I love it when I have an ACTUAL problem, and i find a taryl video on how to fix it

[@Inisfad]

These are the greatest vids, and you're absolutely brilliant. I watch videos for machinery I don't even have, just to learn all the interesting tips you've got. Thanks as always for posting these.....

[@tallowtreemfg]

Your videos crack me up! I watch them all even though presently I don't even have any problems with engines. Taryl...great job! Thanks.

[@cornwasher]

Love that intro and the goofy character. Darn fine tip on seal removal too. Thanks Taryl.

[@geraldbajarin857]

It can't be easy to try and make a point and be goofy as heck at the same time. Entertaining.

[@doggydoggdoggy222]

Hey taryl. Thank you for you're tips. I just got my mower running because of you're video and walking me through step by step. You saved me a lot of money my friend.

[@josephfine3394]

Nice tips on seal removal, really helped me out! Thanks again Taryl Dactyl!

[@oases6862]

Great video, watched it quite a few times, and today made my own slide hammer puller from your idea, using, of all things, a telescope balance weight for the hammer. Worked great thank you and pulled those seals out fine. Also love the T shirt and beer cooler my wife got me shipped back to the UK for my birthday. You're a funny and very knowledgeable guy who's helped me loads. Cheers !

[@dustinhoepker3051]

Thanks for the video! I had oil spewing out of my old dixon and thought i was in a lot bigger trouble! Love your videos!

[@kevinturner5445]

Pretty goofy, but very helpful and puts more details in the info than most people. Great job!!

[@marcthvac]

Good job! This video helped me out quite a bit. Thanks, man. Thumbs up

[@davecooper360]

I did NOT know it was possible to remove a seal with the crankshaft still in.. learn something new every day! Nice seal puller you made there! Cheers!

[@davidpowell3347]

Have to get that crankshaft nice and clean,smooth metal not rust.

[@sandydogy]

I love it, thanks for posting this

[@rockharvey5787]

Wow I was about to split my crankcase to drive that seal out from the inside. Glad I checked Taryl first!!! I’m going to make one of those tools right now

[@Airman..]

good videos guys keep it coming need your advice, i just finished rebuilding a Robin EH41 generator engine, it hade a bad ring piston/ bad bore so i got it oversized to .50 and replaced all seals and bearings. i can listen to a hissing like sound near the TDC Now its hard to pull start when it stats it runs just fine, surprising before i got it rebuilt it was starting like a breeze. what do you thing might be the problem? thanks

[@ezekielvanvolkenburg2197]

I love your show I watch all of the episodes

[@minouchat]

you make me laugh a lot with your introductions !!! Mr Taryl, what is the loctite you use to glue that seal in place ? Thans and now it's time for your diner LOLLL

[@georgiacitizen7175]

AWESOME!! I love these videos!! lol..

[@edgenet1]

I agree to bad his shop is an bit far from Toronto I would have volunteered to work for a few weeks and learn a bunch of stuff that would last me a life time.

[@hughchristian1976]

Great info and fine entertainment. Thanks brother

[@danaha]

Works great! I just tried it and it worked perfectly, much easier than using the old screwdriver method.

[@42kjackson]

Nice video man. I have a craftsman yt3000 that's been slinging oil from the crankshaft pulley. Pulled the pulley off and there wasn't a oil seal to be found. Idk if it's been worked on. You ever come across that before?

[@cassk9999]

I love taryl fixes all channel bless man

[@haugstule]

this is a vintage episode, no seal noises. (so i had to make the sound effects in this one) (seal barks)

[@etyrnal]

Hey Taryl, thanks so much for making these videos. Sometimes I watch them just for fun, even when I don't have a problem with a mower. So I use this video to help me replace the main seal on my Cub Cadet lt1024. When I put it all back together mechanically everything went perfectly. But when I tried to start it after that it wouldn't start. The engine wouldn't turn over, it wouldn't crank, it wouldn't fire up. On the instrument panel it has a pressure indicator lit up, and doesn't do anything else. Do these machines need to be reset somehow? I had unplugged the battery and the machine was not plugged into power for a couple of weeks. Is there some sequence that can get the computer out of sync with all the safety mechanisms? It's a mower census low oil pressure, will it refuse to start? How can I reset the brains on this thing? When I took the thing apart to replace the oil seal, it had no electrical problems of any kind. Not even intermittent problems. It operated 100% normally. I can't help but think that after having taking the battery off, and unplugging the engine from the mower, that something is confused in the machine.

