Just a poor boy with a vision and a little willpower to boot. I enjoy tinkering with small engines. Seeing if we can't give them one last hoorah at life, a revival so to speak. How to's on repairs. Sometimes even a crazy build here and there. Also enjoy the lost art of bartering..Join me as I walk through this crazy thing we call life here at Smitty's Garage!

Thanks for video Smitty Similar to Rob here in Queensland Did our transmission belt yesterday no hip, wheel or clutch removal needed once belt was on transmission pulleys there was enough slack to clear clutch Not looking forward to deck belt expenditure Des
@@waughd it definitely was more involved than I envisioned it to be. Next time around, I'm going to give this gem of insight a try. I second you on the deck belt. Did one on that mower, I'll do a drive belt anyday over that. Than you for checking it out. Blessings and respect!
@@1SmittysGarage any chance you could share where you get your Kevlar belts from and the size of the deck belt I can see the transmission one in video
@@waughd if memory serves correct, I got both of those belts off Amazon. Kevlar belts are the way to go. I don't recall belt size as that was my neighbors mower and I was doing serval repairs on it. Blessings and respect
@@1SmittysGarage Thanks I will continue hunting
My guy Smitty 💪🏼💯💨💨💨 always keeping the Dream alive
@@SpACeCruizeR2o3 much thanks my man. Hope all is well your way! Blessings and respect!
Hi Smitty I appreciate your appreciation. Thought you might be interested to hear I am way over here in Queensland in the north of Australia. The deck belt failed at 230 hrs and I noticed the transmission belt was sus'. I decided to replace it (bugger the expense) and that led me to your video. I have subscribed to your videos. Keep up the good work. Rob
@@robbance7960 I have to say, still so cool someone from across pond checks out the stuff I do in my shop. I'm just a poor boy trying to make it. Thank you for subscribing! Much appreciated there! I don't get down to shop as much as once did, life just gets busy. But I do try every chance I get to chronicle what I'm doing at the moment. Blessings and respect!
😎👍😎
@@jerrybigrig9475 it's been a minute! Thank you for checking it out. Blessings and respect!
A little over the top Smitty. Jack up the mower untill good access for your particular size! Support! Remove both wheels (no need to remove black side "hips" ) Disenage deck tensioner and deck belt from clutch. Disengage transmission belt tensioner and remove pulleys. Remove transmission belt off fans and clutch as far as possible. Belt is now retained by small bracket and wire Remove bracket(1 bolt) Trace wiring thro to multi plug--- disengage. Voila belt is now free.
Have to admit, got a good chuckle on the until good access for your particular size 😂 This is good insight and true. I appreciate your feedback and insight. That's a great way to do all as well! Actually a refreshing comment! 💯 There's always more than one way to skin a cat. Just the path I choose. Thank you for the kind words and for checking it out! Blessings and respect!
after watching a few of these videos from this series, i wasnt sure I enjoyed the content. Pretty raw footage eventually got me. wouldnt mind seeing what came of this ole honda. have an 82 honda cb900f myself.
@@drakeb6168 I can understand that, everything isn't for everybody. Raw footage, I do try to keep it simple, uncut and let the failures sing just as the successes. It's been a bit since I last worked on it. Butt it's still sitting in shop awaiting it's turn. I appreciate your honest feedback and thank you for checking it out. Blessings and respect!

Good looking generator shed, thanks

Very informative video sir. True story April 24 I pulled a 82 xj650 out of a barn now I drove until November. Put away for winter. Last week I bought a 80 cb750c not running (100.00) so am watching your videos and taking notes thanks for the info
Thank you for the kind words! I had a 80' XJ650 I was working on bringing back to life. Engine had a hole in the block. Then I bought this 80' CB750F. I need to get back on it and work on it some more. It's really been a fun project. Just seems like life is being, well life and haven't had time. Here's to you getting yours running!! Again, thank you for the kind words and for checking it out. Blessings and respect!

@@demekamitchell1457 oh man, bet that does sound great. The opposed twins sound so so much better than today's v-twins. Blessings and respect!
What happens with your temperature gauge? Mine 1993 k1500 looks the same as yours.... Is that normal?
It's a weird setup, I'd say. But the temperature gauge, a year later still reads the same. Goes scary high at first then when thermostat opens drops low and maintains. That first warm up cycle, if not used to it will have you wanting to pull over lol.. Thank you for checking it out. Blessings and respect!
Nice job!
@@Zach492 Thank you for the kind words! Blessings and respect!
Awesome video love it I got the same motor tinker till they run I start em with a drill no rope no cover 36:08
@@Kenpingley thank you for checking it out. Very correct, sometimes it's trial by error just tinker with it troubleshooting the issues. Blessings and respect!
If you need fast answer whay the engine not have compresjon , do it leakdowntest
That's a good idea there! Blessings and respect!
Going to get mud daubers in there
@@REPR100 I agree. I have since put a screen over exhaust entrance. Blessings and respect!
Mine idles rough as well changed various sensors, she got kind of better. But what it does is that it stalls out/rough idles. In reverse. Other gears runs fine. Any idea of what this could be? Thanks.
That I'm not sure. I know with mine, it came out to be the distributor on the lower pick up coil. The RPM for reverse is much lower than drive gears. In my case there wasn't enough engine speed to compensate for faulty ignition. Blessings and respect!
@@1SmittysGaragedid you have to separate distributor shaft to replace lower pickup coil ? Ty
@@normanbaril8024 I believe one would have to. I wound up replacing distributor in all as it came with a new unit and wasn't much more in price.
@@1SmittysGarage I wanted to take round plastic guard over pickup coil assembly off to clean(as its corroded a bit) but I dont think it will remove without separating distributor
It's the part above pickup coil and enclosed together below rotor with the 8 bars for each cylinder spark. Not sure what it's called.
😂😂😅

I have this mower with about 150 hrs on it. This same pulley has failed twice already. The first time the bolt broke. The second time the bearings failed. Warranty covered it, but I'm sure this going to be a recurring issue.
