All sorry I see Y your mower looks the way it does you're channel name fits the mower

[@lesterburritt2038]

That 455 has 2 O rings in there. The 1st one is easy the 2nd is a pain and was my issue on my 425

[@benkanobe7500]

Is it a Series I or a Series II motor? I purchased mine new and I stive have the Series I running strong! (I'm 65 years old)

[@Georgiagreen317]

I still have a 317 with one of those hated Series One engines. Runs like a watch.

[@davidsmathers5621]

Maintnuse hell Y you try cleaning it damn

[@camsteger2747]

Does that 317 have the series 2 kohler?

[@tightwadproductions961]

I think so, because it's never had any oiling issues like most of them.

[@camsteger2747]

@@tightwadproductions961 how many hours does it have?

[@tightwadproductions961]

I'll have to check. It was already well used when I got it 15 years ago lol

[@Goatguy2021]

What’s the tool called that you use to chip the rest off

[@tightwadproductions961]

It is a needle scaler. They are the best tool I've found for knocking off heavy rust and scale. Mine is an Ingersoll Rand.

[@Goatguy2021]

@@tightwadproductions961 what’s the pound rating on on yours do you recommend different types of pounds lol

[@tightwadproductions961]

I am not sure the lb rating, I run it on 90 psi. My little air compressor doesn't push it to it's full potential. It is an IR 125. I highly recommend it.
