- Today I'm going to remove the rear tires and check the rear bushings for wear and we're going to check for side play and I'll show you where to put the nylon spacers to correct that problem and you can get them from partstree.com Thanks Jim
Please ask questions in the comments. I am transitioning away from email. This way, people can get help from others' questions. Thanks!
Jim, Can I remove the rear right fender easily to put in the shims made of plastic ???
Well, it depends on which fender you’re calling the right fender as you’re sitting on it or as you’re looking at it when it’s standing up, I would think the fender on the side opposite of the differential would be the easiest one to takeoff and put your spacers on. Jim.
How do I place a photo on here, so l can show a way to flush out both cases? Thanks
John it would be much easier to send the photos to my email which is

Thanks. Jim
Enjoyed very much thanks
Jim I noticed on my father in law 30 + year old snapper that the tire on the differential side is worn more than the other. There is still tread but I notice a big difference. I plan to switch the two but that requires switching the axle flange. I was able to break the bolts with air wrench.

Don't the rims unbolt from the axle flange. On most snappers the axle flanges on the right side is 1 1/8" and the left side is 3/4". Thanks Jim
How do I get all your videos
Well if you’re a subscriber you can get all of them. And it’s free to subscribe. Jim
my tire had lubricant on the inside by the rear axle a lot of all over it , i installed lubricant snapper in the diffrentential about 1 month before this so , i thank to much lubricant i put in the differential
No, it sounds like your seal is bad inside you dust cap that’s the only way it can leak out at that point. Jim
cool vid Jim good to know.
Just watching this, I was worried when I had not gotten the left tube on right, and it was not straight, so it had lube leaking out, but once I re-tightened the clamp with the boot back on the shoulder evenly, it's not leaking now. But what I was worried about, was it supposed to have that oil in under the boot. It seems that is ok, by watching this video. But was it because I put 80-90 lube in both cases? I had no idea how much to put in so I drained some back out. I replaced it with my grease gun by squirting several shots back in both cases.

It sounds like your boot was just crooked and that was the issue. Jim
Jim, I mentioned in a different thread that I just acquired a 2005 series 23. There is about 1/4 -3/8" side to side play in the rear axle. ...also...I don't have a measuring gauge, but I can see some vertical slack on both sides. Please refer me to the correct video for detailed instructions regarding bushing replacement. I'm sure I'll crack open the chain case while I have this puppy apart. This is gonna be fun!

Hi Freddie I am uploading a video right now that will help you in replacing your bushings in your fenders it is video 124 if you need any other assistance please let me know will talk to you soon Jim
awesome. Just what I needed...
Unreal the wheel bolts wouldn't come off. Some tough ones here came off only with an air powered impact.
CerebusTV
Yes I tried my impact, wouldn't budge them.
Your videos have been a great help. The machine I have does not have a grease fitting on the left side rear bushing nor one on the shift lever pivot point. Also the caps/boots are different. Model 3321518KVE / Ser 01208051 has Kohler 15 does this mean my machine is an older model??
I’m not sure how old the machine is does it have handlebars or steering wheel.Jim
@@jimjackson9381 has that rectangle steering wheel. That right side cap/boot is larger than what you show and it is obsolete. But the local shop had two and I got both. Also there is a collar with a set screw that is cut out to partly fit over the bushing. At least I think it is the bushing. Not sure if the set screw was suppose to be tighten or not but I did.
@@raytoppin7533 You want to loosen the setscrew put the collar over the end of the bearing take a punch in the hole in the collar in tap it to the right make sure it is tight then tighten the setscrew that is what holds your axle to the bearing you do not have bushings let me know if you have a problem. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 is the collar suplose to rotate with the axle or be stationary? I didn't use the punch. Bothe the right and left where lose. So what I did was made sure the indentaion was over bearing lip(?) and tighten the set screw.
@@raytoppin7533 Can you send me a picture of what you have and what the collar looks like. Jim
It required a puller and heating the wheel flange with an oxyacetylene torch to cherry red to get the wheel mount flange off (and the ears bent). The bushings turned out to have egg shaped out of round holes. Can you get new ones to press in?
Yes you can get any part you need to rebuild the snappers from, well there is numerous places to get them but I get all my parts from PartsTree.Com and if you go to Parts Tree.Com let him know Jim's fix it Shop sent you thanks Jim
love watching help me a lot to work my 2012 snapper pete
Linda Dupre
Hi Pete
Hey send me some pictures of your snapper all four sides so I can compare it to mine which is supposed to be a 2012 I would appreciate it, my email is. jimsfixitshop@gmail.com Thanks Jim
Hey Jim. What size nylon thrush bushings to I buy to get the slop out?
Partstree doesn't give the thickness of the nylon spacers on their web site. Do you happen to know the thickness of these so I'll know how many to order?
John AKA
The spacers are 1/16 of an inch thick. Jim
@@jimjackson9381 Got it. Thanks
Those hubs NEVER NEVER come off easy like that.Maybe if the mower was brand new.
Well I tell most my viewers if you buy a brand new one take the hubs off and put anti-seize on it and put it back together. Jim
What size are the bolt nuts to know for what size wrench I need for my impact to take those 3 bolts off the hub ? Thanks
@@dannymotovlogs4254 The three half-inch bolts that hold the tires on need a three-quarter inch socket to remove them. Jim
Someone put lock tight on the 3 bolts holding the wheel on. Why people do this is anyone guess?
William Davis
Typically the machines come from the factory with Loctite on the bolts that hold on the rear tires. Jim
I subbed
Bens Blades
Thanks I need that. Jim
