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?
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.
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.
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.
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!
Yea mine is bent I tried a pole (floor Jack handle) Didn’t work I really cracked it with a ball peen Nope Gonna bring a short handle sledge or find a really long pole I spent over an hour so far on it
Welcome _back_ -no pun intended. It is approaching grass cutting season.😄
LOL. I'm getting ready for the season...
Glad you’re doing better. Thanks for the vid.
A little better every day!

You got that right. I still have shoulder problems, but I had to concentrate on my back first.
Glad to have you back. Can't wait for taco Tuesday. Hope your back gets better.
Thanks, it feels good to be back! I feel it getting better a little bit every day.
It's Migas Monday.
Glad to see you back at it. I surely understand the back stuff dang sure will shut you the hell down.
It definitely shut me down for a solid month. Feels good to be active again.

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

Nice to have you back do your self a favor get a lift table to work on your equipment way easier on your back
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!
@@SmallEngineDIY My back was cracked in a car wreck around 1966. I am now experiencing tremendous pain. Epidural sometimes called steroid? Thanks!
Sorry to hear that. Praying for u
How did you hurt your back?
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.

Pipe for leverage
I'm going to try it...just hard on my back.

pipe with ID over the crank OD for leverage works great
And the longer the pipe, the more leverage.
Yea mine is bent
I tried a pole (floor Jack handle)
Didn’t work
I really cracked it with a ball peen
Nope
Gonna bring a short handle sledge or find a really long pole
I spent over an hour so far on it
Replace the engine.
