It also has a electric start which only needed was a charger and need battery.........until my dogs decided to do some maintenance of their own to it. Poor $85 harness never stood a chance nor did either of my push mowers pull ropes. They no longer sell the harness so now i have to make my own. Yeah me! Lol

    Balance weights on a 1972 14HP Koehler (balance gears) (2 gears ) granaded - took out part of the bearing shaft casting on the inside of the crank. After much searching and contacts with Koehler, was told the engines could run both ways. One brand of tractor would run that engine with the balance gears and another brand using that engine (cub) would run it without them. That tractor is still running today as healthy as a 50 old engine can be. Great video, enjoyed it.

    Mustie,
    I hope you read this comment. My wife owned a 1984 Plymouth mini van with a four cylinder Mitsubishi engine. It was a real POS.
    It had a balancing shaft. The chain on the shaft started rattling so I removed the chain and left the shaft in the engine and I just put it back together.
    It has been a long time so I don't remember if the timing chain went around the balancing shaft sprocket or if it had a separate chain in the crank. Either way, I remember removing the chain from the shaft and I left the shaft in the engine. It shook a little more but it ran ok and it was running fine several years later when we traded it off. In fact that engine shook from the day it was new so it didn't seem that much worse.
    I hope you cleaned the crank case out from all the shrapnel. I was sitting here saying, Mustie, please take some time and try to do it right because it actually might work !!!
    Try draining the oil and flushing the crankcase. Give it a real chance to live. Rig up a good throttle. Then, try to mow with it. You might be surprised. It might actually work. It would made a great third video in this series.

    Newer versions of that engine have an arm that keeps the counter weight in line instead of that key and grove. They also replaced the woodruff key with a keyway because they had a problem with them shearing. It's a weird engine. I actually like the design. Having access to the internals by just removing the top lid is genius but they have too many issues.

    That was cool! I think that the engineers figured out that rather than have spinning weights on the crank that requires a certain amount of room and case, they came up with this setup that allows a smaller case and slimmer, lighter engine that is easier to spin up on starting. I guess they forgot the Keep It Simple Stupid (KISS) method of engine building. Anyhow, this was an enjoyable teardown and learning lesson from the small engine whisperer. Keep up the great work!

I really like this video .if without seeing this video , someone tells me that you managed to run an engine after removing this much items I would immediately say someone is laying. Please more joyful videos like that

    Pretty epic video. To take those counterweights out, and have the motor still run is pretty cool.

    I hate that so many companies mix plastic gears with metal ones. The plastic ones always break after a while..

    • @1pcfred
      @1pcfred 3 роки тому +1

      Plastic runs quieter than metal does and holds up surprisingly well. I doubt metal gears would have looked too good after random metal bits ran through them.

      @@1pcfred Do you really think that you could hear the noise difference on a lawn mower engine? You are correct about the noise, but those plastic gears are definitely a fail point. (Just not in this case)

      @@61rampy65 some small engine equipment is pretty quiet. Honda has a reputation for making quiet gear. As far as what I think goes there's more factors than just longevity to consider when making a choice. I know I am not making an heirloom purchase when I buy yard equipment.

    That was cool! Was thinking you were going to explode it. "Time to hide around the corner." Exploding an engine, on purpose, give you that Ahhhhh, moment. Until you have to clean it up.
