You never know what you'll get on the internet, but as soon as I saw his mustache, I knew that I could trust his advice. Great video!
Always trust the moustache!! LOL! Thanks for that and thank you for watching, Hayden!
His videos have not let me down yet!
That's what I thought to lol. Those are words to live by.
@@dwcoffey 😆🌈😆👍🏼
Omg I said the same thing I’m like ok the mustache says he knows what he’s talking about
Right to the point, a no-nonsense video, and no annoying music. Excellent
Thank you for watching, Vikas!
Thank you. I just bought a tractor this month. The instructions manual doesn't tell you much. I was getting crazy. Then I found your video. It was a life saver. THANK YOU!!!!!!
Thanks for watching, Miguel! I have several other videos on this tractor, please check them out too. thanks!
@@dwcoffey Yes I will!!!!!
Your hardwork in demonstrating these tasks is helping me and many others... thanks a ton
Thank you so much, Ramy! I really appreciate the comment and thank you for watching!
I’m an adult & this is the first oil change I’ve ever done & it worked! You’re like my internet Dad now! Thanks a million!
Thank you very much for watching, Dan! I really appreciate your comment and I'm glad you got it done! Great job!!
Thanks man.. high quality video and no annoying background music -- right to the point, that's how it's done. Much appreciated. Rock on.
Thank you sir! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the great comment!
Thanks a ton. I have a manual for the 22 hp v twin and it shows two different oil drain systems, neither of which are on my engine. I tried calling Briggs and Stratton's help number in the manual and the best the automated system could do was direct me to local engine shops. No human interaction at all with B/S. It's the day after the 4th of July so no one is working today, but your video saved me. I've never seen or known about the little oil valve on the side of this engine, but your video was exactly what I needed. Thanks very much. Outstanding work.
Hello again Dennis. I am the divorcee that will only go to you for instruction on my Husquvana! I can't thank you enough for such clear and precise instructions. I always learn so much from watching your tutorials! Thanks again! 👍😃
Thank you very much, Shelia!! I really appreciate that and I'm so glad these videos help. Thank you so much for watching!
I knew how to change oil and wanted to just get to see this mower a little closer, but you did a really great job being slow and specific about what to do for anyone who has never done it and is afraid and hasn't realized it's pretty easy!
That's great and I'm glad this helped, Michael!
Explained step by step. Give him score of 100 out of 100. Great job. My service manual had none of this information in it. I am so glad this person zoomed in with camera. Even showed the clips and which cable stays out. Wow this is one of best videos on maintenance I have seen. I am very grateful here .
Thank you for watching!
It helps to take 2 pieces of wood at least 2 inches and place in front of each tire on the opposite side of the oil drain and push your mower up on the blocks of wood, it helps the oil drain faster that way and makes sure you get it all, I'm really kinda surprised he did not do this.
Hello Dennis just checking on you and the family and always thanking you for your videos pray that everything is all right with everyone God bless be safe🙏
Thank you so much, Kenneth! I really appreciate it, and hope all is great with you and your family. We're all doing pretty well and can't complain. Thanks again!
My father passed away years ago, too soon, so was never able to learn this from him, so thanks for teaching me how to do this. now to get out there and do it. Soon as I heard parts house I knew that term as my folks and I lived in Eastern Tennessee when he passed.
Hi Jeffrey, thanks for watching! I'm sorry about your father. I'm glad that these videos are helpful to you. Apparently some of the things I say are like that....I'll get comments every now and again about a word or phrase I use. Of course, my wife and kids like to poke fun at me for the way I say some things too. LOL! It's all good, I like the teasing.
1) I took off the yellow factory oil drain plug and installed a 1-1/2" brass bushing on the engine block drain & then reinstalled the yellow drain on to this brass bushing. That made each oil change, going forward much easier (no tube needed & no oil mess) as the oil now simply drained straight down into the pan. The brass bushing cost me $2.00
2) Before removing the oil filter, get a regular paper plate , and bend it in half (putting a V in the middle). Then slip the bent plate under the oil filter and proceed to remove the filter. "NO MORE MESS."
3) Your fuel filter is dirty and should be changed. Ebay has them, when I last looked, 5 filters for $2.50
Thank you for watching and commenting! I eventually just replaced the oil drain valve: ruclips.net/video/rGfXpM1J2g4/видео.html The only thing I'd do different now is I'd use galv pipe instead of black pipe. And I started using a milk jug for my oil filer catch: ruclips.net/video/rGfXpM1J2g4/видео.html
Great video. Seeing the oil spill when removing the filter was super helpful. Knowing that was going to happen I built a triangle with raised edges with foil. Slid this under the filter before removing it and it funneled the oil perfectly into the catch pan.
