second. After that it would not start… any thoughts on what it could be…

Thanks for your help

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. I just got mine used and changed the oil, what a mess it made all over the bottom of the engine and frame. What a crappy design. The oil plug should be at the bottom of the sump.

Hey.. how are you doing? I just wanted to know did you have to jack it up to change the oil?

That isnt damage repair, that is them swapping hull numbers. I guarantee they had another pontoon boat that was broken, bought another boat with no paperwork or title and cut out the hull number and made it look like a repair and replaced it with the one that had paperwork. 2:34

This might be a stupid question but how do you get knobs with long enough screws? All knobs are for cabinets not doors so the screws that come with the knobs aren’t long enough.

Would love to find the grease points (other than the obvious front ones)

I wish my dad could have taught me this 😢 thanks man

Before you drilled, you said your going to use a center pop up? What does that do and where can I buy that tool?

Remember to cut your access hole CHINA PUMPS DONT LAST.

This saves me from a huge mistake putting the knobs at the weak point of the door where no solid wood exists. Thank you very much.

Another way to think about knob position is to place them on 1/3rds. In other words on a 48 inch opening put the knobs at 16 inches from each other. Visual pleasing.

Shouldn't the knob be installed at the other door instead since it's swinging out towards the direction of the extreme left or right door?

Thanks mate. Really helpful!

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.

Perfect!

Considered buying an old pop up like this one really cheap and trying to fix cables( I know NOTHING , son in law a tiny bit). After watching this, ABSOLUTELY NOT!! Glad I saw this before I threw money away!! Seems ALOT of work and know how

Great information about the pivot point and the difference in density between the different points in the door. Thank you.

Do you have to press clutch everytime you change speeds?

Poulan Pro is a good machine. Lots of years of good use with mine.

I'm pretty certain that when you check the oil level, you DO NOT twist the cap back down. You simply put the stick straight down and pull it straight back up. My TORO self-propelled is like this, per the user manual. Also, It only makes sense.

Poulan Pros are very good tractors

I had a problem with two cables at the same time . I contacted a Starcraft dealer and they sent me a set of cable replacement instructions that cable with wiring diagrams . It was very nice of them ..

If the factory oil filter wont come loose..take a screw driver and a hammer and puncture filter from one side to the other using the screw driver as a turning handle

Hello. How do I contact you . I have questions about your repairs? Serious inquiry. Please message me through Facebook. Thank you

I have a question it’s not about what your talking about bought i just bought a 1988 starcraft camper and it’s missing the crank to rise it do you know where I can get one from or anyway you can send me a picture of how it looks

Hello, Do you know what size the belt is for this mower? I have the same exact one and need to replace.

THE OIL PRESSURE SWITCH ALSO CAUSES A NO START SITUATION IF THE SENDING UNIT MALFUNCTIONS ,REASON FOR IT IS TO SHUT DOWN FUEL OFF IF OIL PUMP GOES. JUST A HEADS UP. SINCE YOU FULLY LOADED THE PARTS CANNON MAY AS WELL PUT A NEW ONE IN TOO. LOOKS LIKE WHAT WAS DONE WAS NEEDED.

Having similar issue with a 1994 Astro van 4.3 L. Crank no start. I hear the fuel pump priming. Didn't use a code scanner because the van is disabled in the backyard. Does this model have a CKP crankshaft position sensor? If so, where is it located? I can't seem to find any diagrams from google search.

Are those knobs uneven?

You funny man!!! Thank you for the video. Good job.

I have a 1983 StarCraft popup. I am trying to replace the cables underneath the trailer. Should the camper be completely down when I do this? Can I and should I take the winch off or leave it on when I hook up the cables. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I can't hear anything. talking to soft.

Thanx!

Good advice.

What do you have there on your lower unit?

where are you located? can i hire you!

Your lawnmower doesn’t hold as much oil as a 7.3 lol yours takes like 2 and 7.3 powerstroke takes 15 quarts smh

How did you get the oil flow started?

Thank you so much you saved me a lot my knob had fell off while my door was closed and I didn’t know how to open it thanks to you I was able to

Really needed all this information. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!!

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.

Great video! Thanks, friend

Super helpful video!! Thank you!!
