Merry Christmas y’all! Just to clear the air, No, the Muffkin off the original engine wouldn’t fit in place of the new one with that fan housing. If it would have fit, I would have used it. Thanks fer watchin
That's pretty par for the course. That's why they call it working on stuff. You keep working until you get it to work. Or you've had enough. That happens sometimes too.
I did the exact same swap a couple of years ago. I had to buy a 1” to 3/4” sleeve adapter for the crank to fit the fan, and buy a curved exhaust pipe off of eBay and mounted the old cylindrical muffler from my old Briggs. Works great!
Same here, adapter for the crank. For the muffler, I cut the pipe and added about a 3” extension and used the original muffler. That’s been like 5 years ago and still going strong.
I did that exact swap about 10 years ago. The muffler was definitely a sticking point. I used the Predator muffkin with a piece 1" od 90deg. Tubing . Still runs great.
Merry Christmas, Taryl and Crew! Now, give us another edition of a Fireside Chat with the bloke from England doing a technical service manual episode!!!!!
Did this a few years ago. I guess I took the easy way out, I cut off the Predator muffkin and welded a steel 90 degree pipe fitting to it. Screwed on a Briggs hot dog muffler for an 8 hp and ran it until I sold it, when I decided to go with a backpack blower. Love the Predators, but I did bust the crank on one when the leaf vac ingested a bigger stone. Engine still ran like new, but was useless with it broke flush with the side cover.
Oil filler hole is designed so the avg. knucklehead cannot overfill the engine oil, it'll spillover - Taryl easy-hole redesign would throw the entire knucklehead world into chaos.
Did the same job about 6 years ago. I cut the pipe off of the mufkin about mid way and added a 3/4" 45 degree street el. Brazed the pieces together and works great. The mufkin tilts in more but is a little higher so there's plenty of room for the spark plug and it now clears the fan housing. Great engine. Starts first pull every time.
I was listening to the song and thought, "um, I am not sure those are the words," and I heard the editor put the confusion noise overtop and knew, ah, okay. Thank you, editor.
You need to cut the pipe from muffler and weld a threaded nipple on it and use plumbing part. Like 45 degree and 90 degrees and then a straight cigar muffler.
I did this exact same swap about 5 years ago on our TracVac. Yep, the muffkin was the sticking point. I got a little creative and made it work. Still runs great today, those predators are pretty decent engines. Oxygen/propane works pretty good too for a torch setup, and propane is lots cheaper than aphetamine (acetylene for the non-grass rats). But, you do use more oxygen with propane.
last year I operated a Bobcat ground tamper that had a Honda engine on it. It leaked oil through the rings while it's shut off. One way to prolong a small engine on its last legs is to drain the old oil out and replace the oil with 80-90 gear oil. Even if the piston rings are stuck or worn out, a higher viscosity oil will stay in the crankcase longer than the recommended grade of engine oil and it will not smoke as much while running it
The trick when using an air chisel on the head of a bolt. Put a socket wrench on the bolt. The drive end will capture the chisel point and keep it from sliding off.
Those fan blades were shot they should be almost touching you can weld plates to them or he needs a new one it would suck alot more I just weld ours up but they're mounted on zero turn decks belt driven off the deck aswell
Great show guys. I knew that job was no match for you. Also I found out if you put bees wax on those wood drawers they pull out nice 😊 thanks for sharing buddy 👍

Just like the Marines...Adapt, Adjust, and Overcome! Semper Fi, dude...
Love that smell of New Engine in the morning, smells like Victory!
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who puts stuff together, finds out it won't work, and then has to redo it. Merry Christmas, Taryl!
That's pretty par for the course. That's why they call it working on stuff. You keep working until you get it to work. Or you've had enough. That happens sometimes too.
Merry Christmas to y'all too Taryl, Delores, Jr, Slippers, Elkskins, Blade, n Mufkin. Thank you

He is so happy with his new work center. Merry Christmas and thank you wonderful folks for working so hard for us.

