Excellent work. Some people would be quick to trash the Branson after that issue. But, as a heavy equipment mechanic in the Corps, I learned, shit happens. And the way I see it, if you’re going to own a piece of machinery like a tractor, you need to know how to do some shit to fix it on the fly. What you did, didn’t require years of training. With the Internet and UA-cam at everyone’s fingertips, there’s no excuse for not being handy. Especially dads! Subbed!
Thanks for posting the problem, the solution, and the “how-to” all in one. I’m sorry you had this issue at 46 hrs. I have over 300 hrs on my 5220r with no issues. Best wishes
It will move if a hose decides to give out. A old farmer I knew thought by locking the stick on his skid steer was good enough and a hose blew and the boom came down and cut him in half at the hips
Yes, but as he said, it was easier and quicker to do it himself instead of loading the tractor on a trailer and taking it to a dealer then having to drive back days later to pick it up.

You need to buy a lottery ticket
I'm glad these Kukje engines are sooooo simple to work on.
Nice fix👍
Thank you Hank!
Bought a Branson 2400H with a Kukje 24 hp engine. 3 days after delivery the engine developed the same noise. Waiting for a dealer response.
Update us what they say is problem please.

Next time will take frontend loader off for sure. I definitely didn’t think that through. Thankfully nothing grim happened.
Great video
Great repair 🧑🔧
The lash cap came off, did the push rod bend?
What method did you use to determine TDC?
There is a mark on the harmonic balance
Which motor is that
Isn't that the kukje engine? Why wouldn't you have to replace the valve?
Was told by the dealership to try and adjust 1st.
Once it's taken apart it never goes back together the same.
What is the spec of the valve lash?
I found in the manual. I’m not where I can look right now. Try tractor.net or call Branson dealer.
That thing just sits loose like that on the valve spring?
Not supposed to be
@@fixitdad9669 got ya. How did you get it
Attached permanently?
@@thegunshow9112 just tighten back up. It is supposed to be a tiny amount of play that is set with feeler gauge.
@@fixitdad9669 got ya. Thank u for the info and video!
wasn't this covered under the warranty at only 46 hrs.
Yes, but as he said, it was easier and quicker to do it himself instead of loading the tractor on a trailer and taking it to a dealer then having to drive back days later to pick it up.
What did you set the gap at ?
Do not remember the feeler gap but I know it shows in the tech service manual.
Y is it knocking?
It was that piece that fell out from in between rocker and valve spring causing rocker to tap and valve slapping.
