NOW I know how to drain, fill, and oil filter change for my tractor. Thanks a bunch Taryl and Elk Skins. Learn something new every day.

Thank you! I’ve been searching for almost a year on how to change the fluid on this tractor with no luck

Elksins and Taryl= immediate thumbs up👍

Every Sunday is a Taryl fun-day. I thought this was a great educational and entertaining video with the Laurel and Hardy of small engine repair. Last weeks rework of the old Toro power-push mower was very good as well. I can't wait for the next fuel stabilizer test.

When E-SKINS is involved, I know everyone was expecting a sand blaster to get it clean. Lol

I think this is the cleanest I've ever seen Elk Skins. Must have caught him on laundry day.

This is hands down the best explaining on how to do this project thank you!! Craftsman aint gettin my money for these new plastic mowers, old ones are where its at

Great job on changing the oil on the transmission👍

I have to admit when Taryl says Shut Up I crack up. On the last video when he told the Camera Man SHUT IT OFF ! He loves to rip on Elkskins

Excellent job ! More HST transmissions would last many years longer if serviced like this ! Have a Blessed Day

I can appreciate the proper way you show of refilling through the vent tube. But if this was me in my garage, I would put a little oil in the filter, spin it on, and then pump the rest in through the overflow hole.

Thanks Taryl and Elkskins! I have same tractor, little newer bought it in 1998 and never changed it. I found filter right away on Amazon and will go to advance and get some oil. My vent hose sticks out the back a little…going to try putting an extension hose on it for fill and may not have to take off fender, thanks!

I read that in the manual too that the oil was supposed to last the life of the tractor. I couldn't find a number on my filter etheir so that was a big help. Thanks you guys!

Although I will never change oil on a tractor, your video was very entertaining and shows how versatile and knowledgeable you are. Small engine technicians like you are so important in fixing tools rather throwing them away..

Thanks a bunch for this one! I just got one of these, and read the downloaded manual about "no maintenance ". Glad I found it.

Back to the good ole repair videos. I was getting tired of turd polishing

When an American says a Walmart is too far away, you KNOW they be living in the Boonies . . .

I love this channel! Another fun video to watch! Good job on the repair guys!!

Terrell thank you for that information on that craftman i'm sure we'll need it

Nice video taryl I have a lot of respect for the craftsman tractors 2010 and older I’ve never had one that needed major work they were always very good to me I’ve learned to change belts very quickly and do just about every repair at my shop we get a lot of craftsman and they are very easy to work on from what I’ve found

I like that tractor. I also like learning from Taryl and Elk Skins!

Very helpful video I was looking for how to change it but couldn’t find it thanks you guys

Can't wait to watch it when I get home!!!

I liked hearing the wise cracks from Elk Skins

Never knew elkskins was on KZfaq. Love watching and learning. I’d rather watch the videos vs what’s on tv. I refuse to pay for cable tv and the junk toxic news. I’m in MN so I’ll be a while yet. I’m going to change the fluid on my JD Lt180 K46 transmission, filter, and clean magnets.

Great video guys! I enjoyed it. learned a lot. Cant wait for the fuel additive video!

I have one of those older Craftsman mowers with a 6 speed high and low with reverse. My favorite tractors!!

Anti-seeze on the lug bolt threads as well, helps out a bunch also.

I am just imagining Elk Skins driving home on that tractor. He doesn't even need indicators, when he is approaching a junction he can shout "TURNING LEFT, TURNING LEFT, TURNING LEFT"

Great information thank you for sharing

Elk skins really grew on me. I love his choice of mowers ive been looking for one of those ever since I saw this video. We need more human shop rag!

Hey taryl love the new shirt your wearing and a very good video my friend God bless you your crew and all who believes and there's your Dinner

Thanks boys, just ordered the stuff to do mine

Thank you. Definitely walked me through how to do this.

Elck Skins knows his 💩! He needs to be in more of your videos!

Ooh wow a old crapsman. I love your videos and skits.

