Welcome to 2 Labs Garage! What exactly is 2 Labs Garage? 2 Labs Garage is a TH-cam Channel that was launched in January 2022. The content is based on the creator's love of cars. Here I highlight maintenance, budget builds, tips and tricks, events, drives, and my favorite of all, revivals. I love to find a car that has not run in years, even decades, that has been forgotten and abandoned, unloved, and bring it back to a roadworthy status and in some cases even trophy winning show car. These are everyday ordinary older cars, no Lamborghini or Ferrari here, just Fords, GMs, Mopars, AMCs and who knows, imports aren't my thing but I'm not opposed to it (Mini Trucks). Most of all, I am thrifty and I will share my money saving tips and tricks, mixing in a little humor here and there. So come on, Lets find some old forlorn piece of American iron and bring it back to life! For my non automotive content, please visit and subscribe to Aaron's Creative Concepts.

RIDING LAWNMOWER ENGINE SWAP BRIGGS & STRATTON TO KOHLER

The engine on my Ariens riding lawnmower threw a rod through the side of the engine block. I looked on Facebook Marketplace and found a used Kohler engine for $60. I show here how I swapped engines to the older but more reliable Kohler. The $60 engine that was 20 years old turned out to be in surprisingly good condition and has made a pretty good replacement engine for my mower.

Geez rust is the worst 😢 great video! I learned a good amount 👌 thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
Thank you. I was freaking out. Replacement on Rock Auto, $10.99
Wow, a 1980 Imperial in there, kind of rare...
Is that still ppints or electronic conversion?

Just subscribe to you Was a good video enjoyed it I've done that many and many times I'm 73 And I'm still working on I got A72 Falcon ranchero That I'm working on You'll see that in videos upcoming So good luck with that have a good day stay safe my friend
Thanks for the sub!
Thank you for taking the time to document this. Your experience is appreciated! Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Need to do in the light.
Dealership said theymdont change actuators only housing ! $470 ridiculous or what!
I have been looking for how the fudge this clutch resets and now I know, only info I could fine was hydraulic or cable
glad it helped
Broooooo
Im having trouble getting the motor gear to mesh with the regulator
can you do a video on the odometer gear replacement :)
it's on my to do list
LMAOOO I love this
no problem
Two things really helped with re-assembling the motor/activator unit. The three bushings can be nicely held in place against the central gear using a HOSE CLAMP! Then, this set is easier to start to settle into the big plastic gear by using a C-CLAMP! Soon remove the hose clamp and continue to use the c-clamp to complete the insertion. Variously positioning the c-clamp over the new bushing "least inserted" and moving the c-clamp around makes for a process that is non-destructive of the new parts, which have to end up in a Very Tight Spot! AND be sure to align the assembly into the door the way it was, as the three bolt/hole combos were confusing and fought me until I got it right!
interesting! always open to new tips and tricks.
Good stuff man👍
Appreciate it
Hi
how are you
@@2LabsGarage doing good
Great video,thanks bro.
You bet
Does the neg battery cable remain the same ( grounded to engine block / frame )
yes the negative battery cable remains the same. I chose to add a second negative cable to the body mainly because I run a marine battery and wanted to balance the look. Come to find out it makes a significant difference having the extra ground. I recommend grounding to both but its not required
2 Labs Garage, I loved this video so much, I had to hit the like button!
You rock!
I’ve had mine for a few months and have had this issue since day 2; so glad to know it’s easy! I’ll be doing this tonight and I appreciate this video! If you do any other work on your wife’s Patriot please be sure to upload it!
FORTUNATELY FOR US ITS BEEN A PRETTY GOOD VEHICLE, THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT HAS NOT FALLEN UNDER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, OIL CHANGES, BRAKE PADS ARE LITERALLY ALL ITS NEEDED, WHICH I HAVE VIDEOS OUT FOR. IF SOMETHING COMES UP THOUGH I WILL SHARE IT.
@@2LabsGarage so far we had rear control arms and front shocks; plus the actuator which isn’t too bad at 150k. Wasn’t able to pick it up yesterday but will be today haha
How long was you hose from the oil filter adapter to where you put the filter underneath the battery?
the kit came with 7 ft, i used the whole thing cut in 3 so 3 1/2 ft +- total capacity with the bigger filter was +- 6.5 quarts
I'm doing the same bumper swap on my 64 f100, looks to be a very similar job with the same bracket spacers needed.
What make / model / year of vehicle is your 3g alternator listed for ...and what brand name is the alternator itself . I know some ppl are saying certain 130 amp 3g alternators dont bolt right in ...the alternator mounting holes are further apart than the 95 amp 3g alternators . I heard possibly the 3g 130 amp alternator for a 1993 Ford taurus with 3.8 liter will bolt right in ??
If I remember right it was a 93 or 94 Taurus The mounting ears are opposite each other. the adjusting arm of the alternator bracket pivots, i had no issue mounting with stock brackets
Or just get a 2nd mortgage on ur home to buy a new one.
More fun to put junk together and make something usable
Question: Could the starter be removed once you removed that lower pan?
I have not seen any way to get it out short of pulling the engine, wedging a block in to hold it up vs completely removing the starter appears to be the only shortcut. If someone knows a better way I'm all ears cause this is a real pain to change the starter on these
I have a 01 sierra 4.8with 450.000 perronsisima cut
They are fantastic trucks. I wish I could go back in time and get about 10 of these or the pre wasp front Silverados. They are good riding comfortable tanks.
Love the ford Gernoda. My favorite car. Love the shape ( body style ) rear lights. Wheel tubs around all the tires. Grandfather owned one ( not sure the year ) I grew up with it. Thanks for keeping them around.
Thank you. hopefully once the new garage is built it will be returning to the channel
Thanks for posting this, it was super helpful for me. Need to change starter. I like that you did it without hoisting the engine out but just wedging the engine up with wood shims
Glad it helped
"I'm no professional" Proceeds to be a shade tree professional... Great vid dude
I appreciate that!
Liability bud, Its unfortunate the world we live in. I gotta make it clear that if you do what I say you are doing so at your own peril. I don't always do things by the book, OSHA would shut me down with a quickness.
Hey man, I'm the happy owner of a 1965 4 door Tempest. Same engine as yours, but you have a much nicer paint job. It's as close to a GTO as I will ever get, and I don't mind that's a 4 door, I'm sure that's why I got it so cheap. I'm about to replace my carburetor as well but am sticking to something more stock looking. Hopefully I can get it running as good as your car. Old Pontiacs rule!!!!
Very cool!
Thanks a million for sharing your pioneering spirit and knowledge…very helpful. Ron H

