I made a spreadsheet that has an entry for each vehicle and tool I have. It has year, serial number, oil and all filter models and quantities, wrench size for drain plugs, vin numbers, tag numbers and links to .pdf manuals. If I am at the store I can quickly look up from my phone whatever I need .
I use it often
I do the same, but with the 'Notes' app, then its saved on iCloud on any of my devices
@@primebuildbryce that's what I do and share with my wife and daughter. I didn't list everything on the list. It also has tire sizes and pressures, battery sizes and dates, oil changes and other maintenance. I find that when I'm thinking of routine maintenance and such it's when I'm in my easy chair at night. No more going to each vehicle to research all this. When I get any tool or appliances I download a manual and put the link on the sheet too. I have trouble keeping up with them. No more and easy to search.
@Gary Ruppster Yes that is strange. I get alerts for that town all the time. Never been there though. I'm in Alabama.
VIN NUMBER HUH 🤣
I have been asked at parts stores for it several times so I just put in there too.
Pro-tips from a mid-west mechanic:
Especially after the snowblower has been used prior, make sure that no snow or ice is keeping the inner impeller (behind the augers) frozen in place. (Small wedged rocks can do this too!) If your impeller isn't free and you activate the augers, that's a recipe for a cooked auger belt!
thanks for the heads up
I just had this conversation with my son. He and I both suffer from ADHD and what I shared with him is that what we lack in forward thinking we have to make up in discipline. This is a lesson I have struggled with my whole life, and hopefully he will not have to.
Teach him the principles of discipline equals freedom. Check Jocko Willink. It really really helps. Also, make a policy to have everything ready to go. If you need a chainsaw, prep it so far, that you only need to fuel and oil it up, maybe bar and chain, and ready to rock. This principle gives tremendous peace.
Unrelated to this video I wanted to say thank you for the video you did about using wet towels to put out a chimney fire . I never thought that I would needed it but I shared that technique with my wife and today she used it to save our house. There's nothing more valuable then knowledge . Thank you for sharing your knowledge .
Haven't seen Cody post anything in 10 days. What's going on? Hope all is well. Merry blessed Christmas
no upload in 2 weeks the feds got him after he grounded his bed
Maybe you could do a review on the importance of safety boots sometime 👍🏻
Thanks for the reminder! 😂
I can't criticize. I will occasionally wear boots in pain if I'm actually shoveling snow but I can't justify an investment in custom fitted boots that properly fit my Sasquatch feet.
He has the best and safest boots the U S Forest Service has ever designed, and has talked about them before.
Are you new? Welcome.
@@medicbabe2IDhe’s saying that because he bootless in the shop messing with equipment lmao
I have a hot water spigot in my garage and I hose off my snow blower with hot water after each use to remove all of the stuck on snow as well as all the road salts from blowing along the road. Really helps keep my machine from rusting and clean.
Have not heard from you in a while...
Hope and pray you and your family are well...
May God bless you and yours.... .....East Coast Man :D
Thanks for the spillage. It is like a watermark to know this is a genuine Wranglerstar production and not some fake!
bruh 😅😢😂
I lived in Marion MT, (west of Kalispel), for a few years. I had to learn some of that stuff too, it was my first time in really cold weather. I I really like the channel. You not only stand up for yourself, but for a way of life. Keep going !
That thing looks brand new!
there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤️❤️
I actually made my own snapon handled extension like this with a Williams black screwdriver handle and a 3/8dr extension. I wanted one so bad I made my own and love it! I also have the Mac tools versions that are locking. But I agree they are a must have and very handy!
i think snap on is making them again
Love that air compressor! I keep that compressor on my truck at all times for a slow leak I have on an alluminum rim. It great for that and other equipment around the shop. Plenty of power. Highly recommend!
