Terramite Engine Threw a Rod, Can we Fix it For Free?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 окт 2024
- ive had this 2000 Terramite T5C Compact Tractor Loader Backhoe for about 19 years, and has served me well until today, the engine has let the parts inside go where they want, and that's not good, let's scrounge around some junk engines and see if we can fix it up.
On those shaft pulleys, (or yokes) pull the set screw out, fill the hole with 10 wt oil, run the set screw back in fast with an impact.
If you try it a few times with several types of lube it will force lube into the pulley center.
Heat, rinse repeat
Excellent 💡
Excellent tip, filing this away in my brain for future use.
I've been watching Darren for years now and the one thing that amazes me most is how much of everything he does, he does by himself. Yes, this does show everyone that most things if done safely can be done on your own. I'm much the same way, something about working alone (the camera not withstanding) that lets you work at your own pace in a quiet atmosphere with no distractions. Your own personal ASMR if your will. Thanks Mustie.
I don't exactly prefer working alone, and it makes some things way harder, but going solo is definitely better than help that... Isn't.
True.. For many folks that work independently, it is a choice.. not a burden. Research, planning and time management are lessons learned more readily when working alone. I find my Plan B is of importance going solo.
“The more you have, the more you gotta take care of” Words of wisdom from Mustie 1 senior ! But how blessed are we that Darren has so much and we get to tag along and learn ! On that note, I hope your mother and father are keeping well. One of my fav vids is you collecting your dads minivan and your mum tells us all how proud she is of you !!
Wise words. For whatever reason everything likes to break at once too. In my experience.
Darren! I've been following mustie closely for shit... 15 years now? First time I've known the name behind the camera. 🥲 Lift with your legs mustie!
oh the woes of owning a kohler command 💪💪💪. great watch!
Mustie is the neighbor we all wish we had. At least we get to virtually hang out in his shop every week. It's definitely one of my happy places. Cheers.
Such a relief when you spend all that time scraping knuckles and breaking your back to have a machine thats way better than before. Well done!
I have learned more about small motors from this guy than anyone. Look forward to mustie uploads every Sunday.
Same. Started watching when I got interested in starting up a 1920s car that's been stored for around 50 years... Wanted to know what to check, what to look for, etc and found his video on the old English car he was checking.
Had zero interest in the small engines at the time, but ended up watching one and started to understand things a bit. Now I've got several projects... Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing 🤣
An excellent repair. I really enjoy your approach. When you go diving in to your storage areas for parts it's like a treasure hunt! Keep the great content flowing Darren!
Nice work Darren! You never disappoint us with your wit, knowledge and educational style. Thanks for the many years of adventures and here's hoping for many more. Take care!
I just got hooked to some of our older videos at the old homestead. Great memories.
Mustie, the biggest kid in town when let loose on anything with wheels and an engine. Seeing a wild Mustie running through the shrubbery revving and braking to his heart's content brings a happy tear to my eye.
As part of the “don’t mess with it, you’ll break it” generation. This is just such a pleasure to watch.
Is that why i cant stop, I knew there was some thing fundamentally traumatic making this experience feel so wrong yet so right!
All is well in the world. Mustie1 has resurrected another old motor and this incredible machine lives again.
Yeah and he even said he was going to do what I thought he should do too. Rebuild one of those engines so he has a spare ready to go. Because it really did seem like he's down to the last one that runs now.
Spoiler alert. How's this the first comment!
Can't swap heads, so just swap valves
Alas, all is nOT well with the world. Mass migration is forcing people to shift over to give the new kids space, and water, and food and shelter and MONEY, they bring their own craig's list dealer iphones.
I do not often comment on video that I watch, however I will on this one.
Mustie I have to say that you approach repairs / troubleshooting the way I was taught.
You can tell that your skill set is enhanced by your vast experience, you have a very old school way of approaching problems and I really would like to acknowledge that.
Rather than dumping parts at the issue, you get in there and find a way to overcome the problem using logic reasoning and good old fashioned mechanical skill.
I have watched your videos for a couple of years now and with your skill set and honest approach I will keep watching you truly are a one of a kind on you tube!!
There are no stupid made up words or pretentious fake acting bullshit just honest wrenching with good explanatory reasoning .
Keep up the awesome work from one old school mechanic / engineer to the next.
A subscriber for life thank you.

Mustie, you are the first thing we watch on Sunday after the livestock are tended to. You never fail to come through with great content. Thnks, Bill
"The more you got, the more you have to take care of." Wise words from your father Mustie.
