Scavenging and Removing a Briggs Crankshaft
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- Part 1 of this project, this is not worth it unless you already have this crank on hand to replace a bent one with. Prices for a new crank run around $50-100 depending where you source it from. Being the fact that you can buy a good used mower for that price that is why this is not worth doing. This video was done solely for my entertainment and for you guys watching it.

Good job Hank...looking forward to seeing the rebuild
Andy K yup just waiting on parts!
Excellent, I have never seen the inside of the engine yet, only cracked it open enough to put down a bead of RED RTV to make a gasket to fix a oil leak on a Briggs 140cc OHV
the old Briggs Flat head are my Fav (190cc)
They aren’t too bad to take apart
They come apart easy, however in my case the Blade Adapter/Self-propped wouldn't come off . It looks like they hit something really hard which cause the gasket to tear and a massively leak oil. The Shaft wasn't bent but key was partially sheared , it still ran but not well. Yah the 140cc OHV briggs do come apart easier than the previous models. but there is something wrong with them that the Flywheel keys don't break easy enough to prevent block damage.
Love the videos man I really enjoy hauling junk mowers in my ford ranger and fix them and sell them
Great video
Hank you're right about the Briggs motor! I lie the older Briggs engine better! I have been buying Troy bilt push mower with a Honda motor on it! had two years no problem with it! great video man! looking forward to the next! great job man!
yup parts are on order hopefully part 2 will be up next weekend!
Hi,
I have an 88 Snapper V21 that I picked up. It has no fire, minimal compression and will not even cough for me. I have a new ignition coil ordered and it will probably need a set of rings and the carburetor is probably a mess. The only reason I am even doing anything on it is because it is light and should be pretty movable around my yard. I have a several year old HRR216 Honda but it is a load to move around the yard, even though it is self propelled. If I want to mow big stretches, I have a brand new Snapper SPX2342 lawn tractor, but there are just places the tractor will not go. The 88 V21 was abused by its previous owner. The idiot that owned it ran it without an air filter, hence the need for rings. It had 30# compression when I got it and 70# with a squirt of 30W in the cylinder, but that oil will burn off the first time I get it to run. I have looked at putting a new engine on it but they do not make this engine, anymore and a larger engine would defeat the reason I like it -light weight.
If you are unable to get that motor going you can try throwing a briggs classic engine on it like the one in this video.
I cracked my oil sump on the neck area. It's not too big of a crack, might just use a metal bonder to seal/bond the crack a bit.
I used a pry bar and a mallet to take the fly wheel off.
Might've been able to avoid the small crack if I evenly worked the pry bar around the flywheel.
Luckily it wasn't the flywheel or top cover of the sump.
found a used 2006 briggs and I'm using as a hobby project to learn how an engine works and hopefully cut some grass. 😁
Your welcome I enjoy your mower videos and your other channel
another mower kept out of the scrap yard, thumbs up
thats the idea!
You are the Man great videos
Thanks for watching!
Great job that engine will run good again.
reginald lawrence hope so!
Another great video man!
Thanks Darren!
Nice work! you can never have enough spare parts to swap around.
yup been really busy organizing everything too! holy shit its a chore!
Another nice video
Thanks Jeff!
Are the crankshats in b&s motors interchangeable I got a 550e
They may be. You would have to check the model numbers on the blocks with diagrams for the cranks they use. Partstree.com
When replacing a bent crank on a mower engine, what are other components that could be damaged as well?
If the flywheel key didn’t break when it was bent possibly the connecting rod
So my exhaust cam lobe is hitting the crankshaft is it ok if I grind a little off to clear it
What brand impact is used at time of recording? Lemme guess: red color, maybe bought @ harbor freight, Chicago Electric? just brainstorming.
You got it. Been plenty happy with it too. I haven’t even touched my air impacts since I bought this one!
Hi. I'm wondering how much torque do I need on the crankshaft if I have a Briggs Q45
yeah the Briggs quantum. engines are nice but the classic is my favorite. i haven't used the new style engine they have but after some of the things I have seen and heard i have no interest in trying one i will stick to. my briggs classic engines until it quits
It’s such a shame Briggs had to quit making them. They were around in some form for decades.
Hank's Small Engine Repair yeah they are a tried and true design will run for years
@@Twintania that's why they quit making them,no money in making things that last forever.
Hi, how would you recommend removing the sump/crankcase cover. I removed the crankshaft seal but I cant slide the cover off. I have beaten it with a hammer and everything.
Thanks
Is the shaft covered in caked on dirt? I have had to take angle grinders to them with wire wheels to get all the years of stuff off then they always come off pretty easy
@@hanksgarage_ Its pretty clean, I think maybe the crank is bent or something because when I turn it, the sump turns with it. Almost as if the crank and cover are welded together.
That’s weird it should still come off. Maybe it is bent like you said
It took me one pull
I have one of the 450Es, I ended up with a May 2017 American made ones and it's been a tank so far, ethanol free gas is the cause of that though.
Interesting, I can’t get ethanol free here unfortunately
Hey can you ship mowers?
It’s not worth it. And no I don’t ship or sell to people over UA-cam.
I get it. I just really wanted to have one of those craftsman push mower with vector tecumseh engine.
Just pulled the last one I had off the deck it was on and put a Briggs in. Those are junk motors man you can’t even really find parts for them anymore the one I pulled had a lot of issues some I couldn’t fix due to lack of parts or too expensive
Hank's Small Engine Repair I just like the style of deck wheels. But you think u could do a video on the repowered one with the briggs?
It will be up next weekend