I've always put Sta-Bil or some other additive in the gas I use for my lawn equipment, riding mower, push mower, weed eater, chainsaw, etc. and I've used gas that was in some cases 3 years old or stored mowers with ethanol in them over the winter and never had issues. I regularly stored my 20+ year old mowers over the winter with gas in their tanks as well as gas cans with no issues. The only time I ever had to rebuild a carburetor was when I bought my used push mower and it was surging. I use a sharpie or a paint pen and write on they equipment what oil and filter is needed. Just the other day I used a white paint pen to write the oil weight and quantity as well as the filter number on the radiator housing and the air filter number on the air filter housing in both my vehicles. Time and wear fade the writing but it's a simple matter to rewrite them when necessary.
Excellent advice. I hit my snow blower with this stuff called fluid film. Basically looks like I just dunked it in a pool of the stuff when I’m done. Like I always say rather it oily than rusty. I also get a paint pen and write some maintenance info on stuff.
Great stuff. Good for your vehicle also.
could you review the no shoes in the shop policy that you seem to follow?

@@RedPill556 100% spot on
Best thing I’ve bought for my shop is a good quality label maker. I print out labels for all my equipment to keep track of maintenance and any info like fluid quantity, filter type, belt sizes. I 100% recommend getting one for any professional home owner.
The Milwaukee rover 12v light has been a very good tool at my work. It has been very handy from car repairs, plumbing, or working in a factory fixing machines. And it charges devices.
Highly recommend.
For those that don’t want to write on your machines. Luggage tags are an option.
Nothing wrong with washing and protecting equipment. I have a John Deere x485 gas with c62 deck . I wash then wax the mower and deck at the beginning and end of every season. It has made clean up at the end of a job so much easier. My stuff still gets scratched and banged from normal use but I couldn’t imagine what it would look like if I hadn’t taken that extra hour every year . Take pride in your work and you will be happier for it. God bless .
It's funny, a few years ago I overheard some people making fun of an In-Law for washing and waxing his snow blower after every use. They were just teasing him about going overboard. I asked how old the snowblower was - 35 years.
LOL There's no way it would have lasted as long without that extra bit of care. I said 'The joke's on them, they've probably bought 3 in that amount of time'
We have over a dozen tractors on our east coast farm and everyone is always in shock when they find out we wash them multiple times a year and wax them at least once a year, we also wash all of our implements before storage. My grandfather has instilled that behavior on me. I even waxed our mig welder a couple weeks ago lol!
I’m an Auto Detailer and I would highly recommend a ceramic sealant spray, far better protection than that of any wax. Much quicker too!
Yes Sir... nothing worse than needing a piece of equipment in an emergency and having it not ready to go. Great tips, thank you.
I have read and listen to Jock for sometime now. Always a pleasure to hear others using him as a reference.
The way you take pride in your equipment is really cool to see. I need to do the same but seem to think I never have the time
You are the living embodiment of all my fathers best advice in a charming, rustic setting. Thanks for another informative video!
Mr. W, I can't imagine you reading this, but I'll send it out just in case you do. Thank you! I've been in bed with a flu over here in Germany for about a week now and have been binge watching your videos. I can't wait to get my health and energy back! Your videos have got me sooo motivated to clean my guns, get a stove in my garage installed, buy some more 🪓 's, and get back in the woods and harvest some more firewood. Thank you sir for the inspiration to stay motivated and stay traditional...All the best from Deutschland!

Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤️❤️
I used a ceramic coating for my Honda HSS1332ATD bucket and chute. Wet snow can't pack and clog my beast anymore. Makes cleaning easier too.
Great times Cody! I agree with ya....we're running AV Gas on my farm now...it keeps for 4-5 years! Pricey but it's the best!
Mama kitty living her best life … love it !!!
there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤️❤️
Good shop prep tips again. Don't forget to check the scraper bar and skid shoe condition and height.
I was on the fence about buying that Milwaukee compressor, it's now in the shopping cart, thanks !
You’ll love it. I got mine in the middle of a box of stuff at a auction. I was after the other items at the time. It’s bloody good. I havnt needed the compressor in the workshop since. If it’s a large tractor tire to pump I’ll take it to the cow shed for the compressor there.
