 Well Let's put some new parts on this old tractor. Okay guys Now I wouldn't have to do this But since I'm gonna go ahead and check the brick the blades I'm gonna go ahead and pull this motor deck off. Now It's pretty simple There's a pin right there See a little pin sticking up there They had a couple back in here There's a pin up under I know you can't see it. Anyway, there's a pin up under there and There's a pin right up in there and there's a couple on the other side I'm gonna go ahead and yank them off then pins off and I'm gonna pull this deck out of here See there's another pin there another one up in there only one on the front so I'm gonna go ahead and pull them out and we'll get this out of here Might help if I take the belt off, huh? There's the pulleys. We got to change that one and that one and we're also It's all chewed up We're also gonna put a new new belt on it. So all I can get you guys up in here, but Guys, that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take that bolt out or that nut off and that We're yet Okay, that nut off and That nut off and I can drop these down now. This may have On top it may be a bolt. So you may have to get a No, that's welded That's welded All right, let me get some tools And we're gonna take him off there All right guys I'm gonna pull this nut off and this nut off. I should be using a deep well They're 15 or 15 at 15 millimeters. I should be using a deep well, but pretty on my gun. So that one Not too bad It's a it could probably be run again But I'm just gonna save it for a backup because you never know when these things will seize up as you can Tell them when that one did All right, and don't don't lose these nuts these nuts As you can see they've got a flared end on them that acts like a washer And see that little plastic piece there. It's a lock nut and goes on there and makes it tight So it doesn't come off. So don't lose them. Here we go. See that she shot belt shot All right. So what we're gonna have to do now is we got to go up in here I'm gonna get you up in here. We're gonna take that belt off Or take the belt off. We don't have a screen We got to get that belt off of there These are belt keepers that keep the belt from coming off. There's metal things right there So we got to get up in there We got to get this belt off. I forgot what's holding that Okay, I see a couple bolts All right, there's both there. Can you see right there's one and right across from it on the other side There's one right there So we're gonna take those off Next so we can drop a plate down so we can get our belt off so Let's get you flipped around here. I know you're not gonna be able to see much here, but There's 15. Yeah, those are 15s as well. Let me get a let me get a extension Since I'm on this side one. That's what the bolt looks like for it To now see the plate coming down now. We should be able to Make this belt come down out of there And pull it back up over top of that fan. I was really Guys, there's no one get in here to do this without getting in your way back in here. Damn it Anyway right back in here. I know you can't see it It's like it looks like a bolt get it off here. I'll show it to you But that's got to come out. All that does is go up there and keep that bolts on. It's a 15 millimeter I'm sorry. You can't see much but it goes right in top in top of the transmission Transaxle some people like to call them. I think that's the technical term would be trans axle because axle Kind of kind of it doesn't kind it does come right out of the transmission But it is the trans but you do have a transmission and you have axles So, you know, you don't call the front-wheel-drive car You don't call the transmission a trans axle. So why do you do this? You're following me because it comes out to this is a ratcheting wrench, but it won't fit over top because of the pulley so I Got to do this. Let's hurry it up. Alright guys. This is what that looks like. It goes down in like this Do not lose this. I mean you could use a bolt, but it's not recommended and I wouldn't recommend it Don't run it without them either because your belt will always fly off. So don't lose that I'll put that up there with the other ones. Whoops now we can Slide that belt right off of there. I'll show you what we're gonna do up here on the front We've got some clutch wires here. We've got a deal with Now they just plug on I can't show you because there's no way I can get up in the top But once you put your hand up there, you'll feel a little clip and you lift up on that clip. It's just a plug You lift up on that clip and it'll pop partial the way out and then you can just pull with the rest of the way out That's your electronic clutch and that's off of there now Let's pull this belt out son. Don't get that bolt out there Might be a 10 millimeter now remember guys. I don't know if you can see that But it goes in a notch Right there on your clutch keeps your clutch from turning. Okay, so what you're gonna want to do make sure You get that back down in there when you take this off Okay, so let's get that bolt out of there looks like a 10 millimeter. I think There's that notch which it's bent Can you see that it's been it ain't supposed to be like that? So we'll have to straighten that out and hopefully it won't break for breaks. I'll have to weld it So now we can get the belt off and it'll just slide out Should just slide right out of there See what we got now. I forgot another thing guys Jesus. I have to There's a lot of play there. I Had to pull the steering column up out no biggie Okay, guys what I did was I pulled that nut off the bottom of here Okay This didn't want to drop down this gear did not want to drop down. So what I had to do Let me get up started back up So what I had to do I Had to put the nut back on there Just till the threads went