[@douglasbest8136]

Could using a oil weight 15w50 rather than a recommended 15w30 make a similar Kohler oil seal leak? We have a 20 Hp Kohler Command engine with a horizontal shaft, when we purchased oil the dealer sold us 15w50, that was in the spring and now we have an oil leak at the seal. The dealer realized they had sold us the wrong oil and gave us some 15w30 but said it would be alright to run it with the 15w50. Enjoyed your video.

[@ibgrimme]

love your videos! didnt have to weld new studs on muffkin, thank goodness for PB Blaster penetrating oil! didnt have to fight the seal, it fell out, shrunk from age LOL

[@sjb8568]

LOL! very informative and super funny!!!!!

[@glennspeeds]

And there's ur dinner!! LOL! Good job :)

[@jhitt79]

Awesome puller!!

[@josephferry155]

Question on a common briggs single. Ontop of the block where the crank protrudes through I noticed like a crank seal pressed in into the top of the block from underneath up. Looks to be a crack in it mm maybe a hairline if you will. That normal for oil to run back down or no? I'm guessing not but figured I'd ask!!!

[@vanover69]

great videos...I have a issue I hope you can help me with. I have a Honda GX390 on a generator. I replaced the crankcase shaft oil seal as it was leaking. I installed the new seal flush with the engine case. After running for awhile it started leaking again. I thought the seal needed to be counter sunk a bit so I replaced it again. And after running for a short time it has started leaking again. Im not sure where to go from here. Both times replacing the seal I used steelwool to clean the shaft and it seems smooth with no defects. Any advice would be great! Thanks in advance

[@kevinleee3408]

Taryl knows his stuff

[@Georgiagreen317]

Another good video. My front seal (flywheel end) had the same issue. The seal had worked completely out of the case. Way too loose. This must be an issue with these Command engines. I was contemplating gluing the seal in and Taryl showed it to be a good practice. Thanks Taryl!

[@geojor]

good info, thanks...

[@superagricoltura]

Hello i can ask you how do you call that tool you used to remove the paraffin?

[@robre6840]

Taryl is this procedure the same for a craftsman mower crankshaft oil seal lower one above the pulley. I believe mine is leaking from the seal can I screw it out with having to remove the engine?

[@billhoward3076]

I have a white outdoor lawn tractor, feels like belts slipping, but it refuses to pull even the slightest of incline in my yard. There is some old oil leakage on drive belt pulley, could it be the drive belt pulley or is it the transmission?

[@mickeymet6973]

i think I did something wrong on my oil seal replacement (Tecumseh 18hp). First off, it blew the seal out, and when I got the new one in, the rubber is kinda curled in and curled out (about 1/2 and 1/2). Any ideas on how to fix that or pull the seal without having to buy another one? Thanks Taryl. . .

[@x-man5056]

Always clean any area where you are putting RTV with Lacquer thinner or equivalent. RTV does not stick to oily surfaces. I will measure the depth of the seal and seal surround to assure seal is not in too far. Better to skip the Locktight since its made for metal on metal, clean the outer portion of seal and inner portion where seal sits and just use RTV instead of Locktight.

[@davidpowell3347]

might be better to put the replacement at slightly different depth than where the original was but trying not to bottom it all the way. So as not to wear the crankshaft in the same place as before.

[@x-man5056]

@@davidpowell3347Often for more popular applications you can get a repair sleeve that slide on the crankshaft. But your idea is a good one if you can't. I'd make careful measurements to get it parked right where you want it. It should work, you shouldn't have to move it much.

[@x-man5056]

@@davidpowell3347For most popular applications, you can get a thin sleeve to slip onto the crank or back of the vibration dampener. But your idea is good. Break out the calipers and measure well, park it in a sweet spot. You don't need to move it far.

[@SimplyChem32]

That seal puller is pretty brilliant haha

[@zerkfn8501]

OK. I STUMBLED ON THIS GUYU...THIS MADE MY START OF 2017...TOO FUNNY, BUT HELPFUL!

[@jameshixson4770]

I have a troybilt tiller and it leaks oil from the transmission part where the tines are connected. It also leaks from the shaft where the wheels are connected. I have changed all the seals 3-4 times and they still leak. I also put the seals in at different depths like you said and still leaks. What else could the leaks be caused by? The oil only leaks where the seals are, no cracks in the transmission case.

[@Cito_Fiytb_617]

Hello tarel just wondering if I can add the silicone to the seal on my crankcase for a 205cc scooter high compression motor I just did it twice in less than 2 months and its leaking bad any help I'd appreciate it alot thanks

[@richardcole6566]

I'm replacing a sump seal on my LT1042 Club Cadet . I have the seal in and I can see oil hole it looks okay but do I have the seal in to deep? I figure , as long as I can see the oil hole it will be alright. What is your input? Thanks

[@goatedmikee1829]

Taryl.. I used permatech to seal valve gasket, but I need to remove as actually head gasket blown, Is there anyway to break a Permatech seal

[@loyeserasch5366]

Thank You , Good Video .

