Great video but how bout using Alumiweld , seems like it would have been perfect for the job.
I wanted to let you know that I have watched 90% of your videos and rebuilt a craftsman engine that a guy sold to me and it WAS junk. I have now enrolled in a small engine school because you have enlightened me. Thank you so much
"C-clamp" ?? Your kidding, right??🤔😲😣😒☹
@@robertmcmahon2744 bruh what crack are you smoking that putty gets rock hard and the C clamp is to help it seal but id leave it on permanently to prevent it from happening again like he says its a lawnmower not a spaceship its Kohlers defect what better can you do
I fixed one last week by drilling/tapping a hole on each side of the crack and spanning the crack with a piece of steel and 2 screws. I used JB Weld all along the crack. In addition, my fix is different because I drilled a few extra holes in the steel patch (like mesh) so the JB Weld came through it and added a lot more strength .
That's a great idea, drilling extra holes for the JB Weld to have a better grip. Thanks for the suggestion. 😊
Sir, I'm a certified honda motorcycle mechanic who is retired. It's a pleasure to watch you at your craft. I've learned alot by watching you and your videos. I still help friends and neighbors in my area and everytime I come to something I'm not sure of.....I come to the utube channel and look you up. Thanks for all you help and your crazy antics. 👍🤪🤪
that c clamp solution was Jed Clamp-it solid hill billie gold !!
"I wear gloves, you do what you want!" Solid advice! Thanks!
Some of the best fix-it entertainment on youtube
DG Adams thank you sir! We hope you'll keep watchin and wrenchin with us!
Oh, yeah.. already used a couple videos to work on my Dixon ZTR (1 has a Kholer Command Pro cv730 and the other has a Briggs 26 ELS).. Great stuff
This happened to my engine. Unfortunately I didn't catch it until much more damage was done. Thank goodness you also have a video showing how to swap engines. BTW. I used that magic putty for a temporary fix to an outdoor water pipe in the middle of winter, that was about 8 yrs ago, pretty good stuff.
I enjoy the repair information and usually just fast forward through the opening to get to it.
'There's instructions in there' 🤣
I found out my Kohler engine had loose bolts because I noticed smoke coming up one day. And looked and there was a bunch of oil going to the muffler. And so I tightened those bolts. And then a couple of years later, I checked and had to retighten them. And they've been tight ever since.
i just love your videos i don't even have half these mowers i just use them for entertainment . another thing could you do a how to on how to adjust the mixture screws on a 11 hp briggs 1 piece carberator
That flipping mowers introduction wass solid gold !!
Funny thing is that some people probably would think this was real ha ha ha ha,there is all kinds out there.
Hey Taryl, I used your engine swap video when I swapped my Briggs & Stratton out of my Craftsman LT1000 for a Kohler 5400 series engine. It’s been an excellent engine so far! Keep up the great work!
I swapped out a wore out Briggs for a Kohler Pro, V twin 25 horse my Briggs was a 12.5 horse. I did that before I seen Taryl's videos on swapping engines, but it works great the extra horsepower makes cutting tall grass or weeds fast and easy. I had to do a lot more work because the pulley for the blades was different. The Kohler used a 1 1/8 inch crankshaft, the Briggs uses a 1 inch shaft. I made it work by taking apart an old electric PTO, it had the right size shaft on both ends a simple weld to the transmission drive pulley (came with the engine) and cut the blade drive pulley off of the Briggs set and had that welded to the small end and it works great. I haven't seen anyone do the same as what I did, but shouldn't be difficult for someone that can weld.
Good to know your happy with the Kohler engine 😊
Slippers is off the charts hilarious ! "im a woman and even I can do it " (with a mustache!!)
nice one Taryl ! love the sound effects when ronnie's spine got snaped, ronnie's chiropractor won't get him straightened out for a while.
I wonder if Taryl and Jr. have any race mowers. Btw me and the kids love the videos.
exact same spot as mine cracked, cept my bolts never came loose, just came out with new higher strength jb weld on my 3rd layer now were gona see.
Thanks Taryl. I fixed my Kohler courage 18 cracked block using method in your video and worked great. Used JB weld and the 3” C-clamp. Awesome redneck fix!!
Tech tip...you can wet your fingers a bit to keep the JB weld or other types of puddy repair to keep it from sticking to your fingers while you work it into places .
lol, now if some kid doesn't come along and notice the clamp screw and start twisting on it..lol
You are my new RUclips addiction
Another Lawnmower grammy... These are just awesome, Taryl and crew, just the best.
This shit is funny as hell
I've got one of those courage 19hp engines on an 04 craftsman. Around 400 hrs on it, running great.
I should probably check that those bolts are tight!
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time!