to the edge of the nut right game, and I'm sorry about the camera work But you get the idea I hope Just till the threads they didn't come through and I had to tap on that nut because you can't hit this gear Because this is plastic this piece right up here is plastic right there So you don't want to heat that gear and all you got to do is Lift this lift your steering column up a little bit. See that's a plastic gear that just fell out Lift this steering column up Just enough to slide the belt under it and then your belt will come off and there's the belt, okay? So I'm gonna grease all this stuff up before see that's plastic So you cannot heat that gear though it is metal now if you do make sure you have You have that up a new plastic this new Plastic piece here to put back in or else you're going to get a lot of wobble in your steering wheel So I'm going to grease all this back up before I put it back together And as you can see the belt The belt is roached. Okay, so we got everything off of here Now let's compare our old parts with the new parts Okay guys, here's the belts This is the old one of course Hopefully you can see that Where that's all screwed up right there now Sometimes on the back of these belts if your belt's not worn too bad you you'll have a number on it This one's worn and I'll show you what it'll look like It'll look like that Now if you hold these up together and your old one seems just a tad bit longer Don't be alarmed because remember It's going to stretch a little so that's the right belt Match your pulleys up There's the little pulleys Match them up. They look good match this one up Look good. Make sure they're the right height the right diameter in here Now as you can see See how nice that is Hopefully you can see See how nice and pretty that is now Look at this one so Something's got jammed up in there apparently probably a stick or something you got to be careful with that kind of stuff But some things you can't you can't help it. So we know we got the right parts Let's get this thing greased up under here and We'll get it put back together I need to tell you guys something that that little Plate that bar we took off right there that hooks on to your Uh your clutch right there It does not have to be straight and it's supposed to be bent. So don't straighten it. I didn't I caught it in time. So I'm gonna I need to get this put back on We'll do that here in a minute, but first Let's get These pulleys on here. All right One's gonna go there One's gonna go back there and I'll show you how they go on. Okay Okay, I think you guys can see that so the little one want to go back here Going to go up in there and the big one's going to go here so Let's get these started on here Make sure you've got your brake set too That helps loosen that belt as well so The big one the big pulley goes towards the front of the tractor And it rubs on the backside of the belt The little pulley goes towards the back of the tractor and it runs in the V-belt. Okay So Let's go ahead and Get these put back on here And then I want to tell you something else too about the back now I was having trouble getting you guys in there to see me take that long bolt out of the back But I'll tell you something about that It takes it don't have to be super duper Tight now back here in the back Where that one bolt goes That long one. I've got it right here. Let me put a little Dab grease on them threads Oh, yeah, YouTube is easy hate when people say that you can't get to it from this way So what I did when I took it out the same way as when I put it back in you can get your fingers up in here And you'll feel that hole Where it's got to go down in that And then you can start it from the back from behind the transmission As soon as I can feel Where that hole is Unless your hands are small enough You might be able to start it from up here But I didn't want to be in your guys's way Yeah, you can you can start it here Just like that but I went up through the back like this and took it out So that's the way I'm going to put it in so I'm going to reach my hand up under there And I'm just going to screw that in just like that Now you will have to unless you got a stubby wrench, which I've got some in there, but I didn't bring one out If you got a short wrench Then you can Then you can tighten it from the back. It might be easier for you and quicker But I didn't bring one out. I just happen to have this hand And just tighten it up again. It don't have to be You know like you're tightening head bolts on a 454 Chevy With a 672 blower, you know, you just Get it on there and snug it up and then that's And your belt's pretty much complete Except for putting that front plate on and that's just them two 15 millimeter bolts so remember That piece that holds the clutch in That holds the clutch in place Do not straighten it. I got to looking at it And it didn't look like it was a damage bend so And then I remembered I've done a few of these and I think the first one I ever did I got to thinking about that this was this is going back when these things were new You know electronic clutches was like wow, I got electronic clutch well back then I um I remember I straightened one and it wouldn't fit so and then I was like well I better tell you guys don't straighten it But I did grease everything up and needs greased Whatever you do don't get any grease on the belt, of course Try to keep your grease if you do just you know get something wipe it off And there you go. That's all you got to do to tighten that So this is going to go back up in here Now if you can get your hand around that clutch and start them bolts, that's fine if not Just use your uh use your extension and it's going all the way up in if you can always When you start your bolts finger tight run them up as far as you can run them with your fingers