Good video. Good details. I have a t 1400 Craftsman and I'm the process of changing my drive belt now. Unfortunately my old one broke completely so I'm having a hard time finding a diagram and instructions to adequately describe the problems I'm running into. You have pretty much the identical system and set up as mine. I guess I got lucky and took the right pulley off as I found that nut and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out where that nut goes because it definitely did not fit that bolt. That is crazy that they use a threaded nut as a spacer rather than just a smooth spacer. Thanks for the great video.

Unfortunately, you can't just put any V belt of the right length on those lawn tractors. They were designed to use the Kevlar reinforced V - belts which are far stronger than normal V belts. Not only that, some tractors have special V pulleys which are designed for use with wider V belts to give them more surface contact area, so that they can handle more power without breaking or wearing out in a couple of years from being overstressed. Just any V belt won't work in such special V pulleys. You must use the special wider, heavier Kevlar reinforced V belt designed for them. The tractor often has the part number of the belts on a label stuck to the inside of the hood. The new belt should have that number printed on it when you get it. As long as the belt has the correct part number printed on it, you can buy it wherever you can get it the cheapest. They are usually pretty expensive, but can last for many years, unless the mower is being used commercially, which they aren't really designed for.

@petespit9169 5 ай бұрын

@@billsimpson604 I learned that the OEM belt from MTD is needed. Even though the Amazon belt was the same part number it just caused issues as it didn’t “slip” enough and always wanted to go. This problem also wore out my brake pad but that was a quick $7 fix. Hopefully this OEM MTD belt will last 10 years like the original.

How do you for certain its the blower motor, my heat and ac wont blow, and when i turn it on that fan wont spin so im sure thats what it is

@petespit9169 5 ай бұрын

@@calebadair6016 it does sound like that’s the issue. When my blower motor went out is was winter, I could faintly feel heat coming through the front window defroster and I could smell the heat but just wasn’t getting airflow from the vents. If it was making noise while running before it stopped working that’s an indicator of the motor being the problem. Also if you remove the cabin air filter cover which I show in the video you can try to give the motor a spin while it’s on. If the bearings are corroded then they won’t be able to spin off the initial power on cycle and you may be able to help them by spinning the motor from the cabin air filter box. This would help confirm it’s the motor, but if it doesn’t start it still seems to be the issue. I’d suggest getting a new one and plugging it in to check, then if it is just finish the installation. I’m sure you can check voltage and other electrical things when trying to troubleshoot but the easy way is to plug in a new one.

This is a good and thorough guide on changing the coil-on-plugs. I just bought a 2000 LS-V8 and within a week the engine would begin to falter. The code from the OBDII showed the #4 spark plug/coil. I changed it and now it works okay, but all the other coils are original so I ordered the rest. Whoever worked on this engine did a sloppy job, so I have my work ahead of me but I think it is worth the challenge. Thanks again for this video on how to get to the rest of the plugs & coils.

I have to ask is there a filter that needs changing and is there a fuse for the blower? I been having issues with mine for a few months and it doesn't even seem to work but before I replace it I want to makes sure. Also can you give me an estimate price of a new one.

@petespit9169 11 ай бұрын

There is a cabin air filter but it shouldn’t cause the blower not to work. There is probably a fuse for the blower, I’m not certain where it is. FCP euro has some options for the blower, just check the website. I bought the cheap one from them, they have a good warranty.

Do you always replace both sides? Is the rear tail light the same process?

@petespit9169 Жыл бұрын

I always replace both sides. My thought is that the bulbs are technically meant to have the same life, so if they were put in at the same time it’s likely that the other side is also close to the end of its life. The rear taillights are accessible by opening the trunk and removing the trunk liner just behind the lights. It’s been a while since I did this one. All bulbs are on a rack, the rack can be pulled back, all bulbs are inserted into the rack and then the rack is reinserted. I don’t think there is a rear side marker on the car…it’s not with me right now so I can’t check.

I lift the vehicle with the jack under the rear differential. Then put the jack stands in front of the rear tire on either side. Look under the vehicle in front of the rear tire where the rocker panel ends. You should see a pad that is used as a jacking point. If you don’t have jack stands you can jack each side up using these jack points just in front of the rear tire, just have to complete everything on one side put the tire back on and go to the next side.

Good video, especially for one handed. Drain bolt needs a good tighten, the copper washer gets pressed a bit. The oil filter wrench, use the cap fitting one where possible. The strappy one exert a sideward force. Check the oil level only on a flat level surface. You can move your collection pan before tightening, no fun dropping tools in those 😂 Be very very careful with oil above belts. Not criticism, just bits for other car people.

I think I watched all of the videos on KZbin regarding removing the W204 blower motor before attempting it myself. None of the videos properly explain the pink/purple connector. It would make sense that the pink/purple connector needs to be pulled down towards the floor, but the connector actually needs to be pushed up towards the blower. You can do this by pressing a small tab in the middle of the pink/ purple connector.