This Is a very well put together and helpful video. I fly by the seat of my pants more than I'd like to admit... but I really like this advice. I always remember seeing little notes like this in my father's and grandfather's shed.
My father replaced his honda 1 stage snowblower 25 years ago with a 2 stage honda. As of this year my sister clears her driveway with the 1 stage and I have the two stage. Best snowblower I have ever owned.
I run regular pump gas in my equipment during the "prime" of the given season. As the season comes to an end I start to use non-ethanol gas to make sure that all the regular gas is flushed out. This method has saved me tons of time and headaches from clogged up equipment.
Im glad to here us midwesterns are your friends because I would say we are similar to you guys.
Enjoy these videos love being prepared
I’ve been called a “gun toting hippie” by several people, plus a Tennessee Hillbilly. So… seeing you change oil while barefoot made me rather happy.
Hello there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!❤️❤️
Hey mr w not all us east coast guys are the same 😅some of us grew up with less than others and understand that taking care of an item whether a price of equipment a tool or even a pair of boots means the difference between being triumphant or defeated I was always taught at a young age that regular maintenance was a must next to prayer and education I love watching your content and I know your just teasing but it’s nice to know that as a man of god and family like myself that your educating others to help them be triumphant as well thank you for everything you do and god bless you and yours
I’m glad I held out on getting the Milwaukee m12 inflator until they came out with the m18. It’s amazing everyone check it out
I have been waiting patiently for years now for you to bless us with your timber framing knowledge and rebuild the shed that was stolen from you. Please get that sort of content back. Thank you
Merry Christmas, Cody and family!!! Stay safe during this storm and may God keep your family safe. 🙏🏻
Cody you should roll the blower forward on the auger box. The bottom plate under the blower is now accessible. Remove the plate and use cold temp grease on the drive sprocket. Pretty sure its in your owner's manual for once a year maintenance.
Thank goodness a longer video
I'm glad i'm not the only one out there washing heavy equipment in their garage. I'm up in Canada, so not familiar with your spray products, but i've always waxed my tractors / outdoor equipment in the off season. Not a fan of the spray stuff out of a can, as you hit the nail on the head - don't need to breathe in any more chemicals.
Johnsons paste wax was what my grandfather always used, I have a little left - it's a shame they dont make it anymore.
Store bought (Autozone, O'Reilly, Napa) "Stabile" works good too. Love how "kitty cat" is keeping an eye on everything from nearby while perched on her "Dad's chair! Lol. I hear you on having the phone turned! But wait who the heck is going to call you at 0200? Oh yeah! Lol.
Love that sick rolling Mathew’s black n red Stand
I cut the number side of my oil filter box and under the number I write my wrench size for the drain plug and my oil weight. I tape this to the top of my air filter box and it's so nice lol.
Wurth makes an extension/ screwdriver that is very high quality. It comes in the zebra set
The mini air compressor is great when the only thing you're concerned about is pressure. If you need a high CFM for something like a paint sprayer, then you you still want your big compressor
That machine looks brand new! Your neighbor has taken good care of it
there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤️❤️
Hi Cody, Excellent video as usual. I thought I noticed grease fittings on the front augers, but I didn't see you grease them. Mine has them and I use winter grade grease every fall.
I take pictures of my handwritten notes all the time. Not sure how many people know, as I just figured this out a couple weeks ago, but iPhones will read your handwriting and make the notes searchable in photos. Now when I make notes I title them based on job or in your case "snowblower" and you can easily search within photos and the note will pop up. Gamechanger! Im not sure when your phone scans the images because it doesn't work right away, but for sure next day it will be searchable.
15:52 An Ex Mark walk behind mower with a sulky behind it is one of the toughest, versatile, and most efficient lawn mowers money can buy.
