Thanks for these videos. I recently bought a 1984 JD 318. It came with 2 decks, one with a lot of rust holes. I ordered new pulleys and cleaned up the better deck. I made a tool to install the bearings with about $20 of materials from Lowe’s Home Improvement. Used a set of 3/4 inch floor flanges and a 8 inch iron pipe threaded on both ends.

Hello have a john deer 212 oil coming out of breather do you work on these thanks

Well, I'm using this video to do my 1996 I bought new and now has, count them, 1764hrs on it and my gear JUST went!! Out of nowhere after cleaning her up!! Thank you for video! I got the service manual, but vids are so much nicer! Got the gasket kit, pushrods, steel geer and pistons/rings. Anything else you'd change while I'm in there with the hours?

My 316 ? also has a turn buckle for the hydro did the 316 and 318 both have this option ? You must make more parting that out.

What are the two hoses that goes into the fuel tank. One is fuel to the pump, is the other a return line or a fuel gauge. I just got a 316 with an onan 218G it only has one line at the tank and the other is pluged. If it has that motor is it a 318 ? Your vid is very good as you explane what your doing and the side info as you go. It's obvious you know what your doing inside and out. I havn't found anybody near me that knows what you do. Thanks for your time I'm subscibed.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🙏 ❤

Wow, in so many ways!

I found one for $400 obo, no start issue. Same problem only that I had to replace the fuel filter and drive pulley. THANKS for the tip‼️

Nice

You went from what a great tractor to ima scrap this out...wow

Is item number 285902459501 still available? Craftsman axle and spindle

How do i find your parts on ebay?

I just acquired a 1984 vintage 212 with the Kohler K301 motor. It came with 2 mowing decks the previous owner had. I’m working on getting at least 1 deck working, replacing bearings and pulleys. One deck has some rust holes I’ll need a welding shop to fix if I keep it. I really appreciate your videos! They are tremendously helpful as I figure this thing out!!

I wish I would have found your video before starting my bearing replacement. It would have saved me a lot of time and money. Great video!

Dud3 fix or gdt a different chair not complaining but dam thats gotta be annoying lol just saying lol

Hiw do i get hold of you

It hard to beat a flat head Briggs but kawasaki is good motor 2

What did you have to do to make this work? I have a gx345 and would love to put a 2 stage on it. I have never seen one of the blowers in person so not sure how hard it would be to make work. Thanks.

Where can I find brake pads that don't cost 140 bucks? Or any tips to make the pads work that still have some meat left on them

I'm looking for a complete wiring harness for a John Deere r72. You got one kicking around?

I learned there is so much crud built up on the shafts after years of use. Can't really see it. I run the shafts on a wire wheel of the grinder to remove that crud. Then the shafts will slide in fairly easy. Wire wheel should not damage those shafts they are hard metal.

@smallenginegarage my crappy plastic cam just went on me, what part number is this and where can I order it? Thanks brother.

Do you have "good" repair videos? Where you actually show the removal process of EVERYTHING bolt by bolt removal and replacement? Nost videis on youtube they talk it to drath and don't know how to put the camera on the job, no lights in dark places and when they run into a toygh.job if actually doing something, they show nothing and leave the viewer wondering HOW THEY DID IT!!! IF you want viewers, make GOOD VIDEOS, And remember, you are not acting in a movie, we don't need to hear you doing thr weather, the news the movies or discussing how you had to go to lunch or why your shirt got dirty or torn or how much beer you have to drink to work on a miwer! Just cut the camera off whenbyou have nothing to say and turn it back on when you are telling sonething we NEED TO KNOW ABOUT YHE JOB!! KZbin MECHANICS ARE JUST GETTING STUPID, NOT DOING THE JOB TO.HELP OTHERS KNOW HOW! which is the real point! Good luck!

Very informative. Thank you

Looking for a cam for a cam for a jd 14h Kawasaki

hate to disagree but you are wrong about all onan engines have points in that location i have a points onan engine in a case garden tractor and my points are lower on back of engine

U jammed metric bolts on the jackshaft. Predator uses SAE bolts.

Auction with good prices, the OEM carburetor looks good after it's repaired.

Question: What would u sale a hood for John Deere GX 345?

Very informative video and learn a lot from it. 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.

Yes the reg has a separate ground wire for it and must be connected to charge battery

This is a common problem with terminal when the battery is bad and system is overheating and overcharging This system is not built to charge up a bad battery folks 😮😮😮

I get a lot of mowers from JD dealership to fix because of the price and most importantly people don’t think they are mechanics just parts replacing 😢😢😢 I’m shocked at the price they tell them 😢😢😢

Dealership is a joke, it’s a place to get trained or a starting place for kids 😢😢😢

Can tell you have been a mechanic for a long long time 😮 Thanks and happy retirement someday 😊

Hey bro. Got any complete 345 hoods for sale?

please let me know where you are located and your hours. thanks

how fast does it go and what kind of carb

@26:50, 😖 maybe take a minute and clean the parts and housing before reassembly.🤔

I have .03 ohms on both AC terminals and no short to ground is .03 acceptable for this stator or should i try and find a replacement while j have it apart to fix a oil leak

O 😊

What engine and camshaft?

Someone get this man a new chair

Nice work

Definatly entertaining for a retired master mechanic like me lol

Is that a FD590v Kawasaki. I need heads for mine. I know this is a year old but I’m seriously looking for heads

Hey man. Another Canadian here. Amazing content. Subscribed.

i got 345 kawasaki. it has been standing for months. now can't start it. It idle, and only starts when i pour petrol into air intake. I removed the fuel pump, there was a bit of orangy color of water, cleaned it, flushed with petrol, installed back but still no change. Could it be carburetor? should i replace the fuel pump to new one? pls help :(

Would truly liked to have known what actually was the problem . Doesn't appear to be the bottom end . So far , still looks like a salvagable expensive high quality LC Kawasaki engine .

Having a hard time getting to go reverse. I have I John’s Deer 285
