My neighbor gave me a running but oil caked L120 a few years ago. I finally pulled it out today and I’m sure needs the exact same repair. Your tutorial is 1st rate and I’m sure will make this repair much more straightforward than just my own trial and error.
Thank you for outstanding work 👏🏼
Thank you
While some comments have offered slightly different tips/techniques, I have to say that of all the vids I have seen on B/S repairs yours are very thorough. You would make a great teacher - explaining exactly what you're doing and why are the hallmarks of someone who could easily pass on their skills. Now, I have to go to work on my Husqvarna yt22v46 mower. Thanks and take care....
Thank you for your kind words.
Thanks, Real Man Skills! I watched this video and learned a lot. I have a John Deere LA145 with the B&S 22HP V-twin, looks like the same engine as on the LA130 you worked on. Mine has 550+ hours on it, frequently in a dusty environment, and it sure doesn’t look as new as this one. Mine did fine up the the 500 hour service, but has started consuming quite a bit of oil. I haven’t had a good look at the outside of the engine yet, but will do that soon.
Thanks for watching!
I'm toying with a LA145 as well. Have you been able to work on yours yet? If so, are all the parts numbers the same for seals/gaskets?
@@Peradime, no, I haven’t looked at mine yet. I will probably get to it next week. I have a new hydrostatic transmission to go in it and will look at the engine then.
@@billmckinney7398 popped mine apart today. It all looked the same so far other than torx head screws on the oil pump, and single cable for throttle/choke. I'll pop back in if I run into any issues with parts matching up.
Needed to comment and say thank you for the thorough breakdown for each part of the disassembly process. I’m looking to do the same because of a possible broken camshaft and your video was the only one I’ve seen that explained each process by detail. Thanks again. Liked and subscribed 👍🏽
Thanks for watching! You got this!
Thanks for the detailed video. Excellent!
Thanks for watching!
This is quite intriguing and educational.
Thank you
Thanks for the video. There are some things I would have done differently, although nothing wrong with your methods. I would have cleaned the exterior of the crankcase first, including using some emery cloth or scotchbrite to get the crankshaft completely free of rust. After removing the top I would pump out the oil, wipe up and clean inside well and stuff the case full of clean rags to prevent any debris from dropping inside. I like to remove difficult gasket material with a brass bristle wheel in my Foredom tool or Dremel. I would have lubed the inside of where the new seal went and the seal itself and seated it with any soft object that fit it well like a piece of PVC pipe. I would have turned all the screws down until they stopped, in one shot, then started the tightening sequence. I would have scribed a permanent mark into the aluminum to indicate CCW rotation setting of governor arm.
That’s all! 😉😂👍🔧🧰
Thanks for watching.
First thing is checking oil for gas, then leak down test 😊
Very helpful video sir. Thank you for sharing with us. 😊😊😊 we really appreciate it.
Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching!
What a great video. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Just bought a used Husqvarna yth2448 mower with briggs and Stratton engine it's leaking pretty bad can't tell for sure but looks like coming from left head but is dripping off same bolt. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun
I have a Craftsman DLT3000 with that same engine and it had the same leaky crankcase gasket. It seems that these V-twin Briggs and Stratton engines are prone to that problem. Worth fixing in my opinion. Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkills I have a Mahindra 1626 tractor with 6ft befco finish mower I usually mow with but it's been at dealer for over a month waiting on parts so I had to have something to mow with just can't do the push mower thing anymore especially on 4 acres. Just got finished fixing the Husqvarna ran it bout 25 minutes so far so good it's pretty sweet little mower. Yes definitely worth fixing. Thanks again for the video
@@mikerequa820 Happy to help! A successful fix always feels great!
Does it matter what position the governor rod is in when installing the sump plate to the engine?
Awesome Video
Thank you
Wondering why you took the oil pump cover and pieces apart?
Thanks for the information sir.
Happy to help
Nice. Thank YOU, Sir!
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
I pack new seals that have a spring with wheel bearing grease, it keeps spring in place 😊
Thank you so much.
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
Other thing I do is order a B/S over haul gasket set, what’s left will be used later
Governor shaft seal is often overlooked and not replaced but there really bad at leaking
I just did this and my pto shaft is leaking. Ugh!
What I do in the area they AllWAYS leak at I use electric engraver and work it over there, gasket will stay put then
What was the part number for the crankcase gasket?
Briggs and Stratton 594195. Thanks for watching!
No thank you!!! My gasket was worse then yours!!
They have the nerve to tell us to clean out the thread locker from the bolt holes with a thread chaser, when it’s obvious they didn’t use any at the factory. My bolts rattled loose. One fell completely out. That’s why I’m here 😭
It must have been Monday morning manufacturing. Thanks for watching.
@@RealManSkills. extraordinario trabajo!!! Lo felicito!!
Gracias por ver@@breannaoliver6316
@@RealManSkillses UN previlegio!!
42:35 Maybe it would be easier to put the oil seal in AFTER the cover is put back on, and using a pipe or deep socket the same diameter as the seal, or slightly smaller.
That's another way, yes.
What is going on with the paint John Deere is using every one I've seen the paint on them is flaking off
It’s likely poor pre work. If the metal is not cleaned and dry or if it’s not primed it’s gonna peal. I’m betting JD is not using high end auto grade primer or finish paint. They just want to get them out of warranty before it happens.
@@kenhenderson628 that is the truth about that matter young man 👍😎 unless John Deere used powder coating
Great idea to replace both the crank case gasket and the output shaft seal so not to have to do the 2 seals 2 different times 👍
push in clutch
How much would you charge for that job?
I'm cheap. I probably would charge $150.
@@RealManSkills Good work and good price. Any chance your near Jersey if I need any work?
Thank you but no, I'm in Wisconsin@@jdub976
You don't have to take your engine out to change your crank seal
But you have to take the engine out to replace the crank case gasket. That is where the leak was. Thanks for watching.
So far its been a very well-done video except for the constantly yapping dog..
Put Comments back to Original location.
I didn't even know that was a thing.
@@RealManSkills For the moment they are back Under the Video instead of beside it.
