Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In "Blademan & Throttle and the Orbital Ignition Module", Taryl goes over the proper steps on how to totally rebuild a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton small engine. There's a lot to know when it comes to rebuilding an engine and Taryl has the know-how and money saving tricks to get the job done right. Before and after the rebuild, Podunk superhero Blademan loses his Orbital Ignition Module that can start any non-running engine and frantically has to retrieve it. Little do they know the module is being used for $cammer's Lawn Mower Annihilator! See how it all unfolds in another funny yet informative how-to video from your pals at Grass Rats Garage. And as always, There's Your Dinner!!

hay taryl can u change flywheels on a B&S motor with a different models like i got a 12hp with plastic ring gear but i got a old 11hp motor with the metal ring gear can u change them
and i got a husqvarna ride on that dosent like going in reverse some time or its really slow have u a video on how to fix that
Hey Taryl . I have one just like it an I just rebuild the carburetor an put a new rotory carb kit in it an it leaks on the tank gasket ...I have had that happen on 2 different engines just like yours ....what the problem,? Or how would you fix it

You have to warn us about Muriatic Acid and it smells bad and it's poisonous? Taryl have y'all ever had one of those special girlfriends? I mean same deal dude...
Hello Tarly. I am 72 years old. I’ve worked on plenty engines. You are second to no one. Keep it up.
Anybody like you or I that have worked on engines basically our entire lives no about a Briggs & Stratton crankshaft and rod whether or not it's going to knock or not those things are practically indestructible
I have a Honda 9 horsepower riding lawn mower with a ball bearing lower end crankshaft, it blew the oil dipstick out last summer and locked up with the Piston, but it did not and I repeat did not hurt the crankshaft it's still runs it's still idle but it smokes more now, I'm going to use it the rest of the summer if it had been a Briggs and Stratton crankshaft it probably would have ruined it
Not anymore. Herd china ain't sending no more
Tarly fixes all lol
Rip
To get the valve springs in, ziptie the springs compressed, install the keepers, and cut the zip ties and pull them out. Works great if you dont have that tool.
Glad we have Tayrl because TV isn’t a thing since 1989.
Ever since The View & CNN came on the air folks like me has been afraid of turnin on any TVs...
The amount of work put in to these videos in incredible definitely worth a thumbs up
I really enjoyed the video this is one of the best channels ever on UA-cam . Thanks blademan and throttle 😀
I wonder if the guys at NASA are sitting around saying "Ok guys , lets get this right....this isn't a 5 horse briggs"
"John your engineering isn't up to par for this rocket engine, why don't you go to work for Krohler"
Wild Horses ...and that’s how the line of courage engines were born.
Sure they did
😂😂😂😂
@@WildHorsesOfCourse He'd probably get De Motted... see what I did there?
You guy's are the best small engine builders out there,i watched this whole video and it took me back 61 yrs..Those old motors would hall Ass, i put one on a go cart (age 14) and it ran 37 MPH thought i was going a Hundred.. We Love watching you and your team do your Thing.. Thanks
Dude I just stumbled upon your channel while looking for a fix for my also cub cadet fuel pump and let me just just say that this is some awesome fun educational content. Thank you for all the effort it takes to create this stuff! It's pure gold!
The two dislikes are from people who thought it was the space shuttle.
Caleb Rudd yes sir you’re correct
I'm seeing it now at 230.
230 techs disappointed that he didn't have the rocket appliances.
Probably Nasa Employees ;)
or don't like water and/or take baths, tho i wishTaryl had the rubber duck with it
My favorite quote - "This isn't the space shuttle; it's a garden scratcher." Great video, thank you !! 😄

A caution with Muriatic Acid, folks. Acid vapors will start rusting all steel in the area so don't leave any lying out in a cup, on a rag, or spilled under the bench. Make sure all the safety seal is removed from the bottle lip and the cap is tight with its gasket or you will come back to a nasty surprise in the shop.
This has been a public service announcement from someone that didn't know better.
Good reason to keep lead acid batteries out of the shop
Nice, must not use it in automotive enough or just covered in chapters my classes didn't cover or other textbooks than what I have since I wasn't aware of this. Hopefully somewhere using this has an MSDS with people that read them. I did it out of boredom some drills, found out we had sheets for Blue Hawaiian (hand soap) and we didn't even have it there my entire career.
If used to derust, how would you seal it up, ie, the inside of a formerly rusty gas tank, so that it doesn't rust, again?