[@robertthomas2022]

What kind of Loctite did you use? Went to the store and there are bunch of different types.

[@anthonylotspeich8733]

Do you happen to know what the torque spec is for that clutch and pulled bolt on the end of the crank?

[@TheCyberbot]

theres your dinner! thanks mate.. mick from australia.

[@Ribbitmefoot]

Great tip as always Taryl. Yeeeeee Hawwwww

[@BOHUNTER21]

That was special 😀😀

[@RonaldBVega]

Dude your a genius!

[@benniedonald]

I sanded the shaft until it slipped past the bend. The bend and rust together kept it on. Thanks for the response and I was lucky. The bend was not an elbow bend more long and smooth.

[@watchfast1]

Loctite 262, 271 or 272 (high temperature) thread lock is used to hold the seal in place Permatex 82180 Ultra Black Maximum Oil Resistance RTV Silicone Gasket Maker applied over the seal

They got me on pillows now!

[@LyonhartZ2]

Great Vid

[@JohnHappelFullMastHap]

Awesome video as always!!!! Taryl, think you might be able to do a video on loose steering on a Troy-Bilt Pony???? 2008 model is what I need help with. Would greatly appreciate it!!!! Love your videos!!!! And there's yer dinner!!!!😂

[@robertthomas2022]

I am attempting to put oil seal in Honda HR215 Lawnmower. Do you have any videos showing how to do this. I took blade, and clutch off, and stumped what to do now. I don't see any videos on you tube. Do you have any? Thanks.

[@cassk9999]

Taryl is a crazy dude man

[@styga1969]

Taryl...How you suppose to get that round seal "squared" in a round hole? Lol. 😉 I found an old square seal and cut the case so it would fit but now it leaks even worse! Also the red locktite didn't work that good. So i welded the hole and now the engine doesn't turn. Help!!! Lol. You crack me up bro...

[@jstil444]

Thank you for the video taryl, I almost made a mistake of driving a seal too far in my kroler command crankshaft. It would not have been good to plug that oil hole!

[@Twobarpsi]

Can you really use Red Loctite on that seal? Thanks!

[@SergioGarcia-ei8td]

Hi yaryl i am replacing mine in my 18hp kholer i just have 1 question,do i need to drain out the oil before getting the seal out?your help will be appreciated, by the way thanks for posting this and all of your videos we all learn from them and save a lots of green bucks👍

[@Hooverdarnit]

You shouldn't have to drain the oil out because with the engine not running, there is no oil pressure to cause it to run out. Though it could slightly ooze out a few drops.

[@Twobarpsi]

No

[@NICKBOND-se1bh]

If you block the drainage does it cause the engine to overheat because my pressure washer was was hotter than normal and the head was comming from the top of the moter?

[@Drock8003]

If the seal has been driven in To far will that cause oil to spray out of the rocker cover

[@MrTechnogoodie]

Excellent videos. No blow, just info. Without having to buy specialty tools or take it to a shop where some idiot can destroy your stuff and then charge you for it.

[@Machinehead444]

Thanks Taryl

What seal can I use on a predator 708 cc engine?? They don’t make them anymore. Any ideas would be appreciated

Hey mr taryl I have 18 hp kohler is leaking oil gp from same place a guy replace the seal but still leaking u think he installed wrong he says now he needs to do a closure plate kit on it what u think

What engine is that? I cant find anymore videos for that engine

Do the same to bottom oil seal on Kohler courage to remove?

my tecumseh 7.5hp snowblower is leaking from where the engine attaches to the snowblower frame itself.. is this fixable ?

[@jozy8612]

Hi I have lot off motor oil leaking under motor over 200k miles. But no more oil is leaking when I check in the morning. Do its old oil leaks. What should I do where to start ?

[@27613James]

My Tecumseh engine has a stepped shaft, I ruined one new seal when installing. I made a sleeve to protect the new seal using plastic from soda bottle, cut a small sheet and wrapped it around the shaft and taped it tight, like a soda straw. Lubed it up and the new seal slides over the plastic and is not damaged by the step on the shaft.

[@rplmia]

Man I never thought of using PVC pipe as a seal driver . Just what I need to use . Thanks

[@charlesheck8905]

which threadlocker & silicone

[@StatesStyle]

Taryl always does a "belt and braces" job.

