Junk collecting and hoarding dads everywhere salute you 🫡😂

I think bring the mower to the front away from all the junk mowers at the back gives a better first impression tbh when selling. Also just a tip when I’ve sold a mower or two 😄, take your lowest price and add what you think it would take to fix the issues the customer brings up, about the mower. Like you said, saying $1300 would have been a good idea.

I really don’t want to break a wrench 😄😂.

With the Kohler Courage engines, like the 19 and 20 models, the oil is almost always coming from the rear rocker cover gasket, unless the block is cracked on the left side from the bolts being loose. I didn’t Loctite my bolts but probably would help tbh. The second issues these commonly have are sloppy valve clearance issues, due to engine vibration, which if left for too long can cause the engine to not turn over when it reaches the compression stroke, because the loose rocker doesn’t press on the exhaust valve enough, to release the decompression mechanism inside. Normally the engine should spin over freely on startup. .007” gap for exhaust and .005” for intake. Remove spark plug and inset long screwdriver into cylinder and turn the engine over by hand watching as the valves move and the screw driver is pushed out the most. Sometimes it can look like the engine is at TDC but actually it’s on a different stroke. The way to check if it is at TDC is to check the valve clearance on both strokes to find which one has the most slop on both valves, and that is TDC. Also sometimes if the engine has been overheated the valve seals, usually just exhaust side can move, not allowing the exhaust valve two fully compress causing non-decompression starting issues. To resolve this, you have to apply compressed air into the spark plug hole to prevent valve from dropping in the cylinder, and then removing the valve spring to get access to the valve seal, and tapping it in by slipping over the valve stem with a socket, and tapping it with a hammer, to reset it correctly. The only other option is to remove the cylinder head to prevent valves going into the cylinder, when removing the valve spring. Hope this helps someone. 👍🏻

I have watched quite a few of your older videos, and have to say your video editing skills and music choice has massive improved, good job man.

You could say “let’s go bang a wrench” 😄. But great video

This channel is gona go far still Good job 👍🏻

Any time you have a metal valve cover like that where the bolt holes are pushed in like that the best way to fix it is to take a socket a little bit bigger than the hole on the flat side of the hole and use a small hammer and pean the hole back out flat.

That black area on the bottom part of the head gasket is a sign of a leak. It doesn't take much. And it will continue to get bigger.

Thank you for not quitting! Was hoping this might help with my issue. Nothing as complicated as what you dove into. I replaced my seat switch because the engine was dying when I pulled in the left handle. That did not correct it. Was preparing to load on trailer and take to shop, cut the grass. Next time it did it again. Not sure where to start. I'm just a 60 year old lady. Is there a switch in the left arm? Or any other ideas you might have. Thank you for doing a great job

Great work , those briggs are unkillable the tiller will last long time now. I fixed 100 of these engine never seen one break the intake manifold like that before

Thanks

Working your magic again . Great fix .

Great vid! That first bit was super funny!

My husband says if you don't know about the drag bar on the back of the tiller. If you adjust it down it will keep the tiller from pulling you along. He says this is his favorite kind of tiller and he loves your channel.

Don't be afraid to use Screw Extractors to get broken bolts out. Invest in some small sized punches, that's how you start small drill holes in bolts. And if you're missing a certain size screw extractor just start out drilling the whole small and use the smaller size screw extractors. Once you get a little practice at them they are actually will be your best friend. Keep up the good work!! I love watching your videos😊

Glad they put 2 different styles of key Way keys to get it mounted to the what ever you want to mounted to

If you remove the battery before folding the string trimmer, the battery end will push past the guard and clip into place, holding it collapsed. Thats what "dewalt was thinking with that design".

One thing also on the decks, the yahzookee has 3 cutting blades, which they are shorter and stronger and gives a better cut :)

Are you gay? U have your jeans outside your boots 🤮

I enjoy your channel always good information keep up the good work

Sell it to me

Old fuel equals water in the fuel which prevents fuel from passing through a paper filter.

Where are you located

Ethanol gas 👎

Great job, you must have been super happy on the first start!

What lift is that in your shop?

YOUNG MAN, "YOU" have impressed this 82 year old. You are using your mind intelligently in restoring cast aside equipment from those who tend to toss, rather than "WORK". My hat is off to you.

The reason your handle is too short is that your are missing two extension tubes that should have been included.

👎👎👎👎👎

Where does the inlet tube going to the air box go?

Hello I have a John Deere L130 that I bought used. It has a loose wire that I have no idea where it goes. Can you help if I send you a video ?

You really went into that one. Nothing more American than the fix and flip.

A vital part of troubleshooting is understanding how a system works Fuel systems, ignition systems, sealing systems, propulsion systems, etc. are all part of the machine. Keep learning and your projects will get easier and better. You made a few assumptions but not many. Most of all you aren't afraid to THINK, and that's half the battle. The more you think and do, the more do, the more you will learn. Every bit of knowledge you gain is like adding another tool to your toolbox, and the more you learn the bigger your toolbox will be. Don't stop. It's not my intent to imply that you made mistakes, you *LEARNED* and you didn't give up! That's awesome. You did a hell of a job. Well done.

Indeed

I have a ford 345 and she starts right up every time

Man I just came across one for $800 with 613 hours. What’s your opinion, should I jump on it?

That was a good video you explained it good

Have you done a regular video on this subject? This is something wondered about since I’ve been subscribed to your channel - how is it that you seem to not have a lot of expertise in this field but have as much old equipment as some of the old timers.

Deck is in good shape most of the decks on them are gone

It was made by Murray in Lawrenceburg Tennessee

Have you thought about buying any water finding based? Lots of videos on RUclips about water finding paste. Possibly your local auto parts store has some.

Hey man I’m near you and I’m looking for a hydro for my John deer 400 series. I seen you had one in your lot lol. I’d love to make a deal and buy it from ya!

Water doesn't 'work its way out' of a small engine.

Use a host WTF

I have a john deere la145 2008 I have need my Carburetor clean on it And it runs weak when it comes in contact with tall grass

I know taking the fuel tank(s) off is preferred, but in a pinch, I have poured a 16oz bottle of isopropyl alcohol into the 15 gal tank to scavenge the water when I could tell there was water in the fuel and it's always worked out and saved a TON of time. So about ~ 4oz of isopropyl for a zero turn tank? The crud in the tank, nothing but flushing the tank will fix this. Even after several tank fulls, I still see some amount in the bottom of the tank.

I have put filters on a lot of heavy machinery, some vehicles, and some small engines. I would seriously look at switching to WIX filters for pretty much everything. FRAM used to be a quality filter, but now they are paper, cardboard and cheap materials inside. They can actually collapse and release what they've filtered out. You can look this up on several sites, one of which is Project Farm. I used to use them in the 80's. No longer. I also have this exact same model AYP built Husqvarna RZ4623, which was also given to me with the same problems as yours, drive problems and valve cover gasket leak. ... ummm, oops, this is what happens when you post before watching the whole video. LOL Nice choice on the WIX!

I have this exact mower, also given to me with almost 300 hours on it, with exactly the same drive belt routing as yours had at first. Mine was working great, then instantly quit moving in the middle of a turn, both sides. I cannot move the idler pulley by hand, I have to tap on it with a hammer to tighten it. Then it moves. ? I also have the leaking left valve cover gasket, which I ordered 2 gaskets for both sides, just haven't installed them yet.
