EVERY Mechanic Should Have These Tools (Pt 1) 

Taryl,Thank you for all of your videos. They are fun to watch. You inspired me at 52 years of age now to offer small engine repairs as a way of earning money to eat. I constantly refer to your videos when I get on uncertain territory.. Thank you for your time invested in your videos. They are funny and you are a very clever man... May good be with you. Thank you

Thank you Sir for sharing your knowledge with the world. God bless!

Thanks Taryl. The tool box looking like "a junk drawer in someone's kitchen" had me cracking up. Appreciate you telling exactly what tools are needed & how to use etc.

I wanted to thank you. I have an 04 craftsman riding mower with a cv15. I was stumped on so many things and it's used for our church. I didn't have the money for parts but your videos helped me fix the carb with what I had on hand. Hopefully I will figure the belts out soon. Got the off but having trouble finding the size. I measured the v belt and it's about 42 by 1.5, however when I used the parts methods you taught in one if your videos. It said 1.5 by 88. So still confused but now I know how to rebuild the carb and look up parts. Thanks again.

"Well you got a rock and a stick" Laughed my ass off

Hi Taryl, thanks so much for doing this video. Great advice on tools to buy or make! Love the weedeater stand - inspired!

Great info from Taryl and the gang thanks guys

Taryl is the real deal! A breath of fresh air! Keep'm coming Taryl.👌

Knowing that he is from Ork makes his videos make so much more sense.

Thanks again I just got one of those for checking the rpm in a lot of old tools I just received from USA now I know how to use it

Funny vids and most informative, keep them coming.

Loving these shows, keeps up the good work guys.

Several tools there I didn't know I needed, but once you see how easily they do things you can't get by without them lol

Good information Taryl thanks for sharing

"What are those, rabbit turds?!" Hilarious!

I've watched almost all your videos now, a wealth of knowledge and entertainment in them all. Thank you so much for sharing your selection of suggested tools. You are so right, the most valuable tool is in your head. Brilliant application of self made custom tools to take care of various issues. I was LMAO at Slippers toolbox, his "hammer", butter knife, "shop towels" and gotta have the extra packs of ketchup. Would love to see you guys make a video on the replacement of hydrostatic transmission fluid in various riding mowers (such as higher price point tractors which call for regular fluid & filter replacement and entry level ones such as Craftsman LT1000 that say that no fluid change is ever necessary (b.s. on their claim because I had one that lost ability to go up hills but then drained and replaced fluid and it worked perfect afterwards. That trans had no provision for a drain plug. I presume the manufacturers of the entry level lawn tractors figure by the time it needs a fluid change you will have replaced the mower with a newer one and junked the old one = forced obsolescence.) By the way, Thanks for dinner! :-)

Thanks Taryl. I made a few of those tools and they worked great. Made life so much easier. Keep up the great videos

This is great! Love your homemade tools!

Good man , sharing the knowledge , always grateful .

thank you for sharing your expertise!

pricless info Taryl!! wish i would of known some of these great ideas before, would have saved time and headaches. YOUR THE MAN !!!

Thank you for sharing.👍

Nice video Taryl, I like the spring pulling tool. I am going to have to make one of those. I have a special video request. I want to learn how to safely increase the RPM on a kohler horizontal that is on an Exmark or a Toro G3 (I have a 27HP and would like to increase RPM slightly, so that I can run my Gator blades at near full speed when cutting without missing any grass. I have to go at half speed to cut everything.

Superb, as always!! Thanks!!

You guys are great! Slipper is so funny 🐴

Classic Taryl. May be best of all time.

Wiss said I also make some of my tools over the year's vary good class on your tools thank you for showing w us

Nice weed eater stand! :) It's amazing what you can do with a welder and your imagination. Where do I get a work outfit like that? Somethin like that would just drive the ladies wild! lol! Thanks for sharing all that.

YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST OUR THERE, BEST REGARDS FROM DENMARK

Big fan of taryl I have watched all the videos a collected some more tools on the way thanks again taryl

Thank you!!!

Great video Tarly, thanks

The position you were in hooking that spring you may want to invest in a jock strap lmao. Great video!!! I have learned a lot of valuable information from you and I want to say THANK YOU TARYL!!!!

LOVE dat trimmer stand & Z bend tool THANKS

NAPA ....No Affordable Parts Available.

Taryl...you are awesome! And there's your dinner

May I bring forward the nomination of Taryl & Co. as the main entertainment for GIE 2016 Expo. Anyone second my nomination?

