How to Fix a Starter || Otto Kilcher

[@kens.3729]

One of the Best things to happen in 2024 is to see and hear Otto Kilcher and the Members of the Kilcher Family on KZbin Channel. Thanks for the video, Otto.👍🙏

[@matthewvassoff5736]

Amen to that, Common sense is not common in the "lower48" (retardnation)

[@ellencarver5575]

I’m an elderly lady living in Scotland and I’m really enjoying your videos, I’m country girl brought up on a remote hill farm (beef and sheep) and like your self we had to repair anything that broke you take me back to when men and women were hardy and we just got on with what ever life through at us keep doing what you are doing 😊

[@jasonmorgan7939]

The world needs more Otto Kilcher's teaching us how to get through life's challenges.

[@Jeff-jg7jh]

Not changing the world or anything, just an old guy who was raised in a fairly cold atmosphere. Next, we nead a vid on how to put a PPP zipper back together. Good luck with that. Installed and test with a little blast. Yup.

[@dougtheviking6503]

Hey August thanks for sharing your dad with us again. Just something about that guy

[@JSGenesisDesigns]

using the bolt to find the place to tap the threads loose, genius love it. old school is new school.

[@bobbolieu9013]

Otto, the king of recycling and rebuilding. Over the years I have seen you fix more things than I can remember, most of them would have been thrown away by many other folks. But you Otto were taught how to keep things going long past their "time", to give them a fresh start.

[@MyClutteredGarage]

Nothing better than e-start, but it’s great to have the pull cord back up!

[@davidkost418]

Knowledge is the key! That’s why you should always watch closely and listen to your elders. They have the knowledge!

[@belindapoplin5439]

OTTO FOR PRESIDENT 💯 😊

[@glennwilck5459]

The fact you fixed the old one and didn't just buy a new one shows how capable and knowledgeable o.k. is! What a man to learn from.

[@adnacraigo6590]

Born in 1950 and grew up working on cars, motorcycles, and anything that broke. Enjoyed watching you for South Carolina.

[@HayesR.J.]

You don’t need a degree, just watch the Kilchers, and that’s all you need to get thru life! I’ve learned more from Otto and Eivin than anyone!

[@bobbynash282]

If anyone can repair it Otto can. Alabama loves this new channel. Thankfully you started this cause l was really upset, over the Discovery channel stupid decision. Then again maybe you get a lot more peace now that they are gone.

[@pamengland471]

I wa angry with them too. Ah but now we can watch Otto without their control.

[@sharonwalker2498]

I am so happy to see that the family has come back on even if it’s just on segments in KZbin. I really enjoyed the series and watch rerun after rerun. These little episodes seem to show more of the background and I really enjoyed that. I hope everybody stays safe, and God bless 1:45 1:45

[@dfuss2756]

I enjoy the daylights out of watching Otto work. I always learn something new! Thanks for sharing your time with us.

[@cabwaldo]

Even though its what I do everyday (6 years as a diesel mechanic in Maine), I never get tired of people that can fix 'anything' with 'nothing', making your own parts, and seeing how the do-ers have their shops set up.

[@robertguerrero8009]

Your OK OK! The MAN that can fix just about anything.

[@DustyBottomBoysAK]

Well, I guess it's "OK" now.... Skills + Knowledge + Experience = Success. Thanks for sharing, Otto. -Dusty

[@pamengland471]

Yeah your back. Mr. Fixit I enjoy watching you, your mind is Great. You can fix anything. GO OTTO!

[@doublejfarmshomestead4501]

So glad I found you. We’ve enjoyed seeing your family for years

[@tomscott3939]

the starter school of otto!!! keep up the good work!!

[@amodelman7]

Thank you Otto and the whole Kilcher family for everything you do on the homestead.

[@patriciaharkin1571]

Prof. Otto does it again! Great job.

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Hope the other machine starters were also easy repairs. 👍👍👍

[@scottlmartin4429]

you made me smarter today. Thank you

[@Scottmiller-d8d]

Love the homestead videos … watching u from Nova Scotia , Canada

[@seancue894]

Thanks Otto. Really enjoy you sharing your knowledge

[@StuartMoores]

A man of many talents and tricks😊😊👍👍👍

[@robertelliott5644]

Otto, I saw Finley on your son's channel. The last time I saw him he was a toddler and his sister was a baby. Now I find your channel and it's AWESOME. Always LEARN something from you. I'm glad you're on You Tube

[@PamW2009]

I absolutely LOVED watching you work on that starter! Brought back memories of my dad working on things. I chuckled a few times saying "Look at him on this! That's amazing!!" My husband even narrated some as he has done the same in the past. A dying skill set Otto. Don't ever change. You're OK Awesome!

