There is no comparison your videos are the best, so informative. The level of detail that you go in really shows. Keep making videos there're great.

I'm a firm believer in applying penetrating oil to these types of rusted assemblies. If time allows, I'll let them sit, them smack 'em with a hammer later. I think rear tires are the worst, when they get rusted onto an axle. But Taryl has an excellent way to remove those with a pneumatic driver with a pointed bit. THANKS TARYL!

just got replacing seals in my troy-bilt tiller i use anti-seize on all my stuff...was about 7 years ago i replaced them an the shaft an gear,, came right off,,

[@JasonTylerRicci]

Yea, he uses his "acetaminophen torch" in that video. Lol

[@laynejohnson4289]

Rusted rims to hubs and axles are not Joke good thing with lawnmowers you can change the tires on the unit if needed 👍🏻 been there done that

[@Francois_Dupont]

@@laynejohnson4289 on a car if the wheels get stuck hit the inner par (below the car) with a sledge hammer. on even the worst case it get them out. i usually put a wooded log between to smash on.

[@laynejohnson4289]

Francois Dupont o ya cars are a different story they usually don’t seize on like lawnmower I’m a tire guy by trade anti seize is your best friend with everything but yes usually with a sledge you can break wheels loose if not I use my truck a rachtet strap leave some lugnuts on pull some tension then hit with a hammer if that doesn’t work then time to pull out the torch

I have watched all of your videos at least twice or more and when I saw the title of this new one I knew in advance you had already taught me this and there wasn't even any comedy element to it BUT I STILL WATCHED because I'm just inspired by your channel and all of your staff and every Sunday I can't wait for me some Mustie1 and then the master of all things lawn and garden equipment related Taryl Fixes All. Oh there are others some across the pond and up north drinking some good ale and beer. But as far as I'm concerned You are #1

Very nice tutorial Taryl. No machinery and garden engine can resist being repaired by you, excellent attitude. And to that we add your note of humor, I am laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 greetings from Spain

[@robertturner6249]

Taryl, you are one smart dude. I try to learn something new everyday and your channel is one of the first places I go to for educational needs.

[@palaliam]

I have used this method a lot but one engines e belonged to my uncle. It was a Kohler 12 hp I. A john Deere's garden tractor I put the prybar in place had pressure on the flywheel smacked it with a hammer like this guy and wala the end of the crank broke and fell off from that day forward I bought a flywheel tool and always used it if I had to remove a flywheel that little lesson cost me about 125 dollars for a new crankshaft for uncle's motor enough said a huge fail for me

Thats because Taryl you came from the world of broke kid years and years ago same here. Came from a world of figure it out or do without! The know it all's out there are guys thats done it a few times read one manual and now they are a expert ready to show the world their knowledge and tell you your doing it wrong and your here trying to help people out! Dont let their comments get to you Taryl. Lots people out here say wht they think not what they know. Think your fixing 100's a year and making a living and they are sitting on the couch with their keyboard tool kit lol

[@jeffvickers9390]

The same school i went to. "Figure it out or do without"

I went to the same school and also took a class in "don't have a tool ..so make one"

[@jeffvickers9390]

@@nathanthomas2155 With us it was "everything" is a tool. We swapped out a rear end in my buddy's 65 Impala with little more than a couple crescent wrenches. It was either get it done or no cruisin that weekend.

[@kajem575]

Yep. I grew up without the benefit of a shed or garage,learned about small engines in jr. high school (6th grade 11yrs. old) used to do complete teardowns on the front sidewalk of the house because of the solid, even,level surface, got my parts and tools at Western Auto store with paper route earnings (3 routes,morning edition,7 dys a week,evening 6 dys,,and one which was every wed. sat and sun.) from age 11 to 14 when I was eligible for work permit. My father ocassionally encouraged often bitched and rarely helped. (I have 5 bros. 3 older 2 younger we did everything ourselves.) And that is EXACTLY how I removed flywheel,learned and understood concept when my dad showed me how to set a hammer head on its handle. Because if me we always had a functioning mower. I received recognition/praise twice for my efforts/knowledge/ability in all that time period, once from dad,once from bro. 5 yrs. my senior. Literally.....if a child can grasp it,how hard can it be?🙂✌❤

[@metal.mover23]

Shoot I never used a puller for a flywheel and I'm working on Briggs Kohler's and Kawasaki and I love this channel lol... Non of them engines are "wrecked" either🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

I had the bolt threaded from the top kind. I was able to get off in around 10 mins after spending a lot of time trying everything else I could think of! Thanks a lot!

