You know what I like mostly about your videos it ain't how to fix a lawn mower been doing that for years it's your garage I mean your shot your shop fascinates me I don't know why but it just fascinates the hell out of me I know it's took you years to get that stuff so it's fascinating to look around in there you should have a video on nothing but your shop one day
Taryl your amazing at what you do. I have learned more from you in afew weeks of watching your videos than 4 years in mechanics classes in school..... Well i been out of school 20 years, mabe its my memory.... :-) .... Regardless your videos helpped me take a motor bought 7 years ago bran new out of the 1981 frame i put it in and put it into a alot newer Agco Allis frame. This motor has mabe 4-5 hrs worth of run time on it so i couldnt let it sit un used any longer, or mabe i was just tired of using a push mower, even tho its self propelled :-) , yes i would turn it over every few months so there was no seizing going on anywhere, i did have to clean the carb out and jets.... Thank you so very much Taryl, my new riding lawn tractor is all done and ready to go now. Without your help i would still be out there bitching and yelling......I mean working on it... Keep up the great work, Again, Thank you!!!!!
good job Taryl, your knowhow has helped me so much. Keep up the good work as I' ll always be a loyal fan. love to come to one of the many events you attend.
when the mower is new, replace the oil with grease from a grease gun and it will never leak out. We did this with the pearless gearboxes on the old walker mowers and reduced gearbox failures by about 90 percent.
You mentioned the gearbox pulley was on upside down and somebody must have worked on it prior to you. I just replaced the hydro drive belt on my 2009 Classic 2760 and the hub on the pulley was on the bottom. I bought this new and nobody has ever removed that pulley so it was put on that way at the factory.
I would be using 100%synthetic Amsoil military spec.75-90 gear lub.Their stuff comes out of a laboratory,not out of the ground.I use it exclusively in everything I own and it DOES make a big difference Tayrl.I've noted my engines,gear boxes,diffs run about 20-30 degrees cooler using Amsoil products.
Thanks for the videos. They are very helpful. . I am trying to see the placement of the governor spring on a Generac GTV-760 (050582) engine that is on a Dixie Chopper zero turn mower. The spring came lose, and I'm unsure where it goes. Thanks.
I run 10W30 Super Tech Synthetic the engine starts easier and I am very happy with the oil all around. The oil is still good as new after a whole mowing season though I will change it before spring anyway. I cross referenced a Fram automotive oil filter that is designed for synthetic oil's against the Krohler part number. Works like a charm!
Can the top gasket for the Peerless T-Box be purchased separately? Just checked me fluid and it was fine but I destroyed the gasket. Thanks for the info.
April 2018 I drove 2 hours down to Albert Lea Minnesota to buy a complete not running Dixie Chopper Quad Loop 2002 for $100. It’s a 20hp 50” cut. The deck is extremely heavy and I think it’s even heavier than 60” Toro decks I’ve had. Two of the blades are on upside down. I’m hoping to get it running soon so I can work on my Toro 522xi.
This was one of my most hated repairs when i worked at a small engine shop, Would always be a mess and a total PITA.... I love Dixie Chopper mowers but damn... I even went to Dixie Chopper for service school and damn...
This is only a simple gear box, it needs lubricant, but it really wouldn't matter what is used, as long as it provides enough protection. The hydraulics are controlled by the pumps that are on both sides of this box, and don't use the oil that's in this box.
My 2000-2001 xw2500 the vent tube off t-box goes back into the oil tank for hydro does this model t-box use 15-40 oil like the hydro pumps there's no way of keeping the 15-40 out of t-box
My 2007 Dixie Chopper XG2503 has an issue going uphill with the left drive weakening. Seems to catch a little better when moving the lever back and forth. Already tried bleeding air from the system, and use Lucas 15W40 only. Only 300 hours on the machine. Any suggest help would be greatly appreciated???
Just gotta say... Taryl, you've given me the confidence to totally rebuild my little Snapper classic. All I have left is the clutch. It mows and runs strong but if it even looks at a slope.. it stops and I have to give it a little push from the seat. Maybe you'll be able to do a vid on it. Let me know how hard or easy it is.
