วีดีโอ

I have really enjoyed watching your videos AND No stupid desperation rock music added to it. Thank You. Quite Rereshing and having taught 2 of my 3 sisters to do basic mechanical repairs I'm digging seeing chicks turn some wrenches And also be able to calmly explain what's going on. This will help me with my Variable speed pulley job !!!

If this happens on my mower I will just go without brakes.

Thank you subscribed

Not enough graph

Great video. Thank you.

mucho thankso

OMG I can't find any photos diagrams of how belts pulleys are routed. Had my brother in law "helping" and not much help. Can you?

Girl show us the part, flip it around., show us inside the tractor. Show us what we need to see and talk less.

Just loosen Phillips bolt on the bottom,easy peasy!! BS,stripped that chit out ,tried Vise Grips...nope,slid off!! Solution?? Drill bit that chitty Phillips bolt!! Slide shaft out,easy peasy!! Nope!! Bottom gears dont clear hole with plastic grommet further up,removed grommet, nope,still wont slide out!! Angle grind cut that shaft,there it is!! Now still had to "notch" that piece further up to accomodate the shaft,plastic grommet back in,new shaft other parts,fixed.

So i replace the hex bushing because mine was worn out. I changed the steering column because the teeth on the gear looked chopped up to. But now my steering is locking up. I cant turn left or right at all. Any idea whats going on?

Ok so, I have one completed rusted together, nuts and bolts too. Any suggestions on a product that I can use to free up some rust so I can replace the steering column and steering gear?

Where did you get the bearing

That bushing is very bad

Very helpful! However, my transmission pulley is now only moving when my deck is set the highest with or without the PTO engaged I’ll begin to stall at deck 4 or lower. I don’t see any debris. Stalls as soon as I release brake.

Still the best system for a riding mower and it’s cheaper to operate 😊😊😊 folks are finding out about the new types are good for 3/6 years is all This is the only old mowers guy here Period

Do you have a parts list? I found the break pads and the rod to the left, pr the longer rod but I can't find the one on the right side

What size Phillips is that? I want to get a socket Phillips to get mine off

A few years ago I had the same problem on my 2003 Craftsman LT2000. The blades wouldn't engage easily and then wouldn't disengage. Someone else on TH-cam showed that there are two different ware points on the plate. One point caused the hard engaging and the other the disengaging. Instead of replacing it he showed how to grind it down to the original profiles. Been fine now for the last three years.

Think I'll use a crows foot on that big pulley nut.

I got a Troy Bilt 2007 Briggs mower twin valve. I had a hell of a time getting the new drive belt on the variable speed pulley. The pulley is so close to the frame I couldn’t get the belt in, I had no idea how to loosen the pulley. So I just took off the entire back plate of the tractor and I think the lower part of the tractor dropped a little and gave barely enough space to put the new belt in. I looked underneath and there were like 3 bolts is what they looked like and I figured it might be those but wasn’t sure and didn’t want to risk messing something up. Any advice? You think those bolts underneath where the pulley is at are to loosen it? Let me know if you’ve worked on one like that.

I don't run crapsman anything. Name brand quality is the way to go .

What part number is that? Thanks

Ok , let me tell you how I get the 7/8 nut off the top drive pulley I use a grinding bit and just grove out the cross bar , it’s so thick it will not hurt it😊

I have a 2024 Troy Built Pony. The second time I cut grass with it, I made a sharp right turn and it slowed down. It appears to have lost the upper speeds. What would cause this? Please pm me directly about this

I think to get that belt off on the bigger pulley you have to slacken the bolts on the right axle and it will drop the mower enough to get clearance of the belt. This was very informative. I just bought one of these in very good conditions so I'm just watching as much videos as I can to be able to service it when i run into problems

Soo??

drop the trans .

Long metal shaft inside metal bushing, no lubrication. Lots of debris. What could go wrong... Just how cheap are today's mower makers?

Beast mode 💪 🍺 helped with my issue

I inherited the same mower deck. Replaced the idler bracket and spring. One of the brake arm springs was also missing on the brake arm opposite side of the deflector. After I replaced the spring on the brake arm, the spindle keeps grinding against the new spring making a loud noise and I don’t know what’s misaligned to cause the spring to be so close to the spindle to make it grind. I just jumped the gun and ordered whole new parts. 😢

Well, I’m a male mechanic “masculine” but thank you for your video. I’m about to do this to my Troy Bilt right now.

Hey, that’s what I’m doing today, the drive belt got caught up on a stick & the belts got tangled up. What I found to add to the problem the variable pulley’s nut/bolt must have come loose & then the whole assembly just popped out of the hole. The bolt hole is kinda messed up on the threads , original is just gone . Question? What is the size & thread count for the variable pulley so I can get a new bolt & washer ?

Thanks for the list of parts and numbers It helps ❤

Okely dokely! 🔧👍

Totally agree💯

The ones with play definitely need replacing but the others I pop the seals out of and grease

Good job! Unfortunately I have the 2015 HD 44 model 991090 and have attempted to put on several 1/2 x 67 belts and they are too short. I have discovered the fastest and easier way to put the belt on is to disconnect the pro hardware as you showed and remove the right side fan/pulley and tension pulleys. 1. You can feed the belt through the right side fan hole between the tension pulley pivot bolt and tension pulley to the open area behind the left side fan and easily wrapped around fan and pulley. 2. Wrap belt around PTO pulley and use a medium binder clip to keep the belt from dropping off the pulley. 3. You can then install the belt on the right side pulley (last pulley as per Gravely instructions). Mine takes a 67.47" or a 4L68 (67.75") because the true 67" belts are too short and can't even be forced on. Hope this helps someone with the same model and year.

Use fire.

Thank you!!!

They AllWAYS say replace the starter and I checked it, i explained the cam problem, well they are hard headed people, replace starter Still the same but they can’t return the starter lolol 😊

On one of my riding mower like this with bar in the way I just grind it back enough to put my socket on it Lolo😊

10 min with a drill bit and correct tap would have removed the broken bolt and lock tight without much trouble. I Wouldn't want to charge customers for a new pulley that's not needed.

My favorite Mechanichics video!!!

I took a new Philip #3 bit, cleaned the end of the old shaft with break cleaner and JR welded it in. I came back the next morning and it came right out without any camming.

I replaced the Phillips screw with a bolt, but now it keeps coming loose every time i turn the steering wheel. Anyone else had this same issue? This is second time i replaced my steering shaft 1st time I didn't have this problem but now the bolt keeps coming lose every time I move the steering wheel. Any help is much appreciate

Goff tee work great to plug fuel hose ❤

Thank You for video and hopefully you’ll get more feedback and sub soon 😊

That has to be the laziest way to make the starter smaller, they could've at least made the "lobe" rounder.

I watched your video and had a motor with the same issue. Put a used cam out of another motor in. I see the slight bump of the compression release but it doesn't seem like enough. Valves set at .005. Do these wear out? Still getting stuck on compression stroke

Just found your channel. I’m working on one of these mowers today. You now have your 120th subscriber! I’m looking forward to more of your videos. 🦅🇺🇸
