I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed whacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, zero turn mower, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on KZfaq and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

I did this conversion last year. To ensure the nipple the filter screws onto does not back out, I used a little Loctite on the engine side. To minimize oil spillage when installing the drain tube, I siphoned out as much oil as I could through the fill tube and then raised mower a little on the drain side. I always keep a few cans of cheap brake cleaner in my garage, it is great for cleaning up residual oil spillage. Make sure there is a catch pan underneath.

The Briggs and Stratton Twin has a 2 Quart capacity with a standard type oil filter. The EZ Change filter holds .8 Quarts which increases total capacity to 90 ounces instead of 64. When you change the EZ Change Filter, you're changing about 30 percent of the volume. I have done this conversion dozens of times.. I have found that installing the drain tube and draining the oil first reduces the amount of spillage when removing the EZ Change adapter.

@WaltDorsey Ай бұрын

Agree - Do the drain tube side first... If you want almost no mess, drive the tires onto 2x4 wood blocks on the side opposite the drain plug side (tips the motor towards that side) and make a Drain Chute from cutting up an empty used milk jug to route the pit you spill when the plug it removed. Then doing the "filter side" will be almost mess free - just a few ounces into a rag.

I'm going to do this conversion on my E180 as it's due for maintenance now. To avoid the issues with the plastic cap on the pipe, I'm just going to leave the factory bolt there and then when I go to drain it, use my little oil filter drain funnel from my Harley. That way I don't risk losing that plastic cap and the little under filter funnel will direct the oil out over the frame and down into my drain pan. The filter conversion is excellent. I wondered how that would possibly get all the old oil from the motor and now your video shows it doesn't. Thanks for making this video!!!

I had an E150 in for service today. Owner said they had done the EZ oil filter change last Fall so no need to change the oil. I checked the oil level per usual and it was WAY too low! So it seems they did the EZ oil change and never checked or added oil. So I topped it off and did the rest of the tune-up and returned it. I had recalled seeing this video on the subject some time ago so I just sent them this video and links to the Amazon parts for the EZ filter ($44 US) and conversion kit WITH filter ($16 US) and encouraged them to have me do it in the The Fall or next Spring. 👍👍

I see the points going for the ez change system. Lots of people don’t change their oil. It is messy. Even people who know what they are doing make messes doing oil changes, and it has a bunch of steps involved. With this you don’t even have to warm up the engine to “change” your oil, there’s no mess. A person may be more likely to use this, and that way they do end up prolonging the life of their engine a bit over never doing anything, but never as long as doing proper oil changes at proper intervals would. And John Deere makes a bigger fortune selling you their proprietary filters and oil. That’s the most important thing. I like how they tell the people using this system to add more oil as needed like they actually check their oil level ever, much less top it off. If they did that they wouldn’t use the ez change system.

@m.cooper1854 Жыл бұрын

Go to a JD dealer that sells lawn tractors and you will be told that their product is better because you can "change" the oil in 30 seconds without getting your hands dirty. That is their target market. Homeowners who don't want to drain or use an oil extractor and take used oil to recycle. The same homeowner who thinks it's ok to throw a quart of used oil into household garbage. I bought a hardly used E170 and did this same conversion a few months ago. The JD parts counterman acknowledged that every one of their customers who are DIYers has done the conversion.

@Really10801 11 ай бұрын

Great video, thanks for the insights... that said, it's so disappointing that JD would stoop to something like this, makes you wonder about their commitment to quality, the environment and their customers. One suggestion, you could shape aluminum foil under the oil drain plug to route all of the oil into a pan below... bend up little edges on both sides to channel the oil where it needs to go. This also works when you are changing the oil as needed.

Fantastic. I can see the idea of the easy/no mess changing of filter but leaving that much oil in and charging that much for the fancy filter seems criminal. I'm guessing they upped the filter change frequency so while you're not changing all the oil (and nothing in the sump/sludge/particles?), you're always adding fresh oil/additives, etc. to compensate. Too bad you can't unscrew just a filter from the easy change thing after removal, and replace that, then reinstall the easy change thing. Ideally, being able to add oil to the filter/assembly as well before re-installation on the engine. Next they'll be adding computer controlled engine that they'll force you to pay exorbitant prices to replace by factory trained mechanic when it should be repairable. Support right-to-repair!

Research shows that the main reason they did this was to encourage owners to change the oil. Most folks don't change the oil at all - ever. The thinking with the Easy Change is that getting 75% fresh oil is better than getting 0% fresh oil. There are folks who either don't know how to do a conventional oil change or are just too lazy. This was an attempt to get those folks to do some maintenance. I put this in the same category as the B&S "Check and Add" system where they tell you the oil NEVER needs changed.

Wow,that easy oil change was/is a really crummy idea from Deere in my opinion,and i am a big John Deere fan

Any time oil hits the top of the frame as it does during filter changes, it’s best to inspect and wipe off any overflow that makes it through frame openings and down onto the PTO and belts.

I converted with the help of your vid. Thanks. I'm now wondering if a different dipstick is necessary. Before conversion, a good quantity of oil stays in the filter system, which the dipstick can't measure. After conversion, that oil is now free to settle to lowest point in engine.

No, same dipstick.

Don: How about using your vacuum pump for oil to suck out the excess oil (though the dipstick tube) before you pull the plug on the block? Might be a less messy job.😉
