 everyone shipper 1000 here and this is going to be loud but listen to this the engine out on an idle which it shouldn't do that of course you're not supposed to kick it in on an idle but it's not supposed to stall out either so we smell a vision you could smell this belt so we got to change these well actually this belt is flipped see that groove right there there's not supposed to be in there so one of these is seizing up and the other two I'm sure are making all the racket well I think this one here I think this one here is actually seized you get this raised up hand under here okay yeah this one here it's not seized but it's having a really yeah so all right I'll show you what we got to do so we've got our spindles here and like I said before these spindles yeah they got grease fittings on them see but these are sealed bearing so you're wasting your time and money by shooting grease in them we got three new blades three new spindles we got a new belt those come with bolts and we've got our pulleys so it takes two this size and believe it's the final one takes this all right so that's what we got to pull on but first we got to take the deck off at least get that done tonight I know you can't see real well but we've got a pin here we've got a pull on each side we've got one right up here that we got a pull on each side and there's one up front and then of course our belt so I'm gonna go ahead all you gotta do just pull these pins out and this will slide off trust me it slides off there's still a little bit of weight hanging on it but that'll slide off same way with the other side same way with this one you can't take that bolt out if you want I find it easier just take the pin out and then the one up front right up there and you can't see it so I'm gonna pull them out and then I don't know if I'm gonna slide this deck out or run them over over top of it I'll probably just slide the deck out we'll see hang tight guys there we go now here's our deck so I think what I'm gonna do tonight I'm just gonna hose that off and I'll start on the rest of the stuff tomorrow oh this is the middle one here I'll allow that is this one's the same way get noisy let me see sent me the wrong damn pull these guys well I'll just use my pull these yeah that one's actually quietest hi I'm gonna pop these off there's just what one two three bolts on there and over here on this side it's got two okay then I'll hose that off and then yeah some of the wrong damn pull these well one of them is right that one's right all right anyway stupid idiots all right let me get these covers off of here then I'll get these I'll get this hosed off check this out guys gotta pull you over there pull it here pull it here pull it here we've got an idler pull it here what's that they're supposed to be one of these right there where did it go it's gone it is freaking on so I was still pretty quiet I will save this one this one's shot these two are shot won't save that one use that for back up definitely gonna have to get one of these so this won't be done tonight anyhow but we're in the hell did it go of course it's no good anyway but shit all right guys I'll be back with you maybe tomorrow but for you either way I'll be right back okay guys so I've got this all washed down all the dirt out of it I have a pulley I did find the old one I have a pulley for this that will fit and I want to go buy another one because the other one's that's not gonna last very long and well I couldn't get one so neither of our hardware stores even loads they didn't have it this deck is getting the paint's getting bad on it I think I got some yellow paint I'll just shoot on there to kind of help preserve it a little bit you know guys I know I'm not rebuilding this deck I'm not restoring it this is working machine so I don't care now this I did not wash this out I honestly didn't this is just from what splashed over from out these holes and stuff when I was hosing it off so this yeah this this is how clean it was so I haven't touched this because you know I gotta take these off piece of my old pair of cord there's some wire wrapped around here for something and you can hear them you can hear them now now it's quiet I am going to change it but I'm gonna keep it case of an emergency but yeah I see these look how bad that's worn down because I went out one day how bad that one is it goes from bad to not so bad to this is pretty much what you would expect down here with all this sand we've got but I went out that smoked cigarette one day she was out back mowing I seen a whole bunch of dust and I was like what the hell and I came out she was mowing with a flat tire the rear tire was flat on this side so that's why that got worse than the other two because you know it goes from low back up to a little higher so but I do have new blades so I'm gonna drag this back over here I gotta get my garage cleaned out I know guys here's a pulley I need it's feeling a little crusty these are still bearing so he can't grease them I do have that little needle thing that goes on the end of my grease gun that you can stick down in here and grease that but I conveniently cannot find it I usually just leave it on the end of the grease gun it's not there so it has fallen off or something but they call punch a little hole in there and maybe put a little bit of oil in there this is only got a last for the yard one more one cut because I got to get this I got to get this yard cut it's it's bad so so this worked for that Monday the tractor the actual tractor store where