- Hi Guys, this is part 2 of this John deere 318 that was given to us from a viewer so we could fix it up, in this video we get into finding out what the loud clacking sound is and if we can fix it, lets just say I did not expect to find this as the problem.

Finding a valve cap missing...golden. Retrieving it from the depths of a deeres bowels...(priceless)
This is how all my projects go.
Gonna replace the seat.
End up disassembling the engine block.
Good lord this cant be anymore true
Totally that. Plan to just clean the inside of the screen. Actually end up replacing the timing belt...
So it's not just me!
It’s called the “ might as well’s”.......
Its 2 bolts they say
What I've realized over the years of watching Mustie work - there is a brotherhood of like minded souls who all share the same values & visions. I would love to meet all of you. The shared appreciation of similarity & the loyalty to job(s) well done. Perseverance & definition to seeing a job completed well past the usual expectations. My hats off to Mustie & his legions of loyal followers. I think I know all of you.
Well, the one thing I have learned over the years, is that you have to drink coffee while watching the video and tell everyone you are doing it.
I just hate the throw away aspect of the culture. Dirty ash tray ? Just buy a new car !
And it’s all based on “right to repair”! We can’t fix much of anything without parts, diagrams, etc., and we can only get those if they sell them to the public. We are just lucky this isn’t a Deere farm tractor or there wouldn’t be anything to show! 😅
😢😢😢🎉
So a proctologist decides he wants to be a mechanic. During his first term there was a practical exam - rebuild a carburetor.
He scored an A+++. On his exam the instructor had written: "You did a good job rebuilding the carb - I have never seen it done through the exhaust pipe before!"
Looking forward to part 3...
In the first year of my mechanics apprenticeship i was taking a the head of a series 2 jag and dropped a 5/16 bolt down the hole in the block/sump that the oil return or dipstick went into. I had to go out and buy myself a thin magnet. I stuck it down the hole and got it out on the first try. The head of the bolt just cleared the side of the hole and no more. The chance of it going down the hole was 1 in a 100. I got lucky that day. there have been times since that i haven't been that lucky and had to take things apart to insert something that didn't get put in. Here's another story. One of my work mates had bad habit of playing tricks on us . I had a transmission in pieces and had the little vitone balls that go into the valve body in the lid of a jar. He added one more and thought it was a great joke as i had to look in a manual to see where the balls went because i thought i'd only taken out 3. . He was putting a motor together a week later and had left the envelopes with the piston rings and wrist pin clips on his bench so i added an extra clip to the envelope after he had put the pistons and rods back in the motor. Then he tidied up before he put the head and sump on and found the clip in the envelope and pulled the pistons out again to check them cursing all the way. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
LOL, That was a great story to read! You were only fallowing the Golden Rule: "Do On To Others As You Want Done On To You." Calling what you did revenge, Justice or even fare play all work for me. You just returned the favor that was owed to that coworker. I find it very funny and completely respectful thing for you to have done. Others may have a different point of view though. Thank you for sharing your stories.
I think you guys should stop playing snd just concentrate on work. A certain type of boss would fire someone over such childish idiocy..
It happens. I once lost a 11MM deep well socket down the crankcase vent hole on a Ford Explorer engine while trying to pull the oil pump drive... Thankfully, I was at a junkyard and I just bought another socket. I feel sorry for whoever bought that engine though...
@@wrenchinginthewoods and that's why you always leave a note
w2dmw The kind of boss who constantly has to hire new people because their employees don't enjoy their jobs.
OMG finding that little piece, wow. Persistence paid off.
I am shocked as well, I am blown away he found it without taking the engine out to begin with. I am also happy that it happened on both sides so he knew it was down there and not a bad valve adjustment in the past were the previous owner forgot to put it back..
@@SkaterStimm also it would of suck doing all that work and that get dislodge and destroy something
That was a plant! He found that little piece on the floor AFTER he pulled the engine! He wanted to take the motor out to paint the frame, so he planned the "missing part" segment for viewer interest. The guy is BRILLIANT!