I tend to use the hi tack on the side of the gasket the seals to the part that is easiest to clean next time. For example I glue the gaskets to the water pump (automotive). That way the next time the water pump needs replaced, the gasket typically comes right off the block. Also, when replacing a woodruff key, I found that tilting the key so it is slightly lower on the outside makes reassembly a little easier.
I got a question for you What would you recommend to clean out the gas tank on a Briggs and Stratton series 450 push mower it got a white Chrystal powder in it form sitting for a while with gas that dried up in it please let me know what I can use to clean it out cause I don't have a lot of money to get a new one thank you for reading this and keep the video's going there great
ADAM MOSHER I'm sure you have it going by now. If anyone needs to know, I've done it with nuts and bolts. Dump a handful in there and something liquid, whatever's handy. I used kerosine, about 1/2 a tank would be more than enough. Shake the hell out of it, drain it and check it. Should be good and clean. Might have to flush it or repeat the process a couple times. You can fish the nuts and bolts out with a magnet when done. I wouldn't get to violent with it either, you don't want a spark. The problem is, the carb. It's probably going to need to be worked over as well if the tank was dry and gunked up. I'd dare say it might be a seat/valve issue. It'll probably need gaskets to if it's been sitting to long.
You put high tack on the cover gasket so when you check it the gasket is going to tear when you take the cover off. Good video very informative thank you
Getting ready to redo mine today, I noticed that mower didnt have the origianal generac engine. Looks like its been repowered with a vanguard. good uprgrade! lol
Listen Nova! The lubricant must be able to flow into the bearing assemblies on either side of the T-Box. Will your grease flow like a liquid? Probably not. Especially at low temperatures. Therefore: NO, do not use a grease. You must listen to the Master (TD) when he speaks. The Master says: "The best tool is your...tap...tap...tap...brain!" Now, go back and watch the video again, and this time, pay attention to the Master!
put a little bit of motorkote in there its one oil supplement that works by keeping a layer of oil of the gears so if it runs out it wont destroy it immediately
I know this is stupid but at 9 minutes 17seconds your hand is beneath a screw/bolt type bar. This is what broke on my D.C. Z-turn (mower model 2348) and now RR wheel whines and moans and will not turn. For some damned reason I gotta say if anyone knows what this is it's gonna be you. Loved the video so now I'm a subscriber
“Get a paahhp er sumthin...”. Freakin’ midwesterners. ;) Taryl, I’ve got a Cub RZT50 with EZT drives I just bought used - 397 hours. The drives whine pretty good. Is that normal for EZT’s? I’ve got a Spartan with Parker drives that’s real quiet. Granted it’s new, and the Parker drives are better than the HG EZT’s, but the amount of noise coming from them is a little unexpected. I would rather catch a minor problem and fix things before it turns into a big problem. I’m competent enough to rebuild the drives - I just don’t have enough exposure to EZT’s to know what’s normal and what’s indicative of a developing problem. Thanks!
i would look up your model and watch some videos about it and see if yours is like thaht if its not then there could be wearing going on inside your gears
Hi Taryl love the videos..never had as much fun repairing mowers been doing it for years and can all ways depends on you for a good laugh and very useful info thanks a lot buddy.you should have thrown slippers out the window..lol..
Thank you Taryl for your videos. Love the way you explain all the little things to watch for when doing a job. Also, it’s nice to see work being done by someone who doesn’t wear those stupid looking sissy hand gloves. Everyone wants to look like there a surgeon or something. That’s what they make soap and water for. Keep those videos coming.
Taryl;Do you have the 4 bearings for the t-box or the part numbers need the 2 hydraulic pump outboard bearsings,2 pinion shaft bearings,gaskets and o-rings.dixie chopper 1992 xw 2303 60" deck.may I suggest espanding this video .remove pinion seal,snap rings,and bearings.thank you Sir.local dixie chopper does not list anything 10 years old and back.
I'm 5 years late to this party but, better late that never. Peerless T and L gear boxes used to come with Bentonite grease. It's a clay based grease and never leaked out. Stayed sticky to the gears and bearings forever.
you are the best teacher for fixing this stuff and you make it FUN" thank you" no showing us every turn of the screw
Best youtube channel on the interscreen !!!!
Taryl brings me joy every time I watch his videos. And man can he teach

