Hey you! Thanks for checking me out! Let me fill you in on who I am. I'm lots of things.
Dirt track racing fan--Late Models and Sprint cars both.
I'm also a tinkerer. As a kid, I destroyed toys--oh, how many remote control vehicles got disassembled!!--just to learn how they worked. Once I knew how something worked, I'd be able to figure out how to fix it. I've built and modified lots of stuff over the years.
Recently, I got into HAM radio. WW5AH is my call sign. I upgraded to extra class in December 2021.
Stick around and you might learn something! Or maybe your comment with teach me something?At the least, I hope you're entertained!

Dana 35 IFS with Spartan Locker
I bought the M35-1.5-27 for my Dana 35 independent front suspension axle for my gen 2 explorer. I thought I would have to machine the splines inside the spartan axle gear for the C-clip to latch the axle into the diff. However there is enough difference between the original spider gear and the Spartan side gear that there is no machining necessary.
I bought the spartan because it’s the brand I have in the front of my Bronco and I’ve been pretty rough on the bronco, so I trust Spartan lunchbox lockers.

My 1999 explorer transmission shifter was not moving with the key on. I was in the middle of an engine swap and this problem showed up. I had been trying to program a new pair of keys because an ECM change was involved in the project, and PATS had to be reprogrammed. I solved the problem by dropping the column (4 nuts holding the column to the dash) and removed something shown in the video. Whi...

Putting face frames on the new cabinets
My dude!!! Thank you so much!!! 2008 Ford Taurus X, 3.5L v6 has the same power steering pump. I accidentally put the pulley on backwards and this video helped me get the pump disassembled from the backside so I could press the pulley off. THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!
I’m currently getting set up to narrow my 9” housing. I have a 5’ x 1.5” length of new chrome hydraulic rod. I’ve checked the runout in the rod at .004” t.i.r. which seems very straight for that length of material. I plan on turning my own pucks and I would like to know how close to fit them. Is .005” too tight a fit?
I would think that would be ok, but then again, I'm not enough machinist or engineer to make that call. And I suppose if you had trouble sliding them together you can always open the puck up a bit more.
Good times. Should have done the doubler and wheeled it
I'm soooo wanting to get started on that, but it's gonna take a couple hundred at least to get drive shafts done yet again.
... On my Bronco.
@@ahuggins6 cold duck?
@@davesbroncogarage yup
2002 Ford Ikon has almost exactly the same pump. Your video helped me take it apart with no issues. The damn blades kept falling off though. I thought these pumps had some sort of gasket in the axle part that faces outside but didn't find any
It's got an oil seal behind the pulley and an o-ring on the outside, around the rear cover that I used channel locks to pull out.
@@ahuggins6 Could find and replace them no problem thanks to your detailed video. Thanks again for making it and taking the time to respond to my comment. And, if you happen to be a father, then Happy Father's day as well!
thanks for posting really appreciate it 5
has it held up well since you've put this up?
It's interesting you should ask now. We had a couple days of high winds a couple weeks ago. Somehow, even with all the guy wires, it ended up falling over. Guy wires still entact. Every piece is now scrap metal. I have no idea how it was able to move in order to bend over.
@@ahuggins6 - if you put it up again, what would you do differently?
@@honeybadger6127 I would add another set of guy wires. But I have a friend who picked up a channel master pole at a ham fest last week and they've said they might sell that to me cheap. Otherwise, I'd put the 120 or more bux that would toward more conduit into a round h50 or a new channel master. But if someone has neither of those options available without expensive shipping, I'd do the conduit again and make sure it's guyed very stout. One of my guy poi ts was too close to the pole, so that might be the way it moved. I haven't thought too much on the math of it.
Thanks for posting this. I use to follow him all around the South East I-30, Riverside, Crowleys Ridge, Camden, Batesville and anywhere else i thought he would show up. He always made it interesting. Thanks again.
Hey man I noticed you were wearing a shirt with the Texas logo on it what part of Texas are you based in, I’m asking because I bent my rear differential on my 09 f150 fx4 the other day and I’ve been seeing people unbend them instead of buying a brand new differential. I want to see if I could unbend mine and not buy a new differential
I'm near Texarkana. An 09 is going to have a different axle than I'm working on here. Im pretty sure my equipment will not do the job. But I am sure you could buy the right stuff. But maybe for the same price you could buy another rear end from a junk yard.
those electronic ignitions suggest changing spark plug wires, looks like you still have originals, briillman's are experts if you are interested
Seems to me that the drive pulley has to be the same size as the other drive pulleys for each blade. If it takes 5 ms for 6” of the drive belt to go through 90 degrees of one pulley, it should do the same for all driving pulleys or you’ll have drag in the system. Am I wrong? That is, all the blade drive pulleys and the engine pulleys need the same angular velocity….
My thought process: try the pulley. If it doesn’t cut well, we’ll fix it. It’s been cutting just fine since I swapped this engine how many years ago?
How easily do the sections slide as you raise or lower the mast? Are they lubricated with anything?
There’s a lot of difference in the size of the different joints. So there’s lots of slack. Unless you use a bent joint, it’s easy to slide them up and down. My H50 rohn pole however had a couple screws get tightened too much and so the joints are somewhat misshaped now, which makes it a little difficult sometimes.
@@ahuggins6 OK, Thanks for your reply.
What Diameter was the motor pulley? Did it work out ok?
Have no idea what size it is. Works great! In fact, the deck rotted out from under it. I’m going to be replace that deck with an International 3160 deck this winter.
Good video. Thanks.
i have a 184 nice tractor .But i have no power so i'm going to change all of the ignition parts and see how it runs . change the oil put some grease where its needed. good luck with your projects.
like the cut dont like the color of the cape,,the towel is good around his neck but I would have given him a shampoo as well,,, was the little girl next in the chair
For $15? This is all we need. Thanks for watching!
Pull that thing off.
This should help some folks out over the years. Spartan is a good way to get some traction up front without breaking the bank!
That’s exactly why I put it up. I’ve read that these things can help grenade the cv axle shafts quicker, but I don’t intend to punish mine for simply being there. I think if a person intends to do hardcore stuff, maybe they should SAS their rig and build it right.
If anyone has ever had the tiniest piece of hot metal in their eyes they would'nt work without eye protection. If you loose one eye that is 50% of your vision gone. If you got in a car with someone and they said you only have 50% chance of arriving alive at the other end would you get in?
Good video!!! 73!!
I need to do a follow up and show the curve in the pole that’s left because I don’t have enough guy wires.
Thank you for saving the world. I think we’re going to need your skills more than ever!
People need to quit throwing things away or paying others to fix it and start LEARNING how stuff works!
I'm rehabbing a 185 right now. If you could, show what wiring from generator starter to mini alternator. All good stuff. Thank you
I don’t have any wiring between them. I have a awg10 from alternator to the hot side of the starter relay. The regulator on the starter goes away. Tape those wires up or remove them completely. The only wire you need to the starter is the batter cable from the relay.
The bigger pulley is going to give you less blade RPM and more torque. A gear reduction. It will have more whack power.
Mows just fine for me.
What brand of mini alternator did you use?
www.dbelectrical.com/products/new-chevy-mini-alternator-denso-street-rod-race-1-wire.html
I would like to put a mini alternator on my 154 lo boy I saw your running with generator and mini alternator at same time how you wire that up?
Just added a single 10ga wire from alternator to battery side of starter solenoid.
Very clear explanation, thanks!
You sir are very vague. It showed me the internals of the pump. & thats all i needed to see. Thank you. 1995 T-bird has the same pump more or less.
Awsome explanation, thanks a lot!
im not a expert but you definetly have fabrocating skills he will be proud of you & thats how i learned right by my dad all the time
YOU MY FRIEND ARE A GENUS i like it now im going to have to do the same realy nice fab work nice
Thanks! I watched my dad as a kid build a couple cobra keys for a 3208 caterpillar engine to mount different accessories. So I thought how hard can it be on a little ol cub?
And by the way, this alternator gave me two more year on that OLD battery. I’ll be replacing it this spring.