This is the first time I have ever seen a 7/16 bolt ever used. I always wondered who the heck designs with them?. Wheel bolts are common on German cars. Make a wheel hanger from 7/16-14 threaded rod or a long bolt. Much easier. Good and informative video. Thanks

WoW, I never knew you could so easily change out the tranny oil in that. Well, you do have to either drop the tranny or remove so much above it. But still rather easy process. However, With the manual saying good for life and your service recommendation saying every 200 hours, that is almost criminal of them. I have a Poulan Pro PRGT22H50D that has the 331-3000 hyrdro gear transaxle. For being a 2001 and getting it third hand used from my brother in which it came with a house he bought and sold years ago it still runs like a charm. However with watching yours and a couple other streamer with maintenance and rebuild vids, I think I have a bit to do to keep it running tip top. Thank you for your wonderful and entertaining how to vid.

Running smooth!

Thanks Skins and TD.

Good one guys, enjoyed. Thanks for the look.

You guys are fantastic👍

great job

Thank you for the video.

I like using that Lucas oil treatment to, I heat it up first sometimes.

It’s nice when ya can fix stuff that manufactures hide. That’s planned obsolescence for ya. Well done on the video!

Elkskins!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video

Lucas products are very good. I only use the oil stabilizer (about half the recommended dose), the zero or low viscosity stabilizer (at the recommended full 12oz dose), im sure the trans stabilizers are good products. I dont use any stop leak products, because chemicals dont fix parts that have failed or engines. In automotive transmissions i always add a tube of 4oz dr tranny instant shudder fix when i change filters. (Great for fords that get a bucky or jerky feeling at torque lock up- 40-45 mph) The lucas stabilizers emulsify the oil with long hydrocarbon chains (makes the oil very slippery and prolongs the thermal breakdown process). The dr tranny is an anti sheer additive that prevents the trans fluid from forming tiny air bubbles in the torque converter. What i do for automotive transmissions that are the “non serviceable bs” (changing the filter in the pan) and dont have a dip stick is after I’ve collected everything in the pan i use rinsed out windshield washer jugs and measure exactly what i took out. I keep 1 dirty jug for the used fluid and one clean for the new fill fluid. Use a sharpy to mark the last fill level. So if i took out 3.5 jugs, i pour in 3.5 jugs. Since there isn’t a stick or fill plug level. I have never had a trans failure doing this for idk 25+ yrs. The only time thats not going to help is if theres a trans leak. Then you have to get more intuitive and figure out the solution. Usually though any of those leaks are more like wet stains and not active leaks. If it was an active leak, and since there isn’t a “normal” way to fill them the trans probably went low and cooked any way. Lol Great job fellas! That trans will run forever now. 👍🏼😎

Missing some Junior and Slippers! Nice to have Elkskins dabbling in repairs with Taryl.

Thanks guys!

great job guys...if it was my tractor, i would put some type of filler tube in it so I wouldn't have to take it all apart every time i changed the trans oil......and use full synthetic to make more time between changes

That's, what I call mechanics...Thanks for sharing

Thanks boys for the info

Yep my craftsman lt3200 is doing this (manufactured by husk) mine is loud as crap lol and it makes the clutch petal even vibrate

I like the dozer blade you got.

I just here couple months ago change the oil in a 1970 Charger 12 automatic transmission and doing the research on what I can replace the oil or, I could find out I can use 10 W 30 and it took 5 quarts and I'm surprised that it took much because it does not look like it holds that much

Good job

I've used Lucas Engine oil stop leak additive on my daughter's beater 99 Ford Escort for years. It really works, until it sub-zero and it will harden like wax.

Fire it up !

Ive discovered both my kohler command 25 horse from my gt-5000 and my Kawasaki fr-730 on my husqvavarna ts-348xd can use the same oil filter as my old s series saturn 1.9 engines used which is nice cause i can get them at any auto parts store and dont have to go to a mower dealer . and dont have to pay the money they want .

Elk Skins Rocks!

Thanks dudes

Awesome

Love you guys.🇬🇧🔧👍

You need a set of Carlysle AT101's for that tractor and you wouldnt need chains. They are bar lug tires with rounded lugs and wont tear up the grass either. I have a tractor like that I use for snowblowing and mowing a small field. It pulls a 64" 20 hp haben offset deck and gives me 110" cutting path. Works great. The last of the good garden tractors..