Just pour lucas in it at that point. That's what I do.
00 Grease in mine.
00 Grease in mine.
Its Nice to See Someone Fix Something and Have Fun While Doing it, Love Watching Your Video's
On Buddies mower, was it the carburetor timing chain? I seen those carburetor timing chains fail a lot.
Always enjoy Taryl’s videos

Taryl. Great video. Q: what is tube on T-Box cover? Mine attached to reservoir.
Thanks Taryl, always enjoy the tech tips and the show!
That last scene is exactly how I feel after working with some of my customers!
I would be using 100%synthetic Amsoil military spec.75-90 gear lub.Their stuff comes out of a laboratory,not out of the ground.I use it exclusively in everything I own and it DOES make a big difference Tayrl.I've noted my engines,gear boxes,diffs run about 20-30 degrees cooler using Amsoil products.

Any recommendations on oil for a Kohler engines ? Thanks for your help . I have 3.5 hrs on the engine.
I run 10W30 Super Tech Synthetic the engine starts easier and I am very happy with the oil all around. The oil is still good as new after a whole mowing season though I will change it before spring anyway.

Did you have to drain fluids (hydro) prior to this work?
U are the man!! Thank you for all the helpful information you offer!!!!!
Hey Mr. Dactyl, how come you put that High Tack on the cover when yer gonna haffa get that off to checkit?
Hi I have a xf2700 dixie chopper. I want to change hydro fluid and filters. Do you have any info for that. Thanks
This was one of my most hated repairs when i worked at a small engine shop, Would always be a mess and a total PITA.... I love Dixie Chopper mowers but damn... I even went to Dixie Chopper for service school and damn...
Can you add cornhead grease or 00 grease to the box or will that negatively affect the hydraulics??
This is only a simple gear box, it needs lubricant, but it really wouldn't matter what is used, as long as it provides enough protection. The hydraulics are controlled by the pumps that are on both sides of this box, and don't use the oil that's in this box.
hey Taryl i just got done putting new seals on my tbox and filled it up and it foaming out the breather hose. did i over filled it?
where did you get the gear box. wondering if you can get them anywhere other than peerless
Slippers is alive!!! Great repair video Taryl. That guys buddy must have installed that there pulley upside down...
Lol! Great vid guys.good info on the "taryl box"install.
That front left wheel needs a look see.... Great video BTW.
My 2000-2001 xw2500 the vent tube off t-box goes back into the oil tank for hydro does this model t-box use 15-40 oil like the hydro pumps there's no way of keeping the 15-40 out of t-box
Good question so does mine.
Another great vid there Buddy!!!!!!
Excellent informative and funny as heck
Dixie rules
Thanks for the info and the great comedy.
Keep up the great work..
Came to this channel to fix my Toro . Very informative and entertaining.
Great fix Taryl like your style,good job!
This guy is the best ever!
Are there any videos on changing the hydraulic oil and filters
Can you tell me what year and model the chopper is that you are working on in this video I'm having a hard time here now what my Dixie chopper is
My 2007 Dixie Chopper XG2503 has an issue going uphill with the left drive weakening. Seems to catch a little better when moving the lever back and forth. Already tried bleeding air from the system, and use Lucas 15W40 only. Only 300 hours on the machine. Any suggest help would be greatly appreciated???
How did you know the problem was in the hydraulic t-box up top and not in a wheel motor on one of the wheels?
Good video Teryl. I've worked on a couple Dixie Choppers. I would never own one for my personal use...
Slippers came back from the dead!!! LOL.
Just gotta say... Taryl, you've given me the confidence to totally rebuild my little Snapper classic. All I have left is the clutch. It mows and runs strong but if it even looks at a slope.. it stops and I have to give it a little push from the seat. Maybe you'll be able to do a vid on it. Let me know how hard or easy it is.
Look up Jim Jackson videos he is king of Snappers, totally rebuilt mine from watching his videos.
I tend to use the hi tack on the side of the gasket the seals to the part that is easiest to clean next time. For example I glue the gaskets to the water pump (automotive). That way the next time the water pump needs replaced, the gasket typically comes right off the block.

