John Deere 445 Valve adjust, Compression test, Leak down test

[@laynademoss]

Thanks for the video. I’m in the same boat. Mine tested 120. Blowing lots of oil in the air filter.

Glad it can help. Definitely check those valve gaps and do a leakdown.

Excellent video, thank you!

Great video. My 445 idles too high and sometimes after mowing sticks at full throttle. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@dougdoesstuff24]

did you try lubricating the pivot points? Maybe it is just sticky?

[@rubinbrown8142]

this is a four stroke engine , why do you adjust both intake and exhaust valves on the same stroke?

[@dougdoesstuff24]

I did not adjust on the same stroke. Sorry if that didn't come across in the video.

[@nikolutsbrihada6]

Tottaly off topic, but did you replace your engine mounts or these original? Mine looks different

[@dougdoesstuff24]

I didn't, can't say if previous owner did or not

Rings are probably shot
