I think this is the first video I've found that uses the exact model of riding mower I have. Had the exact problem with the spring rusting out. Silly me thought id just be able to buy a new little spring. Nope 😂 I'll definitely be coming back here when the new cable arrives though, good video!
Speaking as a retired mechanic of 40 years experience, change the name of your channel from "Giordano's Garage". It implies you're a mechanic. You're not. You are a kid with some tools and a dangerously low level of ability and knowledge. "I'm almost certain I turned the wrench towards the firewall"?!? "Unplug that black thing." Which? The one that's barely visible and completely out of focus? Look, you're obviously trying, and I'll give you credit for getting the job done, but get some help making the videos. Don't just grab your phone and say "WELP! Let's see what happens." Do some research. Learn the correct nomenclatures for various tools and parts. Remember that Loctite, die-electric grease, and Anti-sieze are your friends, but they do NOT go everywhere. Everybody's gotta start somewhere, just don't start out presenting yourself as a mechanic when you aren't. You're not even a Journeyman. You're an Apprentice at best. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Like I said, everyone has to start somewhere. If you've got the appropriate aptitude, and can learn without losing body parts (yours), you'll do well. Good luck.
1) The good news is I have a membership level on the channel where you can directly help with the production value! 2) Sorry, when I made this video I wasn't able to locate your video for help!
One of the absolute best tutorials I’ve ever watched for anything handy-related. You explained it so simply, so thoroughly, but also so kindly and not making someone feel silly for not knowing a thing. You’re a fantastic teacher - thank you again for this!!!
Hi. Retired mechanic here. Vacuum hoses are relatively simple, but vacuum is more complex than you (and most other people) may think. Start out by checking the condition of ALL of the vacuum hoses (hoses are soft and flexible, lines are hard and rigid). If any hose is dry and/or cracked, it MUST be replaced. Different vacuum systems require hoses of different inside diameters (I.D. All flexible hose is measured by its I.D.). When buying new hose, bring along small lengths of the old hose (about an inch or so) to match up to the new stock. Make sure what length you'll need. Some pieces may only be a few inches long, where others may need to be a few feet. When running all long sections of new hose, be careful to avoid sharp edges and turns, kinks, moving parts, and hot components (i.e.- any exhaust parts). That's the easy part. The hard part will be finding and repairing vacuum LEAKS, and learning which hoses need to be connected to which vacuum source. That should do you for now. Good luck.
What year is this? If by chance that this mower does not have the bracket at the very front of the mower the bronze color looking one at 2:30 in the vid, would the belt still work properly without the belt falling off? I was thinking about purchasing one but I dnt think it has that bracket.
Was hoping it would show how to install the whole piece. My k20 from the same year doesn't have any of it at all and need to learn how to do it. But this video will help me out regardless
I think my favorite thing about your videos is that your mower looks like a REAL mower...from the grime and grass under the deck, right down to the bungee cord on the gear shifter! That's a mans mower! Thanks for all the helpful vids Andrew!
My husband messed around for 3 days trying to figure out how to put the cable back, then we found your video. It was so helpful!! Thank you for a very clear video!