It does me good to watch you work I learn more about patients and attitude. Where I would swear and get mad you just chuckle. You are so much fun to watch. Thank you !!
uncledoglips it blows my mind that he never curses due to anger or frustration. Whenever something goes wrong, he chuckles and shrugs and works to overcome the challenge. I think that’s why i watch every last minute of each video. Mind you, I can’t do anything that Mustie does but I feel like I’m part of his crew.
I think a fair amount of us understand how much extra work it is to make a video and for that reason we greatly appreciate your time, effort, and expertise. Thank you very much!
thanks jay
dontblameme,
A MEN SIR !!
I worked with a company where the engineers were required to assist in R&D to reduce design problems. The biggest result was ease of assembly and maintenance. After they spent long hours doing what you just survived a redesign was in order.
Shawn Strode
It's a shame that a lot of manufacturers don't care about the customer , Other than the initial money made of cause :-(
that needs to happen before any engineer is allowed to touch anything, mandatory 3 years hands on in the field sounds like a good start ;)
I’m interested in watching the whole process. You’re doing more than entertaining us, you’re educating us which is sooo much better!
Probably the most triumphant “HA!" ever on this channel.🤣😎
Indeed
I never thought on be on the edge of my seat watching a JD engine get dismantled on a Monday night ... brilliant!
Of course you had to pull it apart to get that cap - you had bought the new seat so now it HAS to be properly fixed!
leave the paint job and do a qwik scuff with scotch brite and a satin clear coat.THAT"S FACTORY PAINT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely show the cleaning and detailing part. It's so satisfying.
Snickas Bah I absolutely agree !!
Another Sunday, and another great Mustie1 video. I was raised on 60's and 70's Cub Cadets and have always been biased towards them (at least the IH models). This JD machine seems very well made. Looking forward to learning more about them as you go through this one.
I was a Cub Cadet repairman from 80 to 84. Those older Cubs were built tough, and the Kohler engines were bulletproof. I loved working on them. I fixed a few JD models and despised their design. It was like they over complicated everything. Fun fact, the rear ends in the Cub Cadets were the same ones used in the Cub Low Boys.
I have a Cub Cadet 169 as well as a John Deere 212 and a 316/Onan, comparable machines and I love them all but the wheel base of the John Deere 200 and 300 series are longer and that makes a difference. Also the JD 200 series and 300 series have 1in front spindles and a more substantial frame. I love them all and enjoy each one for different tasks but for me the bang for the buck in the JD200 series stands out. And the JD200 has that shock mounted engine cradle. Nothing quite like it.
I like how we start out complaining about the inaccessible bolts on the exhaust bracket, next thing we know, dropping the oil pan. That escalated quickly.
50 mins of Sunday heaven with Mustie1. Coffee, no distractions, just wrenching n' fixn'. That was brilliant. The irony was that it being hard to get was probably the thing that stopped it screwing up the engine.
It's exactly how I feel!
All your videos are interesting Mustie, I've learned a lot from watching them and it's given me the knowledge and confidence to resurrect our old lawnmower and start on a full restoration of a classic car. Thank you.
me aswell
Me too. Gives me confidence to keep digging deeper into a Toyota FJ40 engine.
I love seeing the entire video also. It gets me motivated to go out to the garage and turn wrenches. It's interesting seeing others do the same types of repairs I've been doing for years. I learn some new information or technique each episode. Keep up the good work Mustie!
I feel the same. I am technically inclined, but i have introduced a few "musties" into my routine. What can i say, guy knows his stuff, knows his stuff well.
Me too.
Love the way Mustie chats to us as he's working! Top bloke.
A true detective, you refuse to leave any case unsolved! It’s always a pleasure watching you work and the thought processes that guide you through a project. They couldn’t pay you enough in a garage, I’m glad you’re solo and now have a a larger space to be creative in. Great learning experience every video! Thanks for sharing...✌🏼
I live in Detroit and I've NEVER gotten any exhaust manifold bolts to come out without breaking. Especially on Onan engines. The luck is strong with you, sir.
