If you own a newer push mower that lacks an oil drain plug on the bottom or side of the engine. Then the same opening you use to pour oil into the mower is probably also intended as the opening used to drain out the oil. And they consider this a design improvement?

[gigosai]

My mower hit a rock and sparked and stopped working. Any idea how to fix it or what it could be?

[SilentSinX7]

could be that you bent the crankshaft or you broke/sheared the flywheel key

I have a gas lawnmower piston shaft too tight and when i pull the starting handle the blade screw and Holder keep falling down and The gas mower will not anymore. When i turn the lawnmower shaft it is too tight to turn. How do i loosen the piston shaft of the lawn mower? and What major wrenches you recommend to fix the gas lawnmower piston shaft?

Steve

[highdeserthater]

NEVER loosen the connecting rod. the connecting rod will break or wear EXTREMELY fast if you do. you need a new connecting rod and bolt set. it should be tight but not that tight and it sounds like a mechanical faulty.

[steveho75]

When i start the engine first time right away the engine died when i am holding the blade handle of the gas mower. Now after i pull the starting handle the blade and boltset keep fall down After i tightend it with a socket wrench set. and Which way to tightend a lawnmower blade boltset? How do i solve this Problem?

Steve

[highdeserthater]

turn the wrench to the right until the blade wont wobble at all.

[steveho75]

Can i use a regular 10 W 30 Motor oil? How do i refill oil in a dipstick of lawn mower? When i put gasoline and oil and move the auto choke to engine position it started and the engine died and never start in a half hour. and I never hit nothing like a stong or rock with this new lawn mower i got. This time problem with new lawn mower i buy 2 months ago. How do i solve this problem?

[highdeserthater]

sounds like you need to take an advantage of a warrenty my friend. that mower sounds like its got some factory issue. they have that sometimes.

[timmy102345]

level it

[Mirah7789]

i have smoke blowing out of my mower it sputers than shuts off what seems to be the problem

[burntvalve86]

your supposed to warm the engine up first before you drain the oil out. The reason is so that the oil comes out thinner plus you get more oil to drain out.

[krankiev]

fucking idiot you could drain more than half of the oil if you drained it while the mower was LEVEL.

[Drekool17]

krankiev is a douchbag lol

if its level how would you get to the oil plug to undo it

DURRRR

[krankiev]

YOU are the douchebag... You take the plug out then level the engine, you fucking dumb ass.

FYI, there's a thing called a jack stand where you could lift it up and keep it level and still get at the plug. You're a fuckinf retard. drekool17.

[Drekool17]

dude why the fuck would you put a mower on a jack stand for something like this

[krankiev]

That was completely beyond the point you idiot... I was just stating a way it would be possible.

Don't drain all the oil out???!!! You HAVE to! otherwise the new oil will be contaminated and wasted! and you need to drain it when it's LEVEL!! THEN it will all come out! DUH!

------------------------------­------------

He said to drain it as long as the oil drains! When he said all the oil won't drain, he meant there will be an insignificant amount that won't drain(he used poor wording is all)out! Certainly not enough to rant about!! Overall, this video is good!!

[krankiev]

It's only good if you know absofuckingloutely nothing and are a braindead dumbass! This douchebag doesn't know what he's doing. The way he holds the mower, there is a pretty significant amount of oil left in the mower, so an oil change that way is basically pointless.

[coolbluelights]

Don't drain all the oil out???!!! You HAVE to! otherwise the new oil will be contaminated and wasted! and you need to drain it when it's LEVEL!! THEN it will all come out! DUH!

[krankiev]

dumbass the oil plug is steel not plastic

[dondawg00]

not on that engine, it is plastic junk

[krankiev]

than that mower is a terrible POS. Never seen something that shitty. Most are regular iron pipe plugs. Or steel.

[dondawg00]

We get these in the shop, they are wal mart 99 dollar specials, absolute garbage, people run up a bill on them more then the mower is worth, then never come to pick them up. Most people that have half a brain will realize that and just buy another one, some don't. I see people doing complete tear downs of these, to me if it dont start after cleaning out the carb and throwing a plug in it then its junk, simply not worth the time to fix.

[krankiev]

Usually. But it's fun to fix mowers for me. And with older engines.. well they don't build them like they used to. I think it's worth it to overhaul them, at least some of the more rare ones.

[dondawg00]

I enjoy rebuilding older Onans and Kohlers with the points and condensors, or the antique briggs with the actual hand crank, some have the brass connecting rods, you don't find that hardly anywhere on multipurpose engines anymore

[krankiev]

retard you drain it when its level dumbass!!!! you guys are only experts at sucking and failing! dumb asses!

[polarbear60]

Production is crap!!!!

[BasementBen]

Am I right that most push mowers dont have a drain plug? I thought riding mowers did.

[krankiev]

uaually they have them

[tjcrabtree82]

How would you get the oil out???

[reffup]

i think this duded a fag... no seriousely.. gay... and.. if you lay your mower back down so its not tilted.. youll drain the other half of your crankcase you JACKASS...

[krankiev]

100% support yeah he's a fucktarded douchefag.

[eltatertoto]

holy crap! i had no idea! that you could change oil!!!! i thought it was just a legend!!!

[suchfunstuff]

No way, man. This is the real deal!

On a serious note, that light 30WT stuff should only be used on engines that have minimal wear. I have had better results with heavier and multiweight stuff in older engines, because it doesn't burn off as easily.

[reffup]

i use 10 30... always... i dont use sae 30.. not even on brand new mowers...

[krankiev]

Nothing wrong with that. This guys just a fag in the video
