1) I took off the yellow factory oil drain plug and installed a 1-1/2" brass bushing on the engine block drain & then reinstalled the yellow drain on to this brass bushing. That made each oil change, going forward much easier (no tube needed & no oil mess) as the oil now simply drained straight down into the pan. The brass bushing cost me $2.00 2) Before removing the oil filter, get a regular paper plate , and bend it in half (putting a V in the middle). Then slip the bent plate under the oil filter and proceed to remove the filter. "NO MORE MESS." 3) Your fuel filter is dirty and should be changed. Ebay has them, when I last looked, 5 filters for $2.50

Thank you for watching and commenting! I eventually just replaced the oil drain valve: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK2Wi9N-lrCWl2g.html The only thing I'd do different now is I'd use galv pipe instead of black pipe. And I started using a milk jug for my oil filer catch: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qK2Wi9N-lrCWl2g.html

Dennis thank you for your clear and concise instructions. I was searching for KZfaq for blade sharpening when I came across your video. I learned that I needed a clear plastic tube to help drain the oil. I didn't have one, so I thought. I went back to my manuals, which I keep in large Ziploc bags, and found the tube along with a deck hose adapter. I too don't like having to keep up with extra parts. For my first oil change I improvised by cutting an old shoebox top in half and fashioning it under the oil drain plug and oil filter to divert as much oil as possible. It worked well to keeping oil off the frame. Since you helped me, I'd like to offer a tip. I usually drain the gas from my lawn equipment engines during the Texas winter month so that old gas doesn't gum up the carburetors over time. I put an inline shutoff valve between the gas tank and fuel filter which allows me to shut off the fuel and run the engine until it runs out.🙂

@dwcoffey 20 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching! Glad you found the drain tube. Check out my other video showing how I modded the drain port to eliminate keeping up with a tube. I agree, don't like extra parts. Your tip is great, I do the same with all my equipment. When it's time to store, I shut off the fuel valve and run the carb dry. Saves on a lot of maintenance. It's an old tip from my Dad. :)

It helps to take 2 pieces of wood at least 2 inches and place in front of each tire on the opposite side of the oil drain and push your mower up on the blocks of wood, it helps the oil drain faster that way and makes sure you get it all, I'm really kinda surprised he did not do this.

Dana, same kind of situation here and you can easily become overwhelmed with having to learn so much technical/mechanical stuff. City girls do have potential though, and when you have to do these things, I will say you start to get confidence. It's way cool to be competent, but sure takes some grit and patience when you've spent most of your life and never had to do the "man things." You go girl! And agree with you, Dennis Coffey is awesome with what he teaches.

Great video. Seeing the oil spill when removing the filter was super helpful. Knowing that was going to happen I built a triangle with raised edges with foil. Slid this under the filter before removing it and it funneled the oil perfectly into the catch pan.

Another great vid for newbies Dennis. Kudos. Punch a hole in the filter to drain it and put a thin rag atop the chassis before spinning it off. I saw your later vid on replacing the quick oil drain valve - instead of a cap on a nipple. On my old one I terminated w/ a 3/8” air line ball valve (I removed the handle and store it with my tractor stuff. I haven’t done it yet on the current tractor but I’ll probably just loctite double-nuts onto the valve handle shaft, and turn it w/ a nut driver.

Suggestion : for the filter side , to prevent all the oil on the frame , utilize an old gallon jug and cut it lengthwise in half just below the “tapered” top part of the jug, kind of like making a scoop . Trim it to fit just under the filter area and assure that the top of the makeshift “reverse funnel”is pointing to the waste oil receptacle . Keep the cap if it helps control the spillage.

Dennis, after I've drained the engine oil, and to avoid spills from the horizontally placed oil filter, I drill a 1/4" hole in the outside bottom edge of the oil filter. I can still place my filter wrench over the filter for its removal after the filter has drained of oil. It's a lot easier to wipe my drill bit than it is cleaning up all that spilled oil. -Gerry, Kirkwood, MO USA

Tip , take a 16 penny nail and pierce the bottom of the oil filter... (make a hole) then do one in the topside... let it drain, then take a rag put it on the frame, then spin off only a little will get on rag..... you can make a v shaped trough out of aluminum foil or plastic jug and slip under the filter to catch the oil... good video....

Hey Dennis, great video, a little trick I use when changing the filter is to make a makeshift pan from aluminum foil to place under the filter to make it less messy. Also changing the oil while warmed up it'll come out quicker. Good video, great work.