Wrenching in Michigan is suffering
@@rwdplz1 That's the truth. I've had vehicles from Georgia that were original from 70's/80's and every bolt just turned right out like it was brand new.
I farted
Heat is your friend, I used to service Onan marine gensets and they're brutal. As bad or worse than MI salt can be at times and that is coming from someone that lived near Muskegon for a while.
SouthJerseySound did you fart though?
Coffee, Cold pizza, Mustie....I love Sunday morning..
Tea, krimpet, friends......Wish I had cold pizza!
“Well, that was easy!” That sentence on its own made my day! I had a good laugh. :-) You rock, Mustie!
Started as an engineering video, then a fishing video and finally a treasure hunt. My emotions are all over the place. Great video!
Dear Mustie,
Merrimack Urology Associates would like to officially offer you a job as our newest kidney stone specialist. This video will serve as your CV and application. You will have access to our flexible ureteroscopes and nitinol stone baskets. Yes, they are typically used for those pesky lower pole calyx stones, but retrieving valve caps can be your subspecialty.
With admiration and respect,
Matt Cohen and Dave Shi
would that be on an OUTPATIENT BASIS or would M1 be the traveling stone/garden tractor specialist?
Think a health insurance co. will accept "John Deere" as a name on their policy to help get the procedure covered?
That was a cliffhanger and a Disney ending - much respect to you sir 👌
My thought processes. Oh shit, he will never find that....of shit he found it...oh shit he lost it...oh shit he is so close...(PULL THE ENGINE)...YES HE GOT IT!!!!
I was mumbling and growling when WE were chasing that bloody lil' ***piece of...metal***. I was telling you "Use our vacuun cleaner with a small plastic/rubberhose in there to suck it out !!" Guess you did not hear me.
A few times, I used kerosene to clean small unloved engines followed by cheap motor oil. Works perfectly. The crap that comes out is impressive.
I really enjoy your channel and your videos Mustie. In a world of disposable goods and " I'll just buy a new one ", you sir are a rare practitioner of a dying art. Watching your videos has not only taken me from " it's scary and I don't think I can do it " to " well it's broken, worst thing that can happen is it's still broken ", plus you've saved me and probably countless others a pile of money by fixing old rather than buying new. Now I want to go buy an old yard tractor ! lol
I like everything you film when you're fixing stuff
me to in UK
Never too much.
Same here as well.
You have more patience than any human alive! I would have flipped out after about 10 seconds of probing for that cap. Someone could have learned more unknown and unheard words obtained for drinking WWII veterans that had only been uttered in combat and bars before. Great job! The only other thing I have to say is better you than me. Keep up the good work! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
After 2 minutes I would have been heading to the hardware store for a better magnet! Your tenacity and patience is something else.
Darren, you have the patience of Job. How you don't cuss up a storm is amazing.
Mustie, I had to laugh when you said "Well, that was easy!" after finally getting the valve cap out of the crank case. While you were probing with the magnet and screw driver through the front end, your light was in the way, so I kept tilting my head to the right to get a better view. Duh, it doesn't work that way when watching a video. The sad part is after I realized what I was doing, I caught myself doing it over and over.
One of your best videos! 38:47 "Poke and Hope" - worked for me! We have two kids!
Haha.
You named your kids Poke and Hope? Lol that stuck out for me too.
Surely that's the definition of didn't work ;)
Another great video Mustie. It's always interesting watching you solve these problems. I learn something every time.
Great job! I can’t wait for the next episode of the rebuild. Keep up the good work.
I think we all love the work you do.
Having back issues myself, my back felt it when you lifted the engine out of the tractor frame!
I thought the exact same thing .... Should take more care Mustie when lifting stuff .... :-)
The old garage I remember seeing a chain lift on a I beam... Think he's waiting on installing one otherwise Id put money on him using it back home :D
Agreed Deanna and RBRat3.