On my small engine equipment at the end of the season I go through and check everything and do an oil change, run the gas out. It has worked for me for years! I started recording the hours service was done as well.
Cody, you have yourself an excellent machine, well built and durable, and don't complain about it having tires. I used more than a few snow blowers with tracks, and they suck! Very troublesome and are hard to turn. You just are fighting and wrestling the machine and are exhausted by the time your done, I wouldn't take one with tracks, even if someone offered it for free. The John Deere snow blowers are well balanced and they are an easy pleasure to use. I do recommend to have a lot of spare auger sheer bolts on hand, as the do seem to easily brake. Another great brand of snow blower is Simplicity Signature Pro Series. Heavy duty and well designed, with high hp engines for that heavy snow.
I know this video is old so I am not sure you will read this but a tip I learned for keeping track of list that plus I record all my maintenance on my equipment in google sheets. Its a great place because you can look it up on your phone and on your computer. really good way to help keep track of all your equipment.
You can buy grease base on the NLGI grade of 1 has a consistency like tomato paste, where a grease with an NLGI grade of 3 has a consistency more like butter. I recommend marine grease on every thing!
there 👋👋, how are you doing today? Hope you’re having a wonderful day. God bless you!!!❤️❤️
Those extension nut drivers with a handle are great! I remember you talking about your snap on one years ago. I thought it sounded like a good idea and found one made by GreatNeck 28096 10 Inch Quick Extension, 3/8 Inch Drive. I liked it so much I bought a second one! Unfortunately they don't seem to be making it anymore. So disappointing, its such a huge help, like you said, working on small engines! I wish I had bought more of them!
Great video, earlier in the video when you were using a fire poker to move around the coals, something I think would be neat to see you do is forge a fire poker.
Honda with tracks comment made me smile thank you
That is a killer snowblower!!!

For some reason, the lack of shoes gave me considerable enjoyment. I could virtually hear the Safety Sallies warming up their angry typing fingers.

It’s so strange to me. He seems to take such pride in nice things and doing things right, spending a little more money to be comfortable. But then he walks around a workshop with no shoes just begging for some sort of injury that could be easily avoided. I don’t get it.
Nice amsoil product placement subtle but efficient reminds me of the lock tight good all days. Well done Sir!
Hard to beat small diesel equipment for reliability and ready to go in a hurry. Although in the cold proper starting aids are necessary
Miss long format videos :/
I prefer a single stage snowblower for the simplicity. And they get clogged less is wet snow. I have a MTD that’s been very reliable
God bless.
Be well dude.
Great rundown Cody ! At 1:40 100LL Aviation gas also works good in engines that are seasonal as it has no additives and long shelf life .
Happy New Year ! 😀👍
As backwards and knuckle dragging as we East Coasters are, we try to wear shoes or boots in the shop. A broken toe or metatarsal will slow you up much worse than a less than showroom shiny snowblower…great video, just wanted to reciprocate the friendly ribbing. Merry Christmas!!
I like to keep the manual in the shop and jot the oil weight and capacity, plug type, part numbers for the belts and other frequently purchased parts on the front cover and I usually hang spare belts on the wall with a tag that includes the part number. When I have to replace one I order a replacement right away when possible.
Hey cody ive seen where guys take the 1/4 spinner handle extensions and swap handle colors. You can drill them out to fit. Im thinking a great porject video would be making one with a 3/8ths. Just have to get one of the larger replacement hard handles and a 3/8 extension . set the handle in a vice and drill it out and then you can countersink the other side to fit the wider end. When asselmbing just use some sort of glue and it should be dandy.
I actually did this with a Williams (snapon) black hard screwdriver handle, drilled it all the way threw got it so the extension fits snug. Used JB weld to help secure it in place. I love how it turned out and it feels solid and strong.
Love those leather sneakers you got there, Cody.
God Jul!
I've used Amsoil everything for 23 years. I only use the finest oil they make. I use their diesel additive and gasoline additives. I install an engine heater on everything I can.