Nice suspenders Taryl! Slide hammers work gr8.I had a few times I wish I had one. Bikers say if bat volts drop to 9, battery is not far from gone. Keep bike tuned up and use a battery tender I have 6 yrs on battery on Sporty 1200 . getting a compression gage and an old school torque wrench, and good feeler gages this week. Taryl, Thanks again for all the help you give us guys. 2 thumbs up!

I liked seeing all those specialty tools, and the ingenuity used to come up with your own tool solutions. Always glad to hear from Mr. Hose line crimper. Love when the alligator clips and such have something to say! Now I have to wait 'til next week for another great episode in the continuing saga of Taryl Fixes All...

You are awesome buddy.

thanks for sharing...

You are totally insane and FUNNY!!! But you KNOW your stuff!

THANKS BROTHER

When we are talking about lawn mowers I feel a bit like Patrick Dempsey ;D Because I love this movie: 'Can't Buy Me Love'

Thank you, Taryl :-)

Great video. Question...will the ultrasonic solution dissolve the epoxy used on some carburetors to reduce porosity like carburetor cleaner will do if you soak them long? Thanks.

cool vid lots of awesome information

Concerning stiff spring removal and re-connection: I broke down and bought a T-handle spring tool off of Ebay. It cost me around $7. Best money I have spent in a long time. Made a difficult job easy and fast. They are advertised as 'brake spring tools' or 'exhaust spring tools', but they both are awesome for the job.

Thanks I like all your Vidos make more

I had a c ring like that on my starter too. I have one of those Kohler engines but the ring is the same thing really. They are a pain in the you know what if you don't have that tool to get them off and I am sure many people ended up in the emergence room trying to get them off without the tool only to find that the darned thing didn't even budge!! I even stopped by a local transmission shop where I had one of my cars repaired once and they didn't know how to get it off. In all fairness I was not expecting them to know how that comes off because they work on different things. They have a waste oil burner and I take my old oil to them once in a while. That was my excuse to take the starter along for the trip. All they ask is that you don't mix anything in the oil such as antifreeze or brake fluid. Transmission fluids and other oils are OK, just no antifreeze or anything like that. I just take the antifreeze to the auto parts store and they can dispose of it free.

A butter knife is a screwdriver. Duh🙄 🤣

I made a couple of your tools also .thank you!!!

That is great advise I got some of thoese tool

fyi guys tool 670377 can be replaced by a #1 knitting needle (removal) .(install) tool is a punch of the correct diameter . can be used for tecumseh and briggs

I like your MOST VALUABLE TOOL.... Your Brain. So many people dont even try using it. There's your Dinner"

Great videos, I’ve learned a lot. Could you recommend a middle of the road priced tachometer. Thanks.

Woo buddy I'm nowhere near ready to tear an engine apart. Most I've done is rebuild carburetors. I wish I would have apprenticed at a small engine shop. I guess it's never too late.

Love the Mork and Mindy suspenders! Yeah those tools are pretty necessary, but an ultasonic cleaner is a huge time saver. Cleaning every Tecumseh snowblower carb that's been sitting for years can get old fast, Half inch of varnish. You know what I mean Taryl. You got bout 40 years experience, I'm at 15 with this stuff. I Have loved it and I have hated it. Through all of that shit though, I still love it.

Good topic.

Can you do a review off how to use the governor tang to speed up the engine rpm. I have a new Gx-690 honda, but i need more rpm...

Great videos Taryl, you might know this but didn't mention it, the Tecumseh carb tool is used to also set the float to the correct position that's why there is a flat spot in the center. There's your dinner !!

im more impressed by this guys ability to never break character than anything else lol

my homemade spring puller tool, chainsaw/trimmer pull cord handle with a motorcycle spoke, now there's your cheap dinner.

Bat load tester best tool and common need i seen..

You're hilarious thank you

i use simple green in my ultrasonic cleaner. purple power will turn some carbs black.

Taryl, I have the same Ultrasonic cleaner as you , only I use Beerymans carb cleaner that comes in the 1 gal. bucket that comes with the little parts dunk tray. And I set the temp to 120F. And it Gets-er-did.

Why am I just now finding out about the hose clamps them are neat as taters!

Always dresses to impress !!

What is the brand name of your tachometer that plugs into the spark plug? I like your show. I Like Kohler engine that is in my 68 WH Raider 12.. My JD LA145 has the Briggs sorry to say but it gets the job done..