Sketchy car(power equipment) salesman with hillbilly(meth head) mechanic in the back...looks about right🤣🤣💯 Keep the vids comin bud, I love it😂👌
Hey Taryl i had a question if you don't mind. I have a 42" troy built bronco and the something just blew on the engine. Its a real hot day and i had it parked on a slight incline and then it started running really rough/loud and ran to shut it off as it was smoking as well and it ended up having a hole blown near the bottom on the side of the engine. Now ive never taken one of these engines apart. Is it a real hard job? Thanks for any advice Bud.
Ronnie, the Spineless Weasel! Thanks for a great laugh and another great DIY fix. 👍😂🔧
im trying the JBweld only using expanded metal from an air filter. figured fiberglass is weak with out matting. it should give JB weld something to grab, and hold things together
After this video I checked mine and they were loose, he saved my engine. Thank you
Do the 26hp v twins have this problem or just the single cylinder ones?
Hey Ronnie, the check is in the mail!! lol
Better yet give me your bank account number and I will electronically transfer the funds.
I'm fixing to do a engine swap on a Dixon ztr, this info came in handy may have to refer back to it again, thanks Taryl you have awesome information and videos
please upload more vids. great channel with awesome tips and advice. cheers bro
Taryl,you are awsome . I think hollywood should do a movie of you and your buddys.
I work for a furniture maker and that epoxy putty works miracles.
Taryl I have a Kohler courage engine I don't think I have a problem with the loose bolts yet but is it wise to go ahead and pull the bolts and lock tight them before I do and should the motor be cold when doing this . Thanks in advance .
This is the best channel on RUclips.
Thank you for another great video-You guys are a credit to your profession!
Ronnie’s broken body 😂😂🤣🤣
I take a piece of copper about 2 " by 1 " drill a hole in it so the bolt goes through it then make a couple of relief cuts then when I put the bolts back on I fold the copper around the head of the bolt I use a screw driver and a hammer to bend the copper around the bolt because it has a flange on the head of the bolt so it kinda rough to get it to form good around the bolt then bend the rest of the copper over the edge of the block so the bolts can't back off
I had one crack the whole cylinder off the block. On the first pass thru the yard. Got a new motor. It made it about 10 hours and it cracked got another motor and. And the shop said all the torque specs where way off from the factory. That engine made it till I sold it haha
I have a 500 series Briggs mower and they are famous for cracking the sump on one of the corners, of course nowhere as bad as the problem you had but its amazing this junk they make these days, there is a guy on Amazon that's on his third sump, lol, one of our welders at work tried to weld the sump for me and he said "dude, i dont know what this is but it ain't aluminum, ha ha ha ha ha
Does anyone here have oil leaking at the bottom of the crankshaft? Haven’t found a single video about it, i replaced the oil seal but that did nothing.
Nice fix . but you must drill a hole in front of crack ( both directions ) to stop propagation. Nice Teef
Wow the best use of heuristics lol your good and obviously you enjoy helping others on the cheap.
great video, I cant wait to start my own used lawnmower repair bid ness; my check is in the mail!!!
I would like to thank Terrell Junior for fixing my carburetor, motor runs great
You're welcome Larry! Glad we could help. Now theres your dinner!!
lol…what the heck is wrong with you guys!!!😂😂😂
DANG, mine cracked in the exact same spot after 100 hours...I've read it happens frequently, some call the Courage the "100 hour engine"...I think the bolt in that corner was a HUGH mistake by their designers !!! All my bolts were loose too
Junior should ask Jill out for a dinner date. They both work on mowers, and have the same awesome mustache.
It takes Courage to own one of those engines. Told my neighbor about that engine after seeing this video. Sure enough many of the bolts were loose after 50 hrs. He hasn't leaned over my fence for a talk without two "Hockey Pops" since.
What's a "Hockey Pop"?
Ain't no body's swoop me out of a pinch like ol taradactal
My motor mount screws were loose I think that has something to do with those bolts loosening up cause the motor shakes around
I have weld alum blocks with stick welder and had good luck with it surprised the sit out of me tried it yrs ago with no luck todays rod must be better.
I used chewing gum to do such repair. So far so good.
Ingenious repair Taryl. It will likely blow up soon anyway. Skit well done too.
Hi how long did your putty hold on the cracked block? With vibration seems it would not hold long, give me your opinion please.
he left the clamp on it to prevent it from happening he dosent own the mower either it goes back to customer
Taryl, just bought some of the putty. I have a crack that is on a flat surface. Do you recommend grinding a small gap and puttying? Or, just clean it up and putty?
I've just joined the Kohler courage cracked crankcase effing club ... might V it out a little bit with the dremal, then drill end of crack before hitting it with JB weld. Hope this works, if not looks like a Briggs or similar is going in. " Didya bring da cash wichya?" Brilliant acting ...could of been in the Soprano's.