Yes! Great idea....several people have mentioned that to me since posting this video and that's also what I do now. Saves a lot of mess! Thanks so much for watching and sharing!
This dude gives a very good description of how to service the mower. And mercy, he has some strong darn fingers to remove that plastic pin holding the cowling in place. Again, great explanation . Thank you.
Thank you Daniel! I appreciate you watching!
This helped me a lot. Having to learn to do a lot of maintenance on my mower. Since I am a widow don't want to take it to the shop. Saves me a lot of money. Thanks for your step by step techniques.
Thanks for watching, Ash Nicole! I'm very glad to know this helped! I have lots of other videos on maintaining this mower, I hope they will be useful to you also.
You have been an answer to prayers. My dad passed over 3 years ago and I help care for my mother. Living a country life when your a city girl makes you search for help. And sir, you have been wonderful.
Thanks for watching, Dana! I am so glad to hear these have been helpful and I really appreciate your kind comment!
Dana, same kind of situation here and you can easily become overwhelmed with having to learn so much technical/mechanical stuff. City girls do have potential though, and when you have to do these things, I will say you start to get confidence. It's way cool to be competent, but sure takes some grit and patience when you've spent most of your life and never had to do the "man things." You go girl! And agree with you, Dennis Coffey is awesome with what he teaches.
cloudskimmin they sure do. Soon after that I had changed the car, lawnmower and tractor batteries. Greased the zerks on the tractor and lawnmower. And changed fuel and air filters, and changed oil and spark plugs on lawnmower. I learn a ton here and the more I do the more the country girl wins out!! 🥳🥳
Both of y'all are awesome and make the work on a YT channel so worthwhile! It's great to know that some of this helps...you should both be proud of overcoming the obstacles and getting it done!! Bravo!!
Thank you again! Your videos are at the right pace and I love it that your instructions are so easy to follow, especially for someone like me who has zero mechanical knowledge. I lean on your channel to get me through and they make me feel so empowered! Thanks again!
Thank you so much Suzi! I'm really glad the videos are helpful, and I appreciate you watching!
Dennis thank you for your clear and concise instructions. I was searching for RUclips for blade sharpening when I came across your video. I learned that I needed a clear plastic tube to help drain the oil. I didn't have one, so I thought. I went back to my manuals, which I keep in large Ziploc bags, and found the tube along with a deck hose adapter. I too don't like having to keep up with extra parts. For my first oil change I improvised by cutting an old shoebox top in half and fashioning it under the oil drain plug and oil filter to divert as much oil as possible. It worked well to keeping oil off the frame. Since you helped me, I'd like to offer a tip. I usually drain the gas from my lawn equipment engines during the Texas winter month so that old gas doesn't gum up the carburetors over time. I put an inline shutoff valve between the gas tank and fuel filter which allows me to shut off the fuel and run the engine until it runs out.🙂
Thanks for watching! Glad you found the drain tube. Check out my other video showing how I modded the drain port to eliminate keeping up with a tube. I agree, don't like extra parts. Your tip is great, I do the same with all my equipment. When it's time to store, I shut off the fuel valve and run the carb dry. Saves on a lot of maintenance. It's an old tip from my Dad. :)
This videos are great!
64 yrs old and now living in the country. I have the same mower. Fixed 2 flats, I learned how to change blades and sharpen blades, check tire pressure and always check oil before mowing. I’m way late in changing oil but will do so after I get what I need. I’ll watch your vids on all the other things you show on maintenance! Woohoo and again thanks for CS information!
👍🏼🇺🇸👍🏼🇺🇸🙋🏻♀️
Thank you for watching!!
I was wondering if you changed the tube or use the flat tire stuff I have 2 slow leaks and just wondering which is easiest thanks
This was the perfect video I was looking for. I've just arrived at my first oil change. Thank-you very much Dennis! Excellently done video!
Thank you for watching, Lloyd! Also, thank you for the nice comment....I'm glad this helped!
I can't thank you enough for making such a thoughtful and detailed video! So incredibly helpful to have this info for my specific lawn mower. Finally confident that I can handle this maintenance on my own!
