Good evening from the USA! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! I really enjoy talking to people from across the world, I wouldn’t be to worried about it, it’s pretty easy to do. I’m not sure why they changed the design, I just know before I did mine I researched it and all the service manuals were showing the non American cars didn’t have that stupid mount in the way. The plus side is yours should be super easy compared to mine lol. 😂 if I ever work on this car again I for sure will! I was gonna do a transmission on it but the owner couldn’t afford it so we’ll see if I ever get to it again lol. Have a wonderful day or night!

@@T-MillProductions thanks again mate! Keep up the good work. Your content is super easy to digest, haha I've found myself watching some of your videos on cars we can't even get here 🤣

You’re welcome my friend! I really appreciate that! I try to make content that people enjoy watching lol. Some day I wanna go to Australia and see all the wildlife that we don’t have up here. Your country looks beautiful!

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!

I couldn’t agree more! My 93 has 4.10s and my 05 and 08 have 4.88s and my 95 and 96 have crappy 3.56s. Junk lol

I think you can but you would have to buy a lot of parts to make it work, rear differential, both rear axles, ptu, all the front brackets, driveshaft, and I think a few other things

Thanks

Thanks for watching

That’s what I’m saying! I got the car cheap from the kid who broke it and this whole car was so rigged it was terrible. The flywheel and pressure plate got so hot they were blue and orange and warped so bad I have to replace everything.

@@T-MillProductions 😂 oh the blue tells the story!

@robs93jdmaccord right lol

@@T-MillProductions he didn’t just scratch he said fuck that and held on like his life depended on it till it went in

So where I live rains almost everyday. Last week it was in the high 90s low 100s for a week straight and no rain and when I cut the grass it was still sopping wet from rain the previous week, I also have a river that runs thru my property so it’s wet here non stop. Even my truck gets stuck in the grass in the summer unless I’m in 4 wheel drive

@@T-MillProductions Okay thanks

You’re welcome!

I would man. I got lucky on this truck because it’s really not that rust at all so they all came apart pretty decent. My 96 is a rust bucket and those came out hard lol

Really? How much was it? And what did it include?

Thank you!

lol it was a chore at first, but now I had to do it again a few months ago and it came apart perfect lol

Yea she’s bad

You should have seen the pressure plate and the flywheel, I got it from a guy who owed me money and the flywheel was so warped and blue it was crazy. Idk what he was doing to this thing but it got messed up bad

You should do a tune to be on the safe side. And you must run 91 or 93 octane gasoline as well. It bumps the compression up a pretty good amount and you wanna make sure your engine is safe

That’s awesome man congratulations!

You’re welcome! I would highly recommend checking all the ground wires at the battery, both the strut towers, and the passanger side of the engine where 2 ground wires go to the cylinder heads. Clean those off really well and If that doesn’t work then replace your alternator but use an oem ford one! Lol learn from my mistakes

@@T-MillProductions How did you get the belt back on I’m still having a tough time

I route it around everything except the alternator and then pull back the tensioner and slide it over the alternator. If you can’t get it your self have someone hold the tensioner back while you put the belt on, if you don’t have a second person you can take and zip tie your ratchet back to hold tension on the tensioner or use a ratchet strap to hold it back

Thanks!

Thank you maam! You are very kind!

Thanks for the information!

They are discontinued from ford, I have found a few on google but an off brand. If you google the part number on the filter it comes up with a few off google

I think it will, that’s the exact same engine as this one and same year range. I’m not sure on the length but if you google the belt number in the video it will tell you

@@T-MillProductions thanks brother !

You’re welcome my friend! If you need any more help please don’t hesitate to ask

No kidding eh?? I’ll have to keep an eye on mine then. Did cub warranty it out for you?

@@T-MillProductions No luckily warranty covered it , they said it is manufacturers defect and it was on back order, they kept my mover for 7 weeks and cost was almost $1200.I hope urs doesn’t got out buddy .

One thing you can do before you change anything out is go to your local auto parts store and they can scan the air bag light for you for free. And at least give you a step in the right direction

I’m glad you chimed in with your experience, I went back to school buses because I couldn’t handle coaches anymore and all of it sucks. I wish I had been a divorce lawyer or something with computers. I always wondered if owing a shop would make things better but now I have my answer lol. Thanks for watching and I really appreciate your input!

@T-MillProductions I Enjoy Understanding The Functionality Of Things. If I Could Only Diagnose & Not Dick With Mechanical Repairs I Would But Having An Independent Shop I Have To Take It All In. That Being Said, I've Been Pondering Going To School For Psychology. I've Learned How Engines, Trans, Electrical Work & Enjoyed Learning So Maybe Learn How The Mind Works & Not Have A Bad Back & Busted Up Knees Forever Lol.

I like the way you think lol. I wanted to go to school to be a lawyer since now days everyone’s getting divorced I’d be rich lol.