Didn't know that, thanks.
Even though I know all this I enjoy watching Taryl do it, and learn all his Tarylisms and such. No better entertainment in the world of mower repair! 👍🙋😎.
For me, it's been a good refresher for the class I finished, now three terms ago.
B D5
The fact that I know none of this, yet keep coming back for the entertainment... 🤣 I am getting more and more confident with small engine repair. I've fixed exactly one riding mower, so far. Taryl's videos fire me up for the next repair. 😁😛 The baby motor bath. 🤣
Hey Tayrl, when I first came across one of your videos here on youtube I passed on watching assuming that you were a clown that was just making goofy videos. That being said, I was in a jam and needed some advice so I decided to watch. Well I'm here 1st to apologize for ASSuming that and 2nd to say not only did you surprise me, I was also extremely impressed sir. You are one incredible mechanic and I hope one day I have half the experience and knowledge that you do. I enjoy your videos and truly appreciate everything that you do. Thank you!
Nailed it
I used to take old push mowers and grind the Exhaust valve with a drill on a bench grinder, set the clearance and the POS B&S Vertical would have new life. I took a 71 code mower, filed the points to fix the spark, set the valves, and used the $20 mower for five years and gave it away to a neighbor. A year later it was tore up from leaving it in the rain and the starter clutch was rusted (LOL). People just throw away decent stuff today (we live in a disposable world).
I have two B&S horizontal shaft engines that I might want to rebuild and resell as go-cart engines. I have never rebuilt an engine, but after watching this video, I sure am itching to try! This looks like fun!
Great job, I always learn something new watching your videos
Holy Lick..Look what I found....Just when I thought I reached the end of the internet..I guess they saved the best for last... Keep On Keeping On
I use a piece of glass from an old coffee table. Oil the glass and put a full sheet of sandpaper on it. The oil holds the sandpaper and then figure 8 sanding method to check the block and cylinder head mating surfaces for level/flatness. You know,same as they do on the space shuttle.
I use a flat piece of 3/4 steel and tape the edges down to do mine.
The glass and oil method works great too and is also a cheap way to get various grits for knife sharpening, and sharpening planer blades or chisels
This is not what I expected while researching my 5.8L Ford oil leak, but I'm glad I got to see this riveting episode of blade man and throttle!
You guys put out some of the funniest videos out there . Even though its small engine repair omg you guys crack me up
jokers ink1234
This will really crack you up🤓

Didn’t werk
Well it's 500 dislikes now and mine will make it 501. This is just stupidity.
Have looked at a couple of this guys videos out of curiosity since I have worked on these small air-cooled engines since 1971. The information he is giving is 100% correct. It has become impractical to repair these small hp engines in the last couple decades with the availability of inexpensive engines from Harbor Freight, which are actually quite good. I have bought many myself and no returns. This tiller engine is an exception with the special crankshaft design to provide reverse . These little engines will last many decades with preventive maintenance , especially oil changes, but most people don't have the desire or inclination to do so. Briggs and Stratton were and are all excellent engines, Honda is also top notch. Giddyup Taryl.

Thanks for drawing the clocking pattern for the new rings and also for inventing the flux capacitor.
Last of the real professional small engine mechanics, Here in Canada you will never find a person that knows what a carburetor does never-mind try to rebuild an engine. Love these guys they work hard and know how to have fun.
USA has the same problem.
I had a friend who was a carb. expert. I believe he passed away at an early age because of the chemical fumes entering his lungs and chemical liquids entering his body through his skin. He was an amazing man who is missed. Taryl is the best of the best from what I see in this video. John was his equal when he was with us. I wish Taryl would use gloves and proper ventilation to keep his lungs and skin safe. Again, Taryl is the best of the best!
John was a pussy. Taryl is fine. No one likes a safety sally.
Hi there I am from England I love your videos I am a greenkeeper at a golf club I do all the servicing on hour machines and other at bowling clubs and members michenes lean a lot from your videos there are top would love to meet you.
OMG is this funny, only 5min into it. OK, that was the best small engine vid I've ever seen, going to watch again with my young boys w/pizza, soda, and popcorn. luv it!
Thanks for my dinner Taryl. We need more of Blademan on the inner-screen!
When I saw the part with the bucket , soap , and water my first thought was too many beers were involved in that part lol!
Really though if you can't have fun working on engines you are taking it way too seriously!
Doing anything on engines , cars, or anything mechanical should be fun.
If it becomes stressful then you need to do something else.