[@johnsamuelson3234]

Got my Slipdog mug and tee shirt in the mail yesterday!! Thanks boys!

[@chrisgee5893]

Thanks for the demo Taryl. The engine i have is a 28 year old B&S off a Snapper. The centre shaft screwed out so i used a socket in the centre and as you said, one good tap and the flywheel was off. The only problem is that previously hammering the hub that holds the drive disk off the drive end, one of the magnets in the flywheel came off. Not the end of the world, it was because of the detached magnet locking up the crankshaft that i had to get the flywheel off. All because of a failed sump gasket. Thanks again.

[@danbeckstead2020]

Works like a charm. Thanks!

[@Inspironator]

I followed your example and it worked for me. It took a few tries because in the beginning I used minimal prying pressure and increased pressure with each try. I wish I had known that 40 years ago.

[@rodneykahn6927]

and the size of hammer+the right amount of force/blow

I got a question for you my stator on my z-track 225 riding mower the battery is a little chip on the edges the same as on the flywheel not all of them just one or two might have a little chip on it in the corner does that mean it has to be replaced

[@anthonypuccio9575]

You need to clean up the end of your drifts. I once seen a piece of the end that mushrooms fly off when he hit it and hit him in the eye. Almost lost his eye and was out of work for a month. No joke made a believer out of me. Wouldn't want to see you or anyone else in your garage get hurt. Be safe my friend.

Have a Grasshopper 227 mower with 27 HP Kohler horizontal shaft obstructed by frame cross member. After cutting plastic shroud in half to remove, I have approx 6 inches clearance access to crank center. Is there a short bolt puller or will I have to pull the engine? As is I can neither strike nor leverage from rear.

[@ottofumbler7267]

Help! I have the same setup as in the second example at 3:20, but it's dug in there like an Alabama tick. Even tried using a three-leg gear puller. No amount of whacking and prying is working. Also drowned it in penetrating fluid. Any other suggestions? Seems virtually welded on. I don't have the genuine B&S puller, but I don't want to buy one as the fixing holes don't seem to be threaded. Can't see any threads, M5 bolt too big, M4 too small. Do B&S use a different size deep threaded design in their old classic/sprint/quattro engines?

Hi there ! Geetings from France

Would a brass hammer not be a better choice? I've always used one and never had a crank or bolt mushroom. Of course I have never in my dreams removed as many as you! Thanks for sharing all these good tips with us!!

[@ianwilliams487]

G'Day Mr Garrett,depending on the type of brass,,i would be real careful of splinters getting in to places ya don't want,,we were told never use solid brass for dollies or hammers,,Copper or mild steel is the go,,even knocking in bearings, Now there's a hide hammer,,but they get Buggered easily,some just too soft,,

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

@@ianwilliams487 Thanks for the response! I'll be 75 next month and been using brass hammers, drifts and punches since I started turning wrenches at 13. Out here in the boonies where the poor folk live, we cant run to the store and spend money we don't have. Never a problem, never a mushroom. But, never too old to learn something new! Thanks again!

[@ianwilliams487]

@@Watchyn_Yarwood ,Sir,,I didn't mean any thing by this comment,and I did say brass type,,Heavy silica bronze is very good,Comparable to steel and used in the spark Less industry..like gas furnaces with the gas still on,,and a spark,,Well,,KA-BOOM, but pure brass,work hardens very quickly and does not so much mushroom as splinters,,Little flakes,Just big enough to get where ya don't want it,,Why mild steel is a good option,,it does mushroom,,but the mushie has to be huge before splintering,, So again Sorry for the way the comment seemed,

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

@@ianwilliams487 No worries! I apologize if my response seemed to indicate otherwise!! I was just stating how brass hammers apply to my particular circumstances. My dad bought me a 1/2" drive socket set and a set of 3/8" to 1-1/8" combination wrenches when I was 13. I still have most of my sockets and wrenches. I'm very particular with my tools and how I use them. The thought of dinging the threads or mushrooming a shaft just puckers my butt. Each to his own, I say. I will definitely give consideration to a copper whammer for the future and you have a great and blessed day sir!!
