Rather than use an impact wrench, I put a pipe wrench on the pulley under the engine block and a 5/8" socket with a half inch drive on the bolt underneath. Worked pretty well.
Hello. This video is on the older side, but I don’t recall saying I’d need to change the muffler. Maybe though! To this day, the factory muffler is on this mower. Anyway, thanks for commenting! 👍👍👍
There is a large bolt that holds the pully on. How did you get it off? Do you unscrew it counter clock like most other bolts? I am trying to get ready to take engine off my troy bilt 30" lawn tractor. Thanks!
Clint S I used an impact gun to remove the pulley bolt. If you don’t have access to an impact gun, now would be a good time to get one. If you don’t want to buy an impact gun, you’ll need to prohibit the pulley from moving as you use a standard wrench to remove the bolt. Otherwise the engine will turn over as you try to loosen the bolt. And yes, the bolt turns counter clockwise to loosen. Best of luck!

Dave yup, that'll work! Thanks for the tip!
You can use a pipe wrench on the pulley shaft to hold it.
Oh, good idea. Thanks!
why change the muffler? can't you use the one that its comes with it fits just fine.

@@FastFixUA-cam I got it. Thanks!
And the oil can be in?
Yes it can, but I’d recommend draining prior to removing the engine. Makes it that much lighter.
@@FastFixUA-cam ok thx!
Don't tip it over
Cleanest mower ever
craig jones accurate! Hahaha
Don't think it has ever mowed a blade
Great job, would you like to come and do mine? Lol
As long as you live in Lincoln, NE!
I bought the same mower from someone for 50$ has no compression lol
Oh man... probably had a failure and messed up a valve. Have you taken it apart?