Engine overhaul manuals for V8's prescribe soap and water for cleaning the internals.
@@blair79bear38 A must when you get your block back from the machine shop,dawn,water and some long round brushes.
You act like you have given baby's a bath before--- YOU RASCAL YOU--KEEP UP THE GOOD LESSONS
Your the best bud! You've saved me time, money and and cut the frustration factor considerably. Ive watched 20 other videos trying to find the info I needed on the 5 hp. B&S. Your the only one who answered it for me. From now on I'll go straight to Taryl for answers. Many thanks from a New Mexico hillbilly. Gotta go it's time for dinner!
Cool taryl u should make videos every day
Jonathan Tyndall do you have any idea how long it takes to make a engine rebuild video
He could make videos on other stuff such as more nawn mower repair videos
@@downeastwilderness3476 , my guess would be 1 hour, 31 minutes and 20 seconds.
@@chainsawchips 🤣🤣🤣👍
Isn't straight 30 weight oil the best to run in an air-cooled engine? I thought the viscosity modifiers in 10w-30 don't like the higher operating temps of an air cooled engine.
I don't know about any "viscosity modifiers" native only to 10W-30 or multi-viscosity oils (that sounds like the friction modifiers in synthetic oil though), but you're right--there's no need for multi-viscosity oil in an air-cooled engine like a Briggs. Even Briggs, at one time, warned against them because they tend to cause increased oil consumption. I have found this to be true and to even cause oil leakage as being thinner (10W, 5W), it seeps past the crank seals and leaves a puddle of oil on the garage floor... I switched to straight 30 weight and it solved both issues. I do use a full detergent/full additive package/full API-spec 30 weight though, not that non-detergent oil.
I was wondering when Blademan and Trottle were going to re-appear? it's been a long time since the last episode
Hello Taryl,Big fan of you and watched the whole video,I am only 11 years old and i love to work on engines you have taught me so much about them and I have the same engine it doesnt run sadly and i got a new ignition coil for it and put it on and sprayed some easy start and pulled on it a few times and then it shot a big blue flame out of the exhaust so i think that the exhaust valve is not timed right and so we dont have the tools to do a valve job so i think i will just buy a new exhaust valve and hope for the best.Thank you Taryl you have taught me so much about engines and your really funny,i think your one of the only small engine mechanic on youtube that makes really entertaining videos and make us laugh.
All you have to do is line up the timing marks and the timing is set correctly. A blue flame out of the exhaust is normal.
Another great video, Taryl. It was the longest video yet, but it went by so quickly because it was filled with very good information. 👍 Washing that engine was very funny too! 😂
I used to race this motor and carb in the WKA Briggs heavy class (methanol, governor removed, blueprinted block and card by Dave Fisher, Sarah's dad from the IRL, close to 7000 rpm, and I thought I knew a lot about this engine... but Taryll explains it beautifully!!!
Bahahahahahahaha he said 'Garden Scratcher!!
That's my favorite Taryl Term
Great video ....Surprised you still had a crankshaft journal that was in spec .....Those old cool bore L head engines truly are great engines . To bad Briggs has decided to phase them out . I have found in most cases only 10 under con rods and 30 over pistons are available . I love the excuses they provided ....Decimal level, {NOISE}control , or emissions. Yet for years they made low tone as well as super low tone mufflers for these engines. ////Nice valve grinder / I use a Sunnen at work and a older Black and Decker at my home shop. Valve guide bushings from Briggs are hard to find as well 1/4 . The 5/16 are still available and can be purchased fairly easily for typical twin L heads . I enjoyed this video as a fellow Master Service Tech I must say you were very thorough . I to use neway valve seat cutters and just as you said those cutters and pilots are expensive so providing the emery cloth method was genius .
Awesome
Briggs engines with ball-bearings have the timing marks placed differently so you can see them with the bearing in place, no need to pull the bearing. Your videos are very detailed and excellent for beginners, nothing is overlooked. Nice job!
Nice job, Glad to see these old engines brought back to life.
Another excellent video, thanks for spending the time making this long one to share:) I just received your music CD and it’s great!
Congrats on the 1 million views 👏
I mowed my yard this morning and thought since I'm retire it might be fun to rebuild old lawn mowers. I found your channel and for 1:30 min I laughed was intrigued and learned a lot. This is going to be a go to for me. Very entertaining.
Thanks for the great camera work, well lit, naming the parts, explaining all the details what a great help this was!
