Hey I just want to thank you! Inherited my dads 60” raptor sd after loosing him! I have never worked on a mower like this before but with your video playing and following you step by step I had a new belt on and was mowing again in about 15 minutes! HUGE thank you for saving me some good money and a trip to the repair shop!!!!! 🤗🙏👍💰

Hey Individualized Repair. Great video as always mate. Hey whats that little do hickey thingy mo bob thats just behind the air filter. After u take the air filter off there's a little orange kinda holding up a little small thin piece. Im just wondering whaþ its for mate it goes in between the 2 10 mm nuts

Great video as always. Love your Channel

I just had my Drive Belt break after 370 Hrs. and found your video. My Broadmoor is similar, perhaps a bit newer though. Thanks for the detailed information. Much appreciated.

Can you explain the starter button issues?

My neighbor put his Cub Cadet snow blower away last winter without draining the carburetor. Just the other day he asked me If I could clean the carburetor. I told him yes and told him more than likely the idle jet is plugged. Sure enough, it was plugged, and it took one of my micro drills to open the jet up. What came out was a hard black substance no doubt caused by ethanol fuel. I shared with him to use non ethanol fuel which we have at a Speedway real close to us. I use non ethanol fuel and Sea Foam in all my OPE. Never have any carburetor issues. The Speedway carries 89 octane non ethanol fuel that seems to work really well in all my OPE. I've also used 92 octane none ethanol and my machines seem to cold start better using 89 octane. Small 4 cycle engines are relatively low compression and don't need higher octane made for higher compression engines. Enjoyed your very Indepth video. I am sure your videos are a great help to many seeking help with their OPE.

I know how to grease my front wheels. Does the rear wheels have to be greased?

That's called an impact screwdriver, and it really makes sense to know which way you want to go!

Great video, very clear and concise and helpful, all though discovered that when the key is moved into the start position the fuel solenoid will open, allowing the fuel bowl to fill,thus giving a enough fuel to start, but when you release the key to spring back to the run position the fuel solenoid will close stopping further fuel flow, "Dies After Starting". possible solutions: hot wire the solenoid so it stays open, or replacing ignition switch unless there is someway to repair the ignition switch?

why the tinted safety glasses, just curious lol

Why in the H E double toothpicks would you remove the muffler? All you have to do is lift the motor up and the pipes come out of the muffler. Muffler stays where it is! Also spread the governor clamp with a flat head screwdriver and it will come right off without prying. And by removing the top guard over the fan on top of the motor, the motor will sit flat on the bench, and you don't have to fight it from rolling over an you. One more thing. How can you work in a shop that dirty. If I ever go into a shop to get work done, and I walk into a shop that looks like that, I turn around and walk out. My opinion is if someone is to lazy to take the few minutes a day to clean, they are to lazy to do the job the right way. Not to mention when you put an engine back together you want a clean enviroment!

I have an EGO mower. Does really well, but the battery starts to go bad after a few years, now have two batteries and they slowly dwindle and only have so many charges on them. So really how good is it for the environment? Bunch -a- bullshit!. I am going to buy a new leftover Honda HRX for under a grand, and probably have that for the rest of time.

Hi Martin, I've been doing DIY projects for over twenty years. The main differences between a Pro and a DIYer are having the proper tools, supplies, and experience in using them. Having done this repair, the appropriate tool for crimping is a KLEIN TOOLS 3005CR Ratching Crimping Plyers. I would also use solder on the connection and spray it with CRC Battery Terminal Protector.

Edit out all the non essential stuff and you'll have an informative video.

Thanks for putting yourself out there and making this video, even though it was your first experience with a Ryan Lawnaire IV. Just what I needed to change out my drum! Much appreciated!

