Another trick I have from personal experience, if your bearing is going into a housing or if your crank is going into a fit, put them in a freezer for a few hours, I worked with size on size or 2-3 thou shrink fits and it’s really great. Conversely, heating things up helps in the appropriate places.....great videos tho, I appreciate your clarity... you’re really good at this
Love the vintage Sears/Craftsman tractors I remember my dad bringing home a brand new 1967 Craftsman Suburban I was in the wow factor for months today at 59 I also own a new Craftsman T240 it's a cross between a Lawn/Garden tractor it's a remarkable machine
Here's a little tip: It's a good idea to put a little bead of weld on the inside part of where the little arm meets the governor cross shaft while you have it out. It's a pretty common failure point for the arm to break off. And as we all know you have to pull the engine out then pull the crank and cam out to fix it. I've found more than one of those arms in oil pans.
11:19 Couple of critical tips missing. Be sure to stagger the gaps/joints of the rings so they don’t line up with each other. Also, be sure to install the rings right side up according to the instructions and punch marks.
I recently bought a rebuild kit that and your instructions here are both fantastic! Quick question tho - how far in should the PTO bearing be? I can't tell if mine bottomed out or is just stubborn. Measured the bearing face is about 1/4" from the centerline of cam gear.
I like watching your videos I’m trying to learn I have an original family heirloom John Deere 300 garden tractor. I grew up with as a child. My father bought it in 1978 brand new and I thought it was the most amazing piece of equipment I ever saw, I currently on it but the motor needs to be rebuilt for sure. I’m just not sure how to do it or where to get all the stuff I need to do it how do I get help with all of these items doing the work and buying the parts.
Make sure you measure camshaft end play with the rod halfway installed, as in manual. My camshaft measurement changed from .012 to .010! Now I’m in spec
takes me back to the assembly line only we used a hydraulic press to put in bearings, cam and crank shaft had hand inside case to turn crank to line up cam and balance gears
!! At 20:20 those head bolts look a tad short. .... And I clean out my bolts holes before I start putting in new parts, not after I have a new piston & rings in there.
Paul Couch Hello, how do you clean out bolt holes Sir? Do you use a tap too? I will be replacing a head gasket on my K321 any tips would be appreciated.
Paul Couch thank you very much sir! Since I'm just replacing the head gasket, guess, l only put the cylinder at TDC and cover it very well before cleaning the bolt holes, thanks for replying
Salut Norman, Je suis FAN 😉 Quel dommage de ne pas comprendre tes explications, heureusement tes vidéos sont très bien expliquées. Sur un de mes K301, j'ai supprimé la pompe à essence car usée, aucun problème pour un démarrage à froid, mais plus possible à chaud. Cela peut'il venir de ça d'après toi ? Le réservoir est bien au dessus du carburateur. Un jour j'achèterai un de tes kits de mise à neuf. 😉 Merci pour cette superbe vidéo 😋
I have a case TL 100 trencher with an old Kohler motor on it . I think it needs a new carburetor but I can't find any numbers on the motor. There is a number on the carburetor 5205301. Do you know how i would find out how to get parts for it. Thank you
I may have lost the instructions that came with my rebuild kit. I have two rings, one with an inner bevel and one with an outer bevel, which is the Compression Ring and the Scraper Ring? I'm also seeing different things online. Should both bevels be facing down or all the lettering be facing up?
Hi There. You install the rings in the 3rd groove, then 2nd, and then top. The third groove is a 3 piece ring. You put the wavy expander in first, and then walk 1 thin rail below it, and 1 thin rail above it. That's groove 3. Groove 2 will be the ring with the outside step. Put that in the second groove so the step part is facing down. Groove 1 will get the ring with the inside bevel. Install that so the bevel is upward. Please email or call us if you have any further questions.
Thank you for the video They are alway very informational, you seem to be very meticulous. Do you sale a rebuild kit for a Kohler 18HP Magnum. I'm thinking of rebuilding mine it looks like it's leaking oil out of the rear seal. Thanks again

