    Prior to and after the fix, local grandpa Gary has his hands full with curious menace "Little Johnny" that destruction seems to follow everywhere he goes! More hilarity ensues in another funny, yet informative, how-to small engine video. And as always... There's Your Dinner!!

      @Laston Grantham luckily you don't get some of the ride on mowers we get in the UK as some of the brands we get have ride on mowers made in China, Italy and two from the UK. They are not 100% in quality and we tend to see them with all manner of similar faults.

      Just want to add that you don't get a real John Deere until you spend a lot of money on a bigger tractor. Most cheaper smaller JD riding mowers are horrible with their plastic hoods and paint that flies off just looking at it.

    Taryl - John Deere Horicon (JDH) is the one responsible for the exhaust manifold studs being too long, not Kawasaki. JDH could specify a shorter length stud, but that would probably incur an up charge to change from their standard-length stud for this application. Kawasaki rightly deserves criticism for their overuse of plastic components in/on their engines. Kawasaki has a demonstrated history that they do not know how to properly project durability of parts - which is extremely critical for polymeric and composite parts.

      Why is Kawasaki to blame for this F**KUP. JD CEOs and the "bean counters" DEMAND that Kawasaki make the engine as CHEAPLY as possible. Btw, did you notice where the engine was assembled.........good old USA. Those "AMERICAN" JD workers should have seen that there would be serviceability issues and changed those studs, but upper management thought "F**K" serviceability, WE NEED TO MAKE MONEY!

    Taryl, I love your videos and have learned so much down through the years. After seeing you struggling and bending down to see what you are working on, may I make a suggestion that will help alleviate that? Install a cheap electric hoist from Harbor Freight and lift the front of the mowers up to a working level. I had a shop for 22 years until my hands would not work anymore and the last 6 years using the hoist were the easiest years of working on them. I wish I had invested in the hoist from the get go. Lift the front or back end to nearly a vertical position if necessary and it will eliminate the crawling on the ground. Keep up the good videos and best of luck in the future. Carry on Master of Mechanics.

    I'm facing the same issue with a FR730v and was curious to see if you had a magical fix for them. Turns out, you did EXACTLYwhat I am planning on doing. now, a few tips I have learned. First, it takes less time to take the engine out than it does to remove all the crap they put around it. Second, the older I get, the less time I want to spend bent over. Putting it on a bench just makes it easier on my body. Third, contrary to popular belief, you CAN straighten the push rods and re-use them successfully. Now, for the bad news for you. The piece you tossed aside needs to be in there. It is the valve seal that keeps the oil from running down the stem. Since you added more play to the stem, you are REALLY going to want that back in there. I've been doing small engines for over fifty years and have seen it all. Thanks for confirming my thought process on this one.

    When I worked at the Ford house the parts mgr. Decided he was going to replace me without my knowledge. His cousin showed up one day with a 5 gallon bucket of tools. I had been troubleshooting electronic systems for years and was replaced by a mechanic in a bucket. He lasted 2 months. They tried to rehire me and I told them to pound sand.

      I NEVER WATCH COMMERCIALS. I got windscribe in the extensions and it stops even the RUclips one at the beginning. Windscribe is a VPN and everything blocker and it works wonders without throwing up the annoying boxes trying to sell you something or telling you have a message. It is simple start and forget. It even blocks ad sense ad's you get on the side of the website that fill in the gaps.

    My hired man and I were taking a break this past Saturday from baling hay in the heat when this very subject came up: JDs are now almost impossible to repair. He was trying to fix a neighbor's mower (all the small engine shops in this area have closed) and found a grease fitting behind a welded plate. He removed the plate with a zip wheel and now you can grease that joint. What a mess.

    Great video as it is unvarnished, straight forward showing that sometimes we need to make adjustments to our initial plan as we find some obstacles like access space or plastic parts that become brittle and break. Keep the unvarnished video's coming as we learn more from actual repairs even more so than highly polished stuff that people don't learn the intricacies of repairing small engine machines.

    I have a VFD on my press drill, one day someone (my dad) dropped the brushcutter against it, ripping off the cover, he put the broken cover back in place and of course he didn't tell me anything, when I went to use it the next time when I plugged it in it banged and released a good amount of magic smoke. Turns out the 3 tooth brush knife had punched a corner of one of the filter electrolytic capacitors causing a short circuit that trashed an almost new VFD 😓Replacing the capacitor would have taken me less than an hour and the replacement was about €7
    That VFD is now being sold second-hand on eBay for €900, which is 150% of what it cost new before the pandemic, luckily at the time I had bought two NOS/surplus units for €150 each, thinking of using the second one for another project. Also now I installed it inside a metal cabinet, 1.5 mm thick steel (about 1/16") from an old alarm switchboard that I found in the junkyard.

      One of the reasons I hate to see a Deere come into the shop. They definitely don’t design things with the service guys in mind. Unfortunately I see more Deere than anything else….. But then MTD isn’t much better. They put the nut for one of the drive belt idlers underneath the footrest/fender pan so that it takes twice as long to change the idler than it should, because you have to remove the seat and fenders to get to the nut. Anymore, I just weld the nut in place, the way the factory should have done it.

    I know it seems like a lot of extra work but it takes about 15 minutes(or less) to pull that engine and makes it much easier to work on, also if not for a failed cooling fan or another self-inflicted issue the heads would never fail. the most common issues we have had with them are the coils, intake gaskets, and sticking choke shaft. they are a pretty good mower overall. I do have to agree that deere quality is not what it used to be.