Your skits are funny, but really enjoy how you break things down in simple ways, and practical ways without using expensive tools.
Or being .arrogant
The 5 hp briggs rebuild was done in the most neatest way. Very informative, and detailed. Great job on your part.
I've spent a life time putting lip stick on pigs just ask my girlfriend. Only Taryl does it best...
You are no knucklehead and you are a great teacher Thank you
Taryl, you are more entertainment than The Comedy Channel~!!!
I was eating breakfast while watching this one & starting laughing &almost choked when you starting bathing the engine block....wow, that was funny!...love your vids!
Strange to hear an American say the British for Aluminum...Aluminium Cheers from sunny, almost Covid-free, Australia
Haha I loved it when you babied the engine block and then the final start up with the engine racing and you listening carefully made me laugh and remember my time happily listening to corvette engines run at WOT on a test stand at the GM tech center. There's so much to love about your videos. I can not wait to hear you howl and "there's your dinner".
Taryl.........HILARIOUS and some VERY good tips. As a 72 year old Canadian 'fix anything' Guy, I learned some great tips from your video. Entertaining, FUNNY and informative. GREAT WORK !!!
The Scammer sorta looked like Scotty Kilmer.
"Rev up your scotty kilmer impersonater."
Came on here to reply the same thing 😂 thought it was him.
Sounded like an Aussie putting on a NJ accent...
Exactly what I was thinking. Mechanics should start doing some collab works with each other.
Lmao
I just came across this video by complete accident......I like your personality, and the absolute frugalness of this and all the sandpaper tricks....gotta say....friggin sweet to know you can get some more juice outta an old kerploded motor with a little bit of sandpaper and elbow grease
Great video, Taryl, best ever.
Thank you very much gentlemen for this amazing video. My grandfather gave me the WOLSELEY cultivator 5hp SUPER MAJOR with the motor you are presenting (Model 130202 Type 0788-01). You are professionals. Best regards from little Greece.
I do not think that this is funny at all. Rebuilding small engines is serious business.
Whats wrong with having a bit of fun on the job?
I learned a few things from this one.
I found it a lot easier to install the carburator stem first - then put on the gas tank.
Reminds me of the old mini bike days using the b&s engines.
The engine washing got a little uncomfortable lol, but other than that awesome video! thanks
Thanks for sharing your expertise much appreciated
Hell yeaaaa
Hello Taryl. You shaved the deck and then the head, you bumped the compression a bit, I bet you pick up at least a 32nd of a horsepower on that garden scratcher. 😆 lol
Nice job sir!!!
I have a small engine shop in NE Mississippi and I've been a fan of your's for a long time. I've also got a Lawnmower Hall of Fame on my shop wall that has pictures of You, Carl Childers, and Forrest Gump. When customers ask, I make sure they understand why your picture deserves a place on the wall. I can honestly say that you inspired me to open a shop in my retirement and I'm having a ball. I even have a Slippers that lives down the road and is a constant PITA with his daily visits. The great part is I'm a Hoosier also, so I understand "Worshing" parts and checking "Battrays". I even find myself saying muffkin and carbatraytor every now and then. I want to be just like you when I grow up, which ain't gonna happen any time soon.....
5 HP B&S was the motor to have on your Manco yard kart back in the day. I have a Manco single seater frame in my garage that needs attention.
Thanks for the video. I'm about to tackle that on a 91 Snapper mower..
I rebuild garden tractor pulling engines. I glade to see you said to use soap and water to clean the block. I've got an old portable dishwasher that I use.
You're just a damn genius. I wish I could teach half as well as you do.
Informative, knowledgeable, helpful, and hilarious. Thank you for the great info.
`This is a hoot, picked up a little knowledge and a belly laugh,.
I have a 50cc Chinese dirt bike engine no comparison . can't find parts . you think I can do the same to fixs it ? My first time working on small engine thanks
No compression? Might just need new rings....
Education and entertainment . Can it get any better !!
I couldn't find the orbital ignition module on your interned site Taryl. Not cool brother not cool...
By the way loved the video of engine repair. Something I can go myself
Wow, an hour and a half! Thank you, Taryl Fixes All!!
I'm 5 mins in. Did not realize til I read this comment. I don't have that kinda time to waste.

Great Vid. I sure would of kept the olds points/condenser and Coil. I like keeping my old engines stock, someone could of used those.
Clone engines from Harbor Freight are souless.
