I have 2 and love them
Yes
Thanks!
I have the 028 farm boss....I didn't even have to look at the saw.... Stupid oil cap! Dumbest design! 2 piece oil cap... Junk! I have the screw in caps, not the twist and lock.
But they run!!
Got to be more careful on buying things we are living in strange times and people like us getting scammed by people looking to get rich and charge a arm and leg for things ask me how I know never again
Lucky for me this one turned out ok.
Thanks mate know I know what I’m in for to clean my milkshake of a gearbox atm on my boys 65
Glad I could help and best of luck!
Has the battery held up so far?
Yes it has
Good job keep going god bless go man go
Thank you so much!
Wish i could get my 55 Rancher running too. It has a new cyl. & piston installed.
Start with the basics, compression, spark, fuel, air. Is the plug wet when you’ve tried to start it?
Hello Super Great Video, I believe you are missing the Stihl Cover washer - 1121 162 1001 which goes over the worm gear. Am I mistaken? Thanks for the very informative video, it helped so much.
I’m pretty sure you are correct
Very helpful, thanks. Good to know those after-market carbs work. The factory ones are really expensive.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video. I have one of these engines in a MAX atv. Gonna pop the top this week
Good luck!
Keep all the parts you replace and rebuild them during winter for next season 😊
That’s a good idea!
It’s way cheaper to just replace the bearing if blade connections ok If not then replace them and keep old one for parts
Yes I agree. Thanks for watching!
First
Welcome!
I have an 05 suburban 2500 with the 6.0. Ive replaced all front end parts except the lower control.arms. ive even went through 5.gearboxes and 3 power steering pumps. It still wander going down the road at any speed. I have had this vehicle going on 5 years and its our long haul vehicles. Im getting tired of working on it and could really use some good advice.
Tire sidewalls too soft? Swaybar bushings worn out? Also if the caster angle is off, it could do that too (alignment)
Do you have a link to the carburetor?
It should be this one but please check the pics amzn.to/3zrgz2g
Hello Sir. My left control arm lags about 4/5 inches behind the right arm when I drive straight. Do you know what I should adjust. There are no loose bolts/nuts/linkages. Thank you...
That’s pretty substantial. I would try to compare the linkages visually and see if they look the same. Also check the arms. When you start it and they are in home position, does it move before lifting the arms? And how about reverse? Is it the same offset but backwards?
@@RayofallTrades First off thanks! I have no creep whatsoever. One arm lagging both forward and reverse. I thought it was an easy fix... but.
sounds like the adjuster needs tightened (or loosened). It should look like a nut that has threads on each side. Take a measurement and turn a few turns then measure again to make sure you’re going the right way
Also, some arms have a connection half way up the arm that can be adjusted. You would see a bolt there
Thank you for explaining the black O- ring seals! That was my issue…idling way to high
Happy to help!
Mine shakes real bad
Hmmmm I wonder if it’s perfectly centered?
Did this a comple of years back. Finally had to just cut the old pitman arm to get it off.
Oh wow!
@@RayofallTrades Un-Fun.
I believe PB Blaster is petroleum based so it should not be used on plastics or rubber. Great video BTW!
That is a great tip. Thank you!
What was the cost difference between the exact match idler pully and the one you chose without the bearing?
It was a $55 difference. It wasn’t a bearing though, it was a bushing
got my moog parts from amazon tie rods in and out pitmann arm idler bracket idler arm for $250.00 thats a deal not junk from detroit
Very nice! I like moog too
Bro is cleaning pick with water bad, after using it in the field?
Not at all. I like to follow it up with a wipe of oil after the water though when I remember to keep the rust down
I just got all three of these parts on Rock Auto for $75 shipped to my front door if anyone is looking for a cheaper price on a 25 year old truck.
Nice!
I can’t get my belt over the fan pulleys it’s literally too thick I’ve watched several videos and everyone says they just slid it right over top of them but there’s no way to do that on mine mode 931741
Is it a 1/2” belt? If so it should fit
Ray, Thanks Brother. Got a new to me 1998 Honda Foreman 450 es. Same issue. Heading to the shop to repeat your excellent test. Again thanks brother!
Glad to help and best of luck!
Thank you for posting videos especially on the Kohler 7000 series, you knock it out the park helping me with the different issues. But I need help with the carb spring and linkage how to put back together .like were the springs go back.

I need a cooperator just like that 1. Have you got a part number that I can order it?
Should be this one: amzn.to/3L7Yau9
Thank you so much, I am prob the 5th owner, so who knows where the manual is. lol
Glad to help!
Thanks. Ordered the hose and wand came the next day. Now having issues with the pump....it was expected...the unit was sitting for about a year in the cold.
Yeah hate when ice expands!!

My brand new 54" ZTR mower has extremely tight lap bars, making it impossible to use for a long time. Can the tension be adjusted on the lap bars or is is possibly something else?
Usually the pivot bolts can be loosened but you have to watch out the the nuts don’t fall completely apart
Really, How does this thing sharpen the gullet ? You want a Razor sharp chain . First, put a guide on file, sharpen the tooth . Second, remove the guide and sharpen the gullet . Third, don’t forget to check the rackers . U will be amazed how long your chain will cut .
Yes it does everything you mentioned. Circular file gives a correct gullet shape, holding at the 10 degree rake angle and a 30-35 degree sharpening angle gives a razor sharp tooth and the flat file on the tool takes the raker to .020 depth. Try it out. I was amazed
I got one about a year ago & I’m happy I didn’t get the high $ electric one.
I like it too. Thanks for watching
Your about to have carb issues again the shadow has an issue with the plug wire coming from the coil grounding out on the plate that has that rubber diaphram and spring under it, itll burn a hole and cause it to run horribly. Thats what that black dot is. Mine done it after 35k miles easy fix with jb weld tho
Oh really? Are you talking about the heater circuit on the bottom? You said jbweld might do it? If so, I’ll give it a try. Thanks!
@RayofallTrades the spark plug wire coming from the coil that rests on the carb. the one you removed to make room to remove the carb. The plug wire will ark over on the carb and essentially plasma cut a tiny hole in that plate.
@@RayofallTrades 2:30 of your video
@RayofallTrades if you look closely you can see the black spot where it is already arking across
Ohhhh gotcha. Great catch! Thank you
Wish I had one of these a few years ago.. awesome stuff!
You and me both!
I was going to get some but I was wondering if they really work now I can buy some thanks for your video and ur help with making me get them be blessed.
Glad I could help!
what the heck is that tube and filter coming off the air box going to the crank case I believe?
The metal one? Intake manifold. Rubber one? Breather
@@RayofallTrades must be the breather thing. It's rubber and coming off the air intake box/filter. It goes into the air box with a nut. Makes zero sense to me. Must be Chinese silliness.
You literally didn’t have to take the clutch brake bracket or plug off.
Thanks for watching and sharing. I’ll try that next time
excellent vid Ray, well done and educational with the explanations. Glad to become a subscriber and confident will get mine going now. Primer not bringing gas up, can test the bulb as you showed if i take carb off but you suspected it was the line--------what suggested that, brittle alone wouldnt made it bad would it?
Thanks and welcome. Usually brittle means cracks along the line and it could be sucking up air instead of fuel. Hope that helps
awesome job ray
Thank you very much for watching!
Thanks to this video my 142 is now a 1 pull starts saw thanks
Excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Why would you go through all of that and not replace the fuel line, impulse line and the fuel filter? Especially with the screen in the carb plugged.
Those were fairly new already but yes you are correct. Thanks for watching!
