REVIVING A $100 JOHN DEERE MOWER (BLOWN ENGINE REPLACEMENT)

Thank you. The process of washing the engine itself would not be superfluous.

I found your channel a few months back. I am no small engine mechanic, but I love to buy and flip on the side. Mowers, chainsaws, weedeaters, etc. I’m starting to get pretty good at it, but always happy to learn new stuff. Your channel is one of the best for helping me do that. I appreciate it!

If you have time, do a break down of the blown motor, its always good to see the failure points because its usually not just one thing that goes wrong, but a series of things to go wrong

I really like your yard looks great I wish my yard looked that nice.

Hello, thanks for this video and sharing it with us! Greetings from Germany and have a wonderful weekend 👍💪🌞🍀😘

Nice job Alex, that thing looks new!

I am retired and to keep myself occupied I work on John Deere ride-on mowers, for what it's worth I just drop off the mower deck as a matter of course. Makes things so much easier.

Never those kind of finds in Hawaii. Damn that's a score! Good find. 🤙

Turned out great.

Enjoyed your video's, I have a JD D-100 so I learned a lots thanks.

Wow alex again you did good atleast you got the other engine to get that lawn mower back up and going

Great job brother Alex 👏 👍 thanks for sharing buddy 😊

Blown engine replacement better than taking it apart to get it fixed up and running again The Head lights look like a front end of a certain year model of a Chevy truck glad you have a replacement engine for this one Alex

Smart move. Changing the engine shroud was super slick.

THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

2004 LA 105, i fix them and many others all the time or every day, im a lawnmower machanic and i have a LA 105 that i now call Frankenstein i have put 5 different engines on it for fun and to test them for other tractors, walk behinds, zero turns, what ever, i enjoy watching all your videos 🔧🔧🔧🔧🔧

Nice job Alex! Glad to see that ol' 'John-Man' running again. Love the defibrillator cabinet for the starting fluid!

I have a 2008 JD LA115. The deck rotted out on it, but I bought another one and can't get the blades to engage. This video is what I needed so maybe I can get mine fixed. Thank you for this video and keep them coming. Great job!!!

Thats a great job. Looks like new. I have a 2004 Murray that my mother in law gave me. In 2019 the engine started blowing oil out all over. I was going to rebuild the engine, however the cost was going to be around $300. I found a 2004 Craftsman GT 5000 . It was in bad shape. The owner told me the engine would run, but smoked. So i took it home and swapped the Kohler V twin 25 horsepower for the 12.5 Briggs. The biggest problem I had was the drive pulley for the blades . The Briggs was 1 inch the Kohler was 1 1/8 inch. What I did was take the electric clutch apart and used the lower piece as an adapter I had the 3 pieces welded together and it works great. The only electrical was the starter. The Briggs uses a solenoid from the battery then another cable from the solenoid to the starter. The Kohler has a battery cable to the starter,and a small wire to the solenoid on the starter. I used the Briggs solenoid, and a heavy cable to the starter and a small wire to the solenoid. It works great. The only problem is, if something stops a blade the engine doesn't bog down, it tears things up. The Craftsman was a 48 inch cut, the Murray is a 40 inch cut .

That is awesome! Nice Job!!
