For their amazing sound effects in the “Grass Rats” video.
I’m so happy to hear that you’re going to continue making your RUclips videos
You cannot beat "Common-Sense" and Taryl is a Fix for All!
I love the editing on this channel it gives these videos so much personality ontop of what Taryl is already giving
Again. Ted did a GREAT job. He's the back-bone of the team.
Taryl, love your channel brother. You are truly one of a kind. Where else can a person go to get the best hands on instruction while being entertained? You're the best, and you are totally appreciated. Keep up the good work and thank you.
You are a great teacher, Taryl !!
I so enjoy your videos.
Thank you.
I have a Lawn Boy Mower that I bought 50 years ago. I bought it in 1974 when I bought my first Home and still looks new because I washed it after every mow. It is a 2 stroke, but I like it because it is very light. The only thing I did is I replaced the spark plug. I do put premium gas in it. It runs great and starts on the first pull. Now at 68 I am glad I kept it.
I like your kind of story. Getting value out of your power equipment. Keep using the premium. Avoid ethanol. Fuel system problems with marine and small gas engines due to ethanol makes up most of the problems my mechanic friends deal with.
That's neat, I can remember cutting my Grandma's yard every summer with her 2 stroke Lawn Boy. Wish I still had it because it was light as heck.
Dstromb lawn boy is without question one of the best lawn mowers ever no question never get rid of it you might want to buy some spare parts so you can rebuild it when it gets real tired💯💯💯🇺🇲💯💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍👍👍💪💪💪🎉🎉🎉🙏🙏🙏🙏
I just about had a fricken heart attack. At 44:45, I was 'nodding off' a lil' bit, and Elkskins comes on there with his 'FIRE IT UP, FIRE IT UP !!", and scared the absolute crap out of me.
Boy, if that was my engine I would’ve opted for the Taryl repair for sure! Same thing can happen to the expensive new replacement head and yer back in the same boat. Great job as always!
It's a great tip to keep the head fins clear. Every year I clear grass from my Krohler heads, without Taryl's advice from years ago I would have dropped guides in that motor.
The shrouds are a pain to remove, but worth it when I see what lurks in those passages.
I was surprised to see you guys on Svengoolie last night. You were great. Can't wait to see more little Johnny. Thanks Lanny.
Amazing how much damage one little flufster can do building a nest under the blower housing. Nice job on the repair.
Love you guys, please never give up, your humours really good
You Sir are an Old School Master Mechanic ! I Really Enjoy your Videos ! Thank You for Shearing your Knowledge
Love your videos tyral, also i love that you quoted, guys and gals, im glad you included both, THANK YOU SIR AS WELL AS YOUR RESPECT TO YOUR FOLLOWERS, TOP NOTCH YOU ARE AND YES YOUR TEETH ALSO TOP NOTCHED
Great videos, you guys have saved this old man lots of money. Thank all of you for the help.
Awesome video God Bless you and your family Amen
That should be a lifetime repair on that scrapper. Nice work 👍👍
LOL..., "Love notes", Hands up, Black Hawk down moment! Cracks me up!
You're right Taryl, I have a riding mower with an 18.5 hp Intek Break's & Scrap'em engine in it, and every time I finish mowing, I use my Stilch leaf blower and make sure the whole engine, mower and cooling fins are blown off. I also change the oil and oil filter every other year, and the mower is a cheap one from 2017, and still runs strong, and good compression etc. I changed the oil and filter on it when it was new after about the first 10-15 hours of use, then the next season, but now it seems to be well broken in and the oil still looks clean after 2 years of use so I just change the oil every other year.
I have the 22hp version in my JD LA135. Every year, after leaf cleanup is over, I remove the fan shroud and blow everything out with compressed air. Then the tractor gets a bath and I jerk the deck off and install the snowblower. Every 200 hours I adjust the valves. I have inspected those guides the past two valve adjustments and so far, no movement. 830 hours on it so far and it still runs great. I also added drain and fill plugs to the Tuff Torq transaxle, so that gets changed every 100-200 hours with Mobil 1 synthetic 20w-50.
A+ Taryl! Always great humor and knowledge on your channel(s).
There you go! Take the air filter off, start the engine and use the engine to suck the nest right on in. Great job!
Yeah, I noticed that too.
