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!
Boy this saved the day. Took my Husky deck off a few days ago, got sick, then couldn't remember what to do, despite taking photos.
Man I have watched this particular vid many times. Today I got the motivation to actually do the job. Your instructions were absolutely perfect. Thanks man 👍🏼
Thanks!
@@JeffsLittleEngineService oh man now I believe its the magnet within the clutch assembly. Gotta get a feelers set to attempt that fun
i have mentioned to you many times how much i enjoy your channel. Not only is your camera work clear but your explanations are expert. I also enjoy your beautiful birds. Thank you for taking time to make these interesting and entertaining videos Jeff.
Wow, thank you so much.
thank you so very much. its hard to find DYI stuff for my old mower. and the engine still works great. but the blades aren't engaging. this was very helpful.
Thank you Jeff, I'm recovering from a broken belt, it is really hard to engage the blade & when I disengage, the blade continues to turn. I think it's just the actuator arm needs a little lubrication. My deck is this exact model, but a Craftsman - Painted black,
It's great to see exactly where every hook, pin, plastic place & spring is connected! (Anybody can take something apart :) 5 starz and a small token paypal headed your way, Please use it for the benefit of your feathered friendz. (even if it's a deterrent to to those who would harm them)
Thanks friend. I would definitely service and lube the actuator pulley pivot point. When severely rusted, I have had to disassemble, sand and clean the bracket and bolt and spacer before.
Thank you! I just replaced the spindles on my DLT 3000 and lol couldn't remember where the deck cable attached - right there on top of the spindle of course. Thank you for the great video!!!
Glad it helped
You done a good job and really helped me I didn’t know how to take that blade engagement lever out Thank you
Thanks for watching friend
Thank you so much! Would’ve taken me forever to figure this out without your video
You're very welcome!
I have a DLT 3000 that I believe that I bought from Sears in 2003 (new). They are good mowers. The one thing that I hate about them is that I have to replace deck mandrels about every three years (aluminum fatigue and they break). Over the years, I have had to replace a head gasket, a starter, and a gas line or two. Other than some pretty simple repair, changing the oil and filter, and keeping the deck cleaned off and all those moving deck parts shot with some WD-40, these mowers will do a great job.
good tips
Thanks for the video! Mine snapped. Going to replace it now.
Watching a number of these broken cable videos lead me to believe these are fatigue failures. Many flexes cause the cable to crack.
Solution: engage the cable only once per day. If you come to a place where you would stop the blades from turning (loose rocks, etc.), just leave them turn and raise the deck to clear instead.
Thanks Jeff. I have to change one of those Craftsman cables before spring gets here. Now I'm sure I can do it thanks to you.
Merry Christmas my friend!! Happy New Year!! I’ve been here turning wrenches for quite a while now with you. I’ve learned so much from your channel. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for watching, Happy New Year to you
@@JeffsLittleEngineService thanks Jeff
This was an excellent video. Thanks.
Just an FYI: I was easily able to swap the cable w/out removing the deck, but I do appreciate the instructions on how to remove the deck in case the next time I have to do this doesn't go as smoothly. Thanks again!
NICE! good work!
Yeah if you were missing hee haw
I did this same repair, just removed the fuel tank and lowered the deck, maybe an hour start to finish. Sprayed the pivot parts on the deck to free them up when I ordered the cable from Amazon (12$). Also had a frozen parking brake, that took longer LOL!
Balanced and sharp. Nice tight fit
Hey Jeff!I enjoy all your videos.Happy Holidays.
Happy holidays! Thank you so much!
Pretty good job. Only thing id advise against if any lube in pulleys can only lead to problems. Other than that good job. Small motors expert.
Thanks for the videos 👍 merry Christmas to you and yours!
Thanks friend Merry Christmas
that's my lawnmower! same problem.
Merry Christmas and Happy New year Jeff thanks for your entertaining vids
Thanks! Happy New Year to you
Always enjoy your videos , Happy New Year
Thanks! Happy new year!
Wow 😲 oh no not water! Good video 😃 your chicken however is very scary😲 mean roar!
8:12 is a perfect example of after you finally get something off next comes ahhhh...now I see how you're supposed to take it off; I'm lucky I didn't break it :)
So I replaced mine with a new cable and belt..both were exact matches to the old ones. Now the clutch engagement lever needs about 2 inches in height to lock into the notch...any adjustments?
My son has the same thing except its a Poulan same China made US assembled Lawn Mower, his 4 years old also leaves outside so the rain can run down the cable a sit and rust, I changed his a few weeks ago. I have the same one stays inside no problems since 1981 except a Briggs valve adjustment every 3 or 4 years runs like a new one..
Nice job. Merry Christmas
Thanks Tim!
Good one Jeff.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas Bill and a Happy new year to you
Took me a total of about 45 min start to finish .
Its a cmomon occurance because people don't lubricate the cables before they install them
Man that was more difficult than I thought it would be but you came out on top. Great job. Happy New Year to you and your family. Thanks for the video
Happy new year! Thank you.
I'm sure you felt proud taking care of the Hawk 🥴
Not really but something had to be done
Thanks great help.
Glad it helped
I sure do wish you showed us how to unhook the other end!!! Duhhh
The other end connects on top the pulley by carter pin be sure to grab and not lose the washer the sits on top the pulley Under the pin
thanks
why cant you leave the activation arm on the dash I was able to remove the cable without having to.
You can! Good job!
Did you install the battery backward? Is polarity reversal ok?
the terminals may have been opposite on this battery.....just make sure positive cable goes to positive terminal on the battery and negative to negative
I really wish they would have came up with something better, even the old linkage style was better
does it ever get real cold there or just cool and rainy?
Mostly just cold and rainy Winters below 1000 feet sea level and snow above that
@@JeffsLittleEngineService thanks, i was just wondering.
Replaced the cable but it's difficult to move it up in order to engage the blades and mower is not cutting. Anybody got any ideas? Rebuilt the deck too...
Loosen the blade spindle nuts until the blades spin freely. They (blades) must spin without resistance.make sure that the tensioner pulley is not locked up and lube the bearings of needed.
Can you shorten a cable that is stretched
not really, but if you get creative, maybe.
Why do some videos say remove deck and should I replace clutch at same time.
not good advice unless you are wealthy and like to spend money
can you come and fix my crappy craftsman riding lawn mower? I live in chicago. thanks
maybe, lol!
Just like everyone else, you only show half the job. Why you can't show reconnecting the cable to the deck really confounds me.
You have done everything to that lawnmower except wash it.
lol! and I won't do that!
Great work area...haha.
You dont have to drop the deck out from under the mower.
This guy....smfh.
I hope it helped
Hawk murderer
"relocated"
What a waste of time... geez
