Thanks! I am glad my video was helpful. Sometimes I get a little too detailed on my explanations, but it looks like this one was helpful! I still use the same 520 to mow and snow plow. Great deal on the one you found..... Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

This refrigerator was super sensitive to high humidity and didn't like high heat loads or too frequent door openings 🙄.....I fixed it; ie bought an LG on discount. The old one is at a single friend's house and it has been working well; No changes or repairs 1-1.5 years ago

Thanks Zane! I was seriously debating on leaving the old belt for a minute.... Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I do too! I've owned this one for almost 20 years now. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks! 👍😁

Thanks! The amount of space for the belt swap challenged my sanity for a minute. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Yes, I have a couple though I'm not sure if they were very helpful in my work on Johnny #5. Send me a direct message on FB, Instagram or Gmail and I can try to file share them with your email address..... They are too big to email directly. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Hi ANDY, I would like to see the unedited version of this video, with sound. LOL ‼️

@@rammanjr88 I used some pretty interesting commentary, may have threw a wrench or two, and muttered some new combined versions of the classic F-bomb . In particular it became an adjective, noun and verb all on its own. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

No this is the automotive version, I believe Fitech sells one, or a different manufacturer, but the only difference I could tell from the specifications was a more waterproof ECM. It was double the price with a blue ECM. Thanks for watching. 👍😁

It took me two 12-14 hour days to complete the build. Add in a couple extra hours on top for rubber mulch and anchor installation. Organization is key, lay out all the pieces in order for a more efficient build. I didn't do this until day 2. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Yes, organization is key in this project. I laid out all the components in order on day 2 and it was a huge time saver. To finish the area I installed rubber mulch around the playset. It looks nice and helps cushion falls. Thanks for watching. You'll become your kids hero 👍😁

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It's difficult to find the right balance to please the masses. Some enjoy the extended explanations and others complain I talk too much 🙄. Pressure washing before the new belt would be ideal....I think my pressure washer needed serviced when this video was taken. Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

I think that is what they were trying to say, but it isn't correctly identified to me. 🙄 If you buy an electric motor it doesn't say 0-1125 rpm. It just says 1125 rpm. Thanks for watching and sharing 👍😁

I know. I’m with you. It was all sarcasm

Makes sense! Thanks for watching and sharing 👍😁

Good idea! I was worried about its clamping power on the sideways test. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

If this was a regular gig I would have a Milwaukee branded unit. I have used them before and they are niceeeeee! Also out of my price range by a large margin. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

It impressed me as well.....I will give it a more thorough testing during the dump truck build. I don't think the shavings will cause too many issues. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

That's why I was disappointed it didn't come as expected, but surprisingly it works pretty well at the higher speed. Time will tell how well the cutting edge holds up. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I wasn't lucky enough to get this one for free. The magnet power is something that may limit its abilities, but I'll see how this guy holds up. I hope to use it on all the frame drilling for the dump truck and Margaret. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Thanks, I don't disagree.....I wanted a whole seal kit, but couldn't find one available at a reasonable price. I took a stab in the dark sourcing my own piston seals for $6 or $8. They wanted $180 per kit at the tractor dealer 🙄.....So far she's still working good! Thanks for watching 👍😬

@@FlatThunder I get it. It's my opinion that a seal that is designed for the purpose intended doesn't have to be the exact same profile as long as it fits the groove . Also, I think that not all rings are of the same importance. IE, a wear ring might have a lot of life left in it as opposed to a gland seal ring. The seal ring is of course the much more important ring. A good catalog is extremely helpfull. Hercules has an excellent one. It's free. Good on you for fixing your own. It says a lot about your character.

@@edstimator1 I'll have to check out Hercules catalog. I have Martin Fluid Power's catalog. They are good, but don't always describe all the seal dimensions. 👍😁

It was a fun little project and we turned scrap into something useful! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

It sure beats trying to interpret sign language and hand signals 🤣. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

I try to sneak him in on occasion, even though he is a little camera shy. I think it will make for great memories later in life! I wish I had old videos of my grandparents to share with the kids. Thanks for watching and sharing my Friend! 👍😁

First time it was operational with a bucket in over 10 years I imagine! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Good idea, I'll have to try that out. I'm getting a little weedy around here. Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

This was a family job that wasn't billed out. If I had to guess $1800 - $2200 labor. Like most things I do, I'm no professional, just a guy with some tools. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

It's a great parking aid and safety feature while driving! Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

It took me two 12-14 hour days to complete the build. Add in a couple extra hours on top for rubber mulch and anchor installation. Organization is key, lay out all the pieces in order for a more efficient build. I didn't do this until day 2. Thanks for watching 👍😁

That's a lot of time on the open road! Unfortunately, I encounter quite a few unsafe drivers in the big box. Hopefully we never have to use it, but this camera records driving footage from all angles! It's a great safety feature! Thanks for watching my friend! 👍😁

Thanks Zane! It got to the point where I was more surprised when one came out 🤣. Happy Labor Day my Friend! 👍😁

Not going to lie, I thought about swapping the whole engine out at one point! I might have if I didn't have so many other projects. Thanks for watching my Friend! 👍😁

Just be careful it can't fall on anyone if it breaks..... It worked really well on this job. Thanks for watching 👍😁

Thanks for watching Zane! 👍😁

Only 10!? I'm pretty happy with the end product. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

To be honest, I never looked into a low oil switch on this unit. I think it only has a low oil pressure dummy light, but it's been a while since I looked at the diagram.