monkey ran into that customers riding mower it'll be open Monday so I can get one of them there so it's only got a last one time and I don't have to pull the deck off to change this so it's not a big deal it'll work for today we can get the other stuff back on it so let me get this drug back over here and let's commence to commencing we'll get the I don't think I'll have to take the blades off of these yeah I will because I'm gonna need that nut I was gonna say I could just pull them off and throw them away but I will need the nuts off of there and of course I got to use these pulleys so not a big deal like I said let's if I got some yellow paint and shoot some yellow paint on here because you see how this flakes off same way with the defenders or some people call them a deck but yeah see how that's flaking off that paint just flakes off right over here it flakes off now if you look at mine 1974 that don't do that see how it rust but it's wearing through it does not flake off look how much better the pain is if this was painted the way hers her newer one newer style that thing would be gone there'd be nothing left of it but anyway guys I don't know if I want to paint this thing or not some things I just like to leave alone and it'll probably be like that for a while I may I may paint hers excuse me I don't have to worry about the front because it's plastic or fiberglass I think it's plastic but you know I was gonna do it this summer and I haven't done it but because I got to take all that off I don't know if I'm gonna take it clear off I may just take the plastic what plastic will come off off these rubber feet these mats here the running board things I'll take them off probably just you know tape that off or something just so it doesn't look too bad and I'll scrape off what comes off and what don't don't like I said it's a working tractor we're not ever going to restore it we're just going to run it till it doesn't run anymore or until that deck goes bad and we'll build something out of this because I'm not I'm not paying $1,500 for a used deck $1,000 for a used deck you know for a $500 tractor that's never gonna happen when this tractor cannot mow any more then then we'll just go buy a new you know a new tractor it won't be a John Deere though probably a crapsman but all right let's get let's get started on this thing okay so to my keen eyed gear head viewers are probably gonna wonder why I've got mulching blades on here and no block off plate well that's because it never had one but I ordered one and I got it but as you can see down here that's ripped out that shouldn't be like that I don't think it's anything we've done because that's some major damage I would say that was before she got it because she got it used got a big old hole down there so I'll have to fix that before I put the mulch the mulching cover on because you don't want to do it anyway with grass that high it will just stall your motor down bog it down stall it out whatever just too hard on the motor you only want to do that when the grass is already low so that was just a real quick thing so let me get my get my loud tools out here I'm gonna spin them off of there and then we'll lay it down and then we'll get to these ones I know this is not a it's not an impact saw there's those what that's from but it's not from this I do know what that's from all right onto the next so this belt retainer does not have to come clear off which is a good thing yet that night there's nothing left of it so I did was took this out it's still good and then pulled it back a little bit that gave me the room take the belt off I need the room I need to take the belt off okay so and then here it'll come off once I pull this pulley off because I've got a new one of these I've actually got two of these and one of these so what I was supposed to get was two of these and one of these but you know it is what it is so like I said I may I may or may not shoot I'll probably shoot some yellow paint there just in real bad spots but a lot of guys will tell you spray oil on there I don't do that because oil and grease and all that collects dirt right and once dirt gets wet it never drives so it'll essentially make it worse if I can get two more years out of this deck I'll be happy I don't know though we'll just have to see so all right time to get back to work sorry about the lighting guys but if I get you at a decent angle the Sun is gonna be right in your eyes and if I get you at a decent angle where the Sun's not in your eyes the camera is out in the Sun and it's very hot it's 91 with a real feel of 105 so I can only work about five minutes at a time so anyway what we're gonna do monkey's going to the store most of the time what I do or most guys will do they'll leave the blades on put something in it to hold it like I did this to before and take these off first well I didn't do it that way this time because well I wasn't thinking but if I have to hold this I can you can use your belt put your belt on there and you tighten your belt up it'll hold it but this is pretty good at air gun here so I think it's gonna be okay let's just see they've been off like I said about two years ago maybe three I did shoot some paint on there like I said guys I'm not restoring us this is not a restore video it's it I don't know if you guys heard that but that's that clunking noise chattering noise is what that Chevy's making sounds like the back end but anyway yeah that'll be so I gotta get the Toyota running so I can get into that tearing to that