Another great video. Good dinner tonight Taryl
I just had this happen. I usually check everything good in the spring but had some crap going on so just jumped on and started mowing. The next week had more time and wabam! Had a big mouse nest over the right jug! Its a 2007 crapsman 22hp intek. I have taken good care of it. Still doesnt burn any oil, origional nikki six carb have never had a problem with it. Just got lucky it was still somewhat cool out so it didnt overheat.
Taryl I was watching your cat story man what heart breaking story,I never cared for cats ether but we ended up with a kitten from my wifes boss when, she found with out a mommy in a colorado blizzard, had him for 17 years when ended up with cancer,and we had to put him down. 3 days later a feral cat showed we had him for 7 years and we lost him to cancer, now we adopted 2 cats brothers.Anyway I we are glad things turned out for the best for you guys.I just started to watch your videos great job.say hi to your kittys from Tony&Barb from Colorado. 😊
Thank you Mr taral.
You forgot to tell us how much the new head cost (and edit in a big cash register sound effect, "Ka-Ching!") 🤣
Back on the day Chrysler had problems with the exhaust guides dropping on the 3.0 Mitsubishi engine. We used to cut a grove on the guide with a special tool and put a snap ring on the guide to keep it from dropping. You could probably do the same thing with that guide. The snap ring we used was a wire type without the holes for snap ring pliers.
Well, someone's got to go first with the "good head" jokes 😃.
Taryl's one lucky guy! Breaks & Scrap'em always gives good head.
Who's next?
OMG I keep hearing Rick Moranis and I was waiting for Taryl to say "Ok who brought the rodent's nest?" 😂😂😂😂....thank you guys for the vids
I had a 24 or 25 hp drop all 4 push rods at the same time !!!!! I had to order new heads ( this was after the pandemic ) and waited 11 months for them !!!! . I think all of us shops should get a petition to have Briggs and Stratton make replacement valve guides for these . It makes no sense to have pushed in guides, but no replacements !😮
Lol it's always informational and entertaining. 👍
Fluffy the rat strikes back
You're welcome, from germany ... Guten Tag ;-)
Taryl. Your a good teacher. You have teach. Me. A. Lot and I been working on small engine since jr.high and I 64 be 65 on my birthday . And I worked on pumps compressor tools and all kinds of other stuff thur the years.
Always watched your videos. Learn something new and as always entertain with the show .... Keep Them Coming 😊
...Taryl talking about "cheap" lawn mower parts,etc..... in my area i think there are no more lawn/garden repair shops(mom/pop)...gone. thankfully there is youtube channels like Taryl's help us grass rats out...
Same here. People just throw away mowers when they have an issue, and those that don't, have gardeners.
That's why I'm opening up a shop in my area
Your rodent laugh sound always makes me smile
Boy Taryl you are awesome at small engine repair and fabrication. I just don't understand why you don't have a digital caliper to measure the push rods instead of a drill gauge. And wow it's hard to believe your Dewalt impact has a Ni-Cad battery. How old is that thing? Great video though! I really enjoy the knowledge you share with us. Keep up the great work
Pro parts direct is really a pretty good place for stuff like this, haven't disappointed me yet.
when you retire you can do videos of old mower restorations. Just take your time and do the fun part of repair work.
good reminder I have a 1996 Dual Cylinder B&S engine I need to check the cooling fins on, that is the best running Engine
Thanks for the video, guys. Fire that goodin tight sumbeach up!
Thanks for the video Taryl.
" Beat it with a hammer " , it's one of my favorite terms . 😅
😢Fluffy also struck here😵The victim is a B&S Vanguard 16hp, possible fellon crawling from underneath the mower when I started it. I did some mowing with it, luckily temperature currenly outside not that high but will check the valveguides on whether they came out🤔 a bit. Engine still runs fine.
1 thing I learned working at a small engine dealer is that you should always make sure you mower and lawn equipment is put in sealed shed, garage, or storage garage. Costs you much less in the long run. No fluffy. Fluffy stays outside.
Taryl I really agree with you 100% about customers that nag you everyday but they just cant understand about the unavailable part or if its back ordered.
