Cub Cadet Zero Engine Swap: Kohler To Briggs - with Taryl

In "Uncle Andy vs. The Snowblower", Taryl goes over what it takes to properly swap over a Briggs 23 hp engine in place of a 23 hp Kohler Command on a Cub Cadet zero turn mower. Prior to and after the fix, Uncle Andy shows up to shovel Taryl's snow which doesn't work out too well for him.

Question what if there isn't a blue wire

[@halrhoads6194]

Just don't understand why you don't have 10 times more subscribers. I've learned a lot from your videos, and been entertained at the same time. Thanks, Taryl.

[@sinclairopaline]

Why no more subscribers, people are generally dumb when it comes to mowers and don’t want to learn. This guy is good. He dresses goofy I guess he dosent want to be seen on the street. That I understand

[@armyvet4081]

same here I have learned a lot-been working on mowers for 60 years.

[@crisprtalk6963]

some people might be afraid they will catch something from watching Taryl and company,

[@hans429]

Yes, the intro is quite informative and the video is funn as hell...or the other round away? Wat ever

[@acetech9237]

Honestly I think because he opens with skits, a lot of people don't take him seriously or realize it just starts with that. People are petty. Doesn't bother me but people are shit nowadays.😂

[@TerrellWillams]

The only reason you’re not at 10 million subs is because MOST people are allergic to work! Super informative and entertaining to boot!!!

[@davidschliebe246]

No body appreciates the lawn mower humor until you work on these things for a while.

[@tedbreuer3835]

In my book Taryl is an absolute genius!!! I am lucky to do simple maintenance.

[@nonenone8819]

I must admit that this channel is one of the most interesting on KZbin and funny as all get out! So glad I found it!

[@juliosantos9289]

Taryl thank you! I work at a local School bus shop but we also maintain all the power equipment that the landscapers use. I don't have much experience working on mowers and your videos are a major blessing for me. I'm definitely going to the store and getting that z- bender tool and a shirt. Keep making those videos brother.

[@samuelneil2691]

Love this channel. You guys are hilarious! You definitely captures the niche crowd of small engine community hah.

[@jeffkreft9872]

I live for this, here’s my Sunday Diner. Thanks Taryl!

[@dwaynehollis5937]

I need help

[@gd9704]

I really enjoy watching an experienced mechanic do his thing. You make difficult jobs look easy.

[@Beretta96Dan]

Mr. Dactyl, you are one good small engine mechanic! You make it look simple. Thanks!

[@johnobiro5202]

There’s no substitute for experience. Great job Taryl. 👍

[@andrewwoodward6560]

Really nice work! Cool to see the muffler mod. Taryl has as the skill and experience, nice grounding upgrade and electrical work, too. Pretty sure not every shop would make it look that nice. Thanks, Grass Rats!

[@nww6982]

Legend Taryl. Just did this change over from your love of Kohler courage to twin intek on Toro, easy job.

[@funkybioped]

Thanks for all the vids guys. Super helpful, and pretty entertaining too.

[@davidavi8554]

I gotta confess, the editing has gone beyond and more to the point that it's more entertaining than the comedian called a mechanic.

[@stellaabby37]

Thanks for the help. I just swapped a kohler command 27hp to B&S pro 26hp on a cub m54 tank. Worked great. Your video had some helpful information.

[@wysetech2000]

Well done everyone involved. The end was funny.

[@chrisd8180]

I have learned more from your videos than 4 years in mechanics classes in school... That i took 20+ years ago he he lol. Your so smart, love Your videos thank you Taryl

[@michaelglynn2638]

Classic Taryl, good info, good laugh and a good fix. Nice 👍

[@BigHoss920]

COOL VIDEO!! take me back in the days or 10 years of working on Snowblowers, push mowers, lawn tractors, engine swaps, Kustom Lawn tractor, painting n building, and in my younger days I use make duel or Stacks on push mowers or Lawn tractors lol...

[@brandonotto1342]

Thanks for the video Tayrl!!

[@randybeard6040]

I had a kohler engine just like this one on a Generic JD that was 14 years old and never used an ounce of oil--finally sold it to a friend 2 years ago and he is still using the lawn tractor...