differential see what's going on sounds like some splines are stripping out on it but so anyway I'm gonna go in we'll get some parts you give that a tap it should come off of there don't beat on it cuz a little tap will work and we'll start doing this stuff first get the big big one on that all right then we'll take these off four bolts if you have to take these off for any reason and you and you're gonna put them back on be careful cuz they will break but if you're getting new ones make sure you get the bolts too because usually they break last time none of them broke but usually they will so just be keep that mind be prepared for that because that's that's probably gonna happen nine times out of ten I got lucky last time but it didn't matter because I bought the ones with bolts then as I did this time so all right let me get some stuff ready and then we'll start putting new stuff on all right guys I got them all out except for that one there the head is stripped because it just had so much rust on it so I'm probably just gonna grind out with the grinder doesn't matter that whole things getting thrown away anyway so also guys if you like that that spindle there still quiet as hell I'm gonna save it like I said these two this one's kind of noisy that one's the noises that's because if you think about it when this thing's cutting grass this one's cutting grass throwing it into here so this one's cutting grass and it's also cutting what that threw over here so it's doing double the work now this one is cutting grass but it's also cutting grass that came from these two so it's doing triple the work so usually and usually that outside blade will always be the worst even if you only have two the one that throws out it's taking everything from there as well as doing its own cut in its own work usually the the blade on this side is always worse but the reason why these two was worse was because I like it says she was mowing with that rear flat tire and just kind of mowing sand really is all she was doing that's what that's what did them blades in that's okay you know happens to the best of it I was like you can't be doing that why I said you're mowing sand I didn't know I had a flat it wasn't wobbling or anything you're not doing 50 miles an hour so yeah we had a good laugh I still laugh about it she always still says shut up it ain't funny well I thought it was funny then I think it's funny now those are actually all loose they're just sitting there while they're actually out so I'm just gonna go ahead and grind that off real quick the head of that and that should drop down out of there I'm gonna save these bolts usually if they're in good shape I'll save them these ones nah I'm not gonna save them they're not that great so okay oh monkey just pulled in so I won't take another little break and then I'm gonna grind that one off and then we'll start putting new parts on because I got to put the belt on I won't put some grease on that down there just that little bit where it hinges and you can put you can put like WD-40 or something like that on it but usually that doesn't stay real long so that's why I use grease it'll stay there that yes I will keep lubricated but like I said I'm not gonna put grease on these rust spots because that just that collects dirt you know dust and dirt and after a while that gets it gets wet and won't dry and then it gets bigger and bigger and bigger so that's why I'm not gonna do anything on the bottom of it you can choose some paint on it but sometimes if you get this cheap paint that likes the chip like there you can see where it's raised up water gets in there and it lays in there and that could happen to the bottom too so if it's clean like this one I wouldn't even worry about it guys but like I said this one I'm gonna buy another year or two and we'll go from there all right guys give me a minute okay guys we're just gonna show you one and I'll just put the other ones on off-camera because it's the same thing it's just repeated three times all right there's our new one it's gonna go in here here's our bolts so well I thought they was a little more they're a better bolt though I'm giving that now I'm just gone I got some grease back here just gonna dip them in some grease so that way next time it won't be so hard to come out yes you can use a you can use never seas or any seas or whatever you want to call it on here works just fine too I'm putting this on backwards yeah see that grease fitting on there don't do nothing these are sealed bearing so to me that's a waste of resources and I got grease on my hands can't get them started all right so you get the idea I'm gonna do that tall of them I'm gonna put the rest of them in and I'll probably go ahead and put the blades on I'll show you that because there's a certain way they got to go then we'll do the top two more okay guys so what I wanted to talk to you about was these blades they'll go on either way but there's only one way that work you're gonna want these to work whichever way it's gonna blow out every blade will have a curve it may not look like it's cuz this is mulching blade but it'll have a curve on that curves what blows the grass out and what you can tell is see right down here grass can't blow out this way right it has to blow out this way as you can see it's a nice little sweep around and out over here so you're gonna want these see this will be the wrong way because it's gonna be turning out what's gonna be turning backwards so now that we deciphered which way this spins now we know