Good job! I could've used that rig and made getting a deer out of the woods a whole lot easier! You'll really appreciate having it the first time you use it! Thanks brother

[@TheHomePros6221]

Thanks 👍 I actually just used it the day after posting this video to haul a 230lb 10 point out the woods!!😮 it made it a breeze

Love Kawasaki engines! My first John Deere had one I did all the maintenance till I sold it after 20yrs still running fantastic! You do awesome work, I would love to own this very cool ❤

[@TheHomePros6221]

That’s awesome!!

[@Sauerbrew777]

What a cool little rig! The fella that owned it before you wasn't going to let anything stop them from getting out and enjoying life. It's going to make a great work vehicle for your property.

[@TheHomePros6221]

You got that rite

[@notajp]

I believe you will find that coolant line going to that carb is not to keep it cool, it is actually there to warm the carb for better fuel vaporization during cool weather. I use Simple Green HD in my ultrasonic cleaner. Never had a problem with discoloration of any carbs. The zinc content is what causes the discoloration. The FD620 is a great engine. I have two of them. One in my 425 Deere, and the other I put on my Grasshopper. I rebuilt the one in my 425 after I got it. The engine was so worn that I had to have it bored oversize, replace the crank, and even change the carb body out because the throttle shaft was worn so bad. You could push the pistons side to side nearly 1/32”. But the engine still ran fine, was just pushing oil out past the crank seals due to excessive blowby. Tough little motors!

[@TheHomePros6221]

yes you are comepletey correct about the coolant line! I actually have 4 things rite now with fd620 engines I have this and a 425,445 and a jd gator, I like these engines they are simple to work on and reliable!

[@Fritzie73]

I also owned a Steiner it was the 3 wheel, steer in the rear 60in deck with a roller attached. I mowed acres that started out terrible bumps ended beautiful and smooth, I LOVED it cried 😢😢when I sold it due to a life changing illness.

[@sssrp80]

Awesome job. I can just picture some old boy who's got a life time of building things piecing that thing together. I'm sure he was a hard working man who wore out his body and needed the crane and winches to help him still be ble to enjoy the things he wanted to do. Great to bring it back into working order.

[@DoRC]

Just FYI the coolant that goes through carburetors or through manifold is actually designed to heat them not cool them. The evaporation of fuel creates a significant cooling effect and sometimes coolant is run through to prevent condensation and even potentially ice from forming

[@TheHomePros6221]

yes sir you are absolutely correct👍👍

Great Video. Comparing you videos to diesel creek isn't a fair comparison. Matt is located in the heart of what at one time the steel and manufacturing capitol of the United States. The opportunities that afforded him is great. Think about having US Steel headquarters a few miles away. Most importantly, you're two different people. You have a different presentation style than him. I can relax and watch you videos. Keep up the good work!

Kawasaki should offer those mods as factory options. They're well thought out, especially the crane. Also, there's something wrong with the audio channel, possibly the mic or low battery. There's a lot of IM distortion on high frequencies and impulse sounds. Very annoying/disconcerting. Consider using a professional on-body wireless mic.
