Diagnose the issue….nope, just hey it doesn’t work…not helpful

Most of the time, you can dress the solenoid contacts and contact ring to allow current flow. If the windings are bad, you can replace just the solenoid

I’d check for hydro locked.

Itd suck to have 1 nipple longer than the other one 😂

Do you know where to get a coil and muffler for this machine?

Where do i get parts? I need the muffler and a new coil? Do you by chance have the part numbers or place that sells them?

What battery was it?

I believe you put the pto on upside down. I saw this in your previous video changing the drive belt.

Man this is a great walkthrough. I had to do this on my 170 a few years ago and the part that almost broke me was getting those damn handle grommets back in. The trick for me was to reach that zen-like “I no longer care if I break it” state and apply what I previously assumed would be lethal force to it. Been running like a champ ever since👍

Im going to look at a case 448. Anything I can look for in regards to the starter or other things that would indicate problems?

Maybe a partial disassembly will fix that with no further damage.

Where did you get the adapters? What were they called? I will be doing an engine swap on a Craftsman also, however I'll be using a Briggs.

The belt was turning and not the auger.

This happened to me one time. We had a bad storm. I went to blow the snow ending up having a newspaper clogged inside. Shear-pin broke but a mess to dislodge the paper. Who delivers papers during a snowstorm.

Maybe the leak is only due to a work bowl gasket?

Thanks for sharing your knowlege. I would like to propose a collaboration. PM me if you would like to work with us to help more novice DIY repairers and I can help you to reduce the repairing cost. Hopefully we can help more DIY repairers to know more skill of repairing.

Excellent ! Thanks for your help!

Out of focus.

Nice fix👍

Great video! Thanks for sharing

Good video, made the belt change easy.

That guano depositor didn’t want you to get a plasma cutter😉

I have same problem with push rods. Do you know the part numbers? Been looking for a while Thanks

Excellent video ……. am going thru the same high charging voltage issue on my 446 now. Can I ask what LED bulbs you used ……. and are you happy with them ?

Let's face it Engineers hate technicians

Very helpful thanks. Just equipped mine with those lights and works perfectly. Super bright 👍

Geez man talk a little bit more turn it to 6 Minute job into a 20-minute blah blah blah

A hard rubber or plastic mallet tapped counter clockwise on one of the clutch tangs (put the screw in) will almost always release the clutch. No need for expensive custom tools. It's also advised to put a light coat of transmission fluid on the engine shaft after polishing and before re-installing the ratchet clutch. There should also be a small felt pad inside the ratchet clutch at the end of the shaft. This pad should be oiled (ATF or light machine oil) . There is a small hole on the seal at the end of the ratchet clutch which allows you to add oil without disassembly.

Exactly what I needed to figure out tuning - thanks!

Pawls just went out on my old 80 series. Thanks, my dude. 🤜🏾🤛🏻

Nice tutorial. Thanks

nice.got a model like this.confident i can do a carb clean now

Helpful. (Though, I would have seized the opportunity to clean filthy agitator parts.)

I had the exact same tractor except I had the yellow deck, I got it on Market place for $50 the only reason I bought it was because the deck,body and rims were in excellent shape paint was so clean it also had a new battery and no rust anywhere, it did run but not very good. So I started in on it first thing was the motor the thing sit in a shed for almost 15 years I open it and of course there were allot on mouse nest but surprisingly no wire damage I will just list the parts I replaced. Stator (Not Charging), regulator, coil, plug, Starter and starter coil, starter switch, carburetor, brake pads, pto switch , 4 tires and tubes, blades. after all this and some cleaning the thing ran better than my new S160. All in all I had around $300 in it sold it on market place for $600 and had fun fixing it up.

Pain in the ass

Look at resistors # R143 and R144, they are likely burned out. Replace with new 3.3k .5w It's a very common problem on the Basslink's amp.

Very nice video - can you take the old red levers off? Or is it always a new one. Mine doesn't seem to want to budget quite yet. Tx.

Actually I think you’ll find WD-WD45 are old Allis Chalmers tractors

Oh boy ive been trying to get spark for 3 days, I have a new coil, condensor and points coming in the mail soon and I also have been using a drill to test for spark. I might be in the same boat lol I hope so at least thats an easy fix hahah

Geos don't use gaskets on the oil pan they used red rtv from the factory and a generous amount of it. That's why it's leaking on you throw the gasket out and problem solved

Your life will be much better if you remove the bar and chain first!

Great video thanks, what carb did you use, is it the one on the garbage can where you were working

The electric mowers are a lot better than these carburetor. My Green works very good

I just bought a 1991 automatic metro convertible today and on the way home my radiator started leaking. The guy told me the temp sensor is bad because it keeps showing it's overheating and as soon as you step off the gas the needle moves to the middle. Is it possible it was actually overheating i drove it over an hour like that? No steam coming from engine. It still had a lot of coolant.

do you have a video that shows removing the backrest from the bench section of the seat? that would help GREATLY

Very helpful, what is the exact name of this material? Thanks

That kid will be happy... good job!!!

Thanks for this video. It's so helpful. I just purchased a 1991 Pontiac. Firefly. And I need to do some work to it, and you just give me so much information. 🫡

Nice fix👍

It's a very informative blower repair video. Lots of outdoor power equipment repair video on your channel. Are you up for a collaboration? Hipa supplies parts for small engines and maybe we would work together to help more people in the community.