Simple, just keep the bolts tight
Oooohhh. I spotted a Honda HT3813. I have one of those!
I used that Epoxy putty before hardens like steel. It can be drilled & tapped too. Clean the surface w/alcohol 1st.
Man if I was the customer I'd be concerned lol
The courage is the biggest hunk a junk Kohler has ever produced!
Brett's small engine repair And How. in quirky 1930's prose
Way to put that "tooth" into the epoxy lol!
Teral help me. I have a Briggs 26hp on a husquvarna lgt2654. It's blowing white smoke from carb intake and oil filler. The flywheel is pretty easy to turn also. It lacks power. Any suggestions!
Ty Armand It has a blown head gasket.To certify that it does,get a compression tester and check each cylinder for a CONSISTANT reading.Both cylinders should be close,but in this case one will be alot lower then the other.
Its very debatable to change the other head gasket on the good cylinder head,I personally would do so.
that has to be a flaw..same thing happened to my 19 hp kohler , either not torqued at the factory or needed loctite..but EXACT samehting happened
I'm not a big fan of epoxy putty. On paper, it's really nice. The problem in practice is that stuff ends up not sticking as good as liquid epoxy. Also, I find that putty like to crack real easy compared to the liquid epoxy.
Your the greatest , love these videos !
Hello.....love your videos. Do you have one on doing a front wheel alignment. I have 15year to 18 year murray riding mower. thank you !!!
Broken back on ronnie! Ha ha!
your hilarious! glad i found your channel.
Hahahaha Amodacaded,hahahahahahaha great new word,I will use it !!!!
Hey Taryl, I love the videos. Very helpful and entertaining! I watched several videos of yours on this particular engine, and they helped tremendously. But now I am in the market for a brand new mower. Do you have any suggestion for a base to mid-level residential lawn tractor for a 1 acre yard? My main concern is reliability. I don't want to go though the same stuff that I had to with this Kohler engine.
Crazy but my 2007 Kholer 20 Courage block cracked in the exact same spot and the bolt above never backed out and hit the flywheel. WTF?
Who needs toilet paper when you can fold yourself like @ 10:20
Like the hillbilly repair buddy , I never thought that stuff would hold but ok I'll give it a try. Cheers
Have you tried using this repair on a crankcase where the oil is held? Cracked created by broken connecting rod.
Might try a MIG weld but there is no pressure in a crankcase and it doesn't cost much to try it.
You have great videos, keep them coming !
Love watching these so entertaining as well.
When i use that kind of putty i wet my hands / gloves with water to prevent it from sticking to my hands / gloves.
The only thing about gloves that I could warn about is dont use latex with the talcum powder in it. The powder will ruin the epoxy.
great job guys
This is pure corn pone. Who thinks Taryl needs to find some hee haw honeys in the tall grass.
theres no need to fix the crack kohler has replaced six of these for my customers reguardless of age the early models cracked right under the exaust valve call kohler and file a complaint don't waste your time trying to mess with these crappy engines when they will fix them under warrantee
Oh crystal ball... Will Ronnie ever stop scamming people?
I paid $5,000 to take that Ronald Jergenstein class to learn how to fix old lawn mowers and he sold me a kit to fix cracked engine blocks that had what looked like a tube of Elmer's school glue with sawdust in it . There was a piece of tape over the label that said , Jergenstein Cracked Block Fixer , and then a roll of duct tape and a bumper sticker that said Jergenstein Lawn Mower Workshop that your supposed to put over the duct tape or on the mower where people can see it good . The kit cost $45.00 and the books , tapes, c.d's and nutritional supplement vitamins and V.H.S. tapes cost $875.00 but they haven't arrived yet . I called him and he said he was sorry it's taking so long but he offered to sell me some dish soap and laundry detergent real cheap to make up for it .
Sorry, Not a kosher repair. Get a new or used short block, or just shoot that engine. I hate em.... But I do own a Kroller twin on a new Craftsman tractor.
This is some good lawn mower pleasure to watch thx TFA👍
Courage the cowardly Kohler
Maybe Ronnie can use some of that epoxy putty to make a back brace. I like Taryl`s videos, they are red blooded American instant justice. No " PG", or " R " ratings here. No trials, no papers to file, go ahead punk, make my day.
wet your finger to smooth out the epoxy.
Can you tell me the torque on the screws for that plate
Is it sad i didn’t see how using that c clamp was “hillbilly” cause that’s something I thought was normal😅
Thanks for the cheap fix
We call it hallibuton weld in the oil field
awesome video taryl
I will keep this tip in my back pocket, I basically have the same engine ( 20 hp ), now let me go check my nuts, so this wont happen. This style engine seems to need alot of repairs.
Thanks to Taryl and crew its ready for another year, cross my fingers.
Hillbilly is Best.
Are those your real teath
