JOHN DEERE 318 / ONAN P218 - B48G INTAKE MANIFOLD REBUILD

[@revrotunda3206]

My Dad luved his John Deere riding lawn mower. Took many pictures with him on it & he’d ride the Grand-Children around. He had an acre & a half to maintain with a nice big red barn on the property. He thought in the long run that was cheaper than hiring someone but with his Italian mindset, he would have found fault with what they did anyway, lol. He enjoyed the outdoors & didn’t mind. He also had a huge garden & beautiful fruit trees. My beautiful Pa passed away at age 96 right before Thanksgiving. I’ll always cherish & fondly remember the days on the farm as he called it. My Son was even baptized inside the big red barn & we had a nice party on the grounds afterwards.

Thank you. 96 great old age!

Steve Lav has great skills! I love my John Deere L110 from 2006. Minor maintenance keeps it going.

I do my head gaskets and prep them by taping some sand paper to a sheet of glass, for a perfect flat surface and then work the head covers back and forth over that to sand it all flat and smooth. Paint them first, not heavy but covered and as you test sand it, it will show you the high and low spots. Then sand them until all the paint is gone and you’ll have perfectly flat faces to match up to the new seal. You could use this same process on those manifolds.

Hey, Steve, you need one of them. Ultrasonic cleaners that would clean them carburetors up like brand new.

Great job on KZbin videos 👍😎

[@MeiklesAndDimes]

Nice work in the shop

[@minibikemadman]

[@zachwilliams6833]

What size drill bit did you use to drill out the holes for the new stainless steel screws?

[@mikel2469]

When we get older, we Leak…😂🤣😂🤣

[@shanekauffman8649]

I was wondering if that stuff is sticky? 😂. Love you videos my friend. Keep em coming.

[@tonym6920]

Hey Steve and Miss Molly! Workin’ again ya’ll. 👍👍

[@JavierGalvan-s2f]

Another kick ass video Steve! Keep them videos coming 💥💯☝️👍👌🫵

[@timothyjerry1177]

So the needle valve you replaced didn’t cure the surging? Love the follow up on the manifold leak. It Makes sense, it’s causing the intake to starve. Awesome info, thank you Steve 👍🏼

[@Rotaris1]

Just did this on two manifolds. I threaded the bottom part

[@darrenskinner5928]

Nice job Steve been enjoying your JD videos good to have a few hobbies next level mama

[@ClickinChicken]

It's like that Spider Man movie 2002... "Back to formula....?" That was the Green Goblin. I've seen GREEN gasoline! Pumps me up to fix my Gibson/Gillson (Montgomery Wards Rotor tiller) when it gets warm to use pole barn. ha. You and Taryl Fixes all! In the mean time, lots of fun to watch! And encouraging!

[@iamnoone.]

Howdy Steve and Molly

[@fanofoldfans9238]

Steve your work bench looks like mine. Multiple projects scattered but can still find the parts.

[@birdfeeding]

Why not weld it together?

[@clydemcghee5631]

I'm pretty sure the cast iron manifolds on older CCK's and NH's fit.

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Working again YALL

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

That's good enough for this neighborhood yall😅😅😅

[@thomaseverly5354]

[@kellismith4329]

Dayum, there isn’t too many things around that you don’t fix

[@gordonjennings8553]

If you ever figure out how to use high speed bearing grease for everything, you'll save and be happier!

[@tomgroenbeck7620]

I guess for a John Deere the nilock nuts will hold up fine. On a modern engine in a modern car where the manifold may be close to the exhaust I would be afraid that heat destroys the nilock nuts and they eventually turn loose.

[@demetriosa7646]

Steve do you run ethanol free gas in your small engine equipment? I’ve started separating the ethanol out of my fuel here in Mass bc no one has it and it’s like ridiculously priced. It’s so easy to do. I’m done with that crap screwing up my snowblower and tractor. I use a 5 gallon Carboy to do it in batches!

[@stevenlavimoniere]

i am not sure how to remove it ??

[@demetriosa7646]

I’ll never run that crap anymore

[@demetriosa7646]

Hope this helps.

[@walterbatman7949]

Nothing runs like a Deere

[@joea7763]

Made in Japan ?

[@RobertKohut]

Interesting... :-)

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Never A Dull moment. Yall. It ain't Rocket science mama

[@davidparizek6741]

[@frankrizzo3915]

[@zackmax7184]

No Plumbing Videos for You and Miss Molly today?

[@WeatherNut27]

I could use your skills, my hydraulic pump is leaking on my log splitter.

[@zackmax7184]

Dad bought a Bolens riding lawn mower used with a 2 cylinder Onan engine several years ago. The Guy that He bought it from had Cancer and He got a Diesel Kabota Riding Lawn Mower, but He is Dead now. I don't know what happened to the Kabota riding lawn mower.

[@Lovinflyindrones2022]

Who ever designed that was A Dum Dum !! Yall

[@tedbell4416]

Rivets on it to purposely make you buy the whole new overpriced thing, deere is the worst.

[@davidparker9676]

Just a cheap die cast manifold with rivets to save a few pennies by not using bolts or a one-piece cast manifold. It is made by Onan, John Deere bought the engine from Onan.

[@ClickinChicken]

One things sure! This guy knows a lot about John Deere small tractor engines.

[@edwardr108]

Why so many tractor videos??, don't really care for them, because I can't relate, Love your other videos though!!

[@revrotunda3206]

Just because you don’t care for them doesn’t mean others aren’t interested. So don’t watch them & only watch the videos you love instead of asking a dumb question!

[@markpowell1031]

[@daviddailey9147]

Put a electric fuel pump on it pump on it is junk

[@daviddailey9147]