[@jabbokrajewski1480]

I going to do this soon thanks

[@txtpqb]

Love the seal puller. One question, wouldn't the excess Loctite on the back side fill that drain hole at the bottom of seal ?

[@Enviros]

I'm pretty sure lock-tite is Not a recommended lubricant.

[@johnhowell224]

How do you know when to stop tapping the seal in?

[@andyandy8817]

I had to do the same job this morning the inside kept folding out I got a beer can and made it taper like a backwards style ring compressor it works good

[@patrickdriscoll9962]

thnks taryl

[@gtoddwilliams]

I put lithium on outside and inside of the seal. Reassembled and still leaking. The seal is just a hair beyond flush. So I ordered a new seal ($10) and I'll try again...but with no grease on outside. Any other ideas?

[@mobiledetail4you]

Taryl you wouldnt be related to Daryl would ya? Nice video, thats what I likta call infotainmint!

[@localcrew]

I’m gonna do this to my Kohler K321 flywheel side!👍

[@MiDeb]

Can you make a video on how you remove the PTO pulley that is on the crankshaft to get to that oil seal? I can't get mine off without bending it with a 3 jaw puller. Thanks

[@davidstill754]

On really stubborn ones you may find it necessary to heat the pulley up and pry it off

[@robertduncan2742]

Tayler can a pto generator be ran off the front of a deere 420 garden tractor. Thanks for your great films

[@arthurr8670]

I know the ih cub cadet had a belt drive generator that you could buy. It ran off of the mower deck pro, with a shorter belt. Think about how much hp a mower deck takes too power, and there are many generators that take less than that. The main issue would be mounting the generator because that would need some adaptor between the tractor and generator to keep the belt straight, with tension on it. The other option is a rare pto setup, but I don't know if the 420 has that. They might have them in a cat 0 size, but I'm not sure. I know cat 1 has this option available to buy. It's nothing more than just another implement, you just have to connect it correctly and size it properly for your power supply (the tractor)

[@rverro8478]

Taryl ! I just change the sump seal on a 16 V-Twin Briggs (303777) without removing the engine or anything else but the pulley. How deep should I tap the new seal back in ? It is installed now but, I wonder if I installed it right. Any advice ? I haven't fired up the engine as we speak because I wonder what would happen if the seal cover's the oil passage, if there's any in this case ( I don't recall seeing one). Thanks a million.

[@TarylFixesAll]

If it covers the oil passage it will lock the engine up on that crank bearing. You should only go past the cover about an 1/8 on on inch and you'll be OK

[@rverro8478]

Thanks a million. And now, I have to figure out how to "Bleed" the trans-axle (transmission) from an air lock. The previous owner drove the old 1989 NOMA with low oil in the transmission and each time I engage the hydrostatic trans, it whines. I added some 20W50 oil and just can't get rid of that "whining"....Just like me...Ha ha ha

[@jamess6734]

here ya go buddy, far easier to just watch the video than me type it all. I do this all the time on customers bitching about noise lol. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d33WcoiLetKIfLM

[@raymondgarafano8604]

Yup the good ol' Morgan knocker or slide hammer.

[@stevewinter3188]

What causes the PTO oil seal on a Vanguard Y-16 to blow out of it's seat (installed location)?

[@chadanderson2486]

Check, clean and or replace the crankcase breather system. Sometimes I use a VERY small amount of aviation sealant on the outside lip of the seal before tapping it into place with the old seal.

[@smw142]

All his videos are great, but this is the first one I found I didn't agree with 100% I think the red lock tight was a little much. But with it leaking around the outer diameter of the seal I guess he didn't want to chance it.

[@SuperKris42]

My oil seal blew out because of crank case pressure,after 3 attempts found out the hole behind the seal which you mentioned,was clogged!

[@williamwilliams3200]

quick question: how would you know for sure that you're not too deep when putting in the new seal? i do not what to be out too far either. thanx.

[@blmeflmm66]

william williams I'm sure after doing so many of them, he can tell by sight what right looks like within 1/32 or better. But you can simply measure the thickness of the seal vs. the depth you don't want to go past. Or you can get a seal installer that bottoms out on the outside ensuring correct, uniform depth. You can make a witness mark before you remove them, but then you're betting that the person who installed it before did it right. That's not a risk I like to take. Though once removed, you can measure and tell if the witness mark is good or not.

[@joebrock9784]

We use permatex the right stuff and put the right stuff around the seal the seal it and let it dry but very thin coat right around the edge like you're doing there with the loctite learned another trick from old musty that's what he does because one time he got a tractor that the case was worn enough she wouldn't stay up in the hole you can't leaking around it and that's what he did fix it