Where was that forklift?
Scares me to death, every time I see him lifting something so resistant to that lift.
Overhead camera is great but that head lamp blinds you from the overhead camera view glad to wake up to a video this morning
To me, there was total satisfaction when that little bugger fell out. I was glued to the screen wondering which of your inventive methods was going to be successful. And there was no way that thing wasn't coming out of there. Sheer determination, pure entertainment.
I am loving these videos! I always check out everything you post, but this one of my favorites so far. Thank you for the in depth look at everything! I can't wait for the next video!
Holy Cow! What a mess chasing down that valve cap. Plot twists on Mustie videos are great.
At the end, I am all like, " no, no, don't stop!" But I get it.
Thanks for posting.
The valve seats will loosen over time as the engine heats and cools causing the caps on the valve stems to fall off, you will have to peen around the seats to fix the problem,then hand lap the valves,this is a common problem with the onan engines, on some higher hour engines you have to do this process every few years. Most people don't know this.
I wonder if it would be a good idea to make sure this doesn't happen again by blocking that breather hole with a screen..
I knew this! I have saved a few engines doing that. As long as nothing is damaged. I fixed an older snow blower with that problem. I had an old guy tell me about using a punch to stake the seat back in so it couldnt pop out. That blower is still going strong today.
Mustie, I’m interested in watching anything you work on. Learn something new each and every time!
Since I found this channel, I am always waiting for the next video to get uploaded. I don't care what you are working on it is always interesting. I also like the fact that it is a longer video that hasn't been cut down and shows all the details. You really produce an extremely viewable video that I want to watch and enjoy. I have learned so much by watching as well.
We're not rebuilding the whole engine
Sure looks like we are
lmfao right!
guyina4x4 no we are leaving one bearing. So it’s not the whole thing. Lol
He may as well do so now.
Video basically ends with engine in pieces on the bench. I died.
I think this machine is going to end up being his, and he is spending more time and effort once he got into it because he kind of talked himself into fixing it and using it for snow removal and mowing.
What an extraordinary example of patience and persistence. Thank you for sharing.
Since watching Mustie's videos, observing his process for figuring problems out and making repairs, I have been able to cut way back on visit's to my therapist. As an added bonus I get a kick out of his sense of humor and the endless stream of wisecracks.
Thanks for putting out another video on this mower! Happy to see the whole process. One of your riding mower vids was my gateway to this channel so I'm enjoying seeing this.
Even if we can't see exactly what you're talking about that's ok because your commentary is great.
with a surgeon - the motor stays running as you work on it :)
Those type of surgeons don't have to worry about metal pieces ripping your fingers off when fishing around.
The surgeon gets to bury his mistakes while the mechanic must fix his.
I heard from an orthopedic surgeon that the initial surgery took about twenty minutes, but looking for the screw they dropped in the patient took another forty-five!
You da man mustie 1 ! Watching you work on this 318 JD , inspires a lot of people ! Like your new shop .
Awesome job!!! I don't normally comment on videos, but I enjoy watching all of yours. I especially enjoy the lawnmower/small engine repairs for some strange reason. I don't want to say I like when things go sideways, but I always enjoy the calm methodical approach you have when things do. Keep up the great work!
I am continually amazed at what you are able to pick up for free.
Tried to tilt my iPad to get a better view. Didn't work
LMAO
I thought I was alone on that move..lol
I was doing the same thing. Trying to get a better angle...lol
Haha!
Damn sure didn't work with my monitor either!
That's an epic video! One of the best ones in a long while! I love when you get problems that are hard to diagnose/solve, we can understand how you figure out the solution. Kudos Mr Mustie!
Love your videos man. Found you by accident about a year ago and you are now my favourite channel! Keep it up buddy.
I find your videos both relaxing and inspiring! What an amazing combination. Love the new shop. Good job Mustie!!
