great video, But im wondering, How do you remove the throttle cable from the carburetor? I dont want to break something, I cant remove my carburetor since this cable is attached to carburetor to the handle.
@jasonwesbrock8735Күн бұрын
@@AlexA-dp6kh on these old ones, it’s actually a solid rod from the throttle control on the left handlebar to the bell crank on the carb. There’s a hex head screw that you have to loosen on the carb to disconnect it.

I love these old 300 series john deeres. Ive got a 1978 john deere 316k and I recently picked up a Kabota TG1860 diesel mower a little 3 cylinder diesel engine in it. I want to someday stick it into a 300 series and make my own super diesel garden tractor.

@jasonwesbrock8735 I think it is a fun idea. I repowered my Case 222 garden tractor that's my main snow plow and working tractor. My John Deere 316K is my dedicated mowing machine. I brought it back from the dead a year ago and I love using that old machine. I'll definitely be keeping it long term. I love your videos glad I found your page!

This chipper shredder looks like an Amerind Mackissic production. They've been selling them as stand-alone self powered machines and tractor implementation for several decades.

The answer to the question you posed at about 16:18 is probably yes, there is something that is supposed to go there. I looked at my machine and there is a steel bracket that attaches to the top of the "flat" plate, the bottom of the carburetor, and the bottom of the air intake tube. Yours has that support at about the 2:15 mark. I couldn't tell if it was there at about 16-17... it wasn't there at about 19.

I’ve got a machine like that… last spring someone put it out to the curb with a “free” sign on it. It started right up! It needed some maintenance-new plug, sharpened the chipper knife, new R-clips for the guard pins, new belt, greased the shaft, changed the oil, and installed the chip guards correctly. It worked fine for 10-12 hours and then the clutch gave up the ghost-worn out. I ordered a new one and am awaiting delivery. With that I’ll have $100-110 in it…