Thank you very much for watching and for the kind comment! I'm sure you will do a great job!
Another great vid for newbies Dennis. Kudos.
Punch a hole in the filter to drain it and put a thin rag atop the chassis before spinning it off.
I saw your later vid on replacing the quick oil drain valve - instead of a cap on a nipple. On my old one I terminated w/ a 3/8” air line ball valve (I removed the handle and store it with my tractor stuff.
I haven’t done it yet on the current tractor but
I’ll probably just loctite double-nuts onto the valve handle shaft, and turn it w/ a nut driver.
Great idea!!
Ok. Amazing video and helpful tips. City guy here with ZERO mechanical know-how. Thank you! 👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching! Be sure to check out some of my other videos, they may be helpful to you.
Thank you so much for the oil change video! Easy to follow for a rookie oil-changer like me. You're a life-saver!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment!
Thank you, sir, for saving me hours or torment (mechanically-inclined I'm not). Your step-by-step instruction videos, designed for people like me who use a hammer for a screwdriver, made this an easy-peasy procedure. And, it allowed me to do it without reading the manual, where I always get into trouble. Kudos to you!
Thank you very much for watching and for the nice comment! The 'hammer for a screwdriver' made me laugh!! I'm glad the vid helped!!
Your knowledge and step by step instructions are amazing! Love learning from people that know their stuff and are genuinely easy to follow. Great video.
Thank you Curt!! I appreciate you watching!
@@dwcoffey I am sorry I didn't see that part of the video my mistake I thank you for your advice as one of your viewer's stayed you are a life saver after seeing how you walk threw step by step if paying attention hahaha I and a monkey could do it thank you so much for your advice sincerely Johnny G Rogers Thank you Dennis .
Dennis do you use synthetic oil in your tractor
Watched your video this morning and it helped a bunch. I have a 2017 YTH18542 and used an empty washer fluid jug w bottom cut out to put under the filter. No mess made. Great comment section for the win!
Thank you for watching, Robert! That's a great way to do it, I just recently posted a video showing the same with a milk jug: ruclips.net/video/3C6B1TQkcy4/видео.html Thanks for sharing!
Dennis, after I've drained the engine oil, and to avoid spills from the horizontally placed oil filter, I drill a 1/4" hole in the outside bottom edge of the oil filter. I can still place my filter wrench over the filter for its removal after the filter has drained of oil. It's a lot easier to wipe my drill bit than it is cleaning up all that spilled oil. -Gerry, Kirkwood, MO USA
Great idea Gerry!! I hadn't thought of draining by drilling! haha. I like it!
This was the best and most detailed video I found on step by step oil change. Thank you so much
Thank you JP! I appreciate you watching!
Your videos are excellent, They really came in handy today when I hit the 50 hour mark in my husqvarna Yth22v46 tractor. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for watching, Clothilde! I'm glad the videos helped!
Thank you Dennis. Tomorow I'll do my first oil change ever on my Husqvarna TC 342. After watching your video I am full of convidence. Now I'm going to search for a video where you explain to change the fuelfilter. Great job! High fives from Belgium!
Thank you Aaron! I appreciate you watching and I'm glad this helped. I'm sure you did a great job! I don't have a video yet on the fuel filter, but I'll try to get one up soon.
Thanks Dennis! I have not changed it since I got it from the factory because I read the maintenance manual and it said every 50 hrs.
But, thanks to you, I can do it myself, so I'll go ahead and change it. (Now at 22hrs) thanks for the reply and the videos!! Yours really are some of the best. Much appreciated.
Thank you for watching, Maria! I hope your mower is still going strong!
One of the best "fix-it" videos that I have seen! Thank you!
Thank you very much!! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the nice compliment!
I come back to this video for a refresher when I change my oil. I have the 24hp but it's the same procedure and it all looks the same.
Thanks for the excellent video!
Thanks for watching, Jack!
@@dwcoffey 👍
Thank you so very much Dennis! This coming from a single female who appreciates the thorough explanation of every thing! I just bought this mower and I feel confident after watching your video, I can change the oil and filter. And I will change the filter every time :)
That's great!! Good on you for tackling the job...I'm sure you will do a great job and get it done. Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback! I really appreciate it.
