We filmed that video probably a month ago and I was with Laurence and Phil last week and the seal is still good no leaks. Now there’s yur din din!

Fun fact you could of ordered oil seal kit for Chinese quad Amazon 6.95 same size seal

[@coryaboydcoryaboyd]

I put in a brand new gasket exactly like you did in the video and within a couple weeks, mine was leaking again.

[@laurencelangley1882]

Hey Grass Rats!! Laurence here from BATTERY. Its was so cool to meet Taryl, Junior and Slippers and have a jam with those guys! They're all amazing musicians and really nice guys! Thanks to Taryl, Junior and Slippers for including us in their video. I was an honor. We had so much fun. We've been watching Taryl's repair vids for a few years now and we've been big fans. Now we're followers of TARYL and proud to be included in the Grass Rats family!!!! "And there's your dinner"...

Taryl, in aviation & marine applications we’ve used Loctite 1525607 Aviation Gasket Sealant on shaft & linkage seals that don’t seat snugly in the casing. In your latest situation you’d tip the machine to stop the lube from draining and apply the sealant to both the outside surface of the seal and the mating surface of the transmission case. It’s good stuff when you need to be 100% sure the seal is not going to pop out at 20,000ft or the middle of the bristol bay. Cheers!

[@mmccon2007]

Loved it! As a fan of Taryl (and company), Metallica, and Battery, this was a lot of fun. Those guys from Battery were naturals in your skit and I got a good laugh out of it. Perhaps you could bring them back for another skit? I bet the Bass player could throw Uncle Andy into the next county, LOL! 🤘🤘

Great job on the seal replacement. When it comes to quality, you don't get what you don't pay for. Looks like you had a great time jamming with the guys from BATTERY. Thanks for the vid and keep up the good work. Today is Memorial Day, pause for a moment and remember those who sacrificed it all for the freedoms we enjoy today.

Had an awesome time working with Taryl & Jr. & Slippers..... there's your dinner!!

[@stevanrose7439]

That was a good repair. What I’ve done in the past on seals like that is put the black silicone on the outside of the seal before I taped it in. 👍👍👍

[@JeffBNH]

I would have ran a thin film of Right Stuff around the outside of the seal, and oil on the seal lip inside then install it. Let it cure for a few hours. I have very good luck doing that with vehicles cam and crank seals. Volvo's are notorious for spinning out camshaft seals. Love your videos Taryl and crew!

[@donaldfranklinjr7087]

Awesome job taryl fixes it all

[@Slim..]

Thank you Taryl. I own a Arienes mower Ikon XD just like the one you repaired. I hope I don't ever have to change that seal, after watching your video I think this old 71 year old could get it done.

[@mtwseneca]

Would be a good idea to clean and RTV it now. I did think if Taryl does another one- tilt the machine up on one side=no leak with the seal out.

[@davidfulps1642]

I just had this happen this week while mowing. The left steering side was dead in the middle of the yard. I only have 100 hours on my Ariens Ikon XD 42".

[@mbrockstar420]

Just bought a craftsman zero turn with this trans in it and after 4 months I have this problem. They told me they would warranty the parts but not the labor... They will pay for a $2 pc of rubber but not for someone to put it in.. After I dropped 4 grand on this hunk of rattling scrap metal. I will never buy craftsman again. Thank you for the video HUGE HELP!!

[@philliphall5198]

Crazy stuff as always Good laugh again and information Thanks 😊

[@arthurgumbus3969]

Jeepers Taryl... on my SCAG, there is both a drain plug, a fill nut, a filter and on the chassis a nice large access hole for the fill nut plug. SCAG designs their mowers for servicing... HUGE difference. Kudos to SCAG... not so much for Ariens. Live and learn. These little details sure make for an enjoyable maintenance experience. Sorry you had this one in the shop. But those guys look like you did good by them.

[@markoaks8694]

That new shop is NICE!

[@randb4865]

Hi Taryl, thanks so much for your videos!

[@scottsatterthwaite4073]

Awesome design! Make simple maintenance so labor intensive that it becomes cost prohibitive. That should speed up the replacement cycle by a factor of two or three.

[@johnlease2369]

I know how you feel, changed rear-ended fluid on a husky tractor and what a pain. No drain plug either, used a vacuum pump to remove oil and at least manufacturer list how much to put back in. Oh ,did this because once tractor warmed up it slowed down when driving it. Keep dem dare videos coming men.

[@petecolborn4289]

Nice video. Fun to watch. Looks like a design flaw. There should be a shield over the shaft and seal to keep the mowing debris from getting packed in there.

[@jeffpiatt3879]

Made my Sunday! If you buy a Feris mower, you get hydro drive oil tanks that are easy to fill and nice cartridge filters that are easy to change.