More long episodes!! Change of subject, but my 1996 John Deere GT262 wouldn't start. Solenoid just clicked. I remembered the solenoid fix video you did long time ago so I revisited it, made notes found a solenoid on an old junker mower, and it fixed it right up! Starts every time! I fixed a Tufftorq K46 transmission with help from your video and fixed a broken governor on a Briggs engine with help from your video! Many thanks! Your videos have saved me so much money.
My opinion, is the consumer buys the least expensive products they can find and if companies want to sell their products. They have to cheapen them up to compete with the least expensive ones. Unfortunately, this means the the products are becoming throw away products. I'd rather pay a little more and get a better product, but 30 years ago when I was young. I ether bought the cheap stuff or I didn't buy anything. I think there are a lot of people in that situation now.
I wonder how many gaskets have been put on without the backing paper removed from the sticky 🤔
All of them
I love your videos, Taryl. Many greetings from Germany!!
It is good practice if you have a leaf blower to blow the cylinder cooling fins thoroughly after every use. It is also a good idea to blow the entire machine off after every use. Clean machines work better than those that are clogged with lots of debris. Just like a clean vehicle drives better than a dirty one. I know that is really not true, but it just feels that way, same with a clean grass cutting machine. One thing I can't stand is a dirty vehicle or a piece of lawn equipment. Using a leave blower instead of a power washer when cleaning on a regular basis is the best option. Bearings and water don't do well together. I only power wash my lawn equipment at the end of each season before putting them in storage for the winter, and after cleaning I grease and lube every moving part. If whoever brought that machine in for Taryl to work one would have blown out the cooling fins on a regular basis, he would not be paying Taryl to replace the head. Enjoyed the video, Taryl. Always look forward with a cup of freshly brewed cup of coffee to set down and watch your Sunday videos.
If it isn’t too time consuming I use a little pressure scrubber with a turbo nozzle and BLAST the fins until they are squeaky clean
Yup, that's exactly what I do, every time I mow, before I put the mower away. Mine has a cheap Intek Break's & Scrap'em engine too, but it's only 18.5 horse not 21 like the one in this video. Gotta keep up the maintenance on those, and so far the one I have is going on it's 8th year now, and no problems so far.
You will always know you have mice in the engine. That smell as the engine warms up is nauseating.
Yeah nothin smell like dry roasted mouse guts. Mine were I the fan and were minced on startup and blow onto the cylinders to cook. Cleaned it up with the pressure washer but still smell it a year later
Would love to see a series on various mower decks. belt layout/replacement and reinstallation. Some of these MTD are a nightmare! Same with toro
I want one of those fancy shirts. I will look like a professional just like Taryl!
Taryl, I just saw your guest appearance on Svengoolie last weekend!!!! Amazing!
Thank you for sharing.👍
Awesome job have fun injoy your day be safe
I have done plenty of those head's when I worked as a mower mechanic about 7 years ago
The nose whistle really makes the video😂.
Those v twin engines are the best I have 800 hrs on mine and still going strong 💪
Great video. Set screw trick is new to me.
(In high pitched whiney, snarky tone) "Well Taryl, it's not bad, it's faulty or inoperative...if it's bad, you should spank it."
Another great video tyral and the boys we love ya loads from good old England ❤😊
Ya know you can replace those rawhide inserts in those hammers. You can also get brass inserts. I replaced my hammer with rawhide on one end and brass on the other. I had to make the special tool needed to expand, then crimp the inserts in the head and a big hydraulic press, which my friend has in his machine shop. If you want yours replaced, I'd be happy to fix it for ya.
We had a host at the first place I worked at. I was a cook at the local restaurant when I was a kid. My mom worked there and got me the job. There was always cup flying off the drying rack and breaking. On night I went down stairs to fill the ice bucket. I set the scope in the top of the machine and as I went up the stairs it fell off and was laying west off from the machine in the floor. I told the little girl I worked with that I’m not going back down there. She said that she was certainly not going down there. The building was built before the civil war in the little town in perryville ky, might of heard of the battle of perryville from history class. We called him Sam.
Thank you Taryl!
thanks
"Probably the last one on Earth" - ya think they got any on Mars , or the Moon?
Where Taryl bent the engine tin away from that engine,I removed my engine instead. Briggs had a flange bolt installed there thats impossible to remove. Fluffy had a nedt built in mine the size if a half loaf of bread . So I put s stud in the engine block so the tin could be removed .Fluffy does some damage,but fortunately this engine was not run and overheated.