do u get 2-3 cold bewerages per hour i get it all the time past 15 years
Love your videos very informative and funny you are as mad as me!👍😎
dang taryl. my shade tree still aint big nuff to do them fixins like you do
Scag uses Superior Gearbox with a drive shaft. They ain’t cheap when they go out. Good job Buddy!
Great video, glad to see Dixie went to electric clutch for deck they really needed to.
Hey taryl do you have any videos on kohler 7000 series or Toro timecutter ss4225? Awesome videos.
I got a question for you What would you recommend to clean out the gas tank on a Briggs and Stratton series 450 push mower it got a white Chrystal powder in it form sitting for a while with gas that dried up in it please let me know what I can use to clean it out cause I don't have a lot of money to get a new one thank you for reading this and keep the video's going there great

That intro is brilliant..
is that a 3\8 impact you use?
Pizza or lawnmower shop? Took mower to get oil leak fixed, 4 weeks later and its still leaking!!!!! Any suggestions?
You put high tack on the cover gasket so when you check it the gasket is going to tear when you take the cover off. Good video very informative thank you
Taryl I learn a lot from your videos thanks mate
Getting ready to redo mine today, I noticed that mower didnt have the origianal generac engine. Looks like its been repowered with a vanguard. good uprgrade! lol
That's a lot of work for someone just not paying attention / not checking fluids. And expensive too.
OH yeah. You know they just give those gear boxes away.
that is 97% of all problems with cars, trucks, mowers, wackers and all
Are all Dixie's like that with the tbox? Or just the older ones?
Best vid yet.
best intro to a video yet!!!! very good!
Would 00 grease be good to use in place of 80w90?
Listen Nova!
The lubricant must be able to flow into the bearing assemblies on either side of the T-Box.
Will your grease flow like a liquid? Probably not. Especially at low temperatures.
Therefore: NO, do not use a grease.
You must listen to the Master (TD) when he speaks.

Now, go back and watch the video again, and this time, pay attention to the Master!
LOL,,,,,This is the Best Channel on TH-cam.!!
Hey I'm left handed too, that's why you're so smart!
i am also
put a little bit of motorkote in there its one oil supplement that works by keeping a layer of oil of the gears so if it runs out it wont destroy it immediately
My buddy and I loved the ending.
How much are those gear boxes??
Love your videos! I have a steiner 430 Max 3 cylinder kubota gas that won't start. I would love to bring it to you.
Where does the oil go in the Teebox where does it take off to like why is it empty
Lol looks like they cut a piece of hair off the wig and made a mustache 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Taryl
Thanks Buddy. I'll be sure to tell all my buddies about you. 😀
anyway to rebuild the gear box? Bet there are parts out there somewhere
Kirk S moo on
in
Good ole cold Hamm's
Fire it up, fire it up fire it up
great how to video !
That was hilarious, subscribed!
But what if my DC doesn’t have a T-Box? Right side is very weak going forward
Anyone have a video or diagram of rebuilding the drive pump on a Dixie Chopper? Mine's a silver eagle with the white pump
Great video ❤
Jr's new name - Buddy, & he really, really likes Slippers since they are buddies....
That mower looks like a beast.

Better hope the customer doesn’t see the end of this video

what are the faster ones
you're a giggle , you can fix stuff to , lol
great video buddy
I see a similarity in there with the pizzas and a piece of facial hair and a guy called Buddy ~!~! LOL ...........
Plus Tard from Cajun Country ~!~!