@@Isavetractors do you know where i can find a coil for the kholer engine weldapower 150 it is a single coil. Not the one with multiple coil like a stater. It is on songle piece and a coil.
Hi Norm. I have an M12 on a wheel horse 312-8. When I re-assemble the breather, the nut wants to collapse in the center of the cover thus lifting the edges of the cover and compromising the seal. Any tips? The order I re-assembled is gasket-breather plate, reed valve, reed stop, rubber bushing, filter, gasket then cover. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks for the video. I bought my kit from you and have been working to finish the rebuild. I did wonder which piston ring goes on the top of the piston from the two rings that are not oil rings. Also, I needed to know which way they face. Could you answer this question? Thanks!
Sure. Ring with inside bevel is the top ring. Install bevel facing up. 2nd ring is the one with a 90 degree step. install this step facing down. Your Piston Kit should have come with written instructions. If you need another copy please send us an email.
Crankcase hose was a late 80's emission rule. It's not necessary nor does it reduce emissions for this engine significantly. You should re route the breather hose down and out of the way and let it vent to atmosphere.
I’d like to get one of your kits for my Koehler engine but I’m not sure what size it is. There are no plates or serial numbers on it anywhere. It was restored cosmetically at some point and everything was sandblasted/painted over apparently. The body is 1954 1054 I’m sure of.
You can measure the cylinder bore and use that dimension to figure out which one it is. Give us a call or send me an emailbif you need help. Info@isavetractors.com
at 17:55 in the video after you assemble the valve breather plate, just below that plate there are 2 bolt holes. what are those used for or are they used at all? my k241 is very similar to what you rebuilt in this video.
I Had like 4 shims, i am really confused, where else would these shims go if the cam shaft play is good with one. Does shimming the govener give higher revs or what
I would add to this video a couple of things. Before doing and valve seat work you must make sure the valve guides are in good shape. If they are worn then anything done to the seats will not be accurate. Also you always lap the valves weather they are new and fresh cut seats or not. I would also suggest some assembly lube on the internal engine parts before reinstalling : cam to tappets, cam gear to crank gear. Some people just use motor oil and that works too, but use something and don't reassemble the parts dry. As for the new head bolts. I don't see a reason for them. They are not torque to yield bolts like a modern car engine uses and unless they somehow got severely rusted the factory bolts have worked in rebuilt engines longer than these guys have been alive. Your choice.
jerry davis if I purchase new valves Do You think they need to be grounded down a little on the length? Or they're pretty much the right length size out of the box? Thanks in advance
I ordered the stock 10hp kit .in looking at old rings the in gap was huge 85k- 90k gap near 1/8 th could it of ran that way? Any way the new rings are 27k to 32k already is that tight enough?
hi norman: There wasn't a governor thrust washer (brass?) on the stub shaft when I disassembled my k241. do you know what size/width that is? I will want to put that be in between the governor gear and the stub shaft I'm assuming.
@Phil Hall there should be a K301 in the case of the one I have embedded behind the bearing plate where it attaches on the block. if it is a K series. that was how some of the K241s came which are 10HP
I have a killer 14 hp cranks up fine but after running for 30 min it dies have to wait 15 to 30 min before it will start again any ideas what the problem would be?
with these motors ... dont always need to... there cut pretty darn good.. nothing really warps. but the head.. tho i do use i guess becuse iam oldschool.. the indain gasket stuff from loctite i think makes it. lil brown plastic bottle.. stuff is awsomeeeeeee....... none of this sillycone crap for me on these motors.

I rebuilt my k301 and it was really tight once complete. I could only turn it with a ratchet. Any idea what could cause that? Once I got it started the governor was not reacting to load changes. Now it won't hardly turn over and when it does start it runs too fast like the throttle has no control over the engine speed. Thanks!
Hi Norman, I bought your kit for my JD314 with a k321 then lost my phone with all my pictures. Quick question if you could. Does the bearing cover have 4 equal length bolts or are 2 longer ones? I had all 4 in the same bag but the 2 seem to bottom out before they tighten down.

When you are trying to focus on something in your hand, a trick I’ve seen is people put there hand behind what you’re focusing on, the camera refocuses on the part in your hand in the background
Do you know the thickness of the governor gear washer spacer thickness.i lost mine and replaced it with one close Can I be ok to choose a different spring hole till it runs best?
when you install the bearing plate onto the PTO shaft after putting the 2 gasket/shims, it is not evident if you had previously installed the bearing into the bearing plate? is that the case?
Kohler says 285lb on the connecting rod then I reolised the old measuring system was in inch pounds not foot pounds i forget that was wrote for a beam wrench it translate to
HI. I'm new into this kind of hobby. Qst: why do you hate Kohler engines? From what I see on the internet, these engines seem to be kind of good engines for commercial machines. I got a free Ford LGT165 tractor from someone who bought a new property and it was in the gagage, since neither the guy or his wife didn't know anything in mecanic, they just put it on the internet for free to get some more room in their new garage!!!. So I'm planning on rebuilding the whole tractor, myself and probably installing a front loader (I already bought all the parts for the building in the last year planning to do it). I have a lot of Tools, and I worked in the past with mecanics , and I thought , why not that ford tractor, it seem to be a good proect, and later, probably doing some small jobs with it, and making some money out of my project… Tks.
@@lukebecker1959 I read about problems with the 2 cylinders Kohler engines. Mine is a one cylinder 16hp K341. From what I read, these one cylinder engines are kind of classic and good ones I hope this is true!!!Lol. But for now, I haven't even stated to look at it yet, so it's just sitting in my garage, untill I finally get the time to start working on it this winter. As a hobby, I'm all excited about this proect, l'm like a kid walking in a candy store!!! Lol. I've always wanted to do that kind of projects on my own. Anyway. I'll see…
I do NOT care for chasing the threads on the block before installing the cylinder head with a tap, mainly because there some shitty taps out there and you may remove material where you don't want to. A little oil on the threads would be better.