Lol. Just chiming in to point out that the first time I hear you address any potential ladies in the audience- was for an ad. Hilarious, never change
Great instruction!
I see the Compressor is great at filling tires and such but can you put the attachment on to blow compressed air? I often have to clear my sunroof drain lines and that would be a game changer
Thank you 👍
Thank you for your immense information.
On Vacation good for you 👍
I find Sharpies dont stand the test of time, especially when there is oil about. Tried paint pens....they fade with time. Best solution so far are the little brother printers, the labels are laminated so you have a barrier over the print. Info will be there a life time 👍
you probly dont care, but my 100x50 foot barn is actually an old forestry service building built in the 40s.. that the original owner of my property bought in the 60s.. from the forestry service.. took apart.. moved and rebuilt on the land i own now.. Its really cool to have a barn.. but actually a forestry service building thats 80 years old.. It has 4 double double door they used for aparatus
I’ve used gas that has been over two years old premixed and sitting in a can in the garage when my tractor was out of gas, and I needed the plow
For the sheer pins you can use grade 2 bolts.
Yes - exactly. I use them on a Honda 1132 snow blower and they work the same as the factory pins. They cost pennies and are available everywhere.
Midwest Guy always keeps extra grade 2 bolts on hand. I get them from the bulk bins at my local hardware store.
I think I saw a Toro shear bolt kit for $10 online!
@@daverahrman5662 yes I own a small engine shop and keep a lot around. Some customers want the real sheer bolts but most will use the grade 2 bolts to save cost
Couple tid bits from this video. Never once thought to use a permanent marker to write belt number/lengths especially riding lawn mowers it's usually find the model number then search for the belt size. But it goes with all equipment. Along with gas/oil mix ratio and anything else you replace often belts,sheer pins ect. 2nd to write it down and take a pic or atleast put it somewhere easy to find. I now have a 3 ring binder for a polaris sxs full of service dates and anything you would need to know without thumbing thru the manual which for a lot of things are pretty much online only at this point.
I used to build fuel stations, ethanol last longer then you think, the difference is that the alcohol in the fuel suspends water up into the fuel and causes phase separation creating a brine which will ruin your engine. I use ethanol fuel in my snow blower and put it away every year with no additives in it, I just make sure the tank is completely fuel and its stored under roof so no moisture can build in the tank. with non ethanol fuel the fuel floats on the water. with ultra low sulfur diesel we have today you can take a jar of diesel and put a piece of steel in it and watch it corode over time. Our fuels are changing and not for the better. if you have fuel tanks on your property check them with water finding paste and if you have diesel have it checked once a year for allege. Hope this helps clear things up

Just an FYI stabil or any brand of it doesn’t do anything to ethanol. The fuel is still just as corrosive as it’s always been but it just won’t go bad for 12 months. Project farm did a video about it where he found that there was no product that could actually “neutralize” the ethanol.
Those pour spouts on the oil jug is nice for small engines.. first time I seen them.. does your shop hold the heat good? Was just wondering with the high ceiling. Thanks .
Please do a video about your cat compact, skid loader. I’m about to purchase one and would love an update video with your thoughts on how they are.
I had fallen off from this channel for a bit right after you moved and just recently decided to give it another try. I have to say the content the last few months has been amazing! It’s like a humbler wiser version of you. I hope you keep at the livestreams and videos like these 👍

I haven't done an oil change on my lawn mower for like 5 years. I'm an East Coast guy btw.
I bought the Milwaukee air compressor and pays for itself in a few uses.
Sharpies are a great investment 🤣. Every one of my vehicles has a different size oil drain plug, so I write what size it is in an inconspicuous spot under the hood
Good stuff thanks. I plan do to small engine maintenance at the end of the season but always end up doing it at the beginning of a season in a hurry. What about you?
Honda snow blower with tracks might be the best purchase a guy can get if you live where there is a good amount of snow!
I run that maxima oil and chain lube it's the best