Always do that that way you know it's in there good and tight good and solid And you don't have to worry about stripping anything out Now before I forget I'm going to plug my clutch back in I'd like to show you that but it's uh I don't know if you can see this this cable That's what it looks like It's only one way it'll go on you can't mess it up There's no way you can get put it back backwards or upside down It can only go one way And no that's plugged in now Let's get These two bolts tightening our belts on and we'll give it a shot My god, it's really hot out here guys Race car The belt's done. I'm sorry about the bad camera work guys, but it's all I can do so the belt's on Let's see if it's any quieter. I should have started up for you guys That's that now next We get to do this we get to clean all this out I know I dropped a washer. There's one Right there. I think I dropped another one. I'm not sure But all this stuff's got to be blown out. I got another washer anyway flip this up here Underneath doesn't look too bad Now it does have one of them one of these sprayers on it Right there that you hook up your garden hose you turn your water on And sprays water in here and you turn your blades on And it cleans us out. It really does help. They're not as bad as I thought they were but this one's kind of kind of Like that and it shouldn't be so that one through that one This one's not real bad. So I don't know. I might just put another set of blades on it Here in the future, but right now We're going to go ahead and sharpen these up But I'm going to get this blown off first And I hear some thunder. It's starting to look nasty out. So this may be a tomorrow job. I don't know Said I know that the camera work was kind of bad But hopefully you'll get the idea. You can do this yourself Uh, let me give you some part numbers Okay, the big pulley Which is the one we replaced Part number through john deere is g 6 2 0 2 8 7 g 6 2 0 2 8 7 The little one This one that I'm going to keep I'll clean it up and keep it It is g x 2 0 2 8 6 g x 2 0 2 8 6 The replacement part I bought for this Is uh 5 0 4 dash 0 0 2 9 1 It replaces g 6 2 0 0 0 6 That's a sure fit again 5 0 4 dash 0 0 2 9 1 original belt the original equipment oem belt and original original equipment manufacturer is uh Would be g 6 2 0 0 0 6 2 0 0 0 6 Let me give you a shot of that you can pause it If you want And there you go All right, let me get this blown off and we're going to see what the weather is going to do because it looks like up here It's looking pretty dark Alexa told me it was going to rain so let me get this blown off And I'll get back with you now remember which way these come off so you don't put them on backwards Now what I'm going to do is I'm going to put my washer and my nuts back on The retaining nuts back on so that way They do not get lost if I get rained out And I have to continue later They won't get lost it's a special nut or a special washer It caves out this way that way when you put pressure on it It's actually a lock washer, but it's different kind of lock washers Now I've never sharpened these But you can see That indentation that's not supposed to be like that guys. It's supposed to be straight across So If I get them straight, I'm going to be taking a lot of metal off So I'm probably just going to sharpen them the way they are Just like that now if you got to replace these The part number is the part number I don't know but there's a number on it p a h five four Five seven and there's one below it one one five nine six So I'm guessing that's part number you can probably get something from that. I don't know if it's picking it up I don't have my glasses on Okay, here comes the rain. Let's get these inside Okay guys I don't know if you can see this but you probably can Okay, so we got the tractor done All we need to do is sharpen the blades Grease the deck up. There's grease fittings on On the uh, I put those uh the spindles in it all three of them brand new So I put I got the grease the greasable kind So I'm not going to I'm not going to sharpen them blades. They're just too bad You know like you got one more and more than the other I'll never be able to get them straight And that's taken off a lot of steel And those being not that old those spindles. I don't want I don't want it to be out of balance You know wobbling that you can't see or feel but that's what A bent blade one of them does have a slight bend in it. They're harder straight Will cause them bearings to go out then spindles to go out on you the bearings and the spindles bushings um, so I'm just going to get new blades. They were cheap I won't go ahead and get new blades for it. I'm just going to go ahead and run them ones now I know which ones came off of wear so I can put them back the way they were And then I will uh in it I've got something in my then Then uh, that way I can still mow with it until the new blades come in so And then I'll pull the deck off again put the blades on. I know you don't have to but I do it's easier to work on it Like that Then it is laying up underneath the damn thing. So anyway, I hope that helped you guys Uh Remember just uh pay attention on what you take off or the boats come out of and everything like that and you'll be fine So hopefully this helps somebody so I'm going to call it here this rain set in for a while. So Guys, thanks for watching. Remember stay tuned. I got parts coming. They should be here tomorrow for the scooter And we'll uh, we'll do it tomorrow uh If rain quits, I'm just going to go ahead and put the blades back on put the deck back on the tractor But if not, I'll do that In the morning Well, I'm still cool. So all right guys Shea butter the middle edge. I'm gone for now. Thanks for watching. Don't forget Friday night o'clock q&a live stream Bye. Bye guys. Take care
