PLEASE KEEP IN MIND when you are watching my videos: I am showing you the least expensive, quickest "backyard" methods for repairing or servicing your lawnmower or equipment. Replacing all components such as gaskets and fuel lines is always recommended when rebuilding or repairing equipment. With these videos I hope you are able to fix and repair your lawnmower yourself with minimal parts, knowledge and tools. Thank you for watching!
Get yourself a can of Fluid Film at your auto parts store and spray some on the battery terminals. Spray it on your snow shovel too to keep snow from sticking to it. When in doubt, spray Fluid film on it. Keeps things from rusting and corroding. Great stuff.
GREAT tip Doug!
I just removed the carb, and heads on a 23 v-twin Intek, I just bought. It mowed a few minutes and it blew a cloud of smoke. I removed the heads but saw no problems, except some carbon. I drained the gas and filled with non-ethanol. New aftermarket,(cheap) carb, gaskets, filters, oil and plugs. I got it together and then the compression tried to lock up the new battery. I did the valves again, this time to .005. I did not replace the vac or gas hoses. I like the way you did the 300hr service. Mine has 180hr. I got lots of tall weeds cut today. I hope the starter turns over tomorrow. Thanks.GW
I just bought the 2021 Craftsman T240 22 horsepower V Twin Kohler (725 cc) engine hydrostatic K46 transmission 3 gallon fuel tank 12 gauge steel deck Cruise control 3 year warranty across the board no hours BS weight is 600 pounds love it love craftsman
Easy fix for the oil drain is to remove the junk coupler and replace it with a longer piece of pipe with a cap on the end. Make sure it's longer than the frame. Eliminates the oil leaks and makes it much easier to drain the oil.
great tip!
That is so obvious. What was Craftsman thinking?
I used 3/8” galvanized pipe to an elbow to dump the oil down near the side of the frame and then into the factory oil shutoff.
I'm a 75 yr young woman, raised in an auto garage in summer. grew up very mechanical minded. will try
to fix it myself first, so your video ended before you actually change the oil. I wanted to see that, but I learned a lot. You can always learn a better way even if u do know how already. I've got to change the 3 blades and belts on my riding mower, hope that goes well. I can't figure out if my mower has a oil filter.
I have the manual, its a MTD/Troybilt 22 HP B&S engine. Twin V.
you can do it!
where is the oil filter on this mower?
You look to see if it has a filter, if it's not obvious then it doesn't have an oil filter
NIce job Jeff: I had two of those last fall and this winter with broken cam compression release mechanism on them causing the starter to lock. Big engines, had to have my wife help remove one of them. Also saw a bulletin that the chokes were improperly adjusted from the factory. I think the oil quick release valve is either a 22 or 24 MM deep socket. I had to purchase one as I also had lots of those come loose on Briggs and also on Kohler's. Will check the size and let you know. Thanks for great video.
Thank you for the info! I have not had to replace a cam on the twin cylnder yet. I will try a long socket

Jeff, i thought it looked like you forgot to hook the breather hose from the valve cover up. That loose oil cap sucks to tighten. I think i would go back to a pipe nipple and cap. Engine sounds very good sir.🇺🇸👍Roger
Thanks Roger. I ended up replaceing the fuel pump vacume hose that goes to the valve cover
The best way to to tighten the drain plug is to take the starter off, I have worked on them to long to go through what you went through
When you change the oil ,take that fitting off ,and put a small amount of lock tight on them the threads or replace it with a longer pipe.
Great tip Ray
Then a elbow to the factory oil shutoff. Oil will dump down the frame rails.
Tech tip 789 don't break a nub ! Hi to Chunk !😎 Great work Jeff .
Good tip! Thanks for watching and commenting Bill!
I love the fact that Briggs uses a lot of metric stuff. 7,8,10,11,13, and 15mm are the only sockets you need, lol. I can't stand using SAE. I rarely use it unless I have to. It is just a headache.
I have a Craftsman mower with a 26hp Kohler engine that is having a similar issue. I was cutting grass with it, and it suddenly shut off. I initially thought the engine had locked up, but I eventually found that the starter had failed to disengage and the starter gear was jammed in the flywheel. The nut that secures the positive cable to the starter motor had also fallen off and the cable was disconnected. I took the starter motor off and bench tested it. Other than a slight wobble to the bendix, it worked fine. I replaced the solenoid after that. When I installed the new solenoid, I got nothing but the click. I eventually determined that the new solenoid was clicking as soon as I began to turn the key, and long before it reached the start position. I removed the connector from the ignition switch, and it is in rough shape. I reconnected it, turned the key to the run position, and laid a piece of metal across the terminals on the solenoid. It turned over when I did this, but the starter did not disengage, and got jammed in the flywheel again. My guess is that the ignition switch went bad, caused the starter to stay engaged, and the starter was damaged when it got jammed in the flywheel. Do you agree? Is there anything else I can check. I also cleaned all of the connections.