Suggestion : for the filter side , to prevent all the oil on the frame , utilize an old gallon jug and cut it lengthwise in half just below the “tapered” top part of the jug, kind of like making a scoop . Trim it to fit just under the filter area and assure that the top of the makeshift “reverse funnel”is pointing to the waste oil receptacle . Keep the cap if it helps control the spillage.
Thanks for watching, Scott! Great idea...that will do the trick!! Thanks
I have a cpl photos how do I add em
Thanks Scott, great idea, just bought a new ride one so I am keen to keep it clean, cheers
Good idea Scott..Thank You!
Awesome idea right there !
I could kiss you! I'm a new young widow trying to do this myself for the first time. Thank you for the great lighting and concise instructions.
Thank you for your kind words. I am sorry for your loss, Kerrie, and I also congratulate you on tackling these sorts of things.
Finally tackled this today and your instructions were perfect:)
Awesome! I was sure you'd get it done! Glad to hear it went well.
Dennis Coffey You Sir are a true Gentleman 👍👏❤️
Thank you so much Frank!!
You are a god send! Thank you. Your instructions are so clear and you don’t take any knowledge for granted including tools, which is always a challenge to know for us green horns! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate you watching!
Thanks Mr. Coffey your series on this husky has been my number one go to! You have gotten me through mandrel replacement, both belts and blade engagement cable replace and tensioning. Mine was a real lemon out of the crate but your videos have solved a host of nasties. Big thanks !
Thank you for watching, Thomas! I'm glad to hear these videos have helped!
Thank you, Dennis. Lots of well deserved kudos. Even mr 'all thumbs' here could change both belts and blades due to your video instructions.
Thank you for watching!
This was one of the best instructional videos I've seen. Husqvarna should hire you to write their manual. Thanks for this.
Thank you very much Sandra! I appreciate you watching!
@kimkimduckie thank you so much Kim!! I’m glad this helped and I really appreciate your support!
Thank you so much. A very helpful video for an old lady trying to change the oil in her mower.
Thanks for watching, Janet! I'm glad this helped!
Thank you. I needed to understand how the open-close of the drain worked. Your presentation was right on par!
I'm glad this helped! Thanks for watching, Richard!
Perfect tutorial, Dennis. Thank you. I’m not very handy, so a task like this was daunting. I was successfully able to change my oil thanks to your video. MANY THANKS!!!!
That is fantastic, you should be very proud of yourself for tackling it and getting it done! I'm glad the video helped, thank you for watching!
Wish I would've watched this before I did the first oil change on mine. I couldn't figure out that plastic contraption, so I pulled the whole plug and made a heck of a mess. I figured there was a better way, now I know. Thanks for posting!
I hate it that you had that problem, but glad to hear the video helped. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment!
Mr. Coffey I really appreciate you making that video cause I bought me a Husqvarna 46" lawn tractor a year ago thinking it time to get it back to the dealer so they can change the oil . well after watching your video I know I can do it my self and save some money thanks.
That's great James. You'll be able to save a trip and some money. Thank you for watching!
Just found you. Awesome video. Now i can do it myself.
Thank you very much Robin! I appreciate you watching!
Good video. I also find if I warm my engine a little before draining it comes out faster and empties more thoroughly. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Tim. Great tip, thank you!
Thank you so much for this - I now feel courageous enough to tackle the task on my own!
Thank you for watching, Jodi! Let me know if I can help.
Very awesome video on how to change the oil
Thank you for watching, Dave!
Very clear and concise instructions.........extemely helpful.............thank you!
Thank you for watching!!
I have a similar tractor and that was the best explanation I've seen. Good Job!!
Thank you
Ron! I appreciate you watching!
This was very useful. I sincerely thank you for taking time and uploading this video. I have the same model and I am going to venture changing the oil. Once again, very useful video. Lots of THANKS.
Thank you so much Jaya! I appreciate your kind words. I'm sure you will do well with your oil change. Let me know if there is anything I can help you with...I'll do my best.
First class. Short, to the point, well filmed with everything up front centre. Well done.
Thank you for watching, David!!
Hey Dennis, I've had my Husqvarna riding mower for about 3 years now and finally decided to change the oil. First thing I did was hit youtube and found your channel. It took me no time at all. Thanks for the videos. They are super easy to understand. I am now a subscriber. I just watched your video about lubing the tractor. That is next on my list.
That's great David! I'm glad the vids are helping. Thanks very much for watching!
You saved me some nice change, thanks bro.