[@ScottGovey]

Great vid as always taryl, had a commercial bobcat come in the shop with leaking park shaft and control shaft seals, hydrogear wouldn't warranty it. Same situation the seals spun in the housing, I always put a thin coat of silicone on the outside of the seals and hammer them in. Learned that trick back in the 90's on ford escort cam shaft seals, they would spin in the head and leak. Used that trick ever since and had no issue's. Thanks for all the info you share to the world!

[@michaelglynn2638]

What a great episode! Great sports Battery are too. Nice fix 👍

[@jamesweidinger1117]

Unless they are proprietary seals usually have an identification number on them, or they will have three two digit numbers molded into the face of the seal. The numbers indicate the ID, OD and width of the seal. Armed with that info any decent bearing house can order them individually.

We used to have a lead guitar player in BATTERY who lived in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. We spent a lot of time out there. Good times.

[@timlong2417]

Fixed one of these this morning. Took a 23x12x7 oil seal and put it on a bolt between 2 flat washers with a nut holding it. Chucked the 5/16 bolt in a cordless drill and spun it while sanding about 0.5mm off of the outside diameter. Then installed as usual. Was a great fit with no leaks.

[@DaveMatthews-o6t]

[@robertmedina6875]

You can get a hand pump or pneumatic stand up pump and pump all the fluid out of the transmission. Great video!

[@baratono]

Ariens used to stand behind their stuff even if it was past warranty. I've owned various Ariens snowblowers for the last 50-odd years, but I'm looking at other brands now.

[@modoc852]

Most of these companies have become the proverbial manure spreader salesmen…. They won’t stand behind it!

[@leonhart2452]

On a seal like that I use a sealer like Three Bond like what motorcycle engine cases get sealed with. A coat around the outside of the seal. This eases the install and some gets pushed out along the seal to form a bead around the edge of seal and case.

[@andyhamilton8940]

How to fill, put machine on its side, 17:26 pour a bunch in through the axle before you replace the axle seal, turn back over level and wait till it stops dripping, then put seal back in.

Would love to see a video on my bad boy mz magnum on how to adjust it to drive straight with both levers pushed forward forward.

[@partymanau]

Got an MZ, old model. Check ur lever stops are even both sides. Adjust the tierods from levers to gearboxes. Usually u only need adjust 1. U should find when they are equal length they are correct. They are buggers to get at but take ur time. Adjust a liitle at a time, leave adjusters finger tight until u r sure u got it right. Test on level ground as a slight incline will make mower drift to one side. The only real trouble I have had with the MZ is dust in the various switches. Blow out with air, never use CRC or WD40 as this collects more dust. I would like to say "Theres ur dinner" but Taryl might have it copywrited hahahaha.

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey Taryl a mechanics dozen Hahaha. I thought that one guy was Steve Small Engine Saloon making guest appearance. He talked like him. Can’t wait for the jam session. It looks like factory couldn’t tell difference in seals and installed wrong seal to begin with. Excellent video

[@garyfox8170]

Awesome colaboration.

[@whip-its_dad4239]

A little tip Taryl Dog , I would put silicone around the outside of the seal . It acts as a glue to keep the seal from spinning in the bore and stops the leaking from the outside of the seal .

[@TarylFixesAll]

You mean like at 17:17?

[@Bagooda]

What a wonderful piece of engineering that baby is. Somebody who claims they can design anything because they have a program sitting in his pajamas in the dining room designed that for Ariens for $250,000 so they could send it to China where there's no manufacturing quality control for Ariens. Gone are the days when an Ariens machine lasted for 30 years. P.S. I forgot- LETS RAAWWKKKK!!! P.P.S.

I have used two fine thread drywall screws to pull these. One on each side. Srew them in and it will push the seal out. Crank seals as well :)

[@billmalec]

Guarantee Motion Industries has the seal. If I can get seals for a 1986 Husqvarna dirt bike (shock seals, wheel bearing seal, fork seals, etc) from them, they'd have that. A seal is a seal. They all spec them from the same place. I know you know to lightly drive a screw or two into the old seal to remove it.

Hey Taryl, how did you get the fluid to go into the case? I'm filling it using the breather plug you showed but the fluid jut pukes back out every time. It looks like it's full even though it's been leaking for over a year and I lost about a quart when the seal was out waiting for the new one. I started the mower and even ran the wheels back and forth for a while but no luck. Thanks.

Taryl, Just a tip for those seals. Just use a screwdriver and a coarse drywall screw and it pulls right out. I've been doing it that way for years.

With HOP products, I sometimes had the customer call the customer 800 number and argue with the techs to ‎get some work done under warranty. Very often when I would argue with the techs on the dealer line and I ‎would get nowhere. But also often when a customer finally got through to the right people at Husqvarna's ‎customer service (that requires persistence), the company would call me and say they were going to fix it ‎under warranty. Since Ariens is now an HOP product, that is worth a try.‎
