[@kencraig7308]

I would say the beer is more American than that mower is Swedish 🤔

[@hectorcalderon3011]

Glad to have you back at it I hope you got a little chill in the back of your throat when that corona went down and I hope you acquire high levels of refreshment

[@elmermason9685]

Thanks again Steve. I don't have a Husqvarna mower but its good to know about ways to fix your equipment and save us some money. Stay warm buddy.

[@bigmanaj254]

Steve can I use this part number for the pulley for a craftsman or is it a different part as well for the belt

[@Chris-ln1wy]

Great videos Steve! Cheers from Ontario

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thanks 👍

[@johnw1178]

Steve, glad to see you back and hope you enjoyed some quality down time. After seeing the underside of the Husqvarna I wouldn’t run to buy one. Easy to service, but vulnerable to dust and debris. I would think some routine cleaning might prolong the life of the pulleys. I am not sure what they cost, but if I owned one I would keep a ready supply of them 😜

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

You and me both!

[@semco72057]

That is an easy fix and I will remember it if I get a mower like that one and have a similar problem. I thank you and believe so many others thank you also for all you do for our community.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Right on Sid! Thank You...

[@NHHalKnowsHow]

[@mjg263]

Great service tip! I had that same mower, really liked it but eventually sold it as it wasn’t getting used much. You’d think AYP would put some kind of grass shield over those pulleys and the belt to keep ‘em a little cleaner, eh?

[@johnhanson4795]

my brand new to me 2017 cub cadet snowblower would not start this year even with electric start and i thought about what you would do.so i pulled bottom bowl off carb it looked like tiny corn pieces in bowl gas had gone bad.cleaned bowl and checked main jet and cleaned new gas it fired up up in one pull!..thx

Hey Steve, would it be possible to show us how to replace a bent push mower shaft? Thanks

[@jcbecker2800]

Good to see you again.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Hey, thanks

[@rodolfoplasencia4953]

Great quick fix!!! Did you receive the suggestion I have you about considering 1-2 or 5 minutes or any time you can to do a brief review of the beer you're about to drink right before the content selected? Im looking forward to it! Another, do you have or, would you like to consider a video on general maintenance check up of our mowing equipments, like the mower, whether pushing ones or riding ones or and weed eaters? Thank you for your videos and considerations of our ideas!

[@Ron-ds2ob]

Welcome back Steve. Glad to see you only caught the Corona in the 12oz bottle.

[@alconyers2003]

Hey Steve. Quick question, I got a Ariens ikonx52. 3 spindles. It's skipping blades of grass in the middle and toward the opposite side of the discharge shoot. Could it be a bad spindle or the blades need to be changed to a high lift set? It has 15 hrs on it. Any help is greatly appreciated

[@daniellocke9534]

He's back!

[@D-train69]

I have this same mower an the 4 wheel drive works just fine but when I start it it's sputtering and gray oil is leaking out of the carburetor. Any advice will be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Awesome, thank you!

[@trentmccormick7813]

Got 2 riding lawnmowers, regardless neither will crank over fast enough to start after they've been sitting a few days. Neither has a compression release. Do I need a more powerful battery or could it just be the starters getting weak?

[@rpavlik1]

I avoid this problem by my push mower not being self propelled 😜 Went from a small yard to a riding mower yard, so I've still got a 20 inch little push mower. It's nice not fighting the self propelled system when turning, especially since I only do corners and edges with it now.

[@johnfriedmann2413]

Hope you have the opportunity to do some "ride-on" equipment vids. I have a new Ariens IKON 52" that is very good but I'm sure it will need adjustments and parts over time. Keep 'em coming.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Will do!

Thanks as always.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

[@airgunsfreedom700ssp3]

I have a two wheel drive with a similar underside and had problems with belts and pulleys. The problem of course is that everything is exposed. I eventually built a shield and its been years since I have had to reinstall a belt or replace a pulley.

[@Ninorc8]

Are the two other pulleys adjacent to the idler puller identical?

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

All 3 are the same part number

another great video steve!

[@repairs524]

I have a question for you Steve it would be more than appreciated if you could answer it you had a video back in 2018 showing lawnmower cap not venting right can this happen to a grass trimmer or if anyone can help me with that question

[@andreaselme4127]

Hey can you explain in a video what exactly happens when a lawn mower seizes in the compression stroke? I mean the Bad scenario when it'll stop but will chop your fingers off when you clear the branch from the cutter.

I have a Toro Recycler (AWD). The rear wheels never stop spinning, even with lever disengaged. I replaced belt and adjusted tension in wires--no success. Any suggestions?

[@tims.6155]

Hi Steve, wish u could show the best way to drain the oil from a Husqvarna riding lawn mower. I haven't found a good way to do it and the oil runs all up under underneath the motor.. the drain plug is way too short..

[@kencraig7308]

Next time you drain the oil add an extension. Check Amazon for your application, should be an easy to install extension.

[@StevesSmallEngineSaloon]

Thank You...

[@OutBackSmallEngine]

Now you would think the manufacture would have put a cover over those pulleys. Oh ya but then the mower would last twice as long.

[@user8ZAKC1X6KC]

I have that same mower. How the heck to you get the pulley off the transmission? On mine the nut and pulley are integral. I see no way to get the shaft to stop spinning.

[@chadrogers4635]

Hey Steve you for got to mention to go ahead and clean the grass and debri where the pully is and that if you want to help stop that from happening bolt some kind of metal plate where the pully area is to stop the grass from getting in there ( which is usually the culprit of causing that ) or clean the underside of the mower after each use.

[@Jim-ie6uf]

How about a video on replacing the belt? I know there is a spring on the back side that is a pain to install

[@dastock1]

Hey Steve,. Please advise people that watch your videos that anytime you have to go under deck to please remove the start plug wire from the plug to avoid any accidental engine starting. Any mower mechanic we know to do that. Please advise safety in your videos.

[@feez357]

Yep, since I have been drinking Corona regularly, I have developed immunity.

[@LunkerFishing]

Some people may not think of this but you should have made a point to show you removing the spark plug wire before putting your digits in the area of the blade. Good video though.

[@harveyroad6]

That design looks like a real money maker for constant service. Glad you explain it so well. One would think a cover would keep it clean in there. It almost looks like a fire hazard. Dry grass, seized pulleys mixed with a belt under tension. Store that sucker in the shed not the attached garage.

[@ronsilva516]

Hay I was watching you where very very very bad why because you did not put lemon in your beer!! lol 😂 😂😂😂😂🤣 but that was-quick and simple thanks .

[@bentullett6068]

Possibly a whole Corona job in the UK as no doubt we would have to remove a guard from underneath the mower due to a EU law making sure most moving parts are covered.