I get 16 HP at 7800 rpm out of those soulless H.F. 212 predators for far less money than I could a Briggs....I do love the Briggs but a new bare block alone is @ $300 now, IF you can find one.
@@Splungers That is what I've heard from others too. I guess I'm more of an old timer hobbyist.
Mercedes emblem, flux capacitor...its all the same
This is the best worst a ting of all time. So glad i found your channel. Starting a small engine and lawn mower repair joint in our town in NC and your videos have been invaluable. You should do virtual classes or online certs or education or something of that nature. A subscription that guarantees youll see questions.
I thought only people in Missouri said "warsh" instead of "wash" :-)) I live in Missoura, not Missouri, LOL! I hope that block don't bark at you and wag it's tail!
I live on the eastern shore of md
The shorebillies as we call them say warsh here too
My wife and are both from Missouri, not Missoura. She warshes things but I wash them. I really like listening to people from Boston!
Excellent tutorial video Taryl and crew,this makes rebuilding a small engine actually kinda fun,but if you seriously want to avoid valve and premature wear and tear issues down the road with your small engines like this,don't run low quality"junk"oil through them.
I recommend 3 brands that are scientifically proven for maximum engine durability.
1.)The first brand would be Opti-4 cycle oil(best petroleum oil in the oil industry),either straight SAE 30 weight or SAE 10W-30 weight.
2.)The second brand that has scientifically proven itself for excellent engine durability is Mobile-1 synthetic oil,either SAE 10W-30,SAE straight SAE 30 weight,SAE OW-30,5W-30 weight oil.
3.)The very best oil in the industry with a number 1 rating is Amsoil synthetic and I recommend this oil above all of them.
4.)In either SAE OW-30,10W-30,5W-30,SAE 30 weight.(these are FULLY compatable with factory 5W-30 or 10W-30 engines)
These oils that I just mentioned are automotive oils,these are much tougher with longer life then the store brand or lower tier oils that most people use to save a buck on oil.
I'd rather pay $12.49 cents for a quart of Amsoils OW-30 then have to pay out $300.00 to $500.00 for a basic engine rebuild any day.
4 gauge I thought you weren't supposed to use those high end synthetic oils in small engines because they have detergents in them that will foam up with non pressurized "splasher" type oiling systems like most small engines have.
I've been using 15w-40 house brand motor oil in mine for years. It has ZDDP in it.
@@jhitt79 That's not correct,Amsoil has anti-foam detergents in their oils,the reason why that you want to use the super-high-💵-dollar synthetic oils are for several reasons.
1.)Up to 3-times the normal amount of hours between oil changes.(If you look at the T.B.N.of an oil,the higher the number,the better.The T.B.N.scale measured from O-to-15.Amsoils OW-30 T.B.N.is 12.5,which is the highest base number from any oil that's currently on the market)
2.)The slicker oils actually save fuel because your cutting friction at a much higher rate then the"stock"recommended oils will.
Amsoil oils OW-30 is very close to wet ice on wet ice.(slickest surface in the world)
3.)I've been using Amsoils OW-30 since 1999 when I started dealing with Amsoil.Now,Mobile-1 is just below Amsoil in terms of overall quality.The Opti-4 cycle oil is the only petroleum that's actually better then Mobile-1's synthetic oil.
Opti-4 is made in West Germany and is the only petroleum oil that I'd recommend for small engines,or any engine for that matter.(I actually ran Opti-4 10W-30 in my Ford truck many years ago,it actually increased my fuel mileage by about 1.5 miles per gallon)
@@gfriedman99 All I can say to that is this...
"SOUNDS LIKE 💰 MONEY"...see ya'on the next engine rebuilding video.
Which will set you back about $300.00-$500.00 bucks.
I'll take the $12.49 dollar oil any day of the week.
Chewed up cranks,leaking seals,warped deck,heads,crank damage,scored cylinder wall(s).
This is what helps keep lawn mower shops in business.
But if you want to donate about 3 lifetimes worth of oil changes to the lawnmower shop is up to you.
it's how oil and airfilters are maintained that make engines last
I'm glad I went and checked old vides to see if I missed any. Sure enough, I missed this gem. Great video as always.
Hey taryl D .
I got a 8hp briggs and stratton horizontal
Shaft that's a pain to pull, it's not hydrolock. Piston and valves move but
It's like it has excessive compression.
I think the lobe could be wore out , is there anything else that would cause this? It's on a tiller.
Could be the lobe; that extra lift on the intake valve that relieves the compression a bit. I bet the L-Head service manual has specs for the camshaft lobes.