The problem with the oil drain being loose, maybe if you use pipoe dope on the threada will help keep it tight. Good job!!
Good tip
Those spouts are my friend, I got a 2014 model Briggs 22 V Twin off a Deere because someone broke it off in the sump. $10 for a running engine? Heck yeah. Easy out and ten minutes and it's good as new.
Jeff , you set the oil filter on the battery and it fell down behind. Just letting you know.
Thank you friend!
I probably would've given that exhaust valve another .001 or so, it'll tighten up more when the engine gets hot(just personal preference). Other than that, excellent video and very detailed.
Nice job, great camera work too. And yep, why the heck would they put that dinky plastic thing on there for oil change convenience. lol. They must do that on purpose.
I wish you would say “boys and girls,” because girls also watch your channel, and that’s good. Apart from that you do an amazing job, and thank you so much!
YES! I started doing that in my videos. Thanks for watching
Hey Jeff ...in this video you had an oil filter on top of the battery and when you started the last time un the video the filter slid behind the battery...FYI
i saw that also
Very detailed thanks for valuable lesson how to adjust exhaust valve
Thanks for watching Quang
Thats always the first thing you do is clean the connections. A little WD- 40 goes a long way son. Always start with the obvious. My dad taught me that. You would be amazed at how much time and money you can save. Nice looking rig really. The home owner should have checked it himself. I see so many cars like that. I use a battery post spray paint on all my machines requiring a battery. No issues ever again.
good advice from your Pa. regular maintenance is important!
Seen the silkies and had to subscribe lol. I fell in love with silkies.
Me too! Thanks for watching
Awesome video. i used stainless steel bolts on the battery wire connection, less chance of rust. thank you for this information in this video. :)
Great tip!
Short of unbolting the engine to get a wrench on that oil drain, not much else I know of you can do different. This video helped me though, now I know what to expect when I go through mine in the spring, which should be in a few months!
Add a 3/8” x 4”long galvanized pipe to an elbow and then to your oil shut off, that way the oil will dump on the side of the frame of the mower works great.
Wow! You should have replaced that lug. The cable is probably filled with corrosion, too.
Looks like my Deere model 135, pretty much the same engine. 👍👍. Nice job!
yep!
Great video! Learned a lot. Great video and comments and a good sense of humor!
Take out the 2 bolts holding the starter on and it will be easy to get to the oil drain then. Now you can find out exactly what size wrench it needs for future reference and you can put a little thread locker on it so it won't come loose again.
good tip
My ZT has a Briggs 726 cc. The oil drain is a rubber hose with a screw on cap. My 17.5 Briggs I installed 1/4 in pipe with a cap. I will send pics if you want.
Never saw a battery cable that bad , sure wasn't taken care of . Probably sit outside also . Thanks for the valve adjustment lesson , I've only made adjustments a couple times on the overhead valve engines . I saved this video for future references - 👍
Always love your videos!! You do a great job and please keep them coming.
Thanks Glenn!
You could just loosen the bolts that mount the engine to the frame. You could give yourself a little more room to tighten the drain that way
Nice job Jeff as always!
Thanks! I appreciate that
Would a donor wrench work if you bent a 90 degree angle on it for that drain plug ? Don’t know if there’s enough room up top for the wrench but might be worth a try being that this happens a lot. Great video Jeff.
Crows foot for drain plug
Hi. Just checking if the old oil filter or something fell off the battery? @39:08 plus. Not sure if I missed previous comments. My apologies if I did. Thoughts?
Yep you are right! I found it though
hI JEff/ When did you remember the oil filter on the battery also reconnect the valve breather hose ?
eventually! lol
Air filter bolt stuck? Try clamping it in the center with the vise grips. Try at least hosing the machine off before starting to work on it. And harbor freight wrenches will last forever tinkering on lawn equipment. You need metric everything for newer equipment
Thanks for the tip
Ah I was about to say the negative should have been pulled first thing prior to messing with the positive. Take a dremmel and cut them off
You can also take off the starter
Use stainless for replacement bolts for battery terminals
Go to the penetrating oil before trying to remove the nut it works better.
great tip
You probably can replace the oil drain plug with a metal threaded pipe with a square head threaded nut?
great tip!
