Merry Christmas y’all! Just to clear the air, No, the Muffkin off the original engine wouldn’t fit in place of the new one with that fan housing. If it would have fit, I would have used it. Thanks fer watchin
That's pretty par for the course. That's why they call it working on stuff. You keep working until you get it to work. Or you've had enough. That happens sometimes too.
I did the exact same swap a couple of years ago. I had to buy a 1” to 3/4” sleeve adapter for the crank to fit the fan, and buy a curved exhaust pipe off of eBay and mounted the old cylindrical muffler from my old Briggs. Works great!
Same here, adapter for the crank. For the muffler, I cut the pipe and added about a 3” extension and used the original muffler. That’s been like 5 years ago and still going strong.
I did that exact swap about 10 years ago. The muffler was definitely a sticking point. I used the Predator muffkin with a piece 1" od 90deg. Tubing . Still runs great.
Oil filler hole is designed so the avg. knucklehead cannot overfill the engine oil, it'll spillover - Taryl easy-hole redesign would throw the entire knucklehead world into chaos.
Merry Christmas, Taryl and Crew! Now, give us another edition of a Fireside Chat with the bloke from England doing a technical service manual episode!!!!!
I was listening to the song and thought, "um, I am not sure those are the words," and I heard the editor put the confusion noise overtop and knew, ah, okay. Thank you, editor.
Did this a few years ago. I guess I took the easy way out, I cut off the Predator muffkin and welded a steel 90 degree pipe fitting to it. Screwed on a Briggs hot dog muffler for an 8 hp and ran it until I sold it, when I decided to go with a backpack blower. Love the Predators, but I did bust the crank on one when the leaf vac ingested a bigger stone. Engine still ran like new, but was useless with it broke flush with the side cover.
You need to cut the pipe from muffler and weld a threaded nipple on it and use plumbing part. Like 45 degree and 90 degrees and then a straight cigar muffler.
Did the same job about 6 years ago. I cut the pipe off of the mufkin about mid way and added a 3/4" 45 degree street el. Brazed the pieces together and works great. The mufkin tilts in more but is a little higher so there's plenty of room for the spark plug and it now clears the fan housing. Great engine. Starts first pull every time.
Those fan blades were shot they should be almost touching you can weld plates to them or he needs a new one it would suck alot more I just weld ours up but they're mounted on zero turn decks belt driven off the deck aswell
I did this exact same swap about 5 years ago on our TracVac. Yep, the muffkin was the sticking point. I got a little creative and made it work. Still runs great today, those predators are pretty decent engines. Oxygen/propane works pretty good too for a torch setup, and propane is lots cheaper than aphetamine (acetylene for the non-grass rats). But, you do use more oxygen with propane.
Merry Christmas to all and have your turkey Dinner tonight! Nice Harbor Freight Goose neck video. Say Hi to Little Johnny at the orphanage for us, Funny boy that Johnny is.🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆🦃🍺 There's your Ham's Liquid dinner.
last year I operated a Bobcat ground tamper that had a Honda engine on it. It leaked oil through the rings while it's shut off. One way to prolong a small engine on its last legs is to drain the old oil out and replace the oil with 80-90 gear oil. Even if the piston rings are stuck or worn out, a higher viscosity oil will stay in the crankcase longer than the recommended grade of engine oil and it will not smoke as much while running it
Merry Christmas Taryl, Faryl, Junior, Slippers and Elkskins! Really love the show, and love your humor Taryl. I Hope you guys all have a very merry Christmas!🎄
Great show guys. I knew that job was no match for you. Also I found out if you put bees wax on those wood drawers they pull out nice 😊 thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Merry Christmas to the entire Taryl family! Thanks for sharing your fantastic repairs information, taking us to the swap shows and bringing Tears to my eyes as I'm cracking up Laughing 😂at the skits you guys are soooooooo funny thank you so very much ❤❤❤!!

Your welcome fellow Hoosiers, Merry Christmas to you all from Evansville.
Tarryl had to look thru those glasses for ages to do this.
=Headache.
Best channel on TH-cam
Just like the Marines...Adapt, Adjust, and Overcome! Semper Fi, dude...
Love that smell of New Engine in the morning, smells like Victory!
I'm glad that I'm not the only person who puts stuff together, finds out it won't work, and then has to redo it. Merry Christmas, Taryl!
That's pretty par for the course. That's why they call it working on stuff. You keep working until you get it to work. Or you've had enough. That happens sometimes too.
Isn't that ? a Muffication??
🇨🇦🤓👍
Merry Christmas to y'all too Taryl, Delores, Jr, Slippers, Elkskins, Blade, n Mufkin. Thank you

Merry Christmas Taryl, Junior, Slippers and crew
Happy holidays fellas! Have a great one!
Merry Christmas & God's Blessings be upon you and your family.
I bought one of those cheap motors for an edger. I can't even get the thing to run. If you pour gas in the carb. it runs.
I was listening to the song and thought, "um, I am not sure those are the words," and I heard the editor put the confusion noise overtop and knew, ah, okay. Thank you, editor.
rubber hose over bolt and air hammer for centering
An instant holiday classic! 🎄🎅