Once again an incredible job at swapping out the engine and refurbishing another...now I know why you have your vast array of stuff to turn to and in effect make these repairs. You definitely are in the elite class of how to RUclipsrs. Always a pleasure to see you work your magic 😁🛠️🔧🚜🇺🇸👍
"Elite class" then there is Musti1 looking down from the top of the heap.😊
Popping Wheelies! Right on Mustie.
Thanks for your videos.
Terramies are great little machines. Dug a 16 foot deep well with one of the earlier ones back in 1984-85. Teared down to get that deep. Last 6 feet was through shale. Only had one mishap, blew out the rubber bushing coupler while clean out a wet drainage ditch, ended up changing it right there in the muck. Talk about fun.
Hell yah!
Half way through the video, I really didn't think you were going to do it this time. Amazed, once again.
I`ll tell ya, Mustie1 never disappoints us. Great fix, glad you had a few engines and she lives again. Got my coffee and a Mustie1 vid to start my Sunday. Big day for my family today, my Grandson Theo is 7 today! Pop baked his birthday cake again,#7. I think you can possibly get 1 good engine out of the 3. Thanks for taking us along for the ride Darren. I look forward to the engine teardown video. Stay safe, God Bless.
I'm betting he can take the good valves out of the other side, and fix one, and the swap heads from the blown one, and fix the second.
happy birthday grandson enjoy your day and your cake 😊
Your voice over is nice. Nothing derogatory. Nice to hear.
You did a heckofa good job. 👍👍🤜🤛
You're just amazing how you go through everything and diagnostic everything. You are dying breed my friend
Love your show ❤️ 💕 ♥️ 💙
He is methodical. Gotta be one of the best teachers when it comes to figuring stuff out. His approach is fun to watch. 👍🏾
Wouldn't be a Mustie video without the signature antics at the end! 😆😆😆
.
And no, I didn't think you'd flip it! I know better! 😃😃😃
Mustie, that was a very enjoyable video, as always. Your sense of humor in the face of anxiety cracks me up. I would have been throwing crap through the garage door. Stay safe, healthy and God bless.
That's alot of tractor for a little guy! And only 2 cylinder engine too, very impressive! Nice work, great video.
May I call you a mechanical genius? OK I will then....you're a mechanical genius. I am a retired mechanic and I learn so much from every Sunday...Thank you. Hope you move a lot of dirt with that special rig.
Well the stash pays off once again.Keep your awesome videos coming.Thanks for sharing.
It must be nice to have a pallet of spare engines to choose from. One of these has to be good. And one was.
@@1pcfred with a little tinkering, I'm betting 3 out of 4 are good
@@twinkie27271 if a rod isn't through the block I'm sure any of them could be fixed. But one spare should be enough.
Briiliantly entertaining and openly showing all one's forbile faults - the master (Mustie 1) performs yet again .... we gotta love this guy - what say you folks - yes?
The wheelies made me laugh😂
This is my favour channel by far👍
Keep up the good work!
Another great video, mate.
Yes, please, to the following two videos:
1. Autopsy on the engine that blew.
2. Making one good engine out of the three.
Thank you, Mustie. 😊 🇬🇧
Good day from the U.S. Jay.
🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧🇺🇸🇬🇧
When you said any more set screws I remembered one motor I had , had the short screws with two in each hole to lock the first one. Good show.
It's Sunday afternoon and a Mustie1 episode pops up in my feed I know that it's gonna be a really nice day.
Especially when it's a long one.
And even more so if Darren's working on a couple 3 engines trying to get one of his machines back on the job.
Seeing you pulling a wheely on a freshly recovered vehicle,.... makes me smile!!
You might want to push the lever for lowering the bucket arms further forward. If memory serves me, there is a float position which allows you to a better job when back dragging.
Might want to lightly tap the side of the parts you are trying to separate with the air chisel while using the wheel puller. Filling the setscrew holes with penetrating fluid might help too.
Thanks for posting these videos Darren. I look forward to them and recommend your channel to all my friends.
I'm always entertained watching someone who knows what they're doing.
That look at the end of this vid is priceless.... Mustie1...you continue your ROCKSTAR status....👍👍👍👍😎😁⭐
Brilliant. You look wheelie pleased with yourself at the end there. Looking forward to seeing how it pans out with the other engines. Great video.
Nice fix, glad you had a backup. I wish I could find one of those little jewels, I could really use one. I’ll keep looking. Very good video as always. Can’t wait for your next one.
Excellent to see that engine crank over. Really nice job. Thanks for sharing a cup of coffee with us.
You may already know this, but there is a valve you can turn 90 degrees through a hole in the bottom of the tractor under the pump that will put the machine in neutral and let you tow it. May be handy if she quits on you again sometime. Also if you happen to know where to get a replacement fuel filler I shure could use one. I broke mine into pieces taking it off to coat the tank. Thanks!!!
