PowerSmart Mower Cable Replacement (DB2194SH) Self-Propelled Lawn Mower - EASY
After fighting with my recently acquired PowerSmart lawn mower, I figured this quick video might help someone out.
Due to where the drive cable attaches, I thought I was going to have to remove the whole rear plastic that attaches to the mower deck, but I found an easier way.
Pop your spark plug wire off (hidden under the red top cover), remove your blade, remove the plastics underneath, and two screws that hold the rear axle in and you’ll have yourself just enough room to install the new cable.
Here’s a link to the replacement part for the DB2194SH, which is a two in one drive and engine cable:

    • @backcountrybuilds
      @backcountrybuilds День тому

      A lot of guys are running Rough Country. Word on the street is they’re increasing quality recently but are still on the cheaper side if I’m not mistaken. Obviously I went with the Fabtech kit which is kinda bougee up there with BDS and all that. Depends on what you’re looking to do with it, but I’ve had really good luck quality wise with mine… but I sure paid for it hahaha. Best of luck, man!

    • @backcountrybuilds
      @backcountrybuilds День тому

      @@taylorsampson5434 what a lot of guys do, including me, is when you’re first starting out instead of going for the big lift kit right of the hit, try out a leveling kit. Rough country sells a pretty inexpensive 2.5” or 2.0” leveling kit, which will allow you to fit 33s and have them look right. I know you said you’re looking for 35s, which I’d be the first guy to tell you to go for it, but maybe especially with the V6 it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get some additional clearance for 33s with the leveling kit, try out some nice 33x12.5xR20s and you won’t hate yourself trying to move some heavy 35s with the V6. Then down the road if you want to go bigger, you can upgrade from there. A lot of people sell their used 33s on marketplace and Craigslist too. I think it’d be worth it because it’s safest to buy new tires, but here’s some good brands: Nitto, BFGoodrich, Toyo, Goodyear. Also check out customoffsets website, you should be able to put your truck into their website and see what it would look like with different wheel/tire combos. Hope this helps!

First was Nitto Trail Grapplers, then Firestone Destination (couldn’t get the Trail Grapplers because of COVID), now I’ve got Nitto Ridge Grapplers. The Trail Grapplers are my favorite. They look and perform the best and last the longest but are far more expensive. Good luck with the install! My rims are factory Ram wheels from a black 2017 Tradesman. I have to run at least a 0.25” wheel shim to clear the wheels. I have opted to run 1.5” hub-centric wheel spacers to give it the stance/look I like. Hope this helps.

    • @backcountrybuilds
      @backcountrybuilds 26 днів тому

      Ok, sounds like if you follow this video you should be in good shape! First step, fill the oil to the proper level (safe line). Don’t be afraid to double check it! Make sure the mower is on a level surface. Also if you just ran the mower, wait a few minutes to let the oil seep back to give you a true reading of the oil level. Remove your air filter, since it’s likely oil clogged like you said! There’s a tube (PCV valve) that dumps excess oil back into the filter housing. It’s worth the $10 for a new air filter! Then, since it was overfilled, it likely clogged the spark plug with oil. Remove the spark plug, pull the pullcord until no more oil comes out. Then put in a new spark plug. Once you’ve got the oil clogged filter removed, oil to the correct safe zone level, oil out of the spark plug hole, and a fresh/clean spark plug, fire it up! It’ll probably smoke until the excess oil burns off, but after a few minutes you should be back in business and the smoke should stop. Once the smoke stops, let it sit for a couple minutes and recheck the oil level! Best of luck.

      Yes, it could cause that. I would take the spark plug wire off of the spark plug, drain the oil out (don’t start it without oil), put the proper amount of oil in - only up to the safe zone line, then with the spark plug out, pull the pull cord over like 20 times. It will feel super easy. Then get a new spark plug and it should fire right up. My fear is also it might’ve been run with too little oil, which can cause engine damage, overheating, and the engine to seize, hence the pull cord won’t work. Hope this helps. Best of luck!

      I did initially put oil in it before running and it mowed the yard twice before I added more and the white smoke happened but since it was a used mower 😅 just hoping this is from my mess up and not a previous mess up.

    Got my payout from the dude who pulled out on me a month ago last week, and scooped a 2003 GSX600F with 11,000 on it. Previous owner didnt have much mechanical knowhow, so the carbs were gunked to hell, and the one before that had jetted it, and put a exhaust tip on, but failed to adjust the air/fuel ratio. Just wrapped up cleaning the carbs, adjusting the air/fuel and she runs like a dream, just cant find a choke cable, oh well. Wont need it for the summer. To anyone with maintenance woes, look up katana and playlists on youtube

      i just finished a rebuild on my 98 750, the katriders forum is super helpful as well to have a textual reference and then youtube has most things although some of the videos are in spanish but still. Love my 750, the previous owner had done a rebuild on the carbs, stripping a whole lot of screws alot the way, but had the AF 3/4turn too lean along with inproper float heights and the works. Now shes running great, feeling great. Something bout the 90s style bikes just feel good. probably the whole shit ton of extra weight but idk

    My mother's mower was blowing smoke and the engine slowly died. I realized it was over filled w oil. I will drain the oil and replace the spark plug but is there a chance any mechanical damage such as oil hydro locking the engine or blowing piston rings?

    • @backcountrybuilds
      @backcountrybuilds Місяць тому

      Yes, chances are with extended periods of time with too much oil can cause catastrophic failure. But, drain it out, fill to proper height and hope for the best!

    You can reach the adjustment bolts without removing the console. Just remove the gear indicator plate under the shifter handle and reach in with a ½" combination wrench.

    So I just filled my oil, but I overfilled it in my lawnmower and now My oil that just added to the lawnmower is basically almost almost black and like I said it's brand new oil. I just had to overfilled it. It doesn't smell like gas.

    • @backcountrybuilds
      @backcountrybuilds Місяць тому

      Worst case, get it to the proper level in the safe zone between the lines, double check it to make sure it’s enough oil and not too much, then run it for 30 seconds or so, then drain it all oil and refill with new oil. In my opinion, Its worth the few dollars worth of oil for the peace of mind to just do another oil change.