Fantastic! Thanks for watching
Hey Dennis, great video, a little trick I use when changing the filter is to make a makeshift pan from aluminum foil to place under the filter to make it less messy. Also changing the oil while warmed up it'll come out quicker. Good video, great work.
Thanks for watching and for your comments, Matt, I appreciate it. Yes, a couple of other folks have mentioned using tin foil, paper plates, etc for a makeshift drain...all great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I actually have mixed feelings about warming the engine before draining the oil........on one hand, I agree, it will help drain the oil better. But on the other hand, it also stirs up any sediment that may be in the oil pan and prevent it all from draining....so, not sure which way is best :)
The video was excellent. Unlike you, I have never changed the oil. You patiently walked me thru it .
I just changed the oil in my husqvarna, I followed your instructions, thank you for this video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks to you I learned how to change mower oil. Appreciate the assist bud.
Fantastic! Thank you for watching!
thank you so much for your video! great instructions and helped a lot!
Thank you Ali! I appreciate you watching and the nice comment.
Great videos.. I especially like that you, correctly pronounce Husqvarna. So, many pronounce it Husq-ah-varna.. and it drives me crazy!
Thanks for watching, Lee! Yes, I have to admit, I like to hear people pronounce this and other things correctly. Now I may say it with a Southern drawl, but I try to get it right! :)
I was watching other videos before I found Dennis's video. Thought the same thing. Husq-varna, NOT Husq -ah-varna! For the love of God!
Excellent and very clear!! Now to go change my oil and cut grass!! Thanks
Thanks for watching, Kevin! I'm glad this helped!
@@dwcoffey Changed everything without a hitch and only had a parts bill. My labor was free!
Good video
My husky is 25 horse with 54 steel deck. Just turned 130 hours. At 100 did oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter and pulled and sharpened blades.
You can run the far side tires up on 2 by 6 boards, helps keep some off the frame. I do it all the time.
Also wipe off block before putting new filter on.
Great idea! Thanks for watching! This is what I do now..saves a lot of the mess: ruclips.net/video/3C6B1TQkcy4/видео.html Also modded my oil drain: ruclips.net/video/rGfXpM1J2g4/видео.html
This is perfect, Dennis! I have the same tractor and this is my first time changing oil, since I just got it last spring. Thanks for the great video! Maybe you can work for Ikea and show them tips on how to write assembly instructions! LMAO! Cheers, Sir!!
Thanks for watching, Mike! I'm glad this helped you. Yea, maybe I can get a contract to make videos for Ikea! haha That would be great!
Here's a tip...put a paper plate with several paper towels in it under the filter before you take it off. It will catch all of the oil. No oil on the frame this way. I use the Fram Tough Guard TG3614...instead of the OEM filter. It's longer, but it fits behind the cowling...and for 4$ you can get the Fram end cap wrench. I couldn't find an end cap wrench for the OEM filter.
Fram customer service confirmed that the TG3614 was a better filter and would work as a replacement for my OEM Briggs filter...same as Fram PH8170.
Here's another tip...use a gallon jug to catch the oil from the drain...that way you can put the cap on it and it won't spill. And, the mower is up high enough for the jug to sit right under the oil drain so that the hose fits right in. Better by far than the way that you're doing it. I save and use the gallon sized Arizona Iced Tea Jugs because they have screw on caps.
Just thought you could use some advice after seeing how you're changing your oil.
Great ideas Ed! I save my empty 5qt jugs that my new oil comes in. I can run the hose into one of those empty jugs. I haul a bunch of them to the parts store after a round of oil changes at my house. Thanks so much for the tips....way better than the way I'm doing it!!
I usually just place a few paper towels under it.. but the plate is a good idea, to catch any oil that soaks through.
I was going to say the same thing. Stiff paper plate under there to drain into a pan underneath. Not a drop touched the frame. Popping out those clips from behind is a pain too. I brace a screwdriver head against the back of the clip and then press on that to save my fingers a little soreness. Either way, another great video, Dennis.
Thank you for explaining everything, and not assuming we know anything! I feel much more confident now that I can go and do this myself for the first time!
Thank you very much for watching, Lynn!
Just did my oil change, thanks for the great reference video, walked me right thru it. I put some newspaper under the filter on top of the frame to keep that clean, worked perfectly
Thanks for watching Adam! I appreciate the comment.
Thank you, it's amazing explanation. I'm a girl and change oil by my self, if I can do, any guys can doing))
Awesome Danil!! Congratulations on doing the job yourself!