@@T-MillProductions Bro, You'd Be Rolling In Benjamins 😂😂

That’s why I became a diesel tech lol, clearly I was 100 % wrong on that one lmao

Thank you!

I would take them all back out and check the ones that don’t have the metal spring inside, you have to have that for the coil to transfer spark to the spark plug. You can buy those seperate from any auto parts store and then just slide into the coil if you take the boost off you’ll see a spade connector it plugs into

It’s such a stupid design on these American cars. The ones in Australia and Europe don’t have this motor mount in the way. The engine leveler I am using is just to hold the engine in place while I remove the motor mount. It’s really not a hard job but just make sure you take your time and don’t rush thru it and make a mistake. I wire wheeled all the bolts when I got them out and antisiezed them all because they were pretty rusty. And I agree, the engineer who did this is an idiot!

@@T-MillProductions Thank you for the reply. Luckily this is a "desert car" (phoenix and Vegas) so there is no rust anywhere. Going to wait for cooler weather (110 degrees under a car isn't fun) but your video was wonderful. Thank you!

@davehigh6431 aw man you’re so lucky lol, all we have in WI is rust everywhere from all that salt and snow. Granted we don’t have that kind of heat either tho. Tomorrow is gonna be a high of 70 out and a low of 49 lol

Yea it was supposed to have a Kawasaki motor in it but when it arrived it had a Kohler motor. Which is fine , I like Kohler motors anyway and they’re build not far from my house so I’m okay with it lol

That’s a good tip. I will try that and see if it helps!

@True70woodsman When my Cub Cadet Ultima zt1 50 arrived, the rear tires were inflated to 22 psi. The max psi on the tire reads max 10psi. Why do they overinflate? The front tire says do not inflate to more than 36 psi. How do l determine the proper psi for the front tires? They're at 26 psi straight from Home depot. Just got my Cub Cadet 5 months ago.

I would just set them to the correct psi from the tire

@@T-MillProductions Thank you. l will increase the front tires to 36 and deflate the rear to 10.

You’re welcome! Hope that works for you my friend !

That’s awesome! These engines are great, this one was running but it leaked oil everywhere so I figured while I had it out lol

Ah so that’s what the differences are , I was wondering what the differences were between the 2. How do you like it so far? Thank you!

@@T-MillProductions just picked it up yesterday and can’t wait till grass grows so I can cut it. Definitely gonna b quicker to cut grass than the 1974 cub cadet that I have used the last 25 years.

Oh okay, well I’m real happy for you man! Let us know how she mows when you finally get to use her, dang a 1974? That’s an antique lol

@@T-MillProductions yes and it served me well until last week when she seized up! 😢

@brianbrink1421 aw sorry man that’s sucos

Dude I agree man, if you get time watch all my videos on the xc90 playlist, he had no business touching this thing. He messed up so much stuff i couldn’t believe it. I had to go thru and fix the whole car. But I agree with you, these v8s are the cat’s meow. I love this thing! That motor gets up and goes. I wanna find a clean 2014 with a v8 in it that I can keep for another 10 years. This one I hit a deer with it back in December and I slapped some parts on it to get it running again but nothing matched in color lol

I got the 1500 pound one from harbor freight , it works great and fits like a glove

Not sure lol

This is true lol

Congratulations! 🎈🍾🎊🎉 that’s so awesome! Hope you guys really enjoy it! It’s a wonderful machine. I will gladly make a video on cleaning it, as a matter of fact I have to cut my grass tonight so that will be a perfect opportunity. Thank you for watching and thank you for your nice comment!

You’re welcome! I’m still mad about getting ripped off lol

I have

I’m not sure, in the video it sounds worse than it did in person. I do know I’ve had issues with 7.3s that have a tapping sound and you can hear thru the intake snorkel usually it’s a valve train issue

Part 2 will be a transmission replacement. I have the car here I just have to start working on it

So does your pump not turn on? Or does it turn on but no fuel pressure?

Nice lol, my grass grows so fast I’m cutting every week

Dang man I’m sorry to hear that, tractor supply and Home Depot tried that with my and I specifically told them I want new in the crate because I don’t trust the kids they have working there to put it together properly

Thank you

I would love to meet the idiot that thought to not put one in here

I know, I was so happy to get this bad boy!!! Thanks man, I’m so excited to have this lol

Yeah it is nice

Thank you!

Mines been fine for years now. I’ve put on thousands of miles since I made this video with no problems at all. I’m not sure why others are having issues but mine has been perfectly fine.

@@T-MillProductions My pulley just seized up a couple minutes ago. Going to buy the belt right now. Hopefully the smog pump pulley isnt hard to get off

Dang man sorry to hear that!

@@T-MillProductions just finished installing the belt. Drove it around. Seems good, I dont know about when its wet out. But So far its holding. Nice not having that noisy smog pump chattering. Its running good with everything left there.

That’s good to hear man! I’m glad it worked out for you! Hope it gives you years of trouble free service

What’s going on friend?

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