Mustie, i like how you talk as if we're working right alongside you. i feel like i'm serving a virtual apprenticeship.
Great video, 3 engines later.... Good to see it going again.👍
I have been looking for a terramite for quite a while. They are awesome little machines. Hard to come by though. This was a great video from start to finish. 👍👍
Backhoe wheelie! Cool video. Nice work.
Mustie1 has said several times he's dyslexic, and yet you morons take pleasure in messing with him. Shame on you. All he does is provide excellent content for us to watch. Thanks Darren for all you do for us.
Dyslexia: "A learning disorder characterised by difficulty reading."
I am dyslexic myself, yet I take pleasure in CHECKING MY WORK. I'm a published writer, one has to check ones words to make certain on did not any words out. The kicker here is LEAVE!
Dad's only jealous cos he had to dig holes because he had nothing to digging them with other than a shovel❤😂😂🎉😢😮😅😊
No one is messing with him everyone seems to have good vibes except you.
google says threw - also mustie - your videos are too long
Thanks for the shop time Mustie1! Look forward to any installment to come.
it always amazes me how much stuff you have in the stash. I'm sure we'll see 2 bad engines become one working unit when you've got some free time. Keep up the great videos
3 bad engines should be able to make 2 good ones
The”Stash” is an absolute gold mine. Pretty bad ass
Nice job Mustie again a super job in getting another piece of equipment up and running again! I like your video's they're educational!
Enjoyed watching you tackle this job as always - I've learned a lot from you about staying the course and not giving up when things seem to be going South - thanks for the life lessons : )
"i'd rather swap motors than dig holes"!!! That's a gem!! 💎 Great vid as always
One of my favorite channels. I’ve learned a lot from this man. I just wish I had a Mustie “stash”. 😄
Me too.
Love your “don’t worry, make it work” philosophy! Glad I stumbled across your channel!
P.S. I think you could use a third hand!
I would like to see you go through and make a good engine from the other 3. If it was me I'd get a gasket kit and whatever else I need to get that engine a little more of a fighting chance and then either throw it in the teramite now while everything can still come apart fairly easily but at the very least throw it on the shelf for when there's issues with the current set up. Awesome video BTW. Also I can't wait to see more content on the Ford Econoline truck in the background.
Not everyone has spare engines laying around and would need to repair what they have.
@@gs1100ed I'm somewhat confused by your comment because this isn't your video. If it was your video where you explained how you only had one engine and had to do whatever it took to make it work I wouldn't have made this comment but since this is not your video I'm very confused by your comment.
@@kbakeritsallaboutnobody.5761 I read this as: "Darren should have tried to repair the original engine instead of replacing it" but that's a bit harsh, isn't it?
@@Ragnar8504 me stating I'm confused by a comment is harsh? You're entitled to your opinion and opinions vary.
@@kbakeritsallaboutnobody.5761 Oh, I'm sorry for the confusion! All I wanted to say is if my interpretation of Jeff's comment happens to be correct, that would be harsh of him to say considering how much stuff Darren repairs and keeps out of the landfill. Does that make sense?
My favorite channel, and couldn't live without it. Absolute running background sound at my place...😊. That being said, PLEASE change the title to THREW a rod... catches my eye on the "suggested" list every time 😂
Thanks Mustie for another great video, it saved my day once more, love watching you fix things, and you seldom fail. cheers!
I would say that works 200% better than it did before the other engine popped! That is a great little machine.
Excellent video as always, thanks Darren, your channel is one of the very best mechanical repair channels on RUclips. What also helps is your very relaxed and friendly manner plus you explain things very well.
Terramite lives to dig another hole 🕳️. Looking forward to the next build👍🇺🇸
Looks like you may have to use one of those other blocks and various parts from all 3 to build a new one. I can’t wait to see you pull the old one down and see what broke
I am fascinated by all of the techniques used to disassemble these rusted up couplings,great to watch and learn even at my advancing years
I’ve never seen Mustie pick up so many engines in one video! 💪 Strong like Bull 🐂
Kept the bench lifted and everything…he got his workout for the day for sure 💪🏾🇺🇸
... just like WM
Sometimes this is just how it goes. It was fun watching you sort it all out. Love your channel.
it would be nice to see you do an autopsy on the old engine and also a video (maybe the same video) making a good engine out of all of those ones you have. that would make an interesting video for sure
I retired last summer and after open heart surgery recovery I've been feeling well enough to work on stuff. So: buying lawn and garden equipment that's used but OK (and cheap) to fix and either keep or sell. Lots of fun too. Just bought a JD 850 tractor 2 days ago: doing major service cycle on it and no real surprises Yet.....
