Ventrac 4520P One Hundred Hour Service
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 чер 2024
- Let’s see how fast we can do the 100-hour service on this Ventrac 4520.
First off- we’re going to change the engine oil.
My wife says she’s been missing her roasting pan- let me know if you see it…
Next, I need to remove this engine cover so I can get to the oil filter.
This will also give me access so I can grease the lift cylinder.
I like to put a thin film of clean oil on the gasket.
This tractor is a 4520P and has the Kawasaki engine- it takes exactly 2 quarts of oil.
Now, we need to change both hydraulic oil filters.
This front one came off easy- I didn’t even need to use a wrench.
At 500 hours I’ll change both the filter and the hydraulic oil.
To change the rear filter, I like to get these weights out of the way.
My socket filter wrenches wouldn’t fit this filter, and I didn’t have room to make the strap filter one work; so, I ended up using this big pair of channel locks which worked out well.
Make sure you put a pan under these filters when you change them, because quite a bit of hydraulic oil leaks out. You can see here I topped it off once I was done.
Next, I remove the radiator screen and blow off all the dead grass. I also blow out the engine air filter which wasn’t that dirty.
Finally, I grease the entire machine- a couple of these zerks are really hard to get to- you actually have to rotate the engine fan to get the drive shaft zerks positioned in order to grease them.
Now it’s ready to go back to work.
Let me know in the comments do you work on your own stuff or pay someone else to? @hausplans

Always work on your own stuff where possible. The life skills, responsibility of caring for your own equipment, and money saved.
👍👍
Absolutely.
And Always look at everything else
to find potential problems.
I will sit and stare at stuff on engines
to figure out how it works.
Lots of problems are always sitting under
the surface. Maybe a stick or a missing
pin or clamp or leaking hose.
This saves you big time and money over the
years.
If you don't know what it does, look it up.
We have a rich source of knowledge online
for the curious ones.
And even if you don't know how to do it there is all ways youtube
@@mrbrown6421oke i’m not the only one Who just stares at shit until dots connect. cool
And it can be therapeutic! At least when things go right haha
I love working on my tractor. It's part of the joy of ownership.
👍
Gotta love it when they design every filter location to put a nice layer of rust protection on literally everything
Do it yourself, if it’s too complex get folks who can help you out. Never too old to learn more.
Agree
I don't do it myself ever I pay someone else to they ask for 5k but I pay em 30k
If that's your wife's roasting pan, you need a new wife😂
That's all she can afford. He spent al the money on a Ventrac
The oil stops food from sticking but diesel works better
You don't the difference between a normal cooking pan an a cheap ass pan.
Loooooooool
Roasted over a roasting pan.
When I was young I did everything myself now I've found a great mobile service that's only around 15 dollars more than it would cost me to do it worth every penny
100 hours... passed!!
😎👨🏻🔧💪
👍🦺😊
It’s a MUST to work on your own equipment or vehicles. You know the preventative maintenance or repairs are getting done correctly.
I love to work on my own cars but as a business owner I don't really have time. But I love just grabbing a 30 rack and inviting my two best friends over and just wrenching
My dad was a mechanic at ford for years. He was a mechanic at a bus garage for 9 years. My mom worked at toyota factory and chevy. I love cars. We do our own work
I enjoy working on my equipment. Anytime you service anything, truck, car, tractor, mower, whatever, it always runs better.
Get yourself a end style filter removal tool. Makes life simpler.
👍
Your wife is looking for the old disposable “roasting pan”? 👌 guy
For those hydraulic filters, take a look into these two tools from Lisle.
63600 and 63250
I use them on services on smaller equipment with filters they’re in a bad spot. And with a wobble extension, they fit everywhere
👍😊
If you own machinery, it's a must to be able to do your own work. 👍👍
I work on my stuff im 17 and still learning but my dad has taught me what I know and how too and im still learning from him and really anybody
That’s a real nice tractor 🚜
Thanks
I always work on my stuff myself
Definitely work on my own mower, life skills 👍
Right on
100 hours in 60 seconds? Damn youre good.
That's a sweet piece of machinery, I've always wanted one.