I had a power mower motor in my Troy-Bilt coil when and I didn't think it was worth putting the buying another coil I had an old Briggs & Stratton single cylinder does very well thank you for the video

I had a Toro was only 2 years old can I keep losing Spark a torn apart and the flywheel was loose so I tighten it twice and when I took it out to cut the grass the motor started knocking tore it apart turn the flywheel over I had a crack from one side of the flywheel to the other I won't buy a Toro again that was $500 I got a old Troy-Bilt my brother gave me Motors knocking and it still goes we live on the hill we got about an acre of grass the cut battery it won't work for us we would kill going up and down the hill awesome video thank you for the video

Are these engines ever able to be rebuilt anymore? I know it may be cost prohibitive to get a mechanic to rebuild one but would it be for yourself?(If it were your machine)

That grease is nothing more than what is called "Water Pump Grease."

Maybe you could put a scope down the spark plug hole and let us see what the cylinder looks like??

Any engine will be ruined when ran low on oil. 😊

What about the 2420 model? Seen one on sale on facebook. I have a 2 car garge with a 75 foot drive way tired of shoveling. But refuse to spend over 1k on a snow blower.

tired some eather.... maybe ill try this

Omg another video exact same symptoms exact Breaks n Scrapem engine so clear somebody makes tractor and puts Deere Husquvarna TroyBilt colors and logo likely others. As Deere owner I got a heartwarming love note about where it was (assembled) after shipped in from Mexico. What a f’n racket

To bad u couldn't save it for the kids.

At least you tried. Feel bad for the kids. That’s a junk engine in my opinion

Nice work

Carb main jet O rings are available under a Kawasaki part number and fits most all of that kind of jet inserts . I don't think Niki lists them without the jet . You can buy them by the bag full and just clean the jet and replace the O ring .

I had one of those before

How do you charge the customer when it turns out like that?

Would it be possible to use a Briggs, or Kohler rocker arm ?

If the rest of the mower is in good shape. I would go for a V twin engine. Would be an up grade in power, and probably durability. Just my opinion. Cheaper than a new mower, just an engine. If the rest of the mower is junk then by all means, go for a new, or another one.

It still amazes me that anyone can use an engine and not know enough to check the oil. I’ve checked oil level on every machine I’ve ever owned every single time before starting. This goes all the way back to my first mower, a Toro, when I was 12. I’m now 77.

I have one! Since 2020! Starting to run rough and backfires when I turn off. That’s new

We’ve all had hard lessons. Maybe not this type. Good of you to help. Friend gave me a self propelled push mower. Wanted to flip it. All the wheels have to be replaced. Cost more than what I can sell it for. Would you hold looking for wheels or scrap?

Can't win them all brother, good try though. 👍👍

Not necessarily on a Powermore, but I have also seen rocker stud pull out of head

If you own one 420 CC best to just order a rocker arm, they are really bad about cracking rocker but overall a good engine, if you keep it full of oil 😢😢😢

I really like the head gasket, nice improvement over America made material and style 😊😊😊

I’ve had 5 come in with the cracked rocker arm, think it’s weak material I keep several extra rockers now 😢

I got a deal on one and that’s what was wrong with it, rocket arm broke and stuck valve Pulled head and valve job, then service, was low on oil but not out Still running ok now 😮

Great job man.

Will it "pop" when it tried to turn over when push rods are broken?

You say no ethanol fuel and treat. What do you recommend to treat

Man ! Golden hands !

Mine is the same and engine wont turn if I set valves to 0.005. The only way to make it turn is to set exhaust to no clearance at all. But then engine starts shooting and is hard to start.

Hey Martin, I have a JD L111 with a new battery, solenoid, relay and starter. There's good continuity between all components. When I turn the key, the solenoid clicks and the starter tries to engage but can't turn the flywheel. There's 12.5v going to the solenoid but only 8v going to the starter's positive connection. Please advise;)

When I change speeds on my TB 30 it takes a couple minutes before it reaches full speed. I have replaced two of the three belts but still have an issue. Any thoughts?

If you don't take care of it, it don't matter what you buy. So many people never bother to maintain any of the equipment they buy, and always complain about everything, but leave out the fact they never maintained it.

I have the same tractor starts fine but when I engage the blades the blades start and then the tractor turns off you have any idea what it could be.