I’m medically retired from the military, been so for seven years now. I’ve been trying to get into a position to do work like this and what you are talking about. There is something soothing to the heart and mind when it comes to working on equipment. Congrats on the successful surgery and the recovery process since. 💪🏾🇺🇸
@@publicuser2534 Best wishes to you.
Morning all from Lincolnshire UK 🇬🇧
Morning from Somerset.

Haha and back at ya again from lincs 🙂
Terramite Engine Threw a Rod. I’ve been watching for years. Great videos.
Thank you man this is a big part of my weekend
I must say you're having WAY to much fun driving that thing. :--) Keep the video coming. Get info every time. Thanks
I would like to see a follow up video on the old engine to see what failed.
Congrats Mustie 1 on getting the old engine-out and the other engine-in ur Terramite.. looks great. good to spare parts..
Ah yes, my Sunday morning coffee and Mustie!
😂😂😂
The look on your face at the end after the wheely session is priceless! 😅
Ok my back hurts just watching you lift both engines
Them little engines really ain't that heavy. Now if they were cast iron that'd be another story. Mustie probably should up his crane game though. He's not getting any younger.
@@1pcfred he had to get them downstairs
@@danbartolini27 Darren does have a forklift.
hot cup of tea and Mustie, that's a good Sunday morning 😊.
That was a really interesting video, especially as I, like every other grown up little boy want's to have a Back Hoe/ front loader to play on, so I was just willing it to work out. Looking forward to the autopsy on the old engine and to see if your mnagic will work on the two donor engines to make another spare for something that will happen along anytime soon.
He has everything to fix two of the 3.
Always enjoy and learn by watching you Bud..Thank you very Much..Jim from Ont.
Now the title can make sense if you think of Mustie having a spare con rod. Though having a spare con rod, he could fix it....
You should know better than to lavish a machine with too much love only to move onto another project, it will let you know how jealous it is 😂, love your work Mustie, all the way from Sydney, Australia
Sweet! Sorry it died Mustie but since I have a T5C also I always love seeing Terramite content!
Love the rat tail Crusty...been watching your channel 5-6 years now...always amazing!
I like the I fix stuff t shirt . You going to do some mustie t shirts please ? Or hats ? I’d buy one
This one's for the youngsters don't throw it fix it, Great vlog as always watch that back Mustie!!!.
Oh no, not the Terramite! Oh well makes for a good video, thanks Mustie!
This was a great video Mustie. Thanks so much for sharing and thank goodness for the stash.
i won't join in on the feeding frenzy. 😆 Those damn pesky autocorrects burn me at least once a week lol😆
So happy you’re doing a rebuild on the Bobcat. Can’t wait to watch.
The fan housing with the 2 metal covers would have been a better option. Would allow access to the coils without removing the engine for what you are using it for.
Doing wheelies whith that small tractor made me laugh😆 Good content as always👍
Who cares how he spells " threw " id rather him not know how to spell/ what word to use when and still get these awesome videos. Who gives a shit. Videos are always awesome best RUclipsr around.
You got a bit of Mustie1 milk on the side of your mouth.....
@@techydog7854milk or foam?😅
Homonyms, ya just gotta love them.
I'm quite pedantic about spelling normally... Didn't even notice it because all I saw was his backhoe and username. I don't bother reading his video titles anymore because I'm going to watch them regardless.
enjoyed that. wasn't expecting it to be that difficult. Good work.
I want to know why that other one is bending pushrods. Two bent valves? Something funky is going on in there.
Someone was getting it. They always run the best right before they blow.
ran HOT and valve guides moved outwards limiting valve lifter travel
Love the wheelies at the end!! Hilarious!!!
Good Day everyone.
Frankenstein.. 'It's alive'! haha. and it wouldn't be a Mustie1 video without the jokes 😂 Look forward to seeing what happened to the engine that blew up. Been great 'hanging around and doing some wrenching with ya' 👍
I almost died laughing when you straightened the pushrods with a hammer . That is exactly what i did on my Honda 90 every weekend after thrashing it all week. Tecumseh made excellent engines ,it is a shme they were bought out by a bunch of unscrupulous businessmen that folded it . Their quality was way better than those other guys. B&S.
Hammering straight some push rods…definitely a first for my viewing pleasure. 😂😂😂 Strong work 💪🏾
"She gave Ya all She's Got Capt.!!!"!!!; )
Melted the warp core.
i could hear the rods knocking in buffalo ny on that machine when you. We're pulling the bug buss apart lol
When I see these engine replacement videos now, imma say VW air cooled every time! 🤣🤣 ...and yes, I know I know, I'm kidding this time. Mostly. 🤣
