Awesome thank you!!!

Hell yeah buddy great job. Look into the aluminum angle for the framing I was telling you about. I’m gonna do the same 🤙🏽🎣

Genius. I'm facing this right now.

Love ya man!

Thanks alot i just did mine today

Здесь лучше рулевые наконечники от ATV работать будут

I zip tied mine it works really well 😅😂

Thanks bro everything worked. I'm grateful 🙏🏾

Smart man...smart fix. Just finished installing it however, wondering how long before the PCV part wears and pops off the ball from constant turning. Think this is a temp repair and the drag line part should be replaced. But for now, it works.

Nice little boat. I got a 14 foot V hull and I love it.

Man i so much appt your easy ,smart,fixes.helped me out big time.thanks

Great video!

I have an Ariens 42" 17'5hp manual trans mower essentially identical to yours. Turns out I had about 50' of PVC I was using for an irrigation system. Snipped off 3", bought 2 hose clamps to fit, and put her together. DEAD EASY!!! THANK YOU!

OMG Thank you that works great my broke today i did as your video said got the yard all mowed Thank you

Worked perfectly on my Husqvarna -- thanks so much.

So............ 8 years later......... Update? Nick still ramblin' 'round in the ol Starcraft? rebuild? mods? sold? :) Me n my son redoin' one now , stumbled on this vid, lol :) Happy Holidays 2021

This worked for my Ariens. Thank you for saving me $60

I'll add my thanks to the list. In my case, it was especially helpful because my ball joint failed a long way from my garage - across the road and probably a quarter mile into the woods where I mow some walking trails through the woods and overgrown fields. It was nice only needing to take a ratchet, a pvc sleeve, and a hose-clamp out there to make the fix and drive it back home. Especially nice with the heat wave we've been having. Let me know your favorite charity and I'll make a donation in your name!

Thanks for sharing your fix, I just completed the fix today. Welding wasn't an option for me.

Remove ball joint drill hole and use bolt washers and nut.

Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it. I'm going to be starting a restoration/modification of my late Dads 16' 1976 Mirro-Craft Deep Fisherman soon. I just looked her over today and she's looking good except for the bench seats, which are a mess. We did a lot of salt water fishing in it, and I had modified it like Tim Coleman( the late New England Fisherman editor) recommended in his book, To Catch A Bass. Now she's going to be a freshwater fly-fishing platform. Looking forward to making casting decks and you gave me some good ideas. I had a few laughs about Nicks hard work and Dads comments. Trailer work is exactly as described! Nice to see you represent Massachusetts so well. Us sportsmen here work for everything we get!

Clamps keep getting hit and thrown off

Genius, and I did have a beer.

Why didn't you use some bubble gum and a rubberband, Chinese fixey.

PepperJack - this video saved my daughter's graduation party this past weekend. Please let us know where the beer fund donations are to be sent.

Excellent idea & video!!!

This was awesome, really appreciate it. Every other video I saw wanted me to weld something

On 4/22/21 I used this video to fix my father in law’s mower. Thank you.

Why not just replace the tie rod? That’s a waste of time and potentially dangerous

Wow thatll last 5 minutes... lol. Fix it right, or fix it twice. Period.

Great vid but I highly recommend adding some type of foam to the deck for reserve buoyancy

I am just finishing my 1955 Larson 14' boat I bought for 300.00 w/ trailer . Nice job on your boat

Wish I could see how to fix it better. I need to fix mine asap

This is actually Jeff. This was a nice, easy fix. I did it slightly different. First I sliced the 3" pvc once, then drilled a measured hole on the sliced side only, wedged it in and tapped through using a hammer. The hole fit around the bottom of the ball, then tightened it with a hose clamp. Drove the mower around and it's holding. Thanks for your helping fix this problem,

My mower jus went to hell,😭😭😵, I'll say this was very impressive 👌👍 I will do this afterwhile, I definitely could use a refreshment after this riggn, after all would could do with $50.00 you saved, if not more, thanks for sharing this 👍

This is my favorite video on youtube

Enjoy time with him, he will miss it one day, wish I could go fishing with my dad, but he’s gone on.

looks great! what wood did you use for the tops of your benches? I am missing all the metal and styrofoam in mine :(

Thanks for posting, works great!

Great idea! Thanks! Just replaced the link on my Craftsman - the part was only $28 but what a pain to get it off!! I'll try this next time

Duuuude. Thanks. Tightened up the steering quite a bit.

How stable is the boat standing up I am thinking about buying one or should I go with a 14' Jon boat?

I love it!! Worked great and if I ever meet you I will buy you a beer. Cheers

thanks for the help!

Worked like a charm on my John Deere. Thanks for the tip. Add another use for pvc to the list.

Very good I have a Craftsman Model#: 917.276813 Serial#: 061406D019869 and this will work perfectly. Will save me more that $80 I don't think this part will actually work for me: www.searspartsdirect.com/product/660034llnu-0071-917/id-175121 as it just looks different. Much appreciated!

17:10 the man with the funny commentary

Looks like Nick is going to turn out OK. Good job Dad and Mom.

This is a fantastic quick fix especially when the mower is far from the garage like my ranch it took 10 minutes to fix drove it back and now I order the replacement part and can use the mower for the time being.

Looks like my driveway. Don't get on your knees or walk barefoot on it. Lol. Good video