Put the same motor in after blowing mine too, loved the first part about the pulley, mine fell off in my hands basically with the pulley tool. My mechanic brother in law said I was lucky as heck, guess he was right. Great video. Had to get help on the wiring though, good job figuring it out on your own....
I was raised by a very mechanically minded dad. He missed his calling to be a design engineer. So did I by being a home body that failed my first year of college and having to come home to a junior college and go back to a school with a full engineering program.
hope you get this ....did the engine motor mount holes line up???? replacing a 280h07 engine that blew up today....if they line up will get a new one like this
I had absolutely no trouble bolting it up. It was the same block, just a different muffler as far as I could tell. Good luck with it!
@@ahuggins6 hey thanks so much for the video and quick reply....bought my t60 in 2005 and engine blew today ......17 years of cutting and i worked the devil out of it......hope i can find one of the engines you replaced on yours
31r907 at lowes shows 791.97 right now. WOW! I think it was under 600 when I got mine.
@@ahuggins6 yep and they are out of stock LOL ....do you recall what model briggs you replaced if not no worries.
I have an older green version that had a 12.5 and the 17.5 bolted right in to, needed a little rewiring that I paid my brother in law to set up as he is actually a mechanic. But did all the tear down and motor reinstall my self, actually pretty fun.
Love that low boy!
Thanks. Did you see my video of the distributor rotor on it?
@@ahuggins6 not yet! Looking now
My neighbors put a new engine in their Ranch King riding lawnmower. It is an Intek 500cc 17.5 model # 31R977-0027-G1 engine but they don't have the manual for it (lost it) 1) is that the same one as you are showing and 2) if Yes, would you know the basic parts numbers for it like Air filter, Oil filter, Fuel filter, and what type of oil it should take and how much? Briggs & Stratton does not have a phone number listed online for support and I emailed them last week and never got a reply. Great video! I'm happy it worked for you...any follow-up 2-years later??
Well, for an update, my mowers sit outside year round. So I’ve got water in the gas and the motor doesn’t run gretlat right now. But it’s good to have a dependable mower! I don’t have any thing on it. I would search for an owners manual for that model number.
@@ahuggins6 I tried to find an online owner's manual but B&S doesn't support their own engine. I have written them, tried to call them, and even the online search points to that model but then says an error has occurred and they just say, "too bad". Not the company they once were. I appreciate your reply.
This one should get you there. The short block is probably the exact same from one number to the next. The second and third codes are probably things like carb jet sizes or mufflers or combinations of those. www.thepowerportal.com/ipls/ipl.htm?md=31R9770028G1~_IPLURL_LO.pdf
Awesome job on the video, I have a bent 9inch and you just saved my day !!!!!
I don’t think Ford ever produced a straight housing!
@@ahuggins6 hahaha the one I got is out of a mach 1 that was side swiped lol, its not bad but need to be fixed, thanks for the info!!!!
There is bearing in this pump if not way sound coming and the seals not available for crown vict 2011
For any ford power steering pump I’ve ever had make the typically Ford PS “whine,” Lucas Oil power steering conditioner has always made it a lot better. In fact, I had air trapped my F350’s steering system one time that would not bleed out. Hard to turn the wheels in a parking lot. The Lucas Oil conditioner had it fixed very quickly! There is no bearing in this pump that can go bad.
@@ahuggins6 thank you for response if there is no bearing why the sound coming maybe there is sleeve or pushing damage because it missing oil while starting what i can do to repairs the pump change seals cleaning the pressure hose difficult to remove in ford
I’m pretty sure I was standing behind the camera most of the time and I asked why you put that camera there and now I found the video