[@kerrygleeson4409]

Alway interesting and I’m learning all the time thanks for sharing your vast knowledge 👍

[@josephpuchel6497]

That was a excellent how to video. The camera man did great job getting everything you did under the deck. The wiring could be a stress breaker but you hooked it up like there was nothing to it. That’s because your Taryl Lawnmower Man.

[@antoniusblade871]

I enjoy the Taryl videos. He makes it funny and entertaining but the man underneath it knows his stuff.

[@rmiller6483]

What an absolute classic... Taryl definitely for president...👍👍👍

[@denniskucan9796]

U r the best at small engine and the only guy I watch and a guy that works on cars scotty kilmer.. u both r the best at what u do..

[@Comm0ut]

Slick flange re-clocking on that exhaust! I've been wrenching, welding and machining since the late '70s but still pick up useful tips here because every type of mechanic work is different.

[@mariom4650]

Well done everyone, I real like your shows and i Learned a lot from you thanks

[@ianrobinson1805]

I really love your videos, you’ve inspired me to fixing small engines as I’m disabled but used to be a mechanic by trade.

[@ctscantechnologist]

I love my briggs and stratton engines. They both start and run well after 20 years of service.

[@bennieshetler8435]

Thanks Taryl. ..great video ... please keep filming the engine swaps " I love em.... I have a 6 year old an 7 year old boys " they love watching Taryl with me ...they keep begging me to take them to your shop ..they wanna see you in person .. We live in middle of ohio so it would be a little drive ..it's funny I turn Taryl on and they come running an jump on the couch. ..thanks guys

[@jimwilliams3765]

Great job on repairing mowers. I like your videos. I have did mower repair about 40 years. You still can learn something, Even when you have did it for a long time. Jim

[@jeffv7726]

Good job guys! You made my sunday morning ,now it's time for a Hamms,er coors light lol.

[@maintenanceman1015]

Just have to say you a great camera man ,and the sound effects really make you videos .Thanks Taryl you problem for got more than most people will every know

[@jamesadams2333]

Another great video! Keep up the awesome work!

[@kevjohnowen9260]

Great information, great team, real fun to watch. Great camera work, editing and sound effects. I’m now confident to do a similar Intek for a bigger Intek in a Mountfield 40” but the new engine doesn’t match the previous wiring colours or connectors. No big deal after watching this video…There’s my dinner! Woooooo!

[@ChrisCraigie-oi1un]

Really outstanding presentation! You and your camera man do a fantastic job of explaining and photographing the procedure and why it had to get done. Really great. Thank you.

[@dippydodaa]

Great dinner. This gave me a lot of insight. Now to re-power my (old) Bunton Hydro! If your shop was closer I would let you do it.

[@richardf9137]

Damn fun watching a PROFESSIONAL at work!!

[@cannonballrepair7940]

That air hammer trick is the cat’s meow!! I’ll definitely be trying that the next time I’m removing a PTO or pulley! Thank you once again!

[@hardkore360]

muffkin, carbutrator, krowler, scrub cadet, Briggs and Scratton, hahahaha!!!! priceless Taryl, priceless....

[@brandonmurphy4657]

Kamisaki

[@jordansdad1221]

I would have liked to have seen you fix the pulley on the deck Taryl. Great video. I liked when you went to the blown engine to show us where the wires went.

[@voidvincent]

He's going to light it with fire and quench it. Then put a new grease fitting in it and whhallaa

[@CTmoog]

Great video guys! Jr, get out there and blow some snow! =) Uncle Andy has seen better days!

[@fire7765]

Awesome video my friend, thx for sharing.

[@texbell68]

Thank you so much so many questions I've had in on your site is the only one that's answered them for me

[@billfischer6464]

And a Wilton scrub cadet vice was used! Love your channel Taryl!

[@charlesbuttigieg4481]

love you work Taryl

[@yardlimit8695]

t excellent vid........as usual and a great heads up on what to look for when swapping one brand to another...........you're good at what you do.............

[@elhalconvengador]

I follow you since 1 year ago. Very good and easy to understand the solutions for different kind of problems of the mowers...

[@richsavage878]

You are the best ! Very informative !

[@darsmith3448]

Good Morning, Taryl, Jr., Slippers, et al!!!! Well, now you'll have a used motor?!?!? That ought to be a good video, as long as you get to keep it!!!! As the husband has "taught" me, he has conditioned me to remove the ground wire first. Otherwise you may tap the power cable to the battery terminal...like it did...and thankfully nothing happened! Now There's Yur Dinner!!! Good to see all!!!! Grass Rats.... Yow... Grass Rats... Yow... Back to the video!!!! -Darlene (& Scott)

[@raymondgarafano8604]

So kooooool Taryl, Thanks for having cats and taking care of some strays, God loves ya 4 that.

