Free John Deere Has a Bad Engine Noise? Can We Fix it?

[@TheVGphoto]

I’m interested in watching the whole process. You’re doing more than entertaining us, you’re educating us which is sooo much better!

[@lwwahlert]

What I've realized over the years of watching Mustie work - there is a brotherhood of like minded souls who all share the same values & visions. I would love to meet all of you. The shared appreciation of similarity & the loyalty to job(s) well done. Perseverance & definition to seeing a job completed well past the usual expectations. My hats off to Mustie & his legions of loyal followers. I think I know all of you.

[@paulcopeland9035]

Well, the one thing I have learned over the years, is that you have to drink coffee while watching the video and tell everyone you are doing it.

[@stevejette2329]

I just hate the throw away aspect of the culture. Dirty ash tray ? Just buy a new car !

[@ArmchairDeity]

And it’s all based on “right to repair”! We can’t fix much of anything without parts, diagrams, etc., and we can only get those if they sell them to the public. We are just lucky this isn’t a Deere farm tractor or there wouldn’t be anything to show! 😅

[@David-zy6qp]

😢😢😢🎉

[@juncusbufonius]

50 mins of Sunday heaven with Mustie1. Coffee, no distractions, just wrenching n' fixn'. That was brilliant. The irony was that it being hard to get was probably the thing that stopped it screwing up the engine.

[@twooldcampersandadog8169]

It's exactly how I feel!

[@dontblameme6328]

I think a fair amount of us understand how much extra work it is to make a video and for that reason we greatly appreciate your time, effort, and expertise. Thank you very much!

I love seeing the entire video also. It gets me motivated to go out to the garage and turn wrenches. It's interesting seeing others do the same types of repairs I've been doing for years. I learn some new information or technique each episode. Keep up the good work Mustie!

[@aserta]

I feel the same. I am technically inclined, but i have introduced a few "musties" into my routine. What can i say, guy knows his stuff, knows his stuff well.

A true detective, you refuse to leave any case unsolved! It’s always a pleasure watching you work and the thought processes that guide you through a project. They couldn’t pay you enough in a garage, I’m glad you’re solo and now have a a larger space to be creative in. Great learning experience every video! Thanks for sharing...✌🏼

[@johnwaddell4107]

You have more patience than any human alive! I would have flipped out after about 10 seconds of probing for that cap. Someone could have learned more unknown and unheard words obtained for drinking WWII veterans that had only been uttered in combat and bars before. Great job! The only other thing I have to say is better you than me. Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@uncledoglips]

It does me good to watch you work I learn more about patients and attitude. Where I would swear and get mad you just chuckle. You are so much fun to watch. Thank you !!

[@stevetilk4926]

uncledoglips it blows my mind that he never curses due to anger or frustration. Whenever something goes wrong, he chuckles and shrugs and works to overcome the challenge. I think that’s why i watch every last minute of each video. Mind you, I can’t do anything that Mustie does but I feel like I’m part of his crew.

[@hoosiertrailrider]

Finding a valve cap missing...golden. Retrieving it from the depths of a deeres bowels...(priceless)

[@japoofry]

Hats Off. The funny thing was when you were fruitling to the left after you got a visual, I caught myself moving my head to the righthand side of the pc screen, as I was trying to see past your hand. Respect for your presentation, your patience, and showing the real thing properly !

[@andrewkiwi1]

In the first year of my mechanics apprenticeship i was taking a the head of a series 2 jag and dropped a 5/16 bolt down the hole in the block/sump that the oil return or dipstick went into. I had to go out and buy myself a thin magnet. I stuck it down the hole and got it out on the first try. The head of the bolt just cleared the side of the hole and no more. The chance of it going down the hole was 1 in a 100. I got lucky that day. there have been times since that i haven't been that lucky and had to take things apart to insert something that didn't get put in. Here's another story. One of my work mates had bad habit of playing tricks on us . I had a transmission in pieces and had the little vitone balls that go into the valve body in the lid of a jar. He added one more and thought it was a great joke as i had to look in a manual to see where the balls went because i thought i'd only taken out 3. . He was putting a motor together a week later and had left the envelopes with the piston rings and wrist pin clips on his bench so i added an extra clip to the envelope after he had put the pistons and rods back in the motor. Then he tidied up before he put the head and sump on and found the clip in the envelope and pulled the pistons out again to check them cursing all the way. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

[@ahnbra]

LOL, That was a great story to read! You were only fallowing the Golden Rule: "Do On To Others As You Want Done On To You." Calling what you did revenge, Justice or even fare play all work for me. You just returned the favor that was owed to that coworker. I find it very funny and completely respectful thing for you to have done. Others may have a different point of view though. Thank you for sharing your stories.

I think you guys should stop playing snd just concentrate on work. A certain type of boss would fire someone over such childish idiocy..

[@wrenchinginthewoods]

It happens. I once lost a 11MM deep well socket down the crankcase vent hole on a Ford Explorer engine while trying to pull the oil pump drive... Thankfully, I was at a junkyard and I just bought another socket. I feel sorry for whoever bought that engine though...

Also picked up a Suzuki TS100 that I have a coil on order for. A coil! What have I become!!! I told my wife this is my mid-life crisis...fixing things.

Another Sunday, and another great Mustie1 video. I was raised on 60's and 70's Cub Cadets and have always been biased towards them (at least the IH models). This JD machine seems very well made. Looking forward to learning more about them as you go through this one.

[@robertheinkel6225]

I was a Cub Cadet repairman from 80 to 84. Those older Cubs were built tough, and the Kohler engines were bulletproof. I loved working on them. I fixed a few JD models and despised their design. It was like they over complicated everything. Fun fact, the rear ends in the Cub Cadets were the same ones used in the Cub Low Boys.

