Wizard tractor gets a 26hp V-Twin Briggs & Stratton motor

[guitardavid79]

I don't think this is the biggest Briggs makes. I think they have a 32 hp. out now. Kinda rare, I haven't seen one yet, except on the internet.

[fidoshock321]

on my craftsman it used to have a 24hp brigss els intek that the guy didnt check the oil and it threw both rods so me and my dad put a new engine on it. it now has a 27 horse briggs

[pivotboy63]

that thing looks pretty new to have an opposed twin on it, did you guys put that in or was it made like that? briggs stopped making the opposed twins in the 90s didnt they?

[photoimagedisplay]

You guys are so cool. Are you like process engineers. I have six theories of R. floating in my head but yea cutting gardens is really what its about at the end of the day.

[ajsullyvincennes]

If the rebuilt motor is such a piece of shit, Why are you putting it on your mower? WTF?

[dannylovestechno]

look like someone drink a monster befor going to bed !

[mhtube01]

So many Briggs engines just suck. I've never had to deal with one of these ELS engines thank god but my 1999 tractor has a 13 hp Briggs Intek single and it is complete shit!! You can't even run it on half of low throttle without it running all choppy and far from smooth. The engine even dies out if you put the throttle all the way down for whatever reason so you always have to keep it at full. Even then it doesn't run that smooth. I have push mowers with Briggs engines that run ten times better.

[danel3591]

I Have one the old opposed twins on a wards, I love it, so smooth and quiet.

[wheely132]

is that a calculator on your watch? i have a casio g shock.

[tworiversbuffalo]

this could be a better how to video if you slowed down the removal and explained what you were doing. I'd actually like to learn something LOL

[Mississippi1313]

that has to be my favorite lawn tractor you guys have.

[Corey497]

waste of a engine..

[Nza420]

Wish i had that much energy at 11pm! Enjoy it while it lasts! :D

[counterman4]

what did you do with the old one

[LynolsOffice]

Sold it to a fellow YouTuber.

[82Craftsman74SearsGT]

Yea that's me!!

[BlueBirdTC2000RE]

whats the name of the song during the removal of the 16HP Opposed twin

[LynolsOffice]

Well, it's Dave's yard, but since it's filled with stuff that belongs to both of us, I called it "our" yard.

[jp23jd]

yeah I got a 24 horse ELS and it is really fucked up (cracked block, valves are shitty) and it only has around 70 hours on it!

[fordkillschevy]

love the cheasy background music!

[b18c5integra]

dave from daves farm wouldnt of had to take the hood off hes that good

[supermanboy9]

hell ya

[giberish9]

I take it you forgot about his JD.

[tocaracer06]

he could probably fit a bigger engine on that and take it up sky hill

[b18c5integra]

put some suspension on it so he dosent kill it goin up sky hill when he gets air!

[theweirdthings]

@b18c5integra just easier to take it off rather than pissing around tryin to slip a wrench in there

[msaxmatt3]

extended lie series

[douro20]

And all the Herb Alpert music...

[davidredhawk]

"dirt and shit" lol good job guys

[grizzlybaseballer]

I have one of those new Briggs & stratton motors on my 2006 snapper rear engine riders and it SUCKS. I am having the same air filter problems as you. You should see how dirty my intake pipe is.

[CBR600F3ROX]

Don't mow any step inclines that engine had a problem with circulating the and it will throw a rod and mess up the piston! I know i have rebuilt 6 of those motors that threw a rod and 3 that sucked dirt and ruined the pistons and valves. you can change that filter over to the new style that briggs made, its like an ATV clamp of filter.

[LynolsOffice]

Ha, cool I have rebuilt 6 of these too! Yeah, they sure do suck, but in the end it means I get them cheap. I would never be able to have one if they were reliable, lol!

[backwoodsctryboy]

no telling how may of those engines ive warrantied due to dirt injestion from air filter failure

[Motorfordtoyota]

[stlouissux9119]

[wheelhorseL106]

whats your email and give me a call

[giberish9]

Did you have to modify the wiring harness? I was thinking about doing a similar swap on a Simplicity 6216.

[LynolsOffice]

Yes, we did have to modify the harness. The newer motors use a different type of connector. We traced out each wire in the new motor's harness and then soldered the existing wires onto it.

[BobbyFlanders]

hey that new engine looks like the one thats on my Yard King 20hp that thing is relly reliable briggs engine. hey do u by chance want to get rid of any garden tracters that dont run. ill give u $20.00 for each message me

[LynolsOffice]

They're usually worth more in parts than $20.

[30GB]

hey will you sell the B&S 16hp? how much will it be to ship and the price i might buy it off of you message me thanks

[rednecksinspace]

Was that the $100 engine Briggs V2?

[LynolsOffice]

No. That one went on Dave's Craftsman DLT2000. We did get this motor from the same guy on eBay though. I forget what it cost, not much more though.

[Tractorracer5812]

where did you get those pipes?

[LynolsOffice]

MTD's web site.

[mowerwizerd]

what was rong whith the engine that was on there

[LynolsOffice]

Nothing really. It could have used a carb rebuild, but really it was fine. We just wanted a more powerfull and newer motor. And I'm sure that old 16 will go on somethig else soon.

[powerbandthriller495]

lol nice i love how you guys make it look so easy to the people that havent done it before, been there about 10 times

[Smallgasengine1]

Why did you have to RUIN A GOOD HONDA MOWER?!

[LynolsOffice]

Hey, it's not our mower, it was Daves mothers. I think she hit a rock...

[Smallgasengine1]

Lynol what do you it bit the dust?

[LynolsOffice]

I mean it died. Bent shaft or something.

[Smallgasengine1]

lynol can you do a video of the honda mower at 0:53? please i never seen a new honda mower before im guessing the hrx?

[LynolsOffice]

Sorry man, that thing bit the dust a few weeks ago. (this video was recorded on 8/24/08 actually)

[Titliest07]

you work on stuff late!

[digitalrailroader]

was this the Mower that decided to crush your Finger?

[LynolsOffice]

Thats the one!

[adb140275]

and btw, whats the song at 7:04

[LynolsOffice]

It's a snippet of Herb Alpert's "Spanish Flea"

[adb140275]

makin dave do all the work there at first lol

[gasman7777]

that idea for the foam filter sounds good. lot of power in that engine. why did you guys decide to do the engine swap so late?

[LynolsOffice]

That might have been the weekend we built the shed, so we had to use the daylight while we could.

[gasman7777]

oh, well at least you could sleep in late the next morning!

[dangeroustoys56]

Youre right- thats the most idiotic idea briggs has came up with- that air filter setup. The furnace filter idea sounds like a good alternative.

Try contacting briggs on that- they have either a retrofit kit or could possible get a free motor.

Its hard to believe these motors could be brot down by something as plain as dirt/dust- must be the chrome plated rings wear out?

I have a couple old 'beater' briggs motors i dont use any air filter on- theyre still workin fine- just goes to show...

[LynolsOffice]

I think the idea of the filter shoved in the gap will work, especially since we're not mowing with this one, we won't be creating any dust. What you can do, and some people have done is put on a top from the B&S Intek v-twins which uses the same filter BUT the cover is held on with bolts. All the ELS motors we have already have been replaced under warranty through Sears; these are the dead ones from customers tractors. Mel-Co gets them from Sears and then re-sells them on eBay for parts.