[@bubbahall8447]

[@ihus9950]

Thanks Taryl, great video 👍

[@fredricks240]

Coffee and The Grass Rats the start of a fine day!!

[@HallnoutMhall]

Love your videos. Keep it up taryl.

[@augienajera642]

Great Vid once again GRG!! Nice Fab work again!!

[@earlturner5051]

Get an old 5/8 socket to put on the bolt head as a guide for the punch in the air hammer and you won't have to worry bout it sliding off the head of the bolt

[@bushmaster2936]

I'll give it a try next time. thank you.

[@robertwilson2982]

I was wondering about that...I'm trying to get the pto off my simplicity javelin with an intek (tossed a rod so it HAS to come off) ...sad part, while trying to hammer, slipped off the bolt and jabbed the bearing seal on the pto! Ughhhh...so, been researching how to fit that now too! Grrrr

[@TedBishop1]

Taryl is silly but he has the hands of a skilled mechanic Great video !

[@frederickjuneau7874]

The muffler modification part was bad ass!!!!

[@leonmcrae5249]

You is a beast I learned alot by watching ur videos

[@mrbubetube]

omg, it takes a master mechanic of legendary proportions to fix a Chonda. You are truly a GOD. Oh, and next time send Uncle Andy out there with a blow dryer. He should be able to clear the snow faster with that.

[@bushmaster2936]

True, but No Chondas were fixed or harmed during the making of this video.

[@Goomer]

Great Job, I think Andy is getting the hang of it.

[@larrylevandoski7514]

Another great video bye the best surgeon of all!

[@redtailhawk289]

Good job Taryl make another video tearing down the bad motor showing what is wrong with it . Or what it had for dinner that killed it.

[@brucel.6078]

Great video!!! What CANT you fix?!?!? Genius!!! 🍺🍺🍺

[@calvinmientke3539]

Anything but a broken heart;)

[@thomasfx3190]

I just love these videos, I'd wrench with Taryl any day.

[@MitchellGWhitehead]

Great video!

[@ftowles2001]

Looks like its time to put old uncle andy out to pasture! Thnx big T.

[@anthonybendl8125]

The Master at work.

[@jay7264]

wow taryl your an awesome mechanic

[@gregorypiercesr.794]

Great video as usual!👍👍👍

[@Steven-xy6ek]

THAT IMPROVED THE CADET MORE THAN YOU THINK greaattt job TARAL

[@allenmckinney9533]

Couldn't pour piss out of a boot even if the instructions were on the bottom. I gotta remember that one.

[@weirdbeard63]

I remembered it from when I first heard it about 50 years ago.......

[@stevee7774]

I’m 51, been hearing it from my Dad all my life ( So dumb you couldn’t pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel!) 😂

[@donraabe3529]

Another great video

[@notajp]

Reminds me of the fairly new Gravely ZT that I had to put a new Krohler engine on. Customer changed the oil himself and forgot to make sure he got the old gasket off for the filter before he put the new one on. You can guess the rest. If the crank hadn’t come around and slammed what was left of the rod into the base of the cylinder on that side, I could have saved it. $1000 engine later and he was back in business, but it was an expensive lesson learned...... Funny thing, Scrub Cadet is MTD, Husqvarna is AYP! Ya got a half breed now!

[@jonathanmessore1907]

taryl shirt and stickers coming my way !!!!

[@anthonywilson4873]

I was always taught remove negative of battery first. If spanner touches engine or bodywork nothing happens, if you disconnect positive first and touch bodywork you discharge battery like your ark welding. It burns spanner’s blows holes in bodywork. I said this to a buddy a long time ago as he disconnected his battery, he said nah always done it this way and two seconds later bam, his gold ring touched the car bodywork and the ring was also touching the spanner which was on the positive post of the batter, he blew out part of the ring and it was glowing, he had to run into the house and pour cold water on the ring. Negative connection first disconnecting battery, negative connection last when connecting battery. This applies to electrical systems with negative earth. (The negative attaches to the bodywork). Some really really old systems may have positive earth (The positive connects to the bodywork). In this case the opposite applies.