That was interesting, a simple valve adjustment turned out completely in a different direction.
Good job finding the missing piece !
I got the reference. You're going the wrong way. Planes,trains and automobiles. As always an awesome video. Thanks for making my day better. I just love your channel.
Hey Man, I am very much enjoying your videos. I don't get to spend much time these days wrenching on anything, but I grew up working on all kinds of equipment with my dad. He passed a few months ago, but your videos with the farmall a sure brought back some memories.
thank you very much for filming everything. your show brings me great joy and knowledge!!
These videos are real-world. It's great to see the struggles of getting things out of where they don't belong. I don't watch your videos to see the end results, but to see the process getting there. Thanks Mustie1!
Really enjoy watching your videos; you have taught this much older dog many tricks. Your patience is remarkable, I would have given up or had a tantrum. You are a great "teacher".
I don’t think any of us care how many videos it takes we want to see all of the rebuild. We love your videos and learn a lot.
Good morning all!! Sunday mornings are the best when you start with a coffee and a Mustie1 video.
It's afternoon over here so I get beer.
On the downside, I have to go to work when you're all still asleep.
I loved the disassembly to look after the small missing piece :)
He wouldn't have been able to live with himself if he had to leave it in there and order another valve hat.
I may not comment much but I quite enjoy your videos and their style and I have for about a year now. I started watching to learn to repair a lawn mower and now I watch with coffee and love it. I hope you keep making new videos.
I like watching restorations, please don't skip too much! I and I think others will love to see a full restoration.
this video captures perfectly the experience of owning a john deere product
( i like all the agonizing details too)
This John Deere was one of the better made mowers they built. Newer ones aren't as good I have heard. My dad has a 20 year old John Deere 14sx 21" mower ( silver colour one) and it has has never had a issue.
Yep, always a PITA to work on. And that’s what I see the most of in my shop. Try changing the drive belts under one of the older rear engine riders. Ugh!
It amazes me every time how you do something like this and never lose your temper. I get so angry doing these kind of things and have to take frequent smoke breaks. 🤣
Please show all the cleaning. I’d love to see this whole thing from start to finish.
Your knowledge and willingness to instruct and share is nothing short of amazing. Thank you Mustie!
Mustie,
Loved the vid! Very educational! Your channel has given me confidence to work on all my machines! Well done sir!
To me your content is top notch. I prefer watching the whole process rather than heavy editing. As long as you keep posting I'll keep warching.
Hypnotizing to watch you work~! I appreciate
what you do. Thanks for the inspiration in many ways.
everything is when you got a cig
I’ve really enjoyed watching this series on the John Deere 318 garden tractor! Thanks for taking the time to produce this video!
This is why I love your videos. They go through all the details all the difficulties that come when doing repairs on crap. Also you're a great guy and I love how you talk to the camera lol
I kept saying to myself - "try the magnet on the other valve caps you can get to!" but this was even better. Had a feeling the engine was coming out when you had to take apart the clutch lol. great vid Mustie, as always.
Hi Mustie thanks that you keep uploading your awesome videos i'm watched your UA-cam videos for more than a year and i will keep doing that because your videos are pretty entertaining💪👍
Onya Mustie! It's so relaxing watching someone who knows what they're doing. And for every obstacle and problem has an answer. You rock man.
Hats Off. The funny thing was when you were fruitling to the left after you got a visual, I caught myself moving my head to the righthand side of the pc screen, as I was trying to see past your hand. Respect for your presentation, your patience, and showing the real thing properly !
Ha! I was thinking, "thats alot like the game Operation", and then you mentioned it too! I was just waiting for a loud BUZZZZZ and watch you jump back! Haha
I was too! Its a shame he couldn't edit in his nose glowing red...
I know that feeling of success. Nice job getting it out. This machine is definitely worth the effort.