Good video. Thanks
I am about to get the same engine but going to get the recoil start instead of dealing with all the electrical wiring and what not.
Cool. I’m too lazy. I’ve since run 2-0 cables from the battery on my cub to crank it with. Works like a charm.
I want to do the same thing to my cub lowboy 154 it seems like it's always losing charge not charging the battery or just not enough power to run some accessories I want, so I want to put that in my 154 now my generator is also the starter so when I put that alternator on, I removed the voltage regulator and if so where do I hitched the field to and also where do you get that many generator and do I tell them that I need a bracket for it help me out buddy look forward to hearing from you
I built the bracket myself. This is totally a homemade deal. I can’t even remember the website i got the alternator from. And I think I was able to do away with the field wire because that alternator is what’s considered a true one wire alternator.
ok thank you
I cannot get the washer out....I've tried, believe me...that thing does not come out as you did it...the ring is super strong and firm in that groove...
Good luck returning electrical parts. Pretty sure that is always a no go.
You got a part number on the new engine you got? Or where did you get it from?
Model number 31R907. Ordered from Lowe’s.com. That is not their stock/sku/item number. But I think if you search Lowe’s.com it should you there.
Accha video
So all you used was heat? How do you know where to heat?
Heat the point that you want to shrink. When it cools it will always shrink to a smaller dimension than it started.
Awesome thanks for the video. Gonna try tomorrow with two mapp gas torches, if it doesn't work gonna pick up an oxy setup on Monday, I've always wanted one but couldn't justify it
@@jaimereyes7480 I can tell you MAP won’t do it. And oxy/ace is not cheap to start up.
What size and style tip is on your torch?
@@jaimereyes7480 I honestly don't know. For heating anything quickly, though, a rosebud torch is best.
Hate ford power steering pumps, they're natorious for whining, and remanufactured pumps aren't much better unless you get lucky. I rebuilt one once cause I couldn't get a quite remain pump. It was quite the day I rebuilt it, never did wine until the day it locked up... at least it was quite the entire time. LOL.
I’ve had a couple pumps get quieter with Lucas PS conditioner.
@@ahuggins6 exactly what I'm gonna do with my truck, put some Lucas in it. It doesn't wine real bad, I've had much worse so that should do the trick. Ford never could make a good power steering pump.
Great video showing the guts of this pump.
Whered you get the axle bar and pucks? Made locally?
Seems like I got the pucks off eBay. www.ebay.com/itm/9-Ford-Deluxe-Rearend-Narrowing-Fixture-w-Rearend-Ruler-9-inch-Ford-Rear-End-/224349839272?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292. Had to source the bar locally. Can’t remember how much it cost.