I thoroughly enjoyed this video.
thank you. it seemed like everything that could go wrong did. I considered scrapping the whole video but thought my misfortunes may help someone have an easier time plus have a good time at my expense
This is Grave Digger 2 on the new chassis after a crash snapped the frame in half back in the 90s.
Thank you! Your video helped a lot, I wouldnt have been able to this without it! The fastener union clips snapped on both sides unfortunately but, I was able to zip tie the lights to the fasteners hahaha. They are holding good tho. Thanks again for the helpful video!
Glad it helped!

Hey Wire is expensive, I match gauges and do 1 at a time paying attention. if i was doing a harness, long runs or multiple at the same time, I would be picky with the color choice
Where is the black push wire on your alternator go to on wiring loom
I actually made a video just for you quickly explaining the wiring. th-cam.com/users/shortsW5nBSZLor-o?feature=share
You get what you pay for. Adding material for more strength is making it more precise for your intended use. At least they put everything together in one place for you to start with. That thing works fine on smaller tires right out the box.
still working great with thin enhancement, just used it again last night
Can you provide a link to them. I will try them on my 99 and see if they fit without any cutting.
AFTER RUNNING THEM A COUPLE MONTHS IN MY CAR I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS BRAND IN GOOD FAITH, I CAN ACTUALLY SEE MORE ON LOW BEAM THAN ON HIGH, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS BRAND DOESN'T DO WELL IN THE GRAND AM HOUSING OR IF ITS SOMETHING ELSE STILL I SEE BETTER THAN STOCK BULBS, I THINK ANOTHER BRAND MAY DO BETTER. THEY CAME FROM AMAZON. THE BLACK AND YELLOW ON THE THUMBNAIL WAS THE ACTUAL BOX
@@2LabsGarageI know the housing are not good for led bulbs but i would be willing to try a bulb that i know fits without modifications. Unfortunately i'm not sure what you mean by thumbnail and i spent a long time looking for that box on amazon and ebay with no luck. I replaced my stock crappy fog lights with very nice Pia lights so i rely on those to be able to see. I think the problem with the high beams is the housing but i would be happy with better low beams. I may just order the best led bulbs i can find and cut the plastic behind it if i have to. I also removed the crappy plastic reverse lights from the bumper and replaced them with metal led lights.
You deserve more subscribers 🙏🏽
Thank you very much, that's very kind of you. I'm Trying
Thanks for sharing . You did the smart thing by leaving long enough wires on the old external voltage regulator wiring harness for any possible future projects etc . I know in the past I personally have cut the wires off right close to a harness & later regretted doing so ...as the old harness became useless for a spare part or future projects ...so NEVER again I told myself
I need to pull that Falcon out of storage and get back to work on it, It was supposed to go in for 3 Months so I could enjoy the fall driving season with the vehicle that was in storage... that was a year and a half ago

Go for it!
Maybe you could help me out man, because I purchased these 1999-2005 PONTIAC GRAND AM LED DRL HEADLIGHT LAMPS and my mechanic says he can't fit the bulbs in the the header panel, says the lights can go in but not the bulbs with the lights. Are the LED lights more difficult to install compared to standard ones?
Well done
Reason they didn’t put the bolts back in is because they spin after u get them so far
Came in handy when I needed to run a wire into the cab