[@bushmaster2936]

100% Correct !!

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

that video saved the sunday for me

[@mcarroll598]

Great video Taryl! I like the slight modification of the muffkin’ to fit the Husqvarna (Briggs) engine.

[@RustyZipper]

Need a cooling fan in that Jeep for sure ! 🔥

[@MrKabloona]

Blade has some beautiful markings! I guess we will never see fluffy the mouse again.

[@josem.2909]

Kabloona Kelly I guess Taryl throw fluffy to those kittens and say there's your dinner!! , You are right we will never see fluffy again

[@jhitt79]

Fluffys a rat.

[@JesseCase]

That scrub cadet should be honored to even have a Husqvarna sticker put on it! Orange Tractor Pride!!! 🚜

[@hunter7476]

i have that exact smae yard machines snowblower i love it it is very powerful and good after i rebuilt the carburetor completley peice of cake just like mamma use to make uncle andy 2019 !! i love it lol

[@kennethtephabock5634]

Awesome Taryl

[@BillyGoatLawnService]

After watching your videos for the past year, I really like to get more involved in small engine repair. Currently taking a class at my local community college. Your how to videos are much more entertaining than going to school. Question: As far as welding, which welder do your recommend for the hobbyist. The oxy-acetylene seems like the best option over others, even though gas is somewhat outdated compared to mig and tig. Maybe a future video can be related to if you need to weld, bend, or cut metal?

[@fredwagar9130]

Taryl, don't you have a mower lift? I love your videos. Very informational. My knees hurt just watching you work on the floor.

[@phillipparker8947]

Taryl,love your videos and love your work, the only thing I would've done differently on this repower is find another place to connect the battery ground, my opinion and I may be wrong is it should be to the engine block. If there wasn't so much paint under the engine I wouldn't mind. It's just my opinion, you're the one with all the videos and the money,what do I know. Lol, but I'm with you on not putting them on an engine mounting bolt

[@kevinpeterson4098]

Where are you located Taryl? Might have to swing by that shop one day!? Lots of useful entertainment for sure! I just fixed my grandmas 3.5 hp briggs snow thro from the 1980s. Had fuel in it from 10 years ago and rust in the tank. And I recoiled the starter rope and spring. Here's a tip, wrap a bread tie around pull rope and fish it through the coil cover hole. Made life so much easier! There's your dinner 🍽

[@raymondgarafano8604]

Let's see now mufkin for muffler, amphetamine for acetylene, modicating for modificating who cares about words, Taryl knows how to get his dinner! gr8 job Taryl!

[@raymondgarafano8604]

Why does Andy sound like Ron Jerknstane? ha ha happy new year Taryl Junior and every1 else!

[@bushmaster2936]

Not even close. Two different clowns.

[@4gauge10]

This was really good Taryl,ole'uncle Andy was grading the sidewalk with his face...HAHAHA!!.(just kidding) I can't help but note the engine was off of a Husqvarna Z-track that tells me a lot about the quality of their Z-Trax,the engine was the only good thing off of it.HAHAHA!!!. THERES YOUR DINNER!!.

[@cornwasher]

Thanks Taryl. This was another great video and coupled with your skill and knowledge made the engine swap pretty straight forward. I would guess you knew before pulling the Club Cadet engine that the shaft dimension were the same as on the Briggs and Scrap Iron. Thanks again..

[@patlydon519]

I like the red jeep in the background!

[@mikekopisz1227]

The diodes are used to hold the fuel solenoid open in the start position...if your starter ever engages right when you turn on your key,it's from a burned up diode backfeeding into the solenoid circuit,from the power circuit

[@bushmaster2936]

Thank you very much. That's real tip right there. : )

[@bigbob0042]

i liked that muffkin amodacation, LOL

[@ayoutuber0202]

Taryl, ALWAYS disconnect the negative terminal on the battery first, not the positive. BOOM.

[@microfarmers]

I mostly know some of what it doesn't take to maybe fix a lawnmower engine, but I consider myself something of an engineer of such! Like Taryl says "disconnect the battery first" had I knew that, I'd still have my fingers! Thank the good lord, I still got 9 of my old toes! Onetime.... I checked a Toro Recycler for spark by tying a fury little bunny to the cylinder head, fortunately it was a carburetor problem!
