The video is 4 yrs old, I thank you for it!! Did it today!!
Well...these are a mid 20 teens model. I'll tell you one thing, that engine and mower are tough. i had one for 6 or so years before it got stolen. It ran like a top every time. Had no shed. Left it out in the elements every winter.....didn't damage the mower at all. It's a tank. I was going to finally change the oil but it got stolen before I could do it. I think it would have outlasted me. LOL
Thank you for posting this video. I bought a Yard Machine PW510 last year and was always wondering how to change the oil in this mower. I find this very helpful. Once again, thank you
Very well explained. Just purchased an M70 craftsman with the same setup . Will have to ensure that I have a container to fit under the body to collect the oil . Beats having to tip the mower over as I need to do in my 125 cc Yard machine.
Like everyone else says...Thank you for showing me. I have the exact mower and always wondered how to change the oil. Thanks for the simple explanation.
Thank you. We made a mistake and changed the oil before I watcher your video and we did it wrong. Tks again.
Thanks Dude , I'm about to go change the oil in our Yard machine . Great video .
I was not expecting it to be that easy. Nice design
The oil capacity is 20 fluid oz.
592 ml
Thanks.
These are awesome mowers for the price. I had one for 5 years. Never an oil change. The thing couldn't die. And then it was stolen. I was sad.
Very clear and informative. I too was looking for "oil capacity" in a new Yard Machines lawn mower.
Thanks worked on my craftsman m105 140CC
Similar machine here, didnt know about the hole in the front. Thanks brother!
Same here. My husband holding lawnmower up in the air and I making sure it goes in the container. Hehe
have a few of these, i think i overfilled one once and it smoked now it always seems to smoke compared to the rest. Even when its been drained out.
You should start your mower and get the oil warm so it comes out faster and completely
Thanks for posting this tutorial. Super helpful!
Oh Thank you so much! Easier than I thought.
It's even easier if you use a fluid extraction pump. They're only like 10 bucks. Less mess, and no tools required then.
Nice video. Except when checking the oil, do not screw it in. Remove oil
Wipe off and have the dipstick rest on top. Remove and check. Should be about 20oz.😉
Looks good
Manual says not to screw in the cap when checking engine oil level.
Good to know!
Very usefull video
I applaud this video but disagree with his process. It is a messy time consuming and has too many steps.
There is a much easier process.
I Purchased, a 500 cc fluid extractor on Amazon for $17. There are many other cheaper extractors available.
1. Warm up engine.
2. insert extractor tube into crank case.
3. draw out the used oil.
4. replenish with new oil.
5. this took me under 10 minutes to accomplish.
I put the use oil back in the container that the new oil came in. PC. There was not one drop of oil anywhere to clean up. I know I will be changing the oil more often because of this.
I completely agree. At the time, I didn't have a fluid extractor. Now I do and it's one of the best tools you can have! I use it all the time.
Oh! I was looking for a plug under the deck
Never mind. Different type of machine
What other tools fo I need to work on thus type of mower?
Please. What size sockets or anything else. I have o lawn mower that won't start. But really need it working asap.
Usually for something like this you'll need a 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16 and a couple screwdrivers. That'll cover about everything on a push mower.
I use a suction gun. It's easier and almost zero mess.
haha nice ;)
Well this is lame; I too have a Yard Machines 21” 140cc. The 500E version does not have an oil drain plug, and if it does it’s NOT in the place or even relative area. I cannot find it.
Just pull the dipstick and turn the whole machine upside down into a drain pan. Or get a fluid pump and suck out the old oil.
Hello I'm helping a friend of mine change the oil in a yard machine pushmower P510 they just bought but it didn't come with a manual.
The
Serial # is 1P51NUA2008293A1456
I tried looking this mower up and I can't find what the oil capacity is? About how much oil should I put in?
Can anyone help me out?
Someone in the comments says it's 20 oz.
5W30 synthetic also is good. Had to use the generator this winter. Used it enough to do a oil change. Got some left over.
I tipped it over on the carb side. Should not do that. Yep oil did get in the carb. Then flipped to the other side to take the blade off and sharpen it.
Drained the carb twice. There was oil in it. I guess that is normal for those engines.
Pulled the plug and cranked to see if oil got in the cylinder. Just in case it hydrolocked.
Cleaned the plug with gasoline.
Carb cleaner did not survive the winter.
So why look here? Could not find the manual that came with it. Probably find when I am looking for something else. Hope @shawnmckee6951 is right.
That is not how to change oil d.a. Remove the filler cap and tip mower on side put a pan under it to catch oil
What type of oil?
10w30. I like to use something designed for small engines.
Would Briggs and Stratton Small Engine Oil SAE 30 work for a push mower?
Should be just fine.
@@Whitestrash Sweet, thanks man
do you really need to change it frequently? just top it up.
You should at least once a year.
If you dont want to blow the engine or have the engine seize up on you, you should change the oil if its not the color of new oil (gold) or see though.
@@Aye_Alan not true. Good oil could be dark in color as well. In fact, oil turns brown after only a couple minutes of use. Just change it every 1 year.
You're not supposed to thread the dipstick in to check the oil.
On some engines you do, on some you don't. My experience with lawn mowers is you thread it in, but i could be wrong on this one.
Hole is for water to drain and not oil
Like they say in prison, a hole is a hole.
@@Whitestrash Incredible
Lol
@Whitestrash I was not expecting this comment ...holy moly, but I laughed..thanks! I really do need to change the kawnmower oil and didn't know how.
Of course now I have to think about lubricants and holes and prison when I do it......
Seriously though, thank you for the video.
I don't have that hole
You can tip the mower upside down and drain it thru the dipstick tube
