    Hey Bro, good to have You Tubin again. First, glad you are recovering and remember don't let your "get back at it" anxiety compromise the doctor's orders. Spines are such a vital part of just about all we do. Best wishes on a full recovery. Also, how is that bummer shoulder these days?

      You got that right. I still have shoulder problems, but I had to concentrate on my back first.

      It definitely shut me down for a solid month. Feels good to be active again.

    Glad you are feeling better. Did you have back surgery as well? Regardless do not push yourself to hard and hurt yourself. I have been looking for your video's so glad you are back once again. thanks for all the video's.

      Thanks! I had the epidural shot in the spine. Feeling better but have to take it easy. Feels good to be back.

    Glad you are feeling better. I don't see a lot of those Intek engines on push mowers. That crank is way bent, the seal is already toast. I would be inclined to replace the crankshaft, and the bottom seal, pretty cheap parts, a few hours of your time. If the owner doesn't want to spend the $$, the vibration will eventually wallow out every bolt on the deck, handles, engine, and crumble into a mess.

    What did you do for your back? I may have to do something for mine. I am considering stem cell. Thanks for the video.

      I just had the epidural shot in the lower back. Physical therapy after. I hope it doesn't happen again. Thanks for asking!

    How did you hurt your back?

    • @SmallEngineDIY
      @SmallEngineDIY  2 роки тому

      I have been fighting back pain for a good year and was doing well. I just lifted too much one day and herniated a disc.

    You needed to remove that extra plate that was behind the blade. Then you will be striking the actual crankshaft on its own. Even though I've read that someone said that's not advisable in case you weaken the metal it can snap off. I'm a little bit hesitant now to try hammering that part.

    Pipe for leverage

    What makes you think crank is bent? First thing I would check is for partially sheared flywheel key. Not sheared completely, since it does start. Partial for engines that won't stay running, causing pre or post TDC ignition. If in fact crank is bent, no remedy except a replacement. Sorry!

    • @gilpicard6024
      @gilpicard6024 2 роки тому +1

      pipe with ID over the crank OD for leverage works great

    • @jimmyross4352
      @jimmyross4352 Рік тому

      And the longer the pipe, the more leverage.
