Do you have a video on how to repair the self propelled drive?

[@JonnyDIY]

No sorry but its belt driven under that front plastic cover

[@RetroCheater81]

@@JonnyDIY yeah i just found out how to fix it yesterday. Grass was covering the bolts so i couldnt find them. The belt just slipped off. This video did help a lot though I would have spent and hour looking for a drain plug. Thanks!

[@ethanog2659]

i have oil in my air filter. what should i clean it out with. same with the outside of the mower oil started to leak out

[@JonnyDIY]

If paper oil filter Id just replace if all soaked in oil. Then to clean oil, rags and soap and water will work 👍

[@ethanog2659]

@@JonnyDIY thank you i already bought the filter i just didnt know what to clean it all out with

[@JonnyDIY]

@@ethanog2659 you could try putting rice on it to draw out and soak up the oil

[@Blue-rw9kj]

Appreciate it, ha, looking for the drain plug, you solved my problem!

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, glad to help. I did the same thing when first got mower. Couldnt believe there wasn't a plug, ohh well not too big of deal

[@DannyBoy51031]

Should the dipstick rest on the threads or screwed all the way down when measuring?

[@JonnyDIY]

I screw it down all the way when checking 👍

[@Brocko2891]

What's the part number on the side shute discharger?

[@JonnyDIY]

not sure sorry

This is kind of brilliant, in actual fact.

Thank you 👍

[@swaha55]

Thanks for the video. I have a Troy-Bilt 7.75 Briggs and stratton mower. i have been told to use straight 30W for the oil but you are using 10W-30. Is that just as good to use? Also have you had luck with just using a carb cleaner to get the lawnmower starting again after it has not been starting?

[@JonnyDIY]

Straight 30 is fine also, either one will work well. 10w30 is more readily available and I always have on hand. But you could buy a quart of SAE 30 and last you a good while. Yes carb cleaner is fine, just remove air filter and spray in there. I usually use a fuel stabilizer in my gas so I dont have to worry about no starts after leaving in storage 👍

[@edgardomatos6923]

Hey johnny , great video. Had customer give me the same mower . Looking for a rear bag . Ill check your link for , air filter. Ill use the same oil you used ..thanks ...i subscribed

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks, happy to help! 👍

[@ghostmantagshome-er6pb]

cool. thanks.

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome, happy to help 🙌👍

[@sroysr]

put remove the gas cap and put a plastic baggie over the hole. then screw the cap back on tight and the gas won't leak out when you tilt the mower over to dump the oil. don't forget to remove the baggie when your done.

[@JonnyDIY]

thanks good idea. On mine the gas leaks onto air filter if I dont empty tank or at least remove filter

[@sroysr]

@@JonnyDIY mine too. a friend of mine that does small engines for a living tipped me to that. i did it with a rider too and it works

[@JonnyDIY]

awesome will give it a try next oil change time. thanks for sharing 👍🏻

[@BuddyBearCreator]

This type of maintenance would cost around $50 bucks at your local repair shop! thanks for savning Buddy Bear some good old fashioned $$$ dough !

[@JonnyDIY]

Ohh yeah easy $50! Neighbor moving gave to me. This thing hadnt been gone through ever I dont think. Im sure the blade had never been sharpened thats for sure!

[@davidphillips2259]

The a screw by blade to do oil.and allways take plug wire off first

[@RossTheBossTrotter]

Thanks!!!

[@donnabagwell-q8s]

you did not change oil filter??????

[@JonnyDIY]

Walk behind mowers don't typically have oil filters. Ride on mowers usually do though 👍

@@edhaney1 dang, yeah you could use a siphone pump. Strange no drain. So stupid

[@hellsgatekeeper93]

I use a cheap transfer pump you can get at any Auto parts store. I have a B&S 675EXI Series and they say in the manual to just check and add as need but obviously its just so you buy a new one every few years. Its stupid they didn't add one to a log splitter​@PrimePredator

Haha I know right? How cheap manufacturers are not to put a drain plug 🙄

[@robertboyd3863]

@@JonnyDIY So do I , some are great motors,

[@zenspeed404]

It's in there: you just need to remove the blade, pop the plastic cover from the bottom, then unscrew the little widget blocking access to the drain hole, and there it is.

[@BuddyBearCreator]

Good AntiSieze commercial, I hope they give you money for plugging them! p.s. - so dumb ya have to tip it over ! Manufacturers' what were you thinking ?!

[@JonnyDIY]

Ohh I know! How cheap! No drain plug! My old mower has one but most new ones dont have plugs anymore
