I'm using Permatex Red Thread locker, which takes approx. 24hrs to fully cure. Buy it here: amzn.to/3DfqIxI

Well son of a gun! How correct you are. Just did mine a few minutes ago. I never thought about checking it. Tomorrow I'll put new oil in it. A sincere Thank You.

Only additions I’d recommend 1) prop up drain side of machine to keep oil away from threads 2) brake clean or mek to those threads before applying locker. They sell a primer but I find degreaser works just as well.

Yea using ramps on the right side would definitely help keep oil away from the threads. This was more of less just a quick fix method for anyone who thought maybe they had to completely remove the pipe. I even notice the red thread locker they use on the new replacement pipes they sell isn't very good either.. that might be a video on its own lol thanks for watching!

Nice one, Jake! I would add, for folks who aren’t too familiar with “permanent” red threadlocker, most threadlockered fasteners can be easily undone with the application of heat. A hot air gun or propane torch softens them up enough to be removed.

Yes they definitely aren't "permanent" in that sense, but more so than the blue thread locker. Thanks for watching!

I find the 10w40 helps these older engines not consume as much, any little bit helps and it won't hurt the engine. Been using it for years. Thanks for watching!
@waynestefinashen239
@waynestefinashen239 Жыл бұрын
Yes the heat range of the 10w30 and 10w40 are very close and the extra viscosity of the 40 weight just helps on lubrication and less loss than the 30 wieght. Interestingly enough Kawasaki which is the premo engine in my opinion calls for 10w40

Great tip. I’ve pulled them all the way out and put Teflon tape on them in the past but this is much easier and less messy. 😁👍

Yea that works too, just have to use the yellow Teflon tape that's oil and gas resistant. But I notice that stuff, or even the blue thread locker comes loose over time.

Yea and that's fair, some have criticized me over my use of automotive detergent type oil instead of using a non detergent sae30 type oil but in my opinion I've found it best to just change the oil regularly and there won't be any issues. Thanks for watching!

Using automotive oil is no issue and even recommended by some engine manufacturers. Full synthetic oils delivering better heat resistance than conventional oils.

It works good, gel thread locker is the best but this stuff seeps into the block and seals them nicely. Ideally yes, you want to remove as much oil as possible, but I haven't had these come loose doing it like this.

George Here from New Brunswick Canada I bought a 26 HP craftsman ride on lawn mower from sears in 2011, my hydr static transmission leaks around where the leaver that you pull when you want to move the machine inside your shop witout starting it , I bought a gasket that fits over the lever next to the case in the transmission case but it did not stop the leak The transmission takes 20-50 motor oil/ I have checked I have not seen any of these mowers around,, I was wondering if you had any ideas to how I can fix my problem ,/ I am 75 years old , any help would be appreciated
@EliminatorPerformance
@EliminatorPerformance Жыл бұрын
Sorry George but we rarely work on transmissions here in Canada. You might have better luck taking it to a reputable small engine repair shop and having them diagnose it. You'll pay the price, but usually it's best to leave it to the professionals when it comes to the transmissions. They're just too expensive when things go wrong.

In my experience I haven't found it to be an issue doing it this way. A little bit of oil will definitely be on those threads, so as I (and others) have mentioned, tilting the mower a bit would definitely help. Thanks for watching!