👍
awesome design and placement of the hydro filter. classic engineering
Good vid, love the Ventrac. Just be careful with air/compressed air around air filters. The leaf blower is probably fine but anything above that and you run the risk of the air blowing out/misplacing the filter media. A good few taps on the ground and a light gust of wind will do the trick.
Replace it definitely the next service.
Came here to say this. Don’t be a cheap ass get a new filter
I love preventive maintenance....I have a zero turn thats 13 yrs old and its still run strong because I take care of it.....
Stuck in the good old days. I use a 1978 Cub Cadet 1200 54 in deck. Do all Maintenance myself
Looks similar to a Steiner I worked on at a golf course back in the 90’s. It had a 3cyl Kubota gas engine. And a lot of attachments
Steiner and Ventrac were started by the same family. I'm not sure when the divergence started or why.
Badass! Definitely admirable ❤
Great job 👍
Thanks
Get an oil filter claw, like $10-$20 at harbor freight and makes it so much easier getting those hard to reach filters.
Basic maintenance and simple repairs are always cheaper to do yourself.
If it's engine work, I just bribe the husband and brother in law. :)
Good shit man. One bit of advice, do not blow out your engine air cleaner, this is something most heavy equipment and truck manufacturers state. All you are doing is introducing more dust into the system then if you left it be. You can install a filter minder on most pieces of equipment and alternately just budget in an engine air cleaner with every oil service.
Good job! I love seeing stuff like this and I like to do my own work too.
Thanks 👍
You got it you put the oil statue is changing now😂
Haven’t seen that pan yet boss man but I’ll sure keep an eye out
For those who think you need to fill the filter, you dont. Its messy and isnt necessary. The filter will fill in 2 seconds after the engine starts.
these are such cool little machines
👍
Pro tip. Use actuator lubricant on the oil filter gasket and never use a filter wrench, plier or screw driver again to remove oil filters.
fluid film works goods too
@@jasontaylor4244 got that to, i might have to do a comparison. Thanks.
@@jasontaylor4244lve got some, im gonna try it.
I’m 13 years old and I love working on the equipment
👍😊
Motorcycle filters have octangular cans to seat a wrench cap with an extension easy job
Look up 3 jaw adjustable oil filter wrench. It might help on that back filter. Really helps having one around on a farm.
MEATBALL SUBS FROM SCRATCH 😊
Maintenance always good
👍
My dad has that exact channel lock
👍
Was taught to always put a thin coat of oil on the gasket aswell do it every time!
You need a 3 jaw filter wrench. Every day as a mechanic and it's rare to find a spin on filter it doesn't work on
For changing the rear filter use a piece of square tubing at least 12” long, cut a slot on the end deep and wide enough to put a strap folded over down into. Now slip the loop of the strap around the filter and use a crescent wrench on the other end to tighten the strap and remove the filter, the strap will tighten around itself and then loosen the filter no matter how tight it’s on.
Make sure to impact and give a few ugha dugas to make sure filters and nuts and everything is tight. Dont forget red loc-tight
An adjustable oil filter socket and a long extension will help you on the last one sir!
me: a employed commoner who will never own a home. "Ah yes, i will absolutely use this information in the future".
Always do everything myself. If I fail, then I take it to a professional hoping to learn for the next go around
Use the same grease you use to grease the lift cylinder on the filter o-rings, works awesome 👌 also, you should never push air through an air filter opposite of the intended direction of flow. Just buy a new primary filter, the secondary should be good, your tractor will thank you later. 👍👍
my dad used to jam a screw driver into the oil filter to get it off. seemed to work well. plus you wont reuse it so doesnt hurt anything
I’ve done that before
The only way , is to do it yourself and know its done right
Most definitely work on my own stuff. And what's funny is my little Geo Metro takes two and a half quarts of oil hehe😅😅😅😅
Nice work
Thanks
I always wondered what those tractors are good for other than just mowing and snow
*Wife needs the roasting pan back*
*Drives excavator bucket into kitchen*
I work on a farm and grease all the equipment and change all the oils. I also change the coolant if needed while buying the parts that need replacement, you can say I'm the mechanic but I also work with the cows
👍
I'm pretty much a mechanic I work on my own stuff for two reasons one so I get it done cheaper but too so I know it's done right I've heard of many shops purposely damaging stuff or not telling you about stuff so you have to come back later and I'm not saying all shops are like that but I don't want to take the chance of happening to go to one of them
As you should always use clean oil to lubricate the seals on filters
Get er done ✅
THAT IS SUCH A FREAKING CUTE TRACTOR. (I think its a tractor?)