which way to put the blade on now these ones say right on it grass side that means that's the side you want the grass to be on so it'd be like that some of these don't say that but that's how you can tell so we know it spins this way and these things are gonna push the grass that way and not this way so that's good that it does say grass side I did put a little bit of grease on here it's saved for next time now a lot of guys will tell you don't grease something like that don't put any kind of lubricant on it because it causes like lug nuts causes them to come loose I agree with that I disagree with that very highly because grease is not a wrench it cannot loosen something okay so like penetrating fluid you don't just spray it on and walk away and come back and your bolt is mysteriously out that does not cause your lug nuts to come on if you're torquing your lug nuts down and they're coming loose or coming off that's a lug issue not a penetrating oil issue so you know I just I don't believe that but teaches on I guess that's all there is to that now we're gonna get our there is a torque spec on these I'm not sure what they are but there's also a forward and reverse on these guns apparently I don't know what they are got some seals like and see that I have to rebuild this all right okay sorry about that so I can get 140 psi out of this gun but I got it I got my regulator turned down to 120 and I just went till it stopped you're not gonna snap these spindles off at that kind of pressure you might maybe strip it but I doubt it so you know just go until they're tight yeah it's not gonna you know there shouldn't be an issue there alright guys I'm gonna put the other two on them we're gonna get to the belt there's a couple things I want to tell you about the belt okay guys I gotta hurry I got some thunder rolling in this is called an idler pulley all right and so is the other little ones the other two little ones like this one that's an idler pulley when they're flat like that that means the back of the belt is going to go on it right on it okay and if they got a V like that that means they're gonna ride belts gonna ride inside like that so what we're gonna do with this one we know that it's gonna have to come around here like this now most of these have a sticker on them this one used to somewhere I can't remember if it was on the tractor or on the deck but they'll have a little sticker with a belt diagram if you can't figure it out then what you can do is you can just Google it like this is an LA 145 John Deere with 48 inch cut I typed that in it'll get my belt routing but I'm pretty sure I can figure this out because I've had it off here before so it's gonna come this way all right it looks that belt looks like it was glued together right there looks like it was cutting half and glued together God what junks we junk we have nowadays right so I'm gonna go like this and I believe it went like this and over here so I'm gonna go ahead I'm gonna get these put on I'll speed you up through this because I gotta hurry I'm get this done alright there we go the deck's done now I don't have any of these keepers like this or those on the engine most most of them sometimes they do because that holds a belt on the pulley of the engine well this one is not set up that way this one this is what tightens the belt so it's tight all the time on the pulley on the engine because it's not turning in only turns when you kick power takeoff in so I think we're good to go man there's a couple places where this belt looks like it's been spliced there's one right there too anyway I'm gonna put these plastic covers back on and then we're gonna I'm gonna move this stuff out of the way we're gonna bring the tractor up here we're gonna put the deck back on hopefully it ain't raining yet and we'll try it out so yeah that's just a just a couple little bolts that hold those plastic pieces on just gonna go ahead and put them in and we'll be set okay guys we're almost made it all I gotta do is put what five clips in and the belt nothing's done but as you can see lightning too I gotta get this garage I'll be back with you okay guys real quick see if it sounds any better that one bearing that little one gonna be making some noise but yeah rest of them all right I'm gonna try it out and then we'll call it a day all right guys spindle swap real easy when it's not so hot now once it quits raining I can finish the yard it sounds a lot better I still got that one old bearing like I said Monday we'll go get a new bearing I don't have to take the deck it's in the open kind of in the center in the open ain't nothing to that just that one nut and then pull the old one off put the new one on so and it'll be a lot quieter than that you can actually hear the blades now before you couldn't hear the blades they're just making so much racket and the blades were so worn down you know you didn't get that airplane sound that you didn't get that now you do so it's good to go for another year maybe even two we'll see I know you're not supposed to cut one of sweat but it'll be all right because during a couple hours it'll probably be all dried out again and well you saw the underneath of it I put that clip in I even touch you underneath and that's the way it's always look because I always use that clean out hook it up to spigot so yeah good to go for another year or two so anyway guys thanks for watching I appreciate it shea bearer the myth man legend gone for now we'll see you guys in the next one bye bye enjoy the rest of your weekend
