Always love watching your videos Mr Pender. Love learning something new every video. Your videos has helped me get into lawnmower repairs as a hobby/sideline business.
Ya know what I like to do when I change the oil; I start the engine, let it run for a minute or two then clamp off the fuel line. That way when the carb bowl empties out the engine stalls and it’s warm enough to drain the oil. It won’t flood out when you tip it because the fuel supply is pinched off and then it’ll start right back up again. It’s better for the engine and you won’t contaminate that nice fresh oil with gas. Just my two bits, thanks for the video on that nice mower. Good to see that some folks take care of their stuff!
@@BrucesShop can’t do it with a Pulsa-Jet carb but at least with float type carbs it can be done. Took me a while to figure that out, I just got used to doing it the other way lol!
Bruce the OLD MAN from EP here saying just another good video this time you remembered the spark plug boot, good job. We find here that to remove all the oil with our Pela 6000 extractor we need to put one side on a 2 x 4 (the 3.5 inch side) to tilt the engine towards the dipstick thus we get all the oil.
I have learned a lot over the last few years on your channel, and inspired me to start a channel of my own. Great upload and glad to see that craftsman in good hands.
I like those older Quantum engines. Always seem to work really well. I just picked up one of those “Pender lifts" from Princess Auto, saves me from lifting them up on my service cart. Stay Safe. Rick
Good one Bruce! You know what - I am starting up the channel and do the prepare for launch. I hope to tell more on the next stream. You all inspired me go push the go button. Cheers!
A tune-up should be maintenance, not a repair. Meaning the unit should not be used so far/so long that it won't run at all without getting the tune-up done.
No We don't have cottonwood this far north. They are along the rive down south a few hours. This is poplar fluff. I am a 9 hour drive north of Helena Montana in Alberta Canada
When the mower started up first pull after the next day, I was very happy for you. As a mechanic, I know all too well the feeling of when you fixed something, and it was running. But then the next day the customer comes over, goes to start it, don't start, and the wave of embarrassment washes over you.

Glad to hear it. You made my day
@@BrucesShop he made your day by calling you Mister?
Nice work Bruce. Like the Fluke multimeter and the happy little Briggs.
Thanks 👍It is an actual tune up where the unit comes in running.
Great video Bruce! Enjoyed the demo with the spark plug! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I just learned something new from you Bruce. I thought all plugs had a resistor. Does one work better then the other. Stevo
I am not sure. The resistor helps in radio interference.

I will do that Thanks a lot. Why didn't I even think of it.

Clamping the fuel line is a big no no..
@@elcomandante9299 not if you use a fuel line clamp, been doing it for years.
That applies to any time you tip your mower on its side I suppose.
Thanks for the videos. Nice to see a newer Quantom still running.
Thanks for watching! These are the best mowers overall. They tolerate dust which is a big thing out here.

Ah - the sound of a smooth running Quantum - great video as always Bruce
Many thanks! I will email you now.

Great to hear! This is why i am on TH-cam. Hi from Canada
Hi Bruce. Your favorite, Red. Good ole quantum. Wish they still made them
Me too! I wished folks knew what a tune up is. This guy knew, but people have brought stuff in that isn't usable and they say it needs a tune up LOL
That air filter was fluffed up 🤣 Those old Quantum Craftsman mowers are great!
You got that right!
Bruce the great Mower man!!
You got that right!
Admire that beautiful GMT400....
I love it!
Awesome work Bruce
Thank you kindly
I noticed you didn't work on the carburetor- is uncommon to have to change it out- thanks great informative video
Yes t thevery least the jet-bolt needs cleaning. Thanks for noticing.
Sounds really good. Nice job Bruce
Thank you kindly!
How's she goin'? This is what you can a routine maintenance visit eh!! Nice job. Take care!!!
Yes, thanks, when they com in running it is a treat.
Nice Shiny Red makes the mower look new.
I love red mowers. Easy to sell too. not this one though.
@@BrucesShoptry some Meguiar’s Ultimate Black Plastic Restorer for the black plastic, works amazingly good. I even use it on all the plastic.
@@BrucesShop yes I find red mowers sell better than any other color (includes Toro and Troy bilt, plus red Craftsman)

Now you need to make a few videos. No pressure.
Why would a spark plug need a resistor on a mower Bruce?
It is to reduce radio interference.
Great job on the service...
Thanks again
HEY BRUCE !!!! Did you every order those 3M Roto Lok abrasive discs? You know, to use on an pneumatic air grinder to clean metal nice and bright.....
Yes i did. Amazon.ca Canadian Amazon
@@BrucesShop , what was your impression of their performance and how they would work for you needs?
Another day another mower ..You had an easy one which makes up for the really messed up mowers
It is great when a tune up is just a tune up.
Have you ever used a Treysit Sirometer? Curious what you think of them. Thanks
Yes I have. They are an older type of tach that uses vibration to indicate RPM. I hope I am right
Bruce's Shop - thanks for the reply.
Good job done Bruce👏
Thanks 👍
Bruce, what do you lube the plastic wheels with, thank you 😊
I use lithium grease or spray
Looking forward to seeing more creative videos like this one 👍👍
Thanks! Will do!
Another satisfied customer !

That is why i got into this to start this.
Nice work mate
Thanks for the visit
Lube those zed bends
Good point
A tune-up should be maintenance, not a repair. Meaning the unit should not be used so far/so long that it won't run at all without getting the tune-up done.
Right A tune up means they are running when they come in.
Don’t see many non-resistor J19LM’s any more. Good work Bruce!
I wanted to keep it. LOL
Good job brother.. another one good to go..
Appreciated
Cant beat a red mower with a quantum Bruce! Nice to see a mower that the customer takes care of.👍🇨🇦🇺🇸 Roger
So true
Expensive cables for that one. That is Cottonwood fluff from the female Cottonwood tree. Males don't make the fluff.
No We don't have cottonwood this far north. They are along the rive down south a few hours. This is poplar fluff. I am a 9 hour drive north of Helena Montana in Alberta Canada

Very true!. I have a chain saw coming back. ARGH !!!!!
That is the good plugs those non resistor

Bruce, I truly believe that you underestimate your value as an instructor to the upcoming generation.
Cool Thanks so much
I wish they could all be that easy
It is great when they come in running eh!!!!
Re-sale RED!!
exactly
Why spend so much effort and time with spark plug. They’re like 1.99. Just throw it out put new one in. Done in 10 seconds. Silly goose.
It isn't the price. Plus the cheapest plug up here is $5.99