Would spacers between the fan shroud and the block not be a option?
Thanks Taryl nice job👍🏻
Happy Holidays to everyone
I❤love your videos

Merry Christmas to Taryl and crew!
He is so happy with his new work center. Merry Christmas and thank you wonderful folks for working so hard for us.
8:08 Look up Project Farm about using wax
Would the muffler off the old engine fit on the new engine?
It might but the exhaust port on the old engine is in a different place. Which is why it doesn't have the muffler clearance problem.
I love listening to these while working in my shop 😂
Merry Christmas to everyone at Grass Rat's Garage! Even Mr. Cameraman!
Merry Xmas to you'll.
I would have loved to hear Little Johnny tell Santa to 'Pony up'. 😂😂
Maybe try swapping the cylinder heads if they're compatible? Little Johnny cracks me up every time! Lol 😄
Its time for a calender.. great video ! 👍🏻🇺🇲
I see your sold out.....darn
I think your song selections were perfect. No butcher
Thumbs up great video, there is a serious side to Taryl shop,its a commercial machine, a muffler cover won't be missed
I cut the muffler pipe and extend it with a pipe then weld it. It's worked on my fleet of blowers.
Best thing *_not_* on a boys Christmas list Clothes
Merry Christmas!
Weld it up weld it up. Weld it up
To fill the oil on those engines, I have a squeeze bottle. It works great. Happy New Year!
Nice to see your shop a bit more organized.
Supperzilla is great stuff to loosen rust
man that was just like down town Tijuana ! with out the toilets overflowing !
Those fan blades were shot they should be almost touching you can weld plates to them or he needs a new one it would suck alot more I just weld ours up but they're mounted on zero turn decks belt driven off the deck aswell
You guys are a riot. Merry Christmas INDIANA Jones. And Ohio! PA, etc. A 2024 with zero Executive Orders!
Awesome video God Bless you and your family Merry Christmas
41:32 Hard to Fill is my favorite Steven Seagal movie
excellent mod....
love the BFH fix
Always fair, Taryl and fun!. That was my thought heat it up bend it in. Welder persons and mechanics are cool.
I'm just a Deli worker.

Just beat it, just beat it.
As my dad would say, you will only touch it once.
Just heat it, just heat it. Michelle's less known song.
Merry Christmas guys! Thanks for the tips and videos!
Thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas.🎄🎄⛄🎄⛄🎄🎄👍
Engine will fit on this trac vac because of taryl is the one that can get it done with a great thing s he knows
Merry Christmas y'all
Sometimes I wonder if Elkskins is really referring to the mowers etc... when he says "fire it up!" 😆 Merry Christmas Taryl and Co.
A Christmas story. One of my favorites
Those predators are good little engines. Likely made in the same factory as the new breaks and scrap em equivalent.
Merry christmas everybody
Merry Christmas to all and have your turkey Dinner tonight! Nice Harbor Freight Goose neck video. Say Hi to Little Johnny at the orphanage for us, Funny boy that Johnny is.🎄🎄🎄🎆🎆🦃🍺 There's your Ham's Liquid dinner.

That Santa is nightmare fuel.
Merry Christmas happy New Year and God bless you all
Merry Christmas to you and the crew, Taryl!
Merry Christmas, to all of Ya. I thought the vac was going to get you in the private parts area it sucked so good.
MERRY CHRISTMAS ⛄🎁
Taryl. you couldn't use the muffkin from the old engine ?
last year I operated a Bobcat ground tamper that had a Honda engine on it. It leaked oil through the rings while it's shut off. One way to prolong a small engine on its last legs is to drain the old oil out and replace the oil with 80-90 gear oil. Even if the piston rings are stuck or worn out, a higher viscosity oil will stay in the crankcase longer than the recommended grade of engine oil and it will not smoke as much while running it
My braces shot off…. Had me rolling 😅
Merry Christmas Taryl, Faryl, Junior, Slippers and Elkskins! Really love the show, and love your humor Taryl. I Hope you guys all have a very merry Christmas!🎄
Great show guys. I knew that job was no match for you. Also I found out if you put bees wax on those wood drawers they pull out nice 😊 thanks for sharing buddy 👍
Im glad little Johnny got his chainsaw!
Merry Christmas to the entire Taryl family! Thanks for sharing your fantastic repairs information, taking us to the swap shows and bringing Tears to my eyes as I'm cracking up Laughing 😂at the skits you guys are soooooooo funny thank you so very much ❤❤❤!!
Guess the old muffkin wouldn't have worked on the predator?
Taryl rules 🤟🏼MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Heat Wave: Martha and the Vandellas 1963. Good song!

Merry Christmas Grass Rat garage and Elkskins
He heated that thing up to his favorite color…………..Cherry Red! lol! 😂
Don’t worry Mick, your job is safe!
You need to invest in a allen head socket set.
Little Johnny's braces popping off looked like it wasn't supposed to happen and they just rolled with it. lol
It worked out pretty smooth 😂
Woo hoo! Merry Christmas Taryl !
