JOHN DEERE 318 P218 MOTOR WITH STARTER ISSUES START TO WORK ON IT PART 2

[@xcalibre222]

I would think a Torque wrench on those crankshaft bolts getting them to specs would get better results. Over torqueing is just as bad as under torqueing I would think.

[@billsmith1962]

I know, I saw him tightening those bearing caps I was like dam bro that's some backyard mechanic shit

[@williamreitinger8978]

Agreed 👍

[@williamreitinger8978]

The torque spec for rod bolts on a John Deere tractor is 55 ft lb plus 90 degrees

[@williamreitinger8978]

Steve helps us out all the time so I wanted to give him something back.

[@Fred-xo3ku]

Steve is very well versed in many trades: Mechanics, Welding, Plumbing, HVAC...👍

[@SuperAeonic]

Also willing to put money on him shredding anyone shit commenting him on a arm wrestle. He lifting engines from the waist :) Real tho this is why YT is cool to me, this slice of life stuff is awesome

[@victorbellan8357]

There are torque specks on those bolts for a reason ! Stretched bolts will eventually break!

[@queenstownkid]

shes a strong motor

[@craigdreisbach5956]

I have a 1987 JD318 bought new. It has the P218 engine. Currently has 1500 hours on it. Only problem is it burns oil, but otherwise perfect. I suspect worn valve guides/seals. Problem is Onan has been out of business for years and new parts are hard to come by. Main supplier is a bit of a curmudgeon and over charges for his parts. I will keep this til it dies and then convert over to new small engine warehouse motor. Sunstrand hydraulic pump is bulletproof. Kind Regards, Craig

[@the2060ish]

We have Sparkkkk..👍

[@richardreynolds9885]

I used that 77 adhesive for years dupont products are top notch, miss Molly on your video

[@joemattson8185]

Thank's Steve. I wasn't aware they went away from points in 87. I have an 87 318. I knew you have to pull the motor to change the starter but luckily I haven't had any issues. Thanks for the video and if you want to bring me a loader ill take it lol.

[@j.p.8304]

Nice bonus these John Deere videos. Thanks Steve.

[@DAS-Videos]

I love spray on contact cement but the nozzle getting clogged is always an issue. I clear it with carb spray after spraying the glue.

[@zackmax7184]

We used to have a Western Auto Brand Riding Lawn mower with Vari-drive. It had an 8 ho Brigs and Stration Engine. It was rope start, but it would out mow anything that We ever had, but when You got of of it, You're whole body would vibrate for about 2 hours. It turned the 2 blades really fast and that 8 h.p. would really kick with the rope start. My Dad nearly got his Fingers broken cranking it.

[@jimoakley3436]

We need to see a inventory of your J D mowers.

[@richn4804]

Cool another J D video , rock on 🤘

[@OutBoardTink62]

Steves making sure he doesnt have a few screws loose with the oil pan and rodbolts,LOLLL!..

[@walterbatman7949]

Great video Steve really enjoy those ole John Deere’s

[@fanofoldfans9238]

Whoa I could smell that 3M 77! Great project to watch here.

[@matkremzar5474]

stevie the 318 whisperer!!

[@matkremzar5474]

leak lock is my go to now my neighbor gave me some.

[@littlered1880]

Steve, correct me if I’m wrong those bolts are to be torqued to a certain torque spec ?. The oil filter only has to 3/4 of a turn after contact with body. I have done my John Deere lawn tractor oil filter like that for 35 years and never ever had a filter come loose.

[@markamcampbell5795]

does the starter solenoid project far enough to hit the bottom of the tractor?

[@donaldknobloch7243]

We have spock😅

[@JavierGalvan-s2f]

GREAT VIDEO STEVE!!!!! THANKS FOR SHARING 💥💯👍☝️👌🙌

[@markamcampbell5795]

good thing you are doing the contact cement outside so you don't get high from the fumes.

[@CommercialGasEngineerVideos]

Go on Steve

[@zackmax7184]

It just had a Forward and Reverse Gear and the varidive pedal.

[@rodneyskinner7741]

Hello Steve!

[@deanmachine7971]

Pretty sure I just saw this guy in the freezer aisle😎

[@ClickinChicken]

Re: oil drain plug tractor side. "Got outta that'. Use that expression.

[@markf350s]

hey Steve, how you been it's been a while. Yeah you're not gonna beat that 3M context man that's some good stuff right there. Do you know if you turn the nozzle on the top of the can you can get more or less spray spray it heavy or spray it light it is it's an adjustmentpiece of useless information anyway glad glad to see you're doing well. Thank you for the video. Look forward to the next one take care of yourself.

[@ricknolan1215]

I like would like to see you weld that cast aluminum I'm sure it's a very dirty cast.

[@zackmax7184]

At least the Starter Gear isn't Plastic like that Sears 11 H.P. Engine that gave so much trouble. It was a Brigs and Stration Engine but it had a Plastic Starter Gear.

[@patross6925]

That is ( Y ) THERE IS TORQUE speck s..

[@187rui]

Saddle Bag sally should be handling that motor

[@RetiredCanadian]

[@edwardr108]

Steve, love your videos, but don't care much for motors, are you on vacation?

[@edgionet1714]

Steve you are a smart son of a bitch and a diehard worker go miss molly

[@troyaldridge3853]

They are likely torqued to a certain number ...not everything g needs to be tightened to your specs bud they bearings need a certain amount of play or your gonna a seize.them together but what do I know just thinking outlook steve

[@FrenchBeefCDN]

True but fuck it, motor was going to be junk anyways. Better to tinker than to waste time watching tv on your time off. I’m guilty of wasting my free time

[@kentkirkpatrick7953]

​@FrenchBeefCDN There's a difference between tinkering and actually fixing things RIGHT... people like you destroy things and make it harder for the next guy.... your free time will cost you tine doing half ass work. Enjoy.