[@antekknoll6568]

WISDOM ‼️ THANKS FOR SHARING 😂 OK??

[@charlessullivan1504]

Just subscribed so glad to see you otto and i seen that your son had a youtube channel too. Was watching outdoor boys and he had eiven and eve on there i was like holy moly !! Love you guys been a fan since the beginning!! So happy to see you guys again!!

[@mikeharcharik1057]

So happy I found your channel!! Glad to see you are doing ok!!

[@joanneganon7157]

Happy Memorial day weekend 🎉🇺🇲. Thanks Otto ,I learned this when I owned my 70 Nova Coupe👍 My older gent Machanic friend showed me how to change the brushes that were worn . You're the man with the tool know how💪 JOJOINVT💞!

[@BigBoxDodge2020]

Nice job. Master Tech. I've probably fixed over 10 to 12 starters over the years. It's always nice when they work again. August, are you keeping an eye on how this is going, so you can do it yourself someday?

[@DonaldKing23]

Love this channel , old Otto can fix most anything.

[@L46C3]

WoW! I haven't seen you in a long time! I still remember years ago, Otto saying (paraphrasing) "some men like a woman who great in the kitchen - Some men like women who are great in the bedroom. Otto liked the latter.

[@jayputters615]

They make awesome tools the extract broke off bolts these days I have them for stripped out bolts and screws and I have them to extract broken off bolts and screws and boy they are a life saver worth every penny spent

[@lindahorner6295]

So glad you are on You tube and Facebook. Hoping you can get your vehicle issues fixed ASAP. Your various vehicles are so important to the cattle drives to and from the head of the bay and other chores on the homestead. Best wishes to all the Kilcher family members.

[@ralphwatten2426]

My dad used to make a huge mess in his garage, in fact it was always a huge mess. He blamed me and my brother on it but it was his mess. One time I cleaned up the whole garage while he was at work. He had a conniption. He couldn't find stuff for months. I just put everything away. Moral of the story: never put anything away if you weren't the one who took it out. He was "angry".

[@josephmorgan3715]

HAH!! I did that once too! I found where he hid the "Kesslers" adult beverage! That's why he spent so much time "puttering around". I was sworn to secrecy and banished from that area.

[@invisibilianone6288]

When in another person's shop,, put the tools back where you found them, not where they might belong. The last person using the tool, will remember where they left it😁

[@keithjurena9319]

Keeping starter and alternator overhaul kits in stock is a must when you live remotely. Great job on this easy repair. I remember my father replacing the water pump on the truck when he took us to Boy Scout summer camp. The camp staff drove him into town to get a new pump.

[@robertking7232]

thank you Otto ,you just taught me how to repair the starter motor on my 4 wheeler ,which will save me money ! also i love the videos they are awesome entertainment ! ,thankyou again for your resiliance in recycling and using things that would be discarded, for many years i have watched Alaska the last frontier and have seen your self and family recyling anything and everything that is needed for the project on hand

[@bruceblakeley9907]

Keep em comin Otto!!! When you can make rebuilding a starter interesting and also entertaining…… there’s no doubt you’re a “gifted”man! It’s obvious you’ve passed that down! Everyday life with you folks can have a lesson or story to be told! Have appreciated greatly the sharing that you all have allowed us to see! Hopefully this “new” chapter Otto will be better than you ever dreamed! BLESSINGS❣️

[@1944chevytruck]

good job!

[@khbaker21]

Great video! Otto is amazing and so happy to see the Kilcher family on KZbin!

[@Motomom658]

[@James-yp5dn]

Great video on how to repair a starter 💯👍👍

[@edwardmiller6353]

Enjoyable video! Good job!

[@shirleyparent1873]

What a mind you have. Great job 💙✌️

[@dawnstraughen755]

Great tutorial! Thanks! We have a 4wheeler and its getting old like us. That seems like a repair we can do. I admire people who can figure stuff out like you. Not everyone has that gift. Thanks for sharing!

[@marlainarizona2100]

Hi Otto! So glad to find your channel, I have sure missed you all.

[@craigcook6082]

👍 Just like a neighbor showed me years ago. Fred is a good man.

[@kelliepineda9822]

you so remind me of an old boss I had in 1983-1987 his name was Fred but he was great at explaining things like u

[@jeanlawson9133]

7mm - 9/32 for future reference... Welcome Otto missed you guys 😎 Y'all brought me through a tough time in my life and didn't even know it... Thank you All... Scotty in Alabama.

