You don't need a puller for the pulley it slids right off easily

Nice video.

good video, made it fast and easy, thanks

Good Call on the Anti-seize. Man I had fighting rusted bolts that could have been coated.

Mine arrived last week. I agree, not in too bad shape and not very oily. Did not need much to get it going. The included thread is no good - get bonded nylon thread instead. Clean up and sand smooth the bobbin case and shuttle, lubricate a little. Needed to drop the needle bar by 2mm to reliably catch the bobbin thread but it works after not too much messing around. Not a bad deal for a machine that needs to be fabricated for $30 to be sold retail for about $120.

Russ, what happened? No improvements?

I just acquired this old model for free. Still has the original Tecumseh 6 HP engine. I replaced the head gasket ,changed the oil and tinkered with the carb for a while. Well this baby now runs like new. Built like a brick outhouse.

I am so thankful for this video!! I do appreciate the fact that you are just winging it with what you’ve got already. I hope you have more Chevy spark videos I can watch. Because I much prefer to do the simple car work myself. 15 out of 10. Keep doing what your doing!

I'm thinking about repowering a chipper/shredder. That should be **easier** that this swap, so, thanks for the encouragement.

You still like the trailer? Is it holding up? And what is the width inside the trailer?

My oiler is not working, coming out of the hole slowly but none goes to the bar or chain. Do you have this problem?

Very good advise thanks

Good video!

Thank you for the video

Great looking chili Russ

Just so you know ironwalls is garbage I bought it and can’t even use it they have some explaining to do

Thanks

thanks alot

Good vid

Great job Russ on the video and general mechanical skills to explain it. As a 70 yr old that grew up in a lawnmower shop, let me share a few tidbits with you (1) I own a 1973 Troy Bilt Horse Model I ; Serial# 76613, that has original 6HP Tecumseh HH60 - 105080E Ser# 3309R that looks just like yours so I know a bit about them. (2) Several of your viewers mentioned disconnecting the "low-oil" warning wire. Allow me to mention a paragraph in both the original manual, and Edition 3 (1989) where they warn users about when tilling uphill, to pay close attention. On level ground tilling 10"deep, the bottom of engine can be 30° from horizontal or flat - and add another 15° of hill and now engine is tilted back at 45°-degree angle. The oil splasher on that engine was not designed to operate at that much of an extreme, so limit amount of time and make sure oil level is full. I don't suspect the Predator engine you used is designed for that either. It’s why newer 20-25hp lawn tractor now have a “pressurized” oiling system. (3) One gent was talking about not breaking ground - another offered good advice of taking 1-2” first pass or that machine will literally jump out of your hands. I wish there was a way to attach photos to this comment section.

Great video - precise and to the point. I'm having issues with my Try-Bilt and will probably need to swap out the engine too - thx

Beautifull ! Maybe a long and thin stick to clean the PV 's from the ground and a little ventilated shed for the generator ? Thanks for sharing . PS. Regards to the little girls and protect them well against M. Fox . Bye

Super professional

Hey Russ - Thanks for the video. I used it yesterday to guide me through repowering my Troy Bilt Horse with the same Predator engine. Job went well. And thanks to the other comments regarding the oil pressure cut off wiring, I was prepared when it happened to me during the test run. Thanks again for taking the time, much appreciated.

I have all 5 of the kobalt 80 volt tools, they work very well and last a long time , I am very happy with all of them

"What we have here" .... I thought he was going to say "a failure to communicate" a'la Cool Hand Luke.

I had to cut a bunch of balsa wood logs and the chain went dull after half an hour. even though the battery is out it's good to touch the blade to the ground to prevent capacative discharge

Please talk about the line feeding. Is it automatic, or how does that work?

Wow impressive, and my hat off to your wife as well.

What is happening? Can't find any KOBALT 80V Chain Saws for sale?

*This saw does exactly what I'd hoped The 9" size, 🌻 **allabout.wiki/DECKER** weight, & ease of use are right on for me. I decided to power up my gas chainsaw on a 20 yr old, 12" diam burford stump because I didn't want to overtax the 20V, but the 20V was perfect for cutting a bunch of 4" branches into firewood. That's what I wanted: an "easy" chainsaw for light duty (too big for a lopper) on my 1/2 acre woodsy property.*

*Excellent trimmer 🌱 **allabout.wiki/Kobalt-40** perfect for any size garden, reliable,. no issues with it. Only criticism is they should of designed it with a shoulder strap for easier use*

Now review the KOBALT 80v 5.0ah battery 18 in chainsaw.

What size bolts did you use? I just bought the same hitch and it didn't come with any. Alternatively, do you have the Yamaha part number?

Thanks for the review without music during the entire video. Everyone is obsessed with music which totally ruins the feel you get for the product. It’s nice to see the saw in the wild so to speak.

1:30 my dude lol. If all else fails then grab the instructions 👊😂

How long ,min. Did the saw cut?

My WH is set at about 135 degrees. I like the water to be pretty hot for sore muscles. Will this temperature setting damage my water heater? Trying to get the most life out of my WH and so far she has been good to me🤣

cool

Hello I just got a used 2014 yesterday to find out the mileage is 193000 should I take it back it make a lot of noise inside but quiet outside while driving

Good work Russ. Love the independant spirit !. We run off grid our cottage (home) and two rental villas on outback equipment and lithium storage too. Bit more sun down here in the U.S.V.I. but you sure have some nice woods up there. If you ever need a break from the snow shovelling, check us out at :joyoflifevilla.com. Keep up the good work and get yourself that extra 4000 watts.

we goes OFF GRID because ON GRID services are owned by demons!

Solid review! Thanks 🍺

VERY, VERY interesting. You have alot to keep you busy. I spend all my time watching these videos, lol.

In my opinion , If one is going to explain solar systems to people , I feel the first step would be to explain their usage and conversion . another words replacing the electric hot water heater with a propane hot water heater. And replace their electric 220 ac submersable well pump with a 48 volt dc pump . and so on . Most people build their solar systems a lot bigger than they need to ! With just a few changes , you end up only needing half the system. Just food for thought.

The manufacturer does not support stacking these SW units, also You would have better efficiency with a 48 volt system . I run Aims inverter/charger , In my opinion , there the best you can get, there the most dependable , there a low frequency inverter, And they have every option you could possibly need for any install . I wouldn't consider anything but a low frequency inverter , for obvious reasons.

Unless I'm missing something , that's not true at all ! I am completely off the grid and have had a secondary solar system for years. My system is made up of different brands . I took what I felt in my opinion was the best piece of equipment from each company and made my own system and its been working great for years now. So yes , you absolutely can use different brand names , you are not committed to just one when you start building a system. I don't know why , or what would make you say something like that .....

Thanks, very informative. The hot water heating by evacuated tubes, I was of the notion that current ideas favour pv electric water heating. I'm going that route, as it appears less complicated. I do know the evac tubes are about 95% efficient which is a great incentive.

were you buy it how much does it come with battrie and charger
