This video gives step by step the process of changing oil in a small engine.

Thanks for the information. I just spoke with Kaleb Norris that has a Predator 212cc on his Suburban. He said he can mow grass and do everything without any power issues. He stated it runs stronger than the original motor. I don't mow grass with mine, but do use my Dozer blade for pushing brushing and occasionally plow & cultivate with it. I just want to make sure I have enough power. I appreciate the info.

Good tips SL! Great channel and beautiful tractors you got there! Is that the Gardening Preachers old orange 68 you got? I loved his video series on that resto.

Thanks RooneysSears01. Yes that is the same tractor.

Hey bud I am doing this to my riding mower what pulley do I need to but

[@mschiffel1]

How well does this 301cc engine compare to the origional 12HP Tecumseh? I just got a new 420cc Predator for my Suburban, and have not installed it yet.

[@houston19871]

Is that the 10mm port hole where hose screw into block? Or 12mm

[@stevenmaines9114]

What color did u use to paint it

[@pl747]

So how much DOES it hold? THAT would be some useful information.

Ed how does this beauty mow and blow snow? Looking to do a repower

[@suburbanliving4258]

I put the snow blower on and we never got enough snow to use it. I have mowed with my 68 so i don't know. I have no regrets on the re-power.

[@connorvelthuis2221]

Did you do any sort of exhaust on the tractor or did you just leave it blowing out the front ?

[@suburbanliving4258]

I just left it as is, but i thought about doing it like I have on my 68. You can see it on some of my videos. Thanks for watching.

Any tips on changing the motor to a Predator 301cc on my Sears Suburban?

[@suburbanliving4258]

It is a very easy job but does take some skill to replace the clutch bracket. Some Suburbans had the clutch fracked on the bottom of the battery tray and those are very easy to change. Others need to have the bracket mounted on the tractor. The old Tecumseh engines had the bracket bolted to the rear of the engine. It you watch my video on the predator engine you may get some ideas. You may also check out a youtube channel gardeningpreacher he has many good videos on these tractors.

was wondering where i can get the oil drain hose at needing one for a 212 on a go kart please let me know really could use this vs pulling engine each time to change oil

[@suburbanliving4258]

Got mine on ebay.

[@manzanicol]

@@suburbanliving4258 can you give me the part number

[@elonmust7470]

That's not how you break an engine in.... The "particals" are what do the breaking in....
