I wonder if you might have an answer to problem I’m having with a kohler 25 hp engine. Recently rebuilt. Idles seems to overrevv and the exhaust manifold gets red hot. Also has no power dies under load. Started it recently and blue smoke came out the exhaust when first started. Have checked everything compressions good different carbs valves are hydraulic working fine. No blow by. Baffling.

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Impossible to diagnose a issue without seeing it but it sounds like you may have a down cylinder. Could be spark, valves, head gasket etc.

Hey Brad! The JD D160 I bought with this property this past November (you helped me install and remove a Snow Blade I purchased separately for it!) is having issues climbing the inclines I have in the yard here. Yesterday was the first time I had a chance to use it for mowing grass instead of pushing snow. I wound up having to push up a VERY gentle incline and get it back on the driveway to drive into the garage, and that's where she sits now. It's a beat up beast with just over 300 hours on it. I am NOT mechanically inclined (your videos helped me immensely), so I don't know if what's wrong is easily fixable or not. Transmission slip? Drive Belt? Transmission fan blades busted? Is it worth fixing? MY QUESTION for you is, given my yard has inclines (I won't call them "hills"), should I move out of the S100 series from JD as a replacement, and instead pivot to a Husqvarna 48" Deck c/w Differential lock? I see the JD S160 doesn't offer this... I am loathe to leave my plow, but... I need a good mower that will hold up here (we have just 1.5 acres, but much of it is treed - so maybe 1 acre to mow). What are your thoughts? Pay someone to "fix" the D160, replace with a new S160, or move to Husqvarna 24hp with Locking Diff?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

I can’t say 100% what your yard looks like but it sounds like the John Deere S200 series would be the way to go or the John Deere X300 series would be a good pick. Not sure what transmissions in the Husqvarna 24 hp newer series tractors but I’m sure they’re comparable to the John Deere. The S200 and the X 300 series have the better transmissions. I do not have any videos on installing or uninstalling snowplows because I don’t recommend it at all unless you have a higher end machine. You most likely have a bad transmission, but the first thing I would check is install a new transmission drive belt and see how it feels. You may have stretched the drive belt and need a new one.

[@reimundkrohn8938]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines thanks! Sorry, it was removal and reinstall of my deck in order for me to install my snow plow! I watched a lot of videos, but it was yours that got me through that. :)

i need to know how to change a spark plug on the YTH18542 husqvarna

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

At the 25:35 mark on this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/gH_NkICIma1maac. if you have a single cylinder briggs and stratton engine should help you change your spark plug.

[@walterhutzell-zw9rb]

I could use a good mower

[@ZackCrain]

Relaced my belt on my yth22v46 and now when I disengage/re-engaging the belt falls off now after riding a little bit. I've taken everything off and checked everything and it looks good/normal. Any ideas?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Impossible to diagnose without seeing your machine, but I can say If you use an aftermarket belt, it may be too long? Or it sounds like something else may be going on like a bent pulley or a belt guide that is not properly adjusted. Normally belts do not pop off when in use unless you have something else wrong. If your belt is falling off when you disengage the belt and engaged the belt, then you definitely have a guide that is not working properly or one that is missing.

[@ZackCrain]

@@JohnsonsSmallEngines maybe I'll order a second belt to see if the one I got is somehow longer, cuz everything else looks fine. thank you

I can't find a video for husqvarna hydrostatic oil check and oil type !!!!!!!!!-------Ernest E. Johnson

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

Depending on your model of the transmission, most are non serviceable unless you take it out of your machine. I’m sure you’ll find videos on that.

[@robertaltmeyer2648]

Hi Brad, What is the oil drain part number?

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

It’s in the description below the video

[@Squad-pl7oo]

Hey Brad I'm Brendon I don't know why Husqvarna only put 1 adjuster on their decks it's crazy they should put 2 adjuster hangers so the deck will be happy

[@JohnsonsSmallEngines]

100% agree!
