Like to find old junk that's not running and give it a second chance at life. I like just about anything with an engine Steam, Gas, Diesel, including models and also enjoy watching old equipment such as locomotives and steam tractors as well as filming them running. Recently have started going to tractor shows with friends of mine those are my favorite videos to film. Videos go up usually every Sunday if I have one to upload and some times Wednesday if I have one to upload. Would also like to say go check out my friends channels I have listed in the featured channel’s called Friends really enjoy doing things with them and would like to help them grow their channels. Thank you for checking out the channel and I hope you like what you see and consider subscribing.

Really didn’t film a whole lot here I was more or less enjoying time with friends and running tractors around as well as learning some more about steam engines so videoing really wasn’t top priority.

That's a nice b! Enjoyed the video! I have a 49 b, and a 68 110. Went to the tractor show this weekend, and just got them back home. I enjoy seeing videos about the b tractors.
What show?
@themaniacmower west liberty ohio.
@@jackmcgill3150Oh, I was at one in Gibsonberg the other day
@themaniacmower cool! This one is what would be my hometown show.
Don’t use a steam cleaner on the air filter element!!
That tractor doesn’t have a filter element, its a oil bath filter also thats just a pressure washer its not a steam cleaner but I do agree the water did look like steam coming out.
Bolts should have clutch head inside of top.
Very Nice Jon. If you ever pull the radiator out, I would give a good coating of probably black semi gloss paint. A friend of mine that operated a radiator shop ago told me that the black paint helps in sealing any tiny pinholes that may be in the radiator. He also would take 2 scoops of a substance used by radiator shops of what he called “Core Sugar” because of its powdery white appearance.which looked like confectioners sugar. The “Core Sugar” would seal internally while the black paint sealed the outside. Sounds like you have your John Deere dialed in pretty well.
Thanks Mark! Never would have thought about painting the radiator Id think that would insulate it and it wouldn’t cool as effectively but ill keep those ideas in mind.
@@themaniacmower Yeah Join,, That would be correct. There would be a slight loss in the cooling, But black paint did protect the brass radiators from the elements and for many years. When I was with the highway department equipment section, The rock salt & calcium chloride spray would totally eat away the cores from the brass radiators where you could rake your fingers across the cores and the brass would be like pure dust falling off. The spray didn’t bother the newer aluminum core and plastic tank radiators like it did with the brass radiators.
I’m sorry about your friends passing but it sounds like one of the best things that you can do to remember him is make a baddass 214
Why is the guy in the orange shirt remind me of Joe Pesci from Goodfellas? I guess maybe just the way he sort of talks?
I have a series 1, it still runs
where is you ground from the battery to the frame ran? have issues with my 316k!
@@tysonstein5745 the ground on mine goes down to the engine block. There might also be one that goes to the body somewhere but I don’t think so
I like the taillight on the engine cover, cool old school
Ever owned one with the pedal control for the transmission? Opinions, if so, just curious.
The funny thing is that the comparable Simplicity it competed with, the 7117, used the same exact KT17 with great success. It also came with a limited slip differential, whereas the Deere did not. Which is also ironic, since Deere did offer more in the way of rear attachments.. that could take advantage of such a differential. Having plowed snow with both, the Simplicity was hands down the better machine, for that at least. Excellent video. 👍🏻
this is the first time I've seen a 317 with power steering!
@@dislodgegarage9849 this one doesn’t have power steering its got s remote oil filter tho
Where's the idler guide at? I have a 60" Titan Max, very similar to yours
I have a John Deere 212 and when I took up everything with the plow and go to put it up it won’t stay up got any ideas on what it would be
I can't hear it.
Dark but thanks
Hello Jon, Supposedly “I Save Tractors” has the Kohler fuel pump rebuild kits - I cant say one way or the other regarding how good they are. Looking forward to seeing the next video regarding your Gravelly tractor.
@@TheIronDuke502 Hey Mark!! Yeah they do but I don’t know if I can get the check valves or not plus you’d have to get the new ones in without breaking them. Good hearing from you again regardless and yeah hopefully next video it should be able to drive and steer its self around lol
@@themaniacmower I wanted to at least mention the fuel pump kits being that you were dealing with that issue. Jon, If my foggy memory serves me correctly, I think that the fuel pumps for both the K series and the KT series Kohler engines are pretty much the same as far as I can tell. I was kind of wondering if any of the garden tractor salvage yards may have the steering parts that you might need - I hope so anyway. There’s another UA-cam channel @SolunaGarage that did a complete tear down of a Kohler KT17 engine in which he used the vacuum type fuel pump rather than the lever style fuel pump which upon start up seems to work pretty well. Before I forget, My 682 Cub Cadet has a bad ignition switch which was probably causing most of my issues with the ignition not working. I tried to turn the key and the “Innerds” of the switch were very crunchy feeling. What makes me so ticked off is that I think that I have to pull the gas tank and the large metal bracket next to it - I am not happy about that being that I ran all new rubber fuel line and all. Hopefully the hose will pull off the fittings fairly easily - Probably Not!!!
@@TheIronDuke502 I think the KT series used a different lever if I remember right but I might be thinking of the 8 horse K series but yes they are the same pump just the heads flipped in an odd way. I believe I have a lead currently on a steering assembly for the tractor how ever I am looking at a few other places incase this deal falls through.
I can see me in the video!
I'm taking one apart now and I have removed both bolts at the top of both axel tubes and the belt freedom spring. It seems to be hung up not coming out!
@@DaleTerry what do you mean by belt springs?
The 316K is the most underappreciated machine of the entire 300 series, imo. An extremely capable machine.
K341? You dont want that 341aqs is the one you want... 34q didnt have a dipper so on angles mowing it wouldnt oil the rod
Just a dab of oil om cotter pin and inside of pin and u'd spend a loooot less time disassmbling!
I like your videos and enjoy the explanations. I am starting my own little restorations and trying tk start working on more small engine stuff. I just bought a hydraulic lift 112 from an auction and deff appreciate all the explanations and the longer videos that really help explain what’s happing
I don't know what it is about that tractor, but i think that's my favorite tractor of the bunch.
I like lawnboys because my neighbors don’t 😂The stinking carbon fertilizers your grass while you mow
If you put foot underneath it will start😂
I have a 5277
My girlfriend calls me a two stroke🤔😂🥳
Love my cub cadets. That’s a nice un
I have a 210 . My manual lift arm isnt attached to anything. What should it be attached to?
You might have a 1948. I think the seat and shifting quadrant are from 1948???
Take good care of the tires. The big ones are about $700 each and the tubes are about $100 each
The timing mark is on the rear
This is all about having fun and I hope you are. Missing could be from a plug wire short.
I seen you there!
Always disconnect the battery....black cable at least.
If I lived out somewhere with enough land, I'd definitely have a few random old garden tracctors, leave a different implement on each one. Nice job getting it running
So i got a couple of questions what fluid do you run in the transaxle and what fluid do you run in the pump. Because i heard they're both separated so one takes a certain fluid and another takes something different. I didn't know that and wanted to make sure i use what should be used in my HomeliteT12 and HomeliteT16H
Can you explain what the home generator option was about?
Aewsome video!
Let's Talk Spelling! The plural of "transmission" is "transmissions". "Transmission's" is possessive. You were supposed to learn that in second or third grade.
This was painful ! And U didn’t show us anything
Thanks for a detailed coverage of the Cedar Point and Lake Erie Railroad, and especially a two-train day on this great holiday! Great whistling throughout especially at 3:50!