Good and valuable lesson. Wonder why those push rods are different. That can’t be good but what do I know.
Thank you for another great video
Yes i did buy merch, love it by the way! Just did a JD 210 with an exhaust glowing red cuz fluffy made a nest in the blower housing!
Would the "support arches" on the new head be for additional heat dissipation?
Hello from Germany, thank's for greeting! Guten Tag (at daytime), or Guten Morgen (good morning), Guten Abend (evening time) Gute Nacht (good night, but more used before going to sleep)
@ 9:52
That's exactly how the pop sounds when I pull the tail off a cosplay girl.
Great job teral
I straightened my bent pushrod with a hammer, and re-installed it ,running good for years.😊😊😊😊😊😊.
excellent video and info thanks
{Evansville} Would be nice to have a temp gauge on the heads for these mowers. Using a leaf blower on the engine is the best that can be done, Every time before and after using to prevent this from happening.
I pulled out an old mower the deck rotted off from the junk pile a while back and rode it around and smoke started pouring out of the motor. mouse nest made of shredded leaves. I check my working mower every spring for it but didnt think about that one. doh. it was fine after I cleaned it.
Did you ever try knurling the guide o d ? We did that on automotive cylinder heads . Had good results .
I alway just drove the guide back in and staked it around the top. A new head is the best fix though.
GREAT VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Taryl and friends, Saw you and Slippers on TV last night. Pretty scary.
Actually there was more Slippers than Taryl. Man oh Man!
yeah I remember that video with that pushrod that zipped into the Oil sump
You hit the big time. Saw you on Svengooli. 😂
Wouldn’t you put the aluminum push rod on the exhaust side for expansion?
Fluffy got up in behind the dashboard of my mower (10 year old Sears Craftsman) and chewed up a bunch of wires connected to the starter switch. Now I start it with a knife switch, and the headlight switch opens and closes the fuel cutoff valve.
I ordered a replacement starter wiring harness from Sears last June. "They" said it was on backorder and I would have it by September. That November I received a headlight wiring harness with a broken bulb. Pretty sure the "customer service agent" I chatted with online was a bot.
Sears died years ago. Now it's just an AI that tricks people into sending it money.
Just bought a headlight harness on ebay , $8.99. 1000s sold. Came in 3 days.
The fricken A.I. bots are taking over. I dropped by the local McDonalds for a quick snack, drove up to the speaker. The person on the speaker sounded kinda weird as I gave him my order. Got to the pickup window....no one in the order booth, I was talking to a damned computer the whole time. What the hell is this world coming to ?????
Yea,I save old harnesses for just such an occasion along with the switches,and model numbers
I had a mower back a couple years ago had the rocker arm came off and I replaced a bent push rod it was the exhaust side put everything thing back together it hasn't gave me any trouble but now I wonder if that may have been the cause of it coming off in the first place ? It's still running so it must be ok but I'm wondering why it came off I was just thinking it came loose and fell apart ! May need to do a closer inspection of it, it's my mower so I'll look into it ?
I was recently given an old scrub cadet (I hate MTD junk, but is is free) with a kind-a-sucky engine that runs. It needs a new deck, which I ordered.
I just nabbed some Taryl apparel♥♥♥ Love the Mower Medic Tees♥
I had serious problems with mice for a few years in my garage. They were all over the place, building nests all over the place. Turns out they were feasting on the grass patching seed I had stored in a plastic bag buried under a shelf. Threw that out. But the worst problem was , I got my Summer car out for the year and it didn't run right. Checking around, I took off the air cleaner and found it was packed with a mouse nest. Got all that out, replaced the air filter, and it ran good again.
Your hair is looking especially lovely tonight
Hi Taryl, I watch you channel, I'm from Downunder and I had a shop. but it's exactly as you say !!!! There are no longer parts available and the classic ''this is no longer available''. The parts have no quality anymore [ parts are made by the Chinese, ]
B/S used to be American. I think they get others to make there parts same with Krohler. Victa. here GONE Lawson/Kirby =
Tecumseh over there. Ans Honda It was time to shut shop, B/S should of never got rid of the L shape head engine [flat tops]
It's sad that the game is over
They just want you to buy a new one over and over again
There is no pride anymore of quality
Cheers