Great video....just wish I heard from Mr. Testlight

Nanoo Nanoo. You look like that character from Mork n Mindy. Lol

Just mistakenly removed that same heavy spring on my garbage picked Yardman rider. Was looking at it wrong and though I needed it off to remove the deck. I was smoking my brain gears trying to come up with a way to pre stretch it with a turnbuckle and a couple heavy duty hose clamps then just hold it in place as I shorten the turnbuckle back up. Probably just try your way.

I use aluminum foil for the oil change drippings .. works well. For other stuff I have my hammer and my bigger hammer...one or the other usually solves a part problem by either a) fixing it or b) totally ruining it requiring a replacement ; either way, the bad part issue is resolved.

I use a torch tip cleaner, mostly on cleaning carbs.

Hey Taryl. I use Simple Green at same ratio in my Ultrasonic cleaner. Works wicked good...

Popped a flywheel off with a standard steering wheel puller/ balancer puller same bolts that fit my jeep 4.0 balancer

I’ve been trying to buy one of those lapping tools you use on valves. The one with the suction on the top, but I can only find the ordinary ones with the 2 suction cups on them. Must be a USA tool, because I can’t find one for love nor money here in the UK. 🇬🇧👍

Hey Mr. Dactyl, thanks for your videos! I learned how to fix my solenoid on the mower and the coil on the tiller. I heard my Momma say 'I'm thankful he can learn' so I think that meant something. I hope it ain't too late to plant. Say, do you take out your Big Eye and polish it every night, or do you just use eye drops? haha Also, do you have a LINK for some OrthoDentalOlogists? Hey, are YOU the 'missing LINK'?? haha. Just kidding. Those clothes look like the they came from the same Salavation Army that I go to! That's a '70's Disco shirt, ain't it? Oh well. You got them 's'spenders that make them Pride Parade folks happy too. Good deal. Well, not much else to say. Do you know if you order Wimmen from Amazon, will they fit in the house? I GOT MY DINNER. Hope you get yours too!

you forgot to say FEELER GAUGES lol although I am about to buy my first set tomorrow but I should have had one a long time ago oh well great to have for setting valves etc

My spring remover/ installer is a fifth wheel/ pin puller i bought at a truck stop for like 8 bucks I will have to remember that wire trick though.

Taryl Fixes All LLC love the video. One quick question about the weed eater. A buddy of mine gave me one, that exact model. And are those fuel filters in the gas tank are they all like a generic filter one fits all or there's one for every single style of weed eater. Thanks

Purple power turns the carbs black. I use water with about a cup of mean green in my ultrasonic cleaner.

A little trick to test your ultrasonic to make sure its working is to dip aluminum foil in it for a few minutes and it should make hiles in the foil. If it only pits it or doesnt change the foil at all, your ultrasonic is bad

Lol.. rock n a stick. Uh uh uh captain cave grass rat. Lol Hey T you forgot to mention a good compression leakdiwn testing kit.. ordid i missit... love yourvids.

To hell with the Cable guy.......you should have a show!!......

Staying alive like John Travolta!! Lol

Taryl, is it ok to use that b12 gallon carb dip on the mower carbs? Know its a dumb question but car carbs are different, I have a gallon of carb dip and wanna use it as long as it doesn't melt anything

Indiana Lederhosen!

HEY, Do a CLOSE UP on your wrench rack, I like dat!

💕 💞 💓 💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 *I LOVE SLIPPERS* 💕 💞 💓 💗 💖 💘 💝 💟

thankyou- blessings - bobknab

Thats a good dinner. Thank you.

could make a vidio using the B & S Tool 19545 leakdown tester. Thank you

you had mentioned that you had hats I would love one I think it would be good advertising for you im in Canada and I plan on doing alot of offroad videos let me know what you think

TARYL the pitchman tool salesman

turn the tecumseh tool sideways place flat side on the carb and the float on the other flat and that sets your float gap

Really don't get any better then that.............What's nice is it doesn't go away, always there to pull up on the interscreen. To bad slippers blew his Lottery Winnings :( Go Grass Rats ! Would like to see a video on what kind of home use equipment Taryl would buy if he had to buy some home equipment, He's worked on everything, some have to be a better buy then others, and who would know better then Taryl.

Wait a min the suspenders are the tip of the ice berg he's in full drag wtf Tim what's Mrs dactyl gonna say about this lol

them slide hammers look more like finger pinchers!
