what do you think about just replacing the motors because they don't work?

[@joycebarros3376]

Hey Civil, Dr., can you do everything for Matilda?

[@matthewwheaton5835]

I don't get how this guy only has 54K subscribers. Hands down his channel is one of the most thorough on fixing pretty much ANY small engine you can think of. Coupled with his energy and personality...super entertaining. Keep up the good work!

[@ateam6486]

I thought I was subbed to him a few years ago and he just died, I then discover today the dam youtube gods took him off my subs list.

[@wh8085]

@@ateam6486 I have found they do that a lot !

[@Buck1954]

In 6 months he has gained 18k. So maybe....

[@Mark-nu5vg]

I feel the same way about Taryl's video's .Mustie1 is good also the rest I don''t bother.

[@deanguando1335]

The reason is because in this day and age no one fixes anything themselves. Not like the good old days.

[@ianfrost6648]

Taryl thanks to you and all the behind the scenes guys who put time and effort to bring us these videos. It may be fun but it still takes time. I agree how can you question someone with 40 years experience. Happy and healthy holidays to all of you.

Hard to believe anyone would doubt you Taryl.

I need to mention this.. You've made quite the impression on so many ppl at the GIE.. (Think that's what it's called) anyway a few ppl have mentioned your channel on theirs and they've all said you're hilarious and so educational. You're a genius Taryl!! I think the rest of the world is finally realizing this!

[@timetogodoug]

Thanks Taryl, you always have some interesting projects. Have a great day!

[@thekingsilverado9004]

Taryl is the kind of guy you just want 4 a brother good personality on screen and knows how... There's something lovable about the guy really there is...

[@ateam6486]

he is the kind of brother you use to sight in your BB gun with on moving targets

[@xenia5101]

It took several videos to determine that Taryl is totally old school. He knows how to make things work and improvises well meaning he probably grew up on a farm where there was some urgency in keeping equipment running. Been there 6o years ago so thanks Teryl for carrying on. It seems to me that you have a lot to share.

[@vk7408]

Another great example of being a great fabricator and helping us find solutions to fix our stuff

[@mikedeiana1504]

Taryl love your videos. I love the way you make parts and fix older stuff. A lot of people today just replace things. I love the way you make things work exactly what I do and making things better than the original design. Awesome videos. Keep them coming.

Most excellent work and videography doc, you Rock!!! Love your videos and channel sir, easy to see why you are the master!! Sometimes watching your older vids helps me to understand and appreciate how far you've made it today with your natural knack and touch with these small engines! I'm inspired once again, you never cease to amaze me!

[@funafter5081]

I like the way you do things! You're a better doctor than DR! Your video production is awesome too! I love all the little sound fx that you put in to the videos! Very practical and amusing video. I have a 7hp version of that motor and I learned a lot from you. I tore my carb apart and it was in worse condition than yours, I didn't replace any gaskets, seals, seats or anything, I just removed as much crud as I could, got the float needle freed up again, stuck some wire through any hole I could find and the dang thing worked! Carry on bro! Cheers, John 😎👍

[@rudy52350]

Been watching you for a long time Taryl , you're the best at repairing and explaining , I wish you were here in northern Indiana , thanks ...

I have a cyclone rake classic that I bought as part of a package deal with a cub cadet tractor. I love them both,but thanks to the wife's yard plantings the cyclone rake isnt much use at my house,but I've played with it at other lots. It does a great job and seems well built.

haha, i just got done doing same kind of work to an agrifab I bought dirt cheap, water got in it thru the muffler and the hoses were broken too, except it took me a few weeks to trouble shoot all areas. I wish I had seen this video before i started working on it, it would have save me days and money. Thanks Taryl for this great video!

I was looking at buying a lawn vacuum. Now I know all the upgrades to do. Gotta get me a blast cabinet for the carbortraitor Your vids are awesome, keep them coming!

[@markmauldin5867]

Hey Taryl, I have a newer DR vacuum, their is a bracket that mounts on vacuum that just drops in a hole to swivel with a hook to attack by his chord into hose to keep off the ground and allows hose to be longer so you will not pull off when turning opposite way away from hose. Nice find, and great job. You’re a hoot 🦉 . MM

[@scroftyone7740]

Great entertainment!! Loved the applause sound effect when you finally got the seat installed.

[@4gauge10]

I bet that guy is kicking himself for selling that"doctor"now...HAHAHA!!. Twenty-thirty bucks in hose parts,clean up that cruddy carbatraitor,weld the hitch back on and it works great Tayrl...HAHA!!.

Good 1 fellas

[@garysgarage3669]

Love your videos. Kinda surprised you haven't made a seat tool for Briggs.