Love these videos, keep them coming buddy, as I can say for myself, I'm Learning a lot watching your videos, and gives me confidence to tackle things similar
Love your video’s! Really enjoyable and it helps me to broaden my knowledge! Thanks and greeting from the Dutch Caribbean!
Personally, I enjoy the agonizing repair details. I don’t want a show.
Thats whats called mustie gold, love this channel. Serious stress reliever for me! I have tons of this lovely repairstuff to do when im done with the house for the season😄
@@datadavis yep i wanna see all that mustie gold
1000% Accurate. I could agree with you more. Just a guy and his camera wrenching on stuff. No creative editing, click bait, long winded intro's, and obnoxious background music.
There's a lot about Youutube I DON'T lie (cough! cough! one-sided political censorship! cough! cough!) but this stuff is all business and eah, I love it!
Well said. Most creators of this kind of content would take an hour long video, cut it down to ten minutes, speed up large parts of it, shout a lot and add some annoying backgrounnd music for good measure. Thankfully Mustie treats his viewers with respect and creates some excellent content.
Love the vids been watching for a long time. You may as well put rings and bearings in it since you have it tore down that far!
I really enjoy the "Creation Connection" at the end of your videos. Keep up the fine content!
Im from Canada. I'm 33. We Own a campground with my wife and son along with my wife's mother and step father. Were getting ready to start clean up and bringing the campground back to life after winter again. I've just started watching your channel. Its very relaxing and lots to learn and remember. You have a good shop and an eye for anything with a motor. I also like the eagles t-shirt you have on. The pic on your shirt is from a double disk eagles album I have in my truck. Thanks for the videos and you just earned another subscriber buddy. Take care and be safe
It was patience that landed you the prize in the end... looking forward to the reassembly and the repainted tins! 👍
Hi Don!
@@MowersNBlowers Hey Mate, kinda been a hectic summer, things going sideways... and haven't been on here much, but hope to change that.
I do use my tongue to help me get stuff done. Almost bit my tongue off trying to help you get that part outta there.
Nice suspenful video & congratulations on success 👍👌😜
i haved loved every one of your videos. and so far, i might have loved this one the most. so great to see the depth of the details, and the dirty underbelly of the harder small engine repair scenarios.
That stupid valve cap really didn't want to leave that crankcase!
Nice job tracking down the valve noise issue, too bad it wasn't as simple the lash adjustment to fix. Dang, they don't make that one easy to work on, do they?
Also, no need to skip the cleaning, that's interesting to watch also!
Their is just something about a John Deere that just makes me want to love it,,, I think you made a great score on this one,, I would like to see you do a restoration on this one,, within reason of course,, :-)
no resto, just a stabilzation and preservation
Nooo! I want to see the cleaning and paint. Luv restoration videos😄😄😄
He said four or five more days of work to get all that done. Figure at least two or three more videos to cover all that work. Be grateful.
If this is anything like the last few years, you won't see much painting. He is not a fan of painting, and I don't blame him.,.
@@paulcopeland9035 yeah, scotch brite the paint lightly do a satin clear coat and new decals plus a roll bar with LED's
I suppose you think we're all drones that want to see paint dry. Well ok count me in.
PLEASE !! Now that you’ve got it that far down; go ahead and dedicate an entire video to the cleaning process prior to reassemble!! I find that aspect of it fascinating & critically important. Thanks !!!!!
I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate the calm segments after your videos as much as I do all the care and attention you put into sharing your projects. Thanks, you're pretty great.
Wow, thank you!
Good find on the valve lash cap! This thing is going to purr when you get it back together.
Nice work, you saw it right to the end. Thanks for taking us along.
Mustie1 you never cease to AMAZE me! Another great video! Great job on finding that pesky valve cap! Keep up the good work!!
Awesome video! Really love how it illustrates the troubleshooting procedure, and the whole "A leads to B leads to C" process. I've lost track of the number of times I've started with a "simple" job that leads into an almost complete teardown, and people who've never had it happen to them I consider the "lucky SOBs"! Fantastic work, guy!