I bought one of those cheap motors for an edger. I can't even get the thing to run. If you pour gas in the carb. it runs.
I think your song selections were perfect. No butcher
An instant holiday classic! 🎄🎅
Merry Christmas to Taryl and crew!
Merry Christmas to everyone at Grass Rat's Garage! Even Mr. Cameraman!
I cut the muffler pipe and extend it with a pipe then weld it. It's worked on my fleet of blowers.
Thanks Taryl nice job👍🏻
Happy Holidays to everyone
Maybe try swapping the cylinder heads if they're compatible? Little Johnny cracks me up every time! Lol 😄

Its time for a calender.. great video ! 👍🏻🇺🇲
I see your sold out.....darn
Little Johnny inherited the Coalgate smile.😬
Engine will fit on this trac vac because of taryl is the one that can get it done with a great thing s he knows
To fill the oil on those engines, I have a squeeze bottle. It works great. Happy New Year!
Heat Wave: Martha and the Vandellas 1963. Good song!
Best thing *_not_* on a boys Christmas list Clothes
Weld it up weld it up. Weld it up
Thumbs up great video, there is a serious side to Taryl shop,its a commercial machine, a muffler cover won't be missed
you got the HEMI head model Taryl. you needed the other predator model with the standard style head and then your muffler might of work.
I love listening to these while working in my shop 😂
man that was just like down town Tijuana ! with out the toilets overflowing !
You guys are a riot. Merry Christmas INDIANA Jones. And Ohio! PA, etc. A 2024 with zero Executive Orders!
Supperzilla is great stuff to loosen rust
Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas.🎄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄🎄👍
41:32 Hard to Fill is my favorite Steven Seagal movie
I would have loved to hear Little Johnny tell Santa to 'Pony up'. 😂😂
Im glad little Johnny got his chainsaw!
Always fair, Taryl and fun!. That was my thought heat it up bend it in. Welder persons and mechanics are cool.
I'm just a Deli worker.

Those predators are good little engines. Likely made in the same factory as the new breaks and scrap em equivalent.
Merry Xmas to you'll.
Taryl Merry Christmas 🎁 to you and the crew !!!
That Santa is nightmare fuel.
Merry christmas everybody
Merry Christmas happy New Year and God bless you all
excellent mod....
love the BFH fix
Just beat it, just beat it.
As my dad would say, you will only touch it once.
Just heat it, just heat it. Michelle's less known song.
Nice Job Guy !
Well done again Sir
Don’t worry Mick, your job is safe!
Merry Christmas to everyone and a Happy New Year 🎄🦌 👍

Nice to see your shop a bit more organized.
Beautiful cats!
To fill the crankcase with engine oil we use to have a 2-3 gallon hand pump sprayer tank with the end spray nozzle removed. Circa 1970
Sometimes I wonder if Elkskins is really referring to the mowers etc... when he says "fire it up!" 😆 Merry Christmas Taryl and Co.
The trick when using an air chisel on the head of a bolt. Put a socket wrench on the bolt. The drive end will capture the chisel point and keep it from sliding off.
Would spacers between the fan shroud and the block not be a option?
Go to small engine warehouse in muncie and get a vanguard 6.5 hp engine
The muffler issue fits perfectly
Those fan blades were shot they should be almost touching you can weld plates to them or he needs a new one it would suck alot more I just weld ours up but they're mounted on zero turn decks belt driven off the deck aswell
Guess the old muffkin wouldn't have worked on the predator?
Little Johnny's braces popping off looked like it wasn't supposed to happen and they just rolled with it. lol
It worked out pretty smooth 😂
Merry Christmas y'all
Great show guys. I knew that job was no match for you. Also I found out if you put bees wax on those wood drawers they pull out nice 😊 thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for the tips and videos!
You should do a collab with Mick Jagger and fix some of his yard machines.
Awesome video God Bless you and your family Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas, to all of Ya. I thought the vac was going to get you in the private parts area it sucked so good.
To Taryl and all Merry x-mas. thanks for all the great videos. and have a happy new year.
A Christmas story. One of my favorites
Taryl. you couldn't use the muffkin from the old engine ?
Merry Christmas to all and have your turkey Dinner tonight! Nice Harbor Freight Goose neck video. Say Hi to Little Johnny at the orphanage for us, Funny boy that Johnny is.🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆🦃🍺 There's your Ham's Liquid dinner.
Merry Christmas
Little Johnny gives me creeps 😂
Merry Christmas to ALL
Merry Christmas from Alberta Canada!!
Cool cub Koda bottle bottom glasses, Taryl. Merry Christmas to you all!
I just put a socket on the bolt head and cut the air hammer bit to fit the square drive 🎉
Merry Christmas from mass.