[@mikemerritt1756]

[@drewa3597]

[@samsmith7150]

Great video Otto!!

[@katherineburden5416]

Great job Otto!

[@susanmills1654]

Nice work Otto!!🙌😃❤️

[@Slint4773]

Hey mate, used to watch you and your family on Alaska the last frontier. I just followed Ivan and Eve. This is a good way for us in Australia to keep up with your homestead living. Makes me want to move to Alaska.

[@3Cathill]

Otto Kilcher is OK!

[@DesertDave-r3t]

Good tip on getting the starter bolt to break loose. Ditto on the brush holder cleanup. Altogether a great video.

[@BrianDoherty-e8s]

OK, OK, good fix. I use anti seize on bolts that are hard to get out -- or so stuck they break. Then next time, as you know, they come out with no drama. Silver, nickle-based anti seize, is good to use where steel bolts go into aluminum. Nickle is less likely to cause corrosion than copper-based anti seize. You have to be a little more careful using anti seize as it lubricates the threads -- so on critical bolts that have torque specs reduce the torque spec by about a third so you don't strip out the aluminum threads. This stuff is a life saver around exhaust studs and exhaust pipe joints. And don't thin out anti seize with fuel or oil -- if you do the fuel or oil can carbonize and bind the threads on hot exhaust parts. Nice work, Hoss!

[@tomroskell1849]

glad ive re found you fools . realy great to see otto back to fixing stuff x

[@carrieashley6465]

Otto I was so glad to find you guys on KZbin it great hope keep watching you all on here

[@magidogg4228]

Otto has survival skills. Unfortunately most people won’t have a clue when the American dream becomes a nightmare. Otto will be warm and comfortable. Wake up America

[@donnacohee4951]

Excellent Video.

[@cryptoscalpers9603]

Hey Otto....glad I found your Utube Channel.......It would be great if you could do a vid telling your fans all about the whole Kilcher Family, including Atz and other siblings. Just to get us up to date on how everyone is going from your old show.

[@jujube6650]

I really am glad you are doing this channel. Teaching us all you know is such a great idea! I’m hooked and I hope you get a million subscribers.

[@justingibson-i1i]

The knowledge your son can learn from you he should take advantage of it

[@alysiachristensen5475]

I love how you teach and your knowledge base! Fantastic!!!

[@aconnelly9534]

Great to see you again Otto, miss the show

[@pamrakes474]

Great job. Thanks for showing us how a starter works

[@dontetzlaff7867]

Miss their show, was my favorite

[@JillTB3]

Otto you're amazing. I'm 75 have watched all your show videos 2 times. Now these. Should have dumped the camera crew a while back. 😊

[@Mark1gig564]

Helpful Otto starter as you mean to carry on

[@Popeyes66]

Good to see ya again Otto .

[@vandos11]

Otto can fix anything

[@leannesutter9429]

Thank you for a wonderful and educational video.

[@Grundy_nunley]

Yes sir another great video

[@jaykinersly5142]

Otto is the Alaska Macgyver

[@Stuckin330]

I worked on these for years . If I was in a bind I’d take the brushes in the starter and flip them and get a few more miles out the starter till I got the parts

[@polcat-om5ti]

Let's get the party started Otto your simply the best ❤wow after all the years off sending our 500cc 4wheelers to a Honda dealer. meee hubby could of simply just pulled them apart himself😮 emmmm, maybe not 😂😂😂 l think he's a beta dairy farmer, then a mechanic 😊

[@grahamberesford7438]

Hi Otto. Very educational!. Love it.

[@Adam_Poirier]

I hate when my four wheeler gets eaten by bears haha

[@rickharmon3513]

[@tomscott3939]

[@farmerk14]

Vice grip brand is the only locking pliers that really work though. Anything else is junk. Malco makes a good pair too.

[@gunslinger9560]

Awesome, ace Mackinac

[@butchhubbard6124]

Sweet!!!!

[@susansomersjohnson8748]

Great video

[@Carmen96029]

Incredible 🙌 We need more Otto Kilchers 🤩

[@matthewvassoff5736]

shockwaves from the tapping helps pulverize the corrosion, allowing the rotation. 😏

[@warrenvalentino5763]

Good Morning! this is Awesome!! i just subscribed to your channel and i also hit the bell thing too. i Love watching you on t.v. and now i can watch you on youtube. :) :)