Love the videos no matter the content and that is because you guys are comedians. Laughter is very important.

Thanks for this video. I just changed my fluid and purged, but now the tractor won't move at all. I have followed the purging steps, but still nothing. Any tips or ideas? I have tried tilting it and purging, turning off push-mode (that bypass valve), etc.

Good Vid. Who would have thought a Ford Wrench would be required on a Craftsman drain plug.

I did a video about this a few years ago when I had my gt5000

Lookin good taryl

Great video. I would like to meet you guys sometime.

Might could add a brass y-connector to the fill tube. That way you can unfold a long tube from the side for future fills. No need to remove seat again.

My cub cadet LT 150 transmission is starting to slip, about 240 hrs on it. Gonna try oil change

I'll just purge the air after i fill the hydro by keeping both wheels on & jack stands ,then start the tractor and move the hydro lever forward for about 10-15 minutes then the same for reverse.

I have to replace the idler pulley bracket on my Craftsman once the weather warms up. Should be fun. (Sarcasm mode on/off).

Do you guys have a video of this tractor in how to adjust the motion control lever? Was cutting my grass tractor was fine and suddenly no reverse or forward.

I would like to see how you have that lever coming from the front to the back to lift stuff up the hitch from the back lift thank you

To achieve a complete oil change, I believe if you rotate the wheels while it is up on jack stands you can get the fluid out of the pump and motor too.

Not sure if message went thru think I lost it ,well I have 1996 craftsman garden tractor 22.5 50 in.deck this morning shifted fine then in afternoon went to reverse then no forward and no reverse any idea checked a few areas already !

I have a 2012 or 2013 Cub Cadet LTX1045 with a Hydro Gear Trans when it is cold it goes forward and backwards just fine but the longer it runs the less it goes forward and backwards it does any help or advice you can give ?

Taryl,I’m getting ready to attemp to install new rings on kohler ch25.Can I make this 25 into a 750? If so, what must I do.thanks sorry if it’s repetitive,not sure if it’s going through

"iIll be the one throwing the insults around" - typical Mr. Dactyl expert comedic timing while ad libbing. Mr. Dactyl is a very very funny man.

Good video thanks Boys 👍🤝😎😁✋

Used that Lucas transfixer in an old Chevy pickup with a slippery trans, stopped slipping and drove it another 100,000

Great video, could we use a outboard motor lower unit gear oil pump that you put on the bottle to attach to the drain hole and pump it up to the level hole instead of removing all those components. Like on the Hydrogear pumps on zero turns that you can use?

Hello Taryl. Your vudeos have really helped me. I did the rebuild kit on my cub cadet xt1 because the springs in the pump were busted. You mentioned that there was a part if you install it different from what it was the movement would be reveresed. well it happened because I did not remember which way it was. I had to redo it and now something went wrong an scratch that part. I can not find that part on Tuff Torq and i dont know what its called. Please help.

what kind of oil are you using? What's the common oil for hydrostatic mower rearends?

What website did he find the information on the tractor?

Taryl and Elk Skins together again!

Do you have to remove the rear end for John deere riding mower?

I recently bought a mower like this (1998) and the belt squeals when accelerating and comes to a stop sometimes could this be the belt/pully or this fluid also?

I would puta hole in the fender under the seat to run the transmission tube through. So would not have to take it all apart to do a fluid change. Even if you had to extend it.

Two Legends for the price of one.

can you give me some info on a cruise matic trans axle served up in white outdoors I cant seem to find anything

im working on my older garden tractor LT 22hp.twin /50 deck, took off right rear tire,and removed that pulley,behind right rear tire now i can not get it back on (pulley)easy way of doing this?

Is it hard to replace the pull cord that starts it

My craftsman has a plastic case on it. have you worked on one of those ?

Good info even though i dont own a hydro.

Hey can you show how you put a diy lift arm,been trying to find out how to put a 3 point hitch on mine,want to be able to switch a mini disc and change it to a grader. Can you send me something on that? Mine is just like your's.
