My original battery finally quit after 8.5 years. I thought spring 2023 it was done but I got some fresh battery acid across state line.. can't even buy it in this state far as I can tell. For $7 i got another year and a half. Anyway I couldn't get any more out of it so I replaced the battery. I could see corrosion in the cable ends so even though it had a fresh battery it took about 3 tries to start the mower. So today I finally replaced the cable and found out there's wires 12 ways to Sunday going in to the cable. On mine anyway. So when it wouldn't start i had to start tracing wires and see why i wasn't getting juice. I figured out on mine the wire i missed was kinda hidden at the bottom. I didn't remove the old cable that's fastened 43 places I'd imagine for liability purposes but I missed one tie in and that one went to the thingamajig that quit 3 years ago out in the middle of the lawn and I went to the house that day and found out it was obsolete and figured out how to wire around it that day but this day i forgot it. Now it starts every time. If it won't start there's a wire somewhere fastened to a thingmajig that was a really good idea when it was new but since there's no way to replace it everyone just takes their ballcap off, covers their heart, looks around and says, "Yeah, it was a good idea" as they throw some dirt over it to cover it up. Mine has an extra cable now that's divorced from everything except the 43 places it's fastened for liability purposes.

I literally just switched out the belt in 10 minutes without having to take the deck apart. Do you really think they would make it that difficult to change a belt?

Ran out of fuel on the road filled it up and primes it and still no luck

Need help my truck isn’t getting any fuel into the fuel bowl for my 1995 OBS f250 7.3

You can use electric tape too

Great video, Brad! Your Dad and your Pop Pop would be so proud of you. Great demonstration of your work ethics! So proud of you! Love, Mom!!

Hardest working American I know! Way to go Mr B🇺🇸😊

16:35 Some guys have actually loosened (or removed) the engine mount nuts to allow them to carefully jack the engine up a couple of inches for improved clearance. I suppose anything helps!

14:10 Not stated, but important, is that you should disengage the NEGATIVE (-) terminal first when disconnecting the battery. When reconnecting, attach POSITIVE (+) terminal first. Remember: ReMOVE = MINUS, RePLACE = PLUS.

5:50 Strongly recommend replacing oil drain plug with a Fumoto slide-open valve with snout.

A new toy ohh boy. Don’t brake it.

12:55 July 15,2024 thanks to the point no frills

I am glad I am not the only one drowning in self inflicted projects. At least you have the acreage to space them out! Is that a racoon at 8:00?

👍👍

Feeling the pressure of life it’s a bitch but your an old school graduate just keep your head on straight and don’t let it bring you down

Amen man! RUclips needs to monetize your videos man. Thats messed up.

Great video brotha!!! Time and balance are everything and it feels impossible most of the time but you seem to have it figured out. Your pops was a gangsta 100% 🤣. I remember standing on the back of that brush hog while you were brush hogging the fields 😂.

I appreciate this video man👍How many days or hours would you say the whole job took you to finish up?

There's a reason logging equipment has big heavy cages and canopies.

Just a note for those who pre fill their fuel filters: The big hole on the top of the filter is the clean side, so if you prefill make damned sure you have good clean fuel, or cover that big hole and fill through the smaller outside holes. I've seen guys prefill using the sediment bowl drain, putting a bunch of shit on the clean side of the filter, and setting themselves up for a very expensive failure later.

Hope your wife has a nice life insurance policy on you!

That dozer is so awesome man! I won’t lie my ass puckered up when you were pushing that dead tree with the blade 🤣. Just having that boom on it is worth it; with that counterweight a lot of work can be done with that machine.

I think this shows just how important a 450 dozer with a side boom is to the average homeowner. Glad you didn’t die. The falling branch was a good one I would of spilled my beer

Love the recklessness, it was quite entertaining lol

I like that 450. It's Really nice.I would never have any use for it at my house but if I did I would take it! I wondered what you were doing with that old tree. It could have gone wrong really fast! But you did it!

That toolbox is pretty sweet set up! Well done and nice showcase of that toolbox.

Great Video, where can I get fuel pressure gauge ? I’m having the same problem and I switched the ICP Sensor, CMP Sensor as well as the IPR Valve all from Ford and still no luck Thank you

I’m a sucker for organization like this! I hope this new box works out well for you 😊

To much mouth for me

Where are you at on the blue Ford? If that ever comes up?

Great review. Would be cool to integrate some flat LED lighting so when it’s open at night it will shine down on your tools.

Trying to decide if I want to attempt this it looks like a bit of a hassle lol nice breaker bar though

I’m not sure what year mine is but I just got one it’s a jd 300 and says 92 on the back, lots of side to side play just like yours! (How I found your vidio:) I’d love a manual!!!

Suggestion- don’t torque lug nuts while lifted off the ground. It puts load on transmission in park abd can damage it. It should be checked when it’s resting on the ground under load.

Cool so u moved the engine thanks for showing this. This job is a real pain in the ass.

Another example of great mechanical engineering hindered by bad excessive electrical... And I'm an electrician...

I have same issue with my exmart quest zero turn I got new ignition coil wire but I don’t know where it connects to from the two coils can you help me with that

Brad - I am going to share this with my Ford, Edison Assembly Plant friends. They will enjoy this....even your colorful comments#

This was such a great video. I learned a lot 🤓

My dad was a Tractor mechanic and he loved his Ford Tractors he could tear one apart blindfolded and put it all back together again! I think he would agree with you!

Me watching not even knowing what a stator is. 🤔✍️

What’s up with leaving the choke on while running it??

I had the same leak however I spent hours looking for it and thought it was the drain hose and found the same issue with the torque on the hose barb and I tightened it up and changed the oil put it all back together and mowed and sure enough it still leaks. Off to try and find it again

Thanks for the video, very helpful. Do you have the torque specifications for the spark plugs? Thanks again. DT

Went to the local dealership and inquired about the price on the 60k service, they said 1100-1300 depending on the model…. They’re insane

I did my first oil change on the Subaru with the drain plug snug, a couple days later I noted a tiny leak from the drain plug, I brought out the torque wrench and did the plug to spec (30ft./lbs) and I haven’t had a leak since. 30ft./lbs is significantly more substantial than most people’s snug and then some. Moral of the story pull out the torque wrench

My first oil change on my Impreza and ascent I had to use a breaker bar to loosen the oil drain plug. Never had a problem with a drain plug before. Don’t know what Subaru is doing. I figured they crank it down to make it hard for DYI.

You don't have to use needle-nose pliers to remove the spark plugs. All you do is cut a couple two or three strips of tape like electrical tape or whatever you have and stick them inside the walls of the socket and it will grip the spark plug just like a spark plug socket.

thanks this will help me putting brake bands on my allis 5050

Did you ever put the 1710 back together