[@dfields9511]

Great, I have heard that the Tecumseh tool for the seat install works also in Briggs I personally use a paper clip to help put the seat in then push it down with an Allen wrench or drill bit. Dr taryl is in today’s patient is [fill in the blank]

[@Brianmlife]

This Dr Leaf Vac almost reminds me of a Mustie! special, but it is not crusty and rusty enough. lol

[@FarmCraft101]

Love your videos. Hilarious and educational. Perfect combination. I am a hobby machinist, and if you want I can make you a seat installation tool for those briggs carbs. Just let me know dimensions you want and where to mail it to. Cheers!

excellent trouble shooting and smart idea adding part numbers...thanks for sharing

[@howardstrickler9760]

Instead of a seat tool Why not use a Hole transfer enter punch ? I find they work Quite well for inserting small O rings or gasket where i cant get my fingers into

[@gregorysampson8759]

I hope someday taryl can get himself a wirkbench or lift so he doesn't have to work off the floor anymore.

[@nonenone8819]

226 in the morning in Oklahoma! Cant sleep watching your videos!

[@dang2390]

Went to my local parts house asked about a new carbatrator and batree they gave me a weird bug-eyed look any tips on finding these hard to find parts?

[@Lulanda93]

First you must say the secret code word Muffkinn, once you do they will then understand you much clearer 😂

[@ateam6486]

they did that because a new carb can cost more then a new motor that will come with a new carb already on it

[@clockguy2]

I try to avoid the stink-eye from the local parts guy. I go online with the engine number and look for a parts manual to get individual part numbers, and usually end up buying the part on fleaBay. Then we play the waiting game for it to ship.

[@dennisg2920]

FFS Taryl, that "carbutrator" that you put sand thrue. You fucking SAVED IT!

[@10832894]

Outstanding Video thanks Tarly…👍🏻

[@anthonytrodriguez7166]

Another well done job

[@josephpuchel6497]

Excellent video and work. Great idea on drainage pipe. When it comes to those DR products the price of the parts are expensive. We received several products from customers who had them drop ship to our shop for assembly and found problems with them.

[@billmers3219]

I just bought a agro-fab. Nice machine however... $100 for a 3 ft piece of their flex hose.. I don't think so. I have all winter to Fab it up to my Ferris. Definitely going to look into some drainage pipe 👍

[@davidroeslersr637]

Just awesome problem solving and great fixes better than original. Fun to watch. keep it up!! Thank you.

[@wayoutwest4944]

I have a doctor leaf sucker/chopper. Mine has a Subaru 1 cyl engine, which is fine. The rest of it leaves a lot to be desired. I didn't even use it fall of, 2018, just chopped the leaves with lawn mower until they were almost dust. I am glad you got your cheap.

[@oldskool4580]

"Make sure you got some glasses on that stuff will spray back at ya" and even if you duck your head behind a 6" solid steel wall that liquid fire will find the direct hit path to an eyeball !!! I'm so gun shy of it after 20 yrs that whenever Taryl picks up a can I dive for cover so it don't get me thru the compuker screen !!! He's only got me that way twice lol.

[@RADIORUNNER1966]

It took me a long time to warm up to the hillbilly teeth and theatrical acting, now that your acting doesn’t cause me to skip over to Scotty Kilmers channel, your videos are dam Informative, good job on the info when fixing equipment , very thorough and to the point , to bad I won’t see any Roper 8 horse 26 wide snow blower 70’s vintage ... it’s an awesome old blower

[@chriskourlos4407]

Fantastic. Reminds me of carl in Slingblade. He was a genius too.

[@joewest1972]

Looks like a transfer punch would be a perfect tool. Start with the punch side to get it started then turn it over to finish installing the seat

[@knighthawk86855]

I sold one of these doctor vacs, with a simplicity tractor, it was complete had all the parts, and everything ran perfectly, sold both for 1000.00.....guy loves it.

[@donaldfrederick1557]

I built one of these machines from a 5HP chipper that some one threw away. Built a frame and some large caster wheels. The most expensive part was the 8" hose. And building the connection to the mower deck was the hardest part to build. Machine works great.

[@anthonymorrison2167]

how well does it work does a chipper make pretty good vacuum thinking about this for a loader minus the deck. let me know. thanks.

I just got an Agrifab Mow N Vac. similar to this. the wheel bearing (Actually just a couple plastic bushings) were gone on one side so I made new ones out of PVC pipe with a notch cut in it for the grease fitting. The guy who had it never changed the oil so it was black, and it sat outside for a year. I got it going though!

Great bunch of fixes. Thanks for bringing this to my interscreen!

[@sun9912]

Great movie bro

[@SS-vb7pp]

I can see why the front bracket broke off the vac frame. When you drive over uneven surfaces, it puts too much force on the connection.... Taryl you need to fabricate something to make that connection from the tractor to the vac frame pivot up/down... Just my 2 cents AND , there's your dinner...... P.S. I've made parts for the space shuttle back in the day.... Lol

[@fair2middlin]

I also had to wonder why that did not come attached with ball hitch. I can only guess; it is because when turning the hose length from the mower deck to vacuum would need to increase and decrease.