@dwcoffey 7 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching and for your comments, Matt, I appreciate it. Yes, a couple of other folks have mentioned using tin foil, paper plates, etc for a makeshift drain...all great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I actually have mixed feelings about warming the engine before draining the oil........on one hand, I agree, it will help drain the oil better. But on the other hand, it also stirs up any sediment that may be in the oil pan and prevent it all from draining....so, not sure which way is best :)

Here's a tip...put a paper plate with several paper towels in it under the filter before you take it off. It will catch all of the oil. No oil on the frame this way. I use the Fram Tough Guard TG3614...instead of the OEM filter. It's longer, but it fits behind the cowling...and for 4$ you can get the Fram end cap wrench. I couldn't find an end cap wrench for the OEM filter. Fram customer service confirmed that the TG3614 was a better filter and would work as a replacement for my OEM Briggs filter...same as Fram PH8170. Here's another tip...use a gallon jug to catch the oil from the drain...that way you can put the cap on it and it won't spill. And, the mower is up high enough for the jug to sit right under the oil drain so that the hose fits right in. Better by far than the way that you're doing it. I save and use the gallon sized Arizona Iced Tea Jugs because they have screw on caps. Just thought you could use some advice after seeing how you're changing your oil.

@dwcoffey 7 жыл бұрын

Great ideas Ed! I save my empty 5qt jugs that my new oil comes in. I can run the hose into one of those empty jugs. I haul a bunch of them to the parts store after a round of oil changes at my house. Thanks so much for the tips....way better than the way I'm doing it!!

@damoncrowfeather4655 5 жыл бұрын

I usually just place a few paper towels under it.. but the plate is a good idea, to catch any oil that soaks through.

@ericsalsbury9392 4 жыл бұрын

I was going to say the same thing. Stiff paper plate under there to drain into a pan underneath. Not a drop touched the frame. Popping out those clips from behind is a pain too. I brace a screwdriver head against the back of the clip and then press on that to save my fingers a little soreness. Either way, another great video, Dennis.

Good video Dennis. For the oil filter, I'll use a milk jug. I cut from the bottom corner about 2.5 inches up the side and about 2.5 inches across the bottom and make it about 6 or so inches long including one of the curves on the side. I slide that under the filter and the oil drains right into the pan. I do put towels on either side just in case. I wish i could add a picture because its hard to explain.

Changing oil and not the filter doesn’t make any sense, filter should be changed every time. I use Synthetic 10w30. I put a paper plate under the filter and spray the frame with parts cleaner when done, seems to work pretty good. Just my input.

Dennis, I thoroughly enjoy your videos, they are done with common sense, good camera work and simple easy to follow understandable language. I have a suggestion that will help lessen the oil mess that spills during the filter removal Take a plastic jug such as a gallon size, ,, and cut the bottom half off at an angel, like you were going to make a scoop out of it. The neck is the handle, the bottom is the scoop portion. After you get the filter partially loosened, place the open enc of the plastic bottle under the filter, then continue unscrewing the filter, the bottle will catch the overflow of oil, after it is completely unscrewed, let it fall into the plastic scoop, then place it into the oil pan manually. Job done and less mess. I hope this is of use to you. Thanks for all of your great videos. Millard

@@dwcoffey Dennis, Thank you for the kind reply. I love all the videos you have produced that I have seen.. I agree totally with the removal and replacement of the yellow oil drain valve, that was poor engineering from the git go. You have a varied array of information and knowledge. Like the drywall repair in your garage, masterful job, never saw it done so well and so informative. I will tell you what I would appreciate very much, if you can either produce a video or point me to one you know of for electric meter testing use.... I have looked at many You Tube videos for use of meters, all are on no use to me. I am meter ignorant...none of the meters are even similar as mine in the videos, and the terminology is all different for each use they apply it to. I don 't know an amp from a microorganism... If you can provide any help on this I would be very thankful. I would be thankful to be able to test for continuity for one thing. Thanks in advance and keep up the good work. Millard Gillen

Thank you so much sir... I have never changed the oil on a tractor before. Didn't have a clue what I was doing (and the manual is 0 help, lol). Oh and here's a tip for you, if you take the little plastic cup (that the cardboard backing is attached to) that comes over the top of the new oil filter instead of throwing it in the trash, stick it under the filter when you remove it, all the oil drains into the cup and not all over the tractor frame! Then just empty the little cup full of oil into your disposal oil and then throw the plastic thing in the trash. Worked like a charm for me!
