Love the reply all the way from Germany. Wow. I do plan on making more videos.

Thank you for the kind words. This is my goal. Just trying to help. I am no mechanic, just a man with some tools. That knows how to do something the wrong way several times. Lol

Thank you for the kind words

I have enjoyed working on these.

I never thought about paint. Latex paint is a rubber.

@@lsdgarageI think what he is talking about is liquid electrical tape. They sell it at Lowe’s cheap

Sweet these mowers get a bad name because they atr sold at Walmart. But if you take care of one they will last a long time

At that point I didn't have a power washer. The sump gasket was leaking so badly I was afraid it would pressure water into the engine. I plan on cleaning the mower up in an upcoming video. I got a pretty radical idea for a dump bed on back of it. Using a old atv rack and a frame from an old mower.

I bet the coil is cracked and moisture got into it. Causing corrosion have you tried to replace it?

You can get one for about 30 dollars on internet.

Oh thanks, yeah ive tried replaced it but same problem. Thank you so much for replying.

Maybe it can be bad grounds too?

very interesting.. i wish i could be some kind of help but i cant even begin to think what could cause that

I agree a compression tester will help alot. Heads for this engine are getting hard to find. So might want to take all measures to fix the one you have first.

@@lsdgarage i had to come back to the video it turns out its just a head gasket but i havent really looked into the head a lot i still have a lot of cleaning to do to the head and top of the block and she should be good to go

Thank you for the feed back. The overhead cam on this engine isn't as bad as I thought it was gonna be. This is the first time I have touched a ohc engine.

These are really tough machines if you halfway take care of them.

Welcome to the club..... lol lol 😆 🤣

They usually respond well with a carburator cleaning.

I show how to clean one of these carbs on the video junk yard dog.

@@lsdgarage it doesn’t do anything new battery new silenoe charge the safety brake or cloche

I can find atv tires and rims on market place for less than 100 dollars pair. Atv tires for lawnmower rims you cannot find used easily. And new they are expensive.

Torque to yield. I replace head bolts on automobiles everything I take a head off though.

Why not

My tape measure must have been wrong. Lol

I have used this one for a 12 hour period. It was on and off all day. We was sand blasting a tractor. Had another compressor hooked to it for help. Parts are scarce for this one. Divilbiss model is a close fit.

Well, I used my built-in torque wrench and over torqued the bolt for the piston. The piston is a discontinued part. So now it is broken until I can find a cross-referenced part.

Yes I agree. Just so happened I got extras around. I am planning on doing same thing on front end also.

What is your bolt pattern. U said 5 bolt pattern. But what is the space between bolt holes?

A cheap automotive rim from scrap yard may fit.

@@lsdgarage I measured the bolt pattern , but can't recall what it is . Likely same as a auto , but finding auto rims that fit a 10 " tire would be impossible Just easier to cut the mower rim hubs out and get drilled for bolt pattern

@@outinthesticks1035 I agree.

Yes I got a plan to put some on.

Is the tire ok tho is it strong enough

I didn't know that

We was out of dish soap. So I used my wife's expensive "bath and body works soap". This will be my new -goto- lube for tires. Lubes tires plus makes your hands soft... lol thank you for the good coment.

I am getting a compression tester this week. Never owned one. I did check flywheel key off camera and it is fine. I think it may be a stuck valve that is stuck open.

@@lsdgarage If you have low compression, take a look at the valve adjustment, if the valves are out of adjustment that can cause low compression. Any compression reading below 40 PSI is suspect. It could still run with compression that low. But it would be very under powered. Good luck, keep us posted I subscribed, I want to see how that thing runs.

Glad you like it. And please send me pics of your electric wheel chair when u are done.

I'm thinking it is something to do with valves. Maybe a stuck valve or valve adjustment. I am going to buy a compression tester and leak down tester also.

I wondered about putting rear tires on front. But I didn't know if they were same shaft size.

Yeah that's what I'm going to do

I am buying a compression tester for the next video.

Go to HF and get it plus leak down tester Best tools ever mechanic needs

That was a test and you passed.... lol

Doug Seaman As long as we're splitting hairs... It's called a "Valve Stem Core". But I'm sure everyone else understood what he meant, even it's just refered to as "Removing the stem". Am I wrong? BTW, it was a tube, so it's not mounted to anything. Sheesh!? 🤣🤣🤣

I agree

I was very impressed at how complete the 14.5 hp was. The mower deck is shot holes all in it and bearings locked up. I believe that was why it was put out to pasture.

You noticed. I had to bring my super car to the show

Lol I have a orange one if u wanna add it to the collection 🤣

This one is a over head valve engine.. and yes I agree this thing should clean up nicely.

@@lsdgarage Yeps👍🏽

Check your fuel line and that little red filter. They clog up over time. Makes them choke down once you engage a load on them. I cannot stand those little red filters. I prefer the clear ones. You can see your fuel flow

Yes I agree those models look the best.

I personally know the original owner of this mower. I know how much care he gave it. I am trying to do the right thing by it and making it a better version of itself.

It’s my personal mower also Hardly use it because I’m testing customers mower all the time

It is hydrostatic I can try. But with my experiences with hydrostatic transmissions. They don't handle speed well. Do you have any ideas on how to make it faster?

@@lsdgarage The only thing I know of is put a smaller pulley on the transmission, some change the engine drive pulley with the transmission pulley, that will usually make them around 20-25 MPH which sounds slow but with a lawn mower is actually pretty fast. You could over ride the engine governor, but that's really a bad idea, you could over rev it and have all kinds of things go bad like a throwed rod. Not good. Just putting a small pulley on the transmission could get you up to about 12-15 MPH, then add a bigger pulley to the engine if you want to go faster. Just remember big pulley on engine, small pulley on transmission equals higher speed. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. I enjoyed your video sir.

I enjoy the feed back. That is definitely something I'm going to look into. Thank you for the feed back

@@lsdgarage You're welcome, another thing, if you change to a lot smaller pulley, you will most likely have to get a shorter drive belt. Thank you sir, I enjoy trying to help others. I put a25 horsepower Kohler V twin, on a Murry 40 inch cut that had a 12.5 horsepower engine, I just got the engine on last Friday, I need to do some more work, like the hood hinges needs to be moved. I plan on using it for cutting grass though. Should be able to cut some tall grass.

Oh wow I forgot about that day. Our lights went out on the trailer. We had to use 2 cheap flashlights, ductape, and red tail light tape for tail lights on the trailer. Didn't you have to sit in the back and blink a flash light when we turned?....