I usually dip the new filter in the used pan instead of the new oil.
Working on my own stuff ❤
I've only ever paid for repairs once in 30 years. And that was because I didn't have a press capable of dealing with kingpins. So I took the whole axle off and took it to someone with a press.
Operate one of these at work, amazing machine…. It’s and shame normal folks can’t afford one
Got a 10 year old troy bilt. Never changed the oil or filter. I'll run it till the wheels fall off...
Same. Always work on my own stuff.
Yes! Aggressively overcompensating channel locks for the win again! (One of my best tools 😂)
You know it!
I do all my motorcycles, mopeds and cars myself.
Nothing is impossible, you're only limited by space, time and tools.
Now busy modifying my dirt cheap Yamaha diversion 900 to a brutal naked street fighter...
If you're going by the book it's generally best to just replace paper air filters. They're not that expensive and it does make a difference. But that one didn't look bad so I probably would've sent it as well.
The book says to change it after 200 hours👍
I thought this was a riding mower originally but now I don’t know, interesting it has hydraulics
Dollar tree roasting pan, dollar tree wife 😂😅
Basically asking if you're from Texas or not 😂 yes we service our own Toys 😂
I have a 21” Briggs and Stratton.
I ain’t never work on a lawn mower but I have started to work on my own vehicle I’e managed to save +250$ just from oil changes.
I'm not sure the procedure for this vehicle but definitely check the manual, my Mercedes-Benz and my Cummins say specifically not to prefill the filter with oil because you're introducing unfiltered oil into the engine after the filter which can put debris into the engine.
DIY er. "Want something done! Do it yourself!". Fifth Element bad guy.
If i was gonna spend that kinda money on a machine i would've gotten the one with a kubota under the hood lol
Heck yeah, 👍🏽 I work on my own stuff
👍
I Always do the work on everything i can physically do.
For what it's worth a pair of rubber dipped gloves work well for removing oil filters too...
👍
I don't want it done fast, I want it done right.
I do my best to always do stuff on my own
I walk on my own vehicle, my own door bike, my own doom buggy
Work
Please replace the air filter and don’t blow it out .Every-time you blow it out with air it reduces its micron protection. Always replace . I know this is highly debated but worth the cost and savings in your engine in the long run. It don’t take a lot of dirt ingestion to remove the cross hatching from the cylinder then you have no compression. JMO. Have a good day.
I didn't see the roasting pan anywhere brother. 🤞🤙
👍😂
“…and I have to do this every week.”
I work on my own equipment, so it actually gets done
I would say that the radiator screen should be cleaned along with the regular things you check during your PM.
Before, and sometimes during use, especially if you are working the machine harder, in hotter or dustier environments.
Check the oil and tire pressure and the air filter life, and make sure the radiator screen is not clogged with debris, along with equipment functions.
Every day, not every 100 man hours.
We checked the radiator screen way more often than 100 hours just showed it as one of the steps you do for that service
Good job on pre filling oil filter even though its a 90⁰. It does make a difference. Heavier wt oil less of a difference but it does.
Protect the #RightToRepair !!!
Only 100 Hours on that oil? That’s like brand new
Great job. I have the same channel lock as you
Very cool, love mine
@@hausplans they are really good. For people breaking in your house. ( haven’t had to use it for that. A torque wrench is a better tool for that)
Always work on our own stuff
Those roasting pans cost as much as a reusable drain pan at walmart
Nice
Thanks
Work on my own. Don’t just “like” to oil the filter gasket, it’s a must.😊
Your wife don’t need to be re using those anyways 😂
There's no better way to maintaining your equipment when you do it yourself because at least you know everything and put back in his right spot every bolt every washer every nut and every Fastener of every type and that you know it's done by code and by the book and by the numbers
👍
Better be careful with those battery powered grease guns. They put out something like 22,000 psi… even a hand powered grease gun can blow out seals and ruin bearings. I like the Lock-n-Lube attachment, those are nice when you have enough room to use em.
