Don’t know who you’ve been listening to, Kyle, but I for one am certainly interested in entire engine rebuilds, outside AND inside! 😉🔧👍 In the case of this machine, I would much rather have seen everything you did. It’s all about the details - that’s how I learn.
I’m listening to TH-cam analytics. Nobody watches the videos I make about engines. I have more subscribers than views on those videos, so the conclusion is that even subscribers of my channel won’t watch them
@@Rein_Ciarfella I’ve never claimed to hold all the knowledge, I’m learning too. But you’d think small engine guys would watch an engine rebuild. Maybe this one will seem more appealing!
Kyle, I’m not convinced that your conclusion, based on Google analytics, is valid. I can’t say why, to be frank, but my gut tells me your video library at this point is too small to be statistically valid to draw those sorts of conclusions. What I can say is if you continue doing your best to create with excellent production values, eventually the viewership will change and grow as your videos get into more feeds. It would probably also help if you commented in other creators’ channels, as some of the best channels I’ve discovered were from following up on commenters to see what they did on their channels. Also, for an example of someone who produces extremely detailed and very long videos, often including total engine rebuilds, James Condon has an extremely successful channel. My research indicates he’s pulling down in excess of $24K/year from TH-cam and his are the longest videos I’ve ever seen. He recently did one that was 2 hours and 8 minutes long. Surprisingly, he chose not to make $ from advertising, so there are no interruptions in his videos. He’s totally transparent when he screws up and he responds to as many comments as he can - just as you do - and for me that’s a way to get a loyal viewership and grow your channel really well. Alex does the same and I watch him just as much, for the same reason. FWIW, in 3 years I’ve logged well over 5K hours on TH-cam, teaching myself small engine work. I get notifications from about 20 channels and am subscribed to about 60. For me, it’s TH-cam University and I’m about ready to complete my Master’s thesis. 😉🔧👍 I’m also in many Facebook small engine groups, although I don’t learn as much there. That said, there are some very knowledgeable people in some of those groups who put in a lot of time helping others. I also contribute here and there to pay it forward when I think I can actually help.
Thanks I appreciate that! Don’t worry, I’m not making plans to stop engine related content. But I can’t help but notice what videos of mine do well and which ones don’t. Maybe someday I’ll be able to make a 2 hour generator video like James (he’s awesome).
Excellent job as always Kyle. Your channel is going to get big quickly with the videography and hard work you are putting into these machines. That vanguard is running like a top. Make the videos the way you want to. If you want to show a rebuild just do your thing. Keep up the awesome work. 😎😎
Throttle cable appears to be on the wrong side of the throttle lever pivot. Looks like it speeds up on "turtle" and idles on "rabbit". Paint looks great!! $1200 sounds right.
Well MR Kyle your Advice was Right on I found a 21 HP Briggs & Stratton Intek V Twin Engine for $60.00 Brought it home & it Bolted Right on to My Mower the Only Problem I've found so far is that the Starter turned Slowly but I'll fix that. I Thank You so Very Kindly for your Expert Advice & for also taking the Time to Answer My Question
@@tommccully1991 That's a good upgrade. I have a 40 inch cut murray it had a 12.5 horsepower Briggs, I switched to a 25 horsepower Kohler. The wiring was a little different, my biggest problem was the Briggs had a 1 inch crankshaft and the Kohler 1 1/8 . I was fortunate I had the complete mower a Craftsman GT 5000 I used the transmission pulley and then welded other parts together so I could use the manual deck engagement. Works very well. No grass to tall, or too thick. Would enjoy hearing how your engine swap went. Glad you enjoy your mower.
@@bertgrau3934 Mine went Fairly well & easy the Kohler pulley Drive Belt shaft slid right on to the Briggs Crankshaft & bolted in easy. The Engine I bought had been sitting in the Snapper Lawn Tractor out in his Yard for awhile as the Starter was fairly Rusted & Turned slowly at First Starting Attempt. but took it off cleaned up the Inside now I just have to put it back together in the Next Day or two the only that really stumped me for awhile at First were the wires that came out from under the Briggs Flywheel. But by looking at a Couple of Wiring Diagrams i figured it out. I also worked as a John Deere Apprentice Mechanic back Home in Canada for a Good Bit that's how mine went Thank you for your Interest Sir
That is a great video sir. The paint job and the engine rebuild. It sounds like new. Looks better than new. Not sure what it would go for in my area. Northwest Arkansas. I hope you make lots of money though. Good luck Sir 😊
I fixed the sickle bar mower. I only filmed a few minutes of footage on it. Maybe it’ll turn into something worth posting. But I have it listed for sale right now!
Not saying you were wrong mounting the deck, just an observation. It looked like if you first installed the lower bolt on each side, you could then raise the front of the deck to align the other ones. May have been less work than trying to move the main frame.😮 BTW, I would have watched the long version of the rebuild. 😊
I would have really liked to have seen the full rebuild on this engine because it’s different than than most of the Briggs and Stratton 6.25hp engines everyone rebuilds! Thanks great video!