Thank you for watching, Gail! I'm sorry about your husband. Good for you on tackling these kinds of jobs....you save a lot of money and don't have to depend on somebody else to do it for you. Good job!!
Thanks, Dad :) I needed some help, here.
:) Thank you Christine!! I'm glad this helped!!
Dennis, you can cut a full side of a 1 gallon milk jug and place it flat with slight upcurve on each side under the filter before loosening the filter and make a V in it to drain into the drain pan. :)
Thanks for watching, Dan! Great idea for sure!!
Just wanted to let you know your videos of help me out immensely thank you
Thank you very much! I'm glad they are helping and I really appreciate you watching!
@@dwcoffey if. You have one ( or could make one) demonstrating how to level the deck, that would be great!
I have a video on setting up a new tractor and I briefly go into leveling the deck in it: ruclips.net/video/a-sRKmL4LLU/видео.html
That may help for now, but I'll try to get a video devoted to leveling the deck made soon and post it. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. I just got a similar model. The whole oil change "ordeal" is crazy. Just goes to show the designers of these machines, don't work on them.
You are so right about that! Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment, I appreciate it!
Good video Dennis. For the oil filter, I'll use a milk jug. I cut from the bottom corner about 2.5 inches up the side and about 2.5 inches across the bottom and make it about 6 or so inches long including one of the curves on the side. I slide that under the filter and the oil drains right into the pan. I do put towels on either side just in case. I wish i could add a picture because its hard to explain.
Thanks Stuart! That's a great idea...no pictures needed, your description is perfect. I may have to try that...sounds like it works just fine! Thanks for sharing.
Yes, the milk jug is a real handy tool. Hopefully others will see your tip and try it out..
Received a hearty "ATTABOY!" from my wife after I watched your video and changed the oil on my Husky! Step-by-step (which is how I operate) and everything went smooth as dirty oil. Thanks for this video! And, tonight, she's making my favorite dessert! Woohoo!
That is fantastic! I love it when I get an 'attaboy' from my wife! You get a bonus with the favorite dessert! I'm glad I could help!
Just what I needed! I couldn't figure out how to get the side flaps off to get to the oil spigot thingamajig - I was scared I'd break it if I pulled too hard. Thanks so much for this video! Very well done, and much appreciated!
Thank you very much! I appreciate you watching!
After how many hours should you change the oil
Thanks for watching! Husqvarna recommends changing the oil every 50 hours or once per season, whichever comes first.
Changing oil and not the filter doesn’t make any sense, filter should be changed every time. I use Synthetic 10w30. I put a paper plate under the filter and spray the frame with parts cleaner when done, seems to work pretty good. Just my input.
I agree! I never change oil in anything without changing the filter too. Thanks for watching, Bob!
Good, easy to follow video. I wanted to do the service myself this year and decided to find a video showing all the details from start to finish. I now feel confident in doing my own oil change. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Sandy! I'm glad this helped and I'm sure you will do a great job!
Thanks Dennis. I inherited a Husqvarna tractor with my new house and your videos are really informative.
Thank you for watching, Michael! I'm glad these are helping!
i always put tinfoil under my oil filter and direct it down
That's a much better idea than what I've been doing. Thanks for sharing!!
Genius!
Or a paper towel and saran wrap
I recommend getting a large funnel, cutting it in a way to use when removing the oil filter, and locating it so oil doesn't spill on the frame. Thanks
Great idea! This is what I do now: ruclips.net/video/3C6B1TQkcy4/видео.html
Thank you very much for making this video! I've never changed oil in anything and dreaded doing it on my YTH22V46. The manual really doesn't describe the process very well. I bought the oil and filter and watched your video on my phone, pausing along the way. Had it done no problem in less than 30 mins. I had to use filter plyers on mine cause the dealer that sold it to me had it on there way too tight! The biggest help this video provided was the heads up on what a mess taking the old filter off was! Much Appreciation +Subscribed
Awesome Garrett! Congratulations on a job well done. Thanks you for watching and subscribing. I'm glad to hear the video helped!
Thanks Dennis! Best video on oil change for these tractors that I seen thus far. Your description of the different engine parts involved, the process itself and the tips from your experience is extremely helpful. I have a YTH 24V48 (which I absolutely love) and it recently moved past the 50 hour mark. Your video has given me the much needed confidence to tackle this job.
