[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Bruce good job

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Hank

[@not2fast4u2c]

All your tractors are in such good original shape

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Jim. I work on it. I did cheat on the 3 blades after this video as the John Deere ones are 320 bucks. The new ones fit and cut great.

[@garyclifton2180]

Pleasure watching Bruce

[@BrucesShop]

Well thanks Gary

[@liljoeii6091]

Thank you for the video.

[@BrucesShop]

You're welcome

[@waynestefinashen239]

And i am sure Claus enjoyed all the spillage too, nice job on the service and the mop up buddy! Good move on the antifreeze cleanup very toxic stuff especially to any animals as you pointed out!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks 👍

[@HobbyMotorDK]

Thanks Bruce - I enjoyed this one. First time I've seen a Kawasaki coolant change

[@BrucesShop]

Glad you enjoyed it. I was thinking about yuo on ths one. Next time I will just use the main hose and dump the coolant from there. I don't think there is a thermostat.

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Pretty neat having a liquid cooled mower engine. Kind of messy to get the coolant drained but I guess that's to be expected eh!! The engine sure sounds nice. The twin cylinders is a lot smoother than a single eh. My mower is a single cylinder Kohler and it's rough and noisy!! LOL Thanks for this vid Bruce. I am always impressed with how tidy you keep your shop. Someday mine will be cleaned up too!! LOL Take 'er easy!!!

[@BrucesShop]

Well we keep thiing the way it is, Thanks Grampie

[@gerrymcintosh4477]

Ha ha ha! Just like me; oil change and anti freeze change in 20 min., clean the garage floor 2 hrs. 👍💝🇨🇦

[@BrucesShop]

You really understand. Thanks for watching

[@Turningwrenches85]

nice service video of your john Deere lx178 a sweet tractor right there with the Kawaski liquid cool engine. it's hard not to make a mess doing Maintenace .

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks 👍 I think we all spill a bit of oil and gas.

[@corydriver7634]

I would love to have a conversation with the engineer that designed the drain spout location on small engines.

[@BrucesShop]

Me as well.

[@chrisssmallengines7163]

You are living proof that if you take care of your equipment it will last a life time . Yes I like doing it too , and all my stuff in older too . If you ask me we are saving money by not having to replace any expensive equipment . I like the sound of that .

[@BrucesShop]

Yes I agree. Our newest vehicle is 13 years old.

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

I don't think I have ever mopped my garage floor. Pressure cleaner baby! I can't talk though, yours usually looks better than mine 🙂

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks for joning in Bill

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

@BrucePender I think I was even first, I sat down at the computer, and it said 0 views, 1 minute old. 😁

[@larry3099]

That sure is a nice mower!!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Larry

[@larry3099]

@BrucePender You're welcome, Bruce.

[@davessmallenginerevival2847]

Hello Bruce. Oops, that was quite the oil spill eh. Some give me a hard time about using car quest oil filters, but with as many filters as I go through I got to go where I get them the cheapest.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Dave. Good to hear from you.

[@almclean4835]

Wouldn’t be a Bruce’s video if no fluids were spilt. Nice old tractor

[@BrucesShop]

You know it. LOL

[@clifforddeschaine6346]

Bruce ...I' ve used distilled water and baking soda to clean out a dead battery and then used distilled water and epsom salt and brought it back to life !huh 14 year old battery and it still works 😃

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks a lot for the info.

[@chrisblanton1087]

So dry in the Midwest doubt I use my mower for awhile.

[@BrucesShop]

That is too bad. We have been there too. The problem is when it is over you may have floods like us now.

[@rickbroerman9267]

Bruce I think that is the first time I've ever seen you make a mess 😮😮

[@BrucesShop]

Good one. I agree.

[@robertmailhos8159]

Dave the John Deere mower 😂

[@BrucesShop]

Yes I got it from a guy named Dave. LOL

[@robertmailhos8159]

[@ebfromwyoming4118]

Great job sir

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

Not a big fan of water cooled small engines but KAW’s can’t be killed! I’ve had them come in running fine with no oil on the dipstick!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Ken

[@_scaryberry]

Have you considered using an oil extractor? I really like mine.

[@BrucesShop]

Yes I hace one as well. I wanted to follow the book for this one. From now on I will use the extractor. Thanks a lot.
