[@olliesmowermart11]

Hey. Great video. Can you elaborate on how you made that hour meter bracket? I would like to do something similar to keep track of serving.

[@mikestarcher]

@@olliesmowermart11 all I did was get a piece the right size and cut it in half so it would fit over the steering shaft and then weld a flat piece to it and cut a hole in it. I'll make a short kind of explaining it

Mr Starcher if you don't mind I'd like to ask you a question. I've got a 216 that was gave to me. Has the original K341 K series Kohler engine. But I've had that thing right at a year now and done replaced the fuel pump twice. And I don't use it hardly any. My question is are them engines normally bad on fuel pumps or am I possibly doing something wrong? Old thing purrs like a kitten when its runs and I've never had to clean my points or anything. Knock on wood. Think you for any advice you can give me sir.

[@gregcrisp8743]

I think you need one more JD😀

[@mikestarcher]

I got one Thursday.

[@davidshipulski4532]

Jd 140 should hold 1.5 quarts engine. 5 quarts trans. I know how it is though. My Farmall take like 7 or 8 quarts when it claims to take 6

[@ThatMowerMan]

Where’d you get the fuel gauge for that 140? I need one for my 110.

What’s good motor oil to put into kholers?

[@mikestarcher]

I run straight 30 weight

[@mikestarcher]

@@daboyz1230 really whatever you want to run is fine. I just run the Traveller oil from TSC usually. Anything better than that is just better for it.

If your looking for a good oil drain pan I know a guy on KZbin who uses an old stove top pan the handle broke off. Cant remember his name but he has a 312 he saved from a parts yard

[@mikestarcher]

A cast iron pan?

[@deereguy1013]

@@mikestarcher no it was a stainless steel pan

[@gregwyatt1993]

For sale ???

[@mikestarcher]

It's been repainted now, I would sell it but it's not for sale. U are welcome to make an offer but it won't be cheap

[@evanperson5156]

You do know they make quart bottles for a reason, right? They don't make 5-gallon buckets for small lawn tractors like this. Also, put on some shoes," you are in a workshop, act like it."

[@mikestarcher]

Cheaper to buy 5-gallon buckets and don't tell me what to do

[@markgish1666]

I can't believe you filmed that oil change like that. You didn't follow the correct procedure by the book. Not very professional.

[@mikestarcher]

. I know what I'm doing the book is not always right