That's great Paul! I'm sure you will do a great job...if you need any help, please let me know. I'll do my best! Thanks so much for watching and leaving me a nice comment!
2nd best, good yes, but 2nd, there is another one where the guy is in a nice garage and does a slightly better job, but this one is also good, just I think 2nd to the other one.
Thanks, this video helped me change the oil in my mower today.
Fantastic, I'm glad it helped! Thank you for watching!
Once again you are the best at explaining what to do and how to do it you don’t leave out anything very very impressive ,I have the same tractor and some of the stuff you mentioned were right on and many of these things mentioned most people would not even think of .Awesome video !
I'm very glad these videos are helpful, Donavan! Thanks for supporting my channel!
Dennis,
Thank you so much for all the videos. I have never maintained my tractor and was wondering how to go about changing the oil, filters, etc. With your videos, I feel very confident that I could do it.
Thank you so much, sir.
Thank you for watching Ronny!! I'm sure you'll do a great job...let me know if I can help.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I am a simple woman that needs all the details you gave. Thank you. God Bless You!
Thank you for watching! Here's another tip that makes it a bit easier and less messy: amzn.to/3eCL8D0
Thanks for taking the time to make this video. I've been around ride on mowers for a long time and still don't mind watching these kinds of videos.
When it comes to the oil filter, I hate the mess it can make so I place a thick cloth under the filter so oil doesn't seep under the engine and everywhere else it goes. Less clean up time.
Thanks for watching, Tony! And thanks for the idea. This is what I started doing...it works pretty well: ruclips.net/video/3C6B1TQkcy4/видео.html

Dennis,
Great Video, I teach small engines at a High School and was looking for a simple video demonstrating an oil change on this exact tractor for students to watch during distance learning after I demoed it live for my students who were able to make the zoom session. I appreciate the straight forward nature and no gimmicks like some channels on youtube.
Thank you so much, Michael! I appreciate you watching and am so glad this was helpful, especially for students.
Excellent detail! This helps me do the first oil change on my 22V46 after about 400 hours.
Thanks for watching, Scott!
Well done thanks for helping those who are not sure or have trouble knowing how too awesome:).
Thanks for watching, Guy!
I just bought my Husqvarna yta18542 used the other day. my antique 1970 Allis chalmers garden tractor is in the process of being restored so i decided to get another newer tractor. husqvarna is a year old and i stumbled across your video on how to change the oil. it was very easy to do after watching your video. you seem very knowledgeable! Thanks Dennis!! i will subscribe to your channel and check your other videos out!
Thank you for watching, Adam! Thanks also for the subscription and let me know if there's anything you'd like me to do a video on.
Dennis Coffey ok i will let you know if i need help. thanks!!
Thank you so very much for your most impressive and informative video! I have just purchased a YTH22V42 and have been perplexed at how to get to and operate the oil drain for a change, as well as the oil filter removal and replacement. It seemed impossible with the side plastic piece in place. Little to none of this was explained in the manuals or on delivery.
Your video was one of the very best produced, easy to understand and helpful.
God Bless You! You have helped me. Best wishes,
Mark
PS: Husqvarna and Briggs & Stratton need to be paying you for your excellent informative videos!
Thank you so much for your wonderful words Mark! I appreciate it very much. Yea, I could probably go for a deal with one of the manufacturers....haha!! Thanks again!
Very helpful video, only issue I had was with the yellow oil drain plug but eventually got it, needed a special plier to grasp & turn it. I also bought a longer clear drain tube to drain the oil. Thanks for posting this step by step video. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks for watching! Here's what I did with that yellow drain valve: ruclips.net/video/rGfXpM1J2g4/видео.html
This was an issue some owners were having when I researched this mower. 1 year later and I am now seeing it... I will check further on your ideas. THANKS !! Kevin
Thanks for watching, Kevin! I have other videos showing how I modified the oil drain to be easier and also how I catch the oil out of the filter now. Makes it so much easier.
Thanks for an awesome oil change video! Very clear and easy to understand! I was able to do an oil change without my husband thanks to your video! :)
That's great Christina! It's always nice to learn something new. You should be very proud of yourself!! Thanks for sharing and for watching!
Hi Dennis. Thanks for taking the time to make these informative videos! I just bought a Husqvarna YTH22V46 and I plan on changing the oil at the 5 hour mark. I know its not rocket science but I appreciate your helpful tips! Thanks again and keep em comin!