Could you use Allen head bolts on the carb to head install ?
That way it would be easier to tighten than with a screwdriver.
Yes
And a ball end t handle allen wrench to tighten
The "Scammer" is probably the one who builds disposable motors - they hate people that can fix old stuff that was better than buying a new one
Thanks for the good video as always! Looking foward for the next episode! Hoping soon for a new lawnmower detectives one!
1:00:45 Make sure the concave side is toward the flywheel. This washer is known as a Belleville washer (or coned-disc spring, conical spring washer, disc spring); it's a spring washer that exerts continual pressure on the fastener to prevent it from coming loose.
The explanations in these videos are very excellent. Also, the camera work is very aggressive and misses nothing. I do believe Mr. Cameraman would shove you out of the way to get a shot. So much better than those timid ones that are afraid to move the camera and miss half the details. Get in there, boy. Knock old Taryl on the floor iffen you gotta. Get that shot!
Good job, all around. And I don't want to leave out the music, sound effects, graphics, special effects, and sound. I can always hear everything. Some videos are so bad that the guy could be 2 feet from the camera and you still can't hear because of all the echoes and room acoustics.
I can tell that beyond all the craziness, you guys ain't a foolin' around. From one viewer, thank you for your hard work.
alex tworkowski thank you 🙏 we hope you’ll keep watching! Now There’s Yur Dinner!’
Time for your bath little engine lol that was brill part of vid taryl you crack me up I've done my back in this morning so in bed till I can walk upright again I laughed and it killed me but was worth it .keep em coming regards to your crew ,ant from Wales UK .😂😂😂😂😂😂👍
I'm not a mechanic. I'll probably never rebuild an engine, much less a 5hp briggs. But somehow you got me to watch a 90 minute video on how to do just that. You're brilliant! I did learn a lot, though. You never know when some of these tips will come in handy! Nice job!
Genius taryal genius your the best chief surgeon I have ever seen thank you sir
Miss you guys!!!
What model engine you is..... lol.
Keep up the great work love the long videos
You might need to lighten up a little bit. I laughed so hard I almost had a stroke when I heard the seal noises in the background. Thanks, I really appreciate the details.
The sound effects are the best part. Did you hear the squeaks added when he used the Q-Tip? Hilarious stuff.
Hahaha. How did your assistant like having all that exhaust smoke hit him directly in the face??? LOL. Love these videos. Thanks for another great one.
Hi Taryl - Pete here from Limerick, Ireland. Just discovered your channel and enjoying it, love your sense of humour as well as your old-school skills - getting nothing done as I am addicted to your videos! You're a good guy. Love your attitude and skills. I am 58 myself and grew up fixing stuff - from lawnmowers and washing machines to vacuum cleaners and floor polishers and even my first crap car when I had to source a cheap engine and fit it over a weekend and spend every other Saturday afterwards fettling it due to corrosion or ongoing issues. Fond memories of a summer job in a lawnmower shop in Galway fixing small engines - had bought the special B&S tools - valve spring compressor, recoil starter wrench and flywheel holder and puller as well as the B&S service manual and got to know these motors well - even built up some good working motors from a pile of scrap! I have a Harry mower myself with a 35 year old B&S Max engine that catches within 1 or 2 pulls of the starter and mows overgrown grass with ease. Never gave up on me over 21 years of ownership. Modern stuff is crap and unfortunately, skilled guys like ourselves are crippled due to planned obsolescence and criminal overpricing/unavailability of spares. Sickens me that our governments are not targeting the greedy manufacturers but are willing to participate in 'greenwashing' - a new washing machine looks sexy and 'green' with 'recyclable' parts and 'eco' or 'low temperature' programmes but the one-piece outer drum and undersized bearings guarantees a trp to the scrap pile within 5 years. We had an old-school AEG automatic washer at home from 1972 to 1994 that worked non-stop every weekend and we were able to change bearings and other components. Yes, you have to pay a bit more but the return is worth it. I have a 17 year old Miele washer that chugs away without any issues as well as a 23 year old Miele dryer. German and expensive but good! Keep up the good work!
I’ve been a carpenter my whole life.
I decided I should learn about engines after 50 years on the earth.
5 minutes into the video I’m not disappointed.
Mechanics are funny!
they spend alot of time alone, gotta amuse yourself some how, lol Taradactal Is the Man!
Learned a lot here Taryl. Plus the entertainment value is priceless. 👍