[@paulg444]

I have a Cub Cadet 169 as well as a John Deere 212 and a 316/Onan, comparable machines and I love them all but the wheel base of the John Deere 200 and 300 series are longer and that makes a difference. Also the JD 200 series and 300 series have 1in front spindles and a more substantial frame. I love them all and enjoy each one for different tasks but for me the bang for the buck in the JD200 series stands out. And the JD200 has that shock mounted engine cradle. Nothing quite like it.

[@arnaldofettuccine5227]

OMG finding that little piece, wow. Persistence paid off.

[@SkaterStimm]

I am shocked as well, I am blown away he found it without taking the engine out to begin with. I am also happy that it happened on both sides so he knew it was down there and not a bad valve adjustment in the past were the previous owner forgot to put it back..

[@davidhoward2237]

[@tolbaszy8067]

That was a plant! He found that little piece on the floor AFTER he pulled the engine! He wanted to take the motor out to paint the frame, so he planned the "missing part" segment for viewer interest. The guy is BRILLIANT!

[@F3Ibane]

I didn't expect this video to end with the engine sitting by itself on a workbench, but I'm kind of glad it did. Not for how much more work it is for you, but selfishly for this turning into a tractor disassembly, cleaning, repaint, repair, tune up, reassembly series. You're basically doing a restoration on this machine at this point, and it's awesome.

[@libertyauto]

Holy Cow! What a mess chasing down that valve cap. Plot twists on Mustie videos are great. At the end, I am all like, " no, no, don't stop!" But I get it. Thanks for posting.

[@judsonr1]

These videos are real-world. It's great to see the struggles of getting things out of where they don't belong. I don't watch your videos to see the end results, but to see the process getting there. Thanks Mustie1!

I really enjoy your channel and your videos Mustie. In a world of disposable goods and " I'll just buy a new one ", you sir are a rare practitioner of a dying art. Watching your videos has not only taken me from " it's scary and I don't think I can do it " to " well it's broken, worst thing that can happen is it's still broken ", plus you've saved me and probably countless others a pile of money by fixing old rather than buying new.

My brother got me hooked on your videos and I can't wait to watch them and talk to him about each new video. We both texted each other to be sure and watch the 318 video. I had one of those tractors for years and was doing exactly as you predicted. I was telling you where the wheel release, and hour meter were. I couldn't wait to see you change the oil because of that silly oil valve. My dad worked at a machine shop and milled up a stainless steel bar with a T notch cut into it that we used to open and close the valve. When I traded that tractor I showed it to the salesman and he was so impressed by the wrench he bought it from me. My dad was a true problem solver, much like you.

And my reply was. "I love his channel!". And the next comment from my brother was. "Yeah I have learned that 90% of all small engine problems are solved by a carb rebuild". to which I laughed and confirmed the same. Was just glad to see that he and I both follow you.

[@drbahb1]

Mustie, I had to laugh when you said "Well, that was easy!" after finally getting the valve cap out of the crank case. While you were probing with the magnet and screw driver through the front end, your light was in the way, so I kept tilting my head to the right to get a better view. Duh, it doesn't work that way when watching a video. The sad part is after I realized what I was doing, I caught myself doing it over and over.

Only way you could see it was via the screen and access was dire. Ended up putting a loop on the end of a length of wire, loading it with glue and, after several tries, managed to fiddle it down and onto the stick. Came out first try.

The valve seats will loosen over time as the engine heats and cools causing the caps on the valve stems to fall off, you will have to peen around the seats to fix the problem,then hand lap the valves,this is a common problem with the onan engines, on some higher hour engines you have to do this process every few years. Most people don't know this.

When I was a kid (now 70) an old farmer showed me a trick to achieve exactly what your attempting to do with the magnet. He used a long piece of thin flat steel, then after he got it into place he used an old speaker magnet, applied it to the end of the steel piece and removed the broken part. Worked like a charm allowing the steel to be placed exactly where he needed it w/o sticking to the engine block of other cast parts as your seemed to do.

Thanks for the opportunity to see how various brands are constructed and the differences between them. This video shows a higher end JD and little details like the weight of the “tin” as you lifted it as an indicator of quality.

I moved my phone around to get a better look when you were fishing, yeah that didn't work out for me at all. Very satisfying when it finally rolled out on the table.

[@4PeTe2]

you are our hero, we would not have that much patience and persistence. thanks for taking us along

I loved the disassembly to look after the small missing piece :)

He wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he had to leave it in there and order another valve hat.

Sure are married to it now! I had a missing bolt when I took my onan engine (very similar to yours) apart to replace the carb and change the oil. I found out where the bolt went when I started it up... I thought I forgot to add oil, but the oil was there. All the sudden i heard a pop while it was running and it cleared up and sounded great again. Pulled the head, and the head and piston were all beat up and had bolt thread impressions all over. Found a random piece of a bolt in the cylinder and I think the rest of it lives in the muffler now. I made the call to just send it. Seems like it's doing fine..? Time will tell. Thanks for having us in the shop, have a great week mustie and everyone

I like how we start out complaining about the inaccessible bolts on the exhaust bracket, next thing we know, dropping the oil pan. That escalated quickly.

Best laugh I’ve had in a long time! 😄 Been there. Tenacity was your friend. Edit: Of course it was at your expense. This makes part of why your channel has plenty of subscribers. Thanks.

[@danaskubic2145]

Wow, That's patience and perseverance. Looks like a Mustie restoration in the works.

[@WormdrivE66]

That was spectacular. I would have never been so persistent in finding that cap. Keep up the good work.

Damn sure didn't work with my monitor either!

"Remember where this goes......." your interaction with the camera (viewers) cracks me up every time. Another "quick fix" turning into a project, but gonna be well worth it in the end. Great job man, keep up the awesome vids!