Those engines are the best Briggs engine you can buy. They only hold a quart and a half of oil so it looked to have plenty in it.
Except for that whole blown rod situation
Kyle, i throughly enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot and now I buy and flip equipment. Thank you for your uploads sir. Keep being awesome 😊
Thank you!

Rewatch 35:06. I thought the same thing at first. But it’s actually correct
Nice job, everything looks great!!
Thanks!

Pretty sure you didnt change it right
Engine could have melted down, and you would’ve still have gotten a good deal .
Haha. Good point!
I got a brand new Honda 630 that I could set right on it 😊

Thank you! I put it up for $1500

I hope you get every penny sir.
@@bertgrau3934 thanks! But im sure it’ll be closer to $1200
Nice job
Thanks!
Would you be able to attach a sulkie to it
Doesn’t seem like it. At least not without modification
Id love to see full engine rebuilds too. Inside and out. Go ahead and post it will watch and learn
I want to see a vid on the sickle mower you did a amazing job on this one cant wait for the next one
I fixed the sickle bar mower. I only filmed a few minutes of footage on it. Maybe it’ll turn into something worth posting. But I have it listed for sale right now!
Great video. I also like to watch rebuilds. Your very knowledgeable.
Thanks. Glad you enjoy them!
Did you try to replace the connecting rod?
He doesn't listen to us
Rebuilding engines requires a lot of tools and mic to do it right, not a thing for shade tree people
He doesn’t have to he alr does an amazing job

Nothing was easy about lining up those bolt holes for the deck. It just was what it was.
Sir she looks great and sounds very good congrations
I would have really liked to have seen the full rebuild on this engine because it’s different than than most of the Briggs and Stratton 6.25hp engines everyone rebuilds! Thanks great video!
I pretty much covered all the interesting parts. But it’s good to hear that you’d like to have seen more of the engine rebuild
It's fine
More than fine…
Was your father a mechanic or grandfather ??? Some of your tools are very old so I’m guessing hand me downs 😊
My grandfather was a collector and I have a good amount of his old tools
I love your videos I watch them all the time😂
That’s awesome to hear!

It’s a z bend. If you look close I correct myself with text on the screen
Just found your channel, subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks so much
@@Kylebythecreek No problem, we are mower fixing Christ followers also who just started our channel. Nice to find someone like minded!
@@BlackFlagGarage good to know!
Sir if you can you need to keep your mowers and lawn thing ing the dry do they won’t rust up just saying not trying to be a smart but
They are fine. At the dealer they just sit outside until someone buys them
Kyle, how could you possible put the pto on upside down?
Easy. I just put it on upside down
Probably should have replaced both pistons and rods- wouldn't trust old parts!
I’m always relying on old parts. Can’t replace everything
@@Kylebythecreek But parts inside engine aren't as easy as something on outside- you will learn the hard way!
@@GARYPETERSON-t9u but any used engine has “old parts”. You can’t possibly mean that you replace every old part before running an engine, right?
@@Kylebythecreek INTERNAL PARTS THAT WILL CAUSE MAJOR PROBLEMS-LIKE BOTH PISTONS AND RODS
@@GARYPETERSON-t9u I don’t think I’ll be replacing piston and rods on every used engine I work on sorry