My craftsman was running and cutting . I turned it off for a sec and it won’t turn back over. Barley spins on top. Any suggestions? Could it be the battery ?
yep it could be the battery
Try a bass in wrench. They are cheep at harbor freight
29:14 You cant check both valves at the same time one has to be open and the other closed
why you used Croft foots wrenches
You are a genius...but..I notice you spill gas everywhere...please do not smoke or BBQ near the Equipment. I lost one of my 4 nuts holding the air filter casing, must have came loose and the vibration tossed it in the tall grass, probably best to order 4 spares for when they strip or get loose. Wonder if there is a 90w gear oil changing port on the transaxle?
lol! thanks for the comment
What sparkplug did you use for this application?
always NGK or Champion
Great job on the video
Thank you!
A good job!
where do you find the replace vac hose i have a craftman dys4500 24hp
What size are those spark plugs? I have the same model and it cranks but doesn’t start
NGK BKR5E
That quick release oil drain.... Can you tighten it with a crow foot adapter?
That's a great idea, I will have to look into that. Thanks!
Nice job . Thanks
Thanks for watching
What about an O2 socket on the flange?
o2 sensor socket? good idea but the one I have did not fit
Jeff on your Craftsman when you increase your engine speed do your blades spin the same speed or do they spin fastet
the blades should spin faster when engine rpm's are increased
Got a 2013 26 HP Kohler Courage in a Dixon riding mower, went through two Starters, other then that Oil, Grease, filters and Batteries. I use the crap out of it all year round for everything. I pulled 1500lb tree trunks, cut fields of Dry Weeds on 104+ degree days, 8 hrs straight with the motor sucking in nothing, but dirt and dry weeds. That's not including the dump shit my brother and I would do with it after work. Besides, when the starters went out, it starts in a crank. But maybe that's my luck.
try removing the starter to tighten the drain bolt
I think this tip is a good way to do it. Thanks for commenting
when removing battery remove the negative first .tnx am i right?
Yes
Lawnmower was running belt came off to cut grass . Now battery won't even click to start . Battery fully charged .
it clicks with a good 12 battery try this dont need switch on for test i use a screw driver or a pair of pliers to short out the 2 -- big bolts on the solenoid if it spins the starter it tells 2 things the battery is good and solenoid is bad replace it -------- if it dont spin starter it tells you the battery is about dead
I have a thin enough 1/2 wrench, but it won't fit over the solenoid end... At a loss....
44 seconds into the video it sounds like the bendix in the starter.
I have the same DYS4500 craftsman. My mower starts but sometimes hesitate to run or move forward. Wonder what's wrong with it. Please help.
Can someone show me where the solenoid is on a Craftsman. T2200 riding mower.
Boys? I am watching this KNOWING that I am going to get SCREWED because I don't know this stuff!!!GRRRR! My engine just stopped with a clunk and then clunked again, under my seat!! HATE LAWN MOWERS!!!!
jeff wear some mechanic gloves
Just put a new battery in mine and still drawing dead could it be the solonoid
clean/check the battery ground cable mount too. where it mounts to frame
HAVE THE SAME MOWER PUT NEW CARBURETOR ON IT AND IT RAN GOOD THEN IT HAS GOTTEN WHERE IT WILL NOT START AT ALL
only use OEM carburetor
Could it be bad spark plug?
could be but wasn't
whats th pn for the vacuum hose
I dont know you will have to look it up using the model number off the engine.
I need help bad. I got a 21hp Briggs and Stratton riding mower and i hit water hose and it cut the hose up and didn't get stuck around the blades or anything but it made the mower bog down just enough to kill the engine now I can't get it to start back. I put new plug, new oil, new fuel filter and everything. I know it has hit a stump before bc my fired gave it to me when they moved so I replaced the pull that holds the right blade and put new blades and battery and it's ran all summer last yr now I hit a freakin waterhose and can't get the dang thing to start. It turns over and no weird noises but sounds like it's not firing at all. What in the world could it be keeping it from starting? Do you think it's that timing key? Maybe it purnit in jist enough bind or maybe when they hit stump it may have partly messed it up but still worked and then me hitting the hose was enough to do it in maybe. I need help bad though bc my yarn and aunts are growing fast and need it running asap. I'd GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION YOU COULD GIVE ME TO HELP. THANKS!
yes it is a good possibility that the timing key is sheared.
I use a plumimg pipe and pipe plug.
good tip
I HAVE DONE IT WITH AN ADJUSTABLE WRENCH
I have 26 hp Briggs turn over will not start. what can i check to fix
fuel, compression, spark
Does not click to start like no fire
I am more confused than when we started
Mae
I would rip that Briggs out and put a 22 horsepower V Twin Kohler Engine in
My mower not star
Take it off and throw it away
Johorr
I have never seen so negative remark on a video,your not a mechanic ,you replace evrything.
So unprofessional that I can't watch past one minute.
Learn to use the wrenches correctly and using some penetrating oil might help.
you get what you pay for
What a waste of time
sorry no refunds
