What did you do about the crank shaft size and the pulley's

I’m a retired diesel mechanic and I just enjoy fixing mowers and small engines, it’s like a hobby and I have all the tools paid for many years ago and have given most to family members 😊

I put one on my push mower. It creates so much turbulence theres a cloud of grass clippings and dirt surrounding my mower as i push it through the lawn. One small mowing and the mower was covered in clippings dirt.

Bro. Thank you so much for this video.Because I would never have completed this without you.Appreciate this video and love your channel

Love the adjustable spark tester but I pucked twice trying to watch the whole video🤮🤮🤢🤢🤢

will a 19 hp kohler courage have enough juice to keep an electric pto charged, or do I have to put a bigger thingy under the flywheel, or just scrap that plan?

Honda doesn't give a damn about your mower problem! Mine is only 4 years old and is junk. I'd push it into the Ohio River but would be arrested for polluting!

Like your closing statement, do all for the glory of God, he is our salvation , amen brother .

Kholer courage still running strong..2 coils 1 starter 1 carb i hadnt put on yet...Never had to add oil between changes..Set the valves few years ago..Fuel pump hose to valve cover.. Cub cadet zt 50..Like that new motor

You are a legend. This would have taken me forever without your video. Plus your calm attitude kept me sane. Thanks man.

Take a dowel the size of funnel drain and shove it in slowly ,no mess

I just checked my Honda HRX 217 from 2011, there is absolutely no sign of wear on the spring or on the spring connection points on the brackets. Informative video though, thanks!

You need to stop making videos. No one is interested in hearing you talk. Nobody cares about you. If you're going to make a video on a certain topic, Stay on topic.

You now have a new sub. Thanks for the info. God Bless from West by God.

If it is too full, use a vacuum pump to stop it from overfilling.

Key way

Hands on is best

Good advice,nice shop👊

I like your style.No BS! So does this have anything to do with my HRX217VKA that makes a metalic rubbing noise when i shut the engine off and the hydro not engaged? There's no issues with it otherwise. It pulls along good when I engage the tranny.

Jesus christ. Its like changing a d series drive belt. Step one disassemble the entire mower

Thank you!!!!!

Cool video

If we are to replace this part before the problem happens do we need to take all those parts off the mower... or is it easily accessible to replace the spring

You really need a parts van 😊 just can’t have enough stuff

i like the kohler opposed twin a lot better,it even sounds better

Thanks for the help on the valve adjustment

I love Briggs flat heads, and the opposed twin is such a cool engine. I just picked up a '93 GT6000 with one.

I charge $175 for On-site tune ups, on riding mowers. I won't get off my coach for less than that for a riding mower.

How do you like it 3 years later??

I use VP gas 50:1 .... i think 94 octane...

💪🏽💪🏽

I’ve had my hrx217 since 2012. It finally failed last Saturday. I thought the spring just came off. I tried to put the spring back on and that bracket shot out. I discovered just like you. I didn’t or the spring you mentioned but I think I will. Thanks for the video.

How do I get the rocker off to remove the valve to relap the valve?

Take the camera from that guy. lol

What type of symptoms do this have if the spring is not connected? My mower I can’t pull backwards. It goes forward fine. The wheel’s just won’t spin backwards when it’s in neutral

Ok,,,where does the repair come on camera? Stoty time, jaw'n.

The video doesn't show exactly how to wire up the harness from Kohler to Briggs. It skips from one thing to another without explaining what he's doing.

Gators on a 21 horse 60” mower work wonders. I personally use them on my work mower (has a mulch kit) with our fescue lawns and they seem to cut better than the same mower with the factory mulch blades (blade with the hump in the middle). Idk if it’s bc of the mass of the blade or because of the “high lift” picking up the grass better but I love them. Planning on also trying them with leaf cleanups this year to see what they’re like.

use a radiator antifreeze bulb funnel....with stopper

hahaha yes, you have to loosen the transmission so it "tilts" then you can install the spring.

Ok. I got the spring you suggested and installed it on my new transmission. While it did work on the flats, on hills it bogged down. I replaced the spring with the heavy spring that honda calls for and the mower propeller much better. I think the lighter spring allows the belt to slip under a heavier load. My mower is a hrx217kvka with smart drive.

Thank you. This was helpful.

Really appreciate this video! Thanks a lot

Does the hrx217 hya hydrostatic have the same spring issue

Why install a brand new motor b4 pressure washing massive amount of old caked on oil from deck and frame?

Good video. Mine gets stuck in propel and slamming it is no longer unsticking it. I am just going to take the belt off and use as a push. Wheel and transmission assembly is a jigsaw just like you said. First years were good but now I am cleaning the carb every 3 months

enjoy your videos but haven't seen any lately hope everything is well

My Honda hrx 217 mower blade stays engaged. Any suggestions???

Im considering small engine repair as a hobby. Looking into Penn Foster. My interest started when a friend gave me a push mower. It was seized up everywhere mechanically. After cleaning it up and watching a few videos I had it running in 3 pulls. Im hooked now.

Hi Carl. Today my HRX217 self propelled keeps wanting to stay engaged even when I take my hand off drive, Not all the time but alot. I got under it and hit the cable near transmission with WD40 but cant see it from the top going to the drive switch. Any ideas?