My wheel horse 212-6 has one.

I hate the fact that I had to wrestle these bolts out, but was happy with beeswax as a lube helper! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Don't knock it till you try it.... This was a suggested alternative to using traditional penetrating lube and this was my first attempt. I like it and will try it again on seized fasteners. I like that it's not flammable and isn't a chemical based product that burns off 😁. Bacon grease is also a great cutting lube, give it a shot!

The weld heated the bolt up, but the fastener needed to cool before extracting it. Weld the nut, cool the fastener, re-heat housing and lube it with beeswax. Melting the wax helped cool the fastener and lubricate it at the same time. Try it sometime 👍

The other two screws were not doing anything when I bought the unit. Might have to drill them out. Could get fancy with a threaded bushing or just thru bolt n nut those 2. Carbs are interesting little animals. My last stuck float seat was extracted by heating, cooling with WD repetitively and ultimately saved via a left handed drill bit. Patience is key on these jobs though I frequently lack that skill.... Best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

@@FlatThunder yeah I tried all that for weeks got the the point I got mad enough and drilled it out lol. Thank you

@@malachismith1561 sometimes it's your only option.....Buy a set of left handed drill bits. When I have to drill out bolts I use those and sometimes they magically spin out. Cheers 👍😁

I'm no expert, but in my opinion it could be a couple different things. Leaky or worn valve seals will cause a small amount of oil to leak into the cylinders. This can generate a small amount of white smoke at startup. Second is water burning off. Condensation can be present in the exhaust or engine and it burns off quickly after startup. More serious issues are if it is burning off engine coolant from a damaged component within the engine. Also if it's a turbo the turbo bearings / seals could be leaking oil back into the exhaust. Lots of options for the culprit. I would closely monitor the engine fluids, possibly run a compression check and inspect the exhaust with the engine off to see if it's leaking any fluid other than water condensate. Best of luck on the repair and thanks for watching! 👍😁

Thank you! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Good points! The CFM increase / blower speed increase was required for this unit to push the cold air out the registers more. It worked before the swap, but the thermostat could barely make temp. The unit would run too much and the cool air was trickling out of the vents and settling at floor level. The increased flow pushes the cool air up and then it settles down. Heat mode might require a speed adjustment..... Thanks for watching and sharing! 👍😁

More flow = more thermal transfer ie. More heat from the furnace, more cool from the AC

@@marstedt Take your hand and move it quickly across a candle flame and then slowly. Which is going to transfer the most heat to your hand? In my area there are a lot of older water to air AC units. If the water coming out is too hot the flow is too low. If the water is not even warm the flow is too high. Rule of thumb is a nice warm water coming out is taking away the most heat efficiently.

you wrote: "...it's like running your hand across a candle flame quickly. Less heat is removed." That's not true or correct. The _HEAT_ flow is the same. The *TEMPERATURE* change is less.

@@PaulPassarelli Correct. The air will have less temperature change.

Thanks! The tag should tell us, but going off memory I think it's 98-99 vintage. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

@@FlatThunder that new eh wow

Good question! I will test the higher air flow when we switch from cooling to heat mode. I'll have a smaller pulley and the shorter belt prepared if a change is required. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

The answer is yes. The more airflow the more thermal transfer.

@@marstedt My concern was a reduction in rise and causing it to take longer to heat causing longer run cycles.

@@billygilbert7911 A "reduction in rise"?

@@marstedt With the increased air flow across the element if it was rated for a 10 degree temperature increase at 400 cfm, and the cfm was increased to 500 the rise should be less than 10 right? I'm probably using the wrong terminology.

Thanks Zane! This isn't my favorite content, but all in all part of what consumes my time. I had Margaret out the other day cutting a lap around the block. Thanks for watching! 👍😁

If it is blowing fuses, something is hooked up incorrectly and or you have some shorted wires in the system. Check the plug at the handle bars, those like to corrode and make for a poor connection. The rest is troubleshooting the wiring. A lack of spark is likely from the wiring issue, but could be the ignition box, 'black magic box'. These frequently die from jump starting the unit with a large battery. I hope you get it going again! Thanks for watching 👍😁

Vans are always extra challenging! It's on the outside? Must be leaking a little.... Hope you can get her all de-sooted! Thanks for watching! 👍😁

Thanks for watching! Happy Wheel Horsing 👍😁

I think it is a direct drive, but it's been awhile.... If the motor isn't seized I would inspect the prop connection. It could have sheared a key or wrapped something up binding it to the housing. If that isn't part of the issue I would guess it overheated or was ran without the proper oil mixture; consequently melting the piston into the rings/bore. Thanks for watching and best of luck on the repair! 👍😁

@@FlatThunder I think I might of broke it. I placed a drill on the top nut to try to break it free, no it spins and everything is free- but feel like something isn’t right. I get spark, get fuel, but maybe a broke a connector rod?

@@D.Trider take the spark plug out, put your thumb over the hole and pull it. You should feel compression..... All it needs is fuel spark and compression to make it go go. If you have all three then the mix / settings might be off on your levers / knobs
