Awesome! Guys that can figure stuff out and then improve on it. Better than a college degree (seriously). I tried to teach him, but my son is getting a degree in some crap or another and is as sharp as a bag of wet hair when it comes to man-stuff like this. Much respect to you and your pops.

Nice

You sound just like me. I am an a experienced DIYer who has rebuilt motors, renovated and installed a new kitchen and bathroom before but never used leveler. I researched everything to death but assumed this was a no brainer after watching one or two videos. I just ran into the same problem with pouring floor leveler to level a section of plywood for a shower pan. My dried higher in the center and now my pan sits worse than before. So disheartened and humbled.

If you had had a skinnier 1 1/16" socket, do you think you still would have had to destroy the plastic cap in order to get the anode rod out?

Hello Chris. Thanks for sharing this genius idea. I am going to build one this afternoon. Take care, Ben

So the place I work at has a Z781i and we got the stuff to change the trans filters. Talked to 2 different dealers and they both said to just drain it, change the filter and fill it up. Neither told me anything about the breather at the top! Hopefully I didnt damage the pumps because I called them both again and I told them the oil wasn't getting into the pumps. They said," just crank it up and work the oil in by the control sticks." Then came to CZcams and found your video. I really appreciate your time and knowledge shared. A short little plug for where I work is Deer Lake Cabins in Mt. Vernon, Tx. Gice us a call for your next family vacation! We've got side by side rentals with 20 miles of trails, horse back rides( guided) and our Lake side Cabins have their own personal docks for fishing in our stocked Lake! Again thank you so much foe this video!!

Thanks a lot for taking time to research and solve the pain in the neck problem of Sulfer smell .

Hi may I ask, what was the variation of your failed screed? I have just laid a self levelling compound over 21 sq meters (approx 4x5m) and have a tolerance of about 5mm. Really upset. I was hoping for 1mm.

We just had a plumber out to perform this task and he was able to do the switch without fully removing lid and without unhooking electrical. Great video thanks a lot.

Question! I have a chair that has the vinyl wrapping and plastic rivets. Can I use the poly webbing and screws to replace the broken vinyl straps and rivets? The typical lawn chair webbing screws are too small (8). A diameter of 14 is too big. Anyone know what size screws will fit, or will I just have to do trial and error? Otherwise, I may end up doing a macrame and weaving with paracord. Thanks!

Great video. You explained it so well. Thank you. I feel empowered to be able to make the repair.

Very detailed thanks

Thank you for the video. I have been running the core protect rod in my Bradford white heat pump tank for several years. So far it has been great. I do recommend that if you have any Pex piping that you run grounds to all branches. I’ve had issues with calcium buildup at my transition location. I didn’t have this before the CoreProtect so I’m assuming that it is related. It is an easy fix especially since I no longer have the smell. At this point I have been very satisfied with the CoreProtect and I have not had any tank issues so I believe that it is working as advertised. As a side note, a few months ago I did have a blinking light on my power supply and the customer service quickly sent me a replacement power supply. I was very pleased with their response.

Water infiltrated that hydro oil. Good call to change it.

Thanks for the video. So many "experts" have videos on this that makes it look easy but so little can be found on what happens when things go wrong. Also as I just learned earlier, Mapei makes a self level plus that takes 24+ hours just to walk on BUT it's a far better product for a single person, DIY or novice as there's substantially more time to work the product. Mine started to set up after only 7 minutes to where the rake marks never leveled out. Thankfully I had the smart idea to start using a floor scraper after it sat for an hour and hadn't fully cured so it was easy to remove 2/3s of it before I was screwed.

Thank you.

Work a flathead screwdriver under the lip of the plastic cap. Lift up as you go. I eventually got a small claw bar under the cap and was able to pry it out in one piece

Did you use the recommended primer and make sure the self-leveling was spread evenly? My guess is no primer and the product/mix was not correct. At least you had good adhesion to the slab. You could have poured a second layer that was more flowable.

Any suggestions for how to fasten polypropylene webbing to a metal frame. I cannot drill into it. And I can't seem to push a screw through it. It is thicker than the nylon webbing. Your video was very helpful, I just don't have the same material.

When the time is right, gonna get my wife to watch this...I've DIY'd the crap out of our home, successfully, but the 1st floor of her condo that we're renting....ouch. Every weekend that passes that we can't rent it is making the DIY method less and less finacnially sound.

Could you not pour another layer of compound over the top?

Perfect solution! Our same exact set. Had tried securing stretched webbing with cable ties per another video and also tried thin plywood cut to fit. Neither worked well.

This video on offers valuable insight into troubleshooting common issues encountered during DIY projects. It's a great example of how perseverance and problem-solving can turn a setback into a successful outcome.

I do this too. Do you find that getting the lawn clippings in the pond causes unsightly growth in the water?

Every time I change the oil I remove that black Kubota logo plate on the back. Makes it super easy to access that area. Great video.

I couldn't stop thinking about how cute Chris was to pay attention.

Nice video, good job! who ever does the engineering on these Kubota's must be a complete MORON! Has the oil run out from the filter when changing it right onto a sensor.

Wow, I cannot wait for nothing but the facts. So much talking. I am happy to hear that most viewers have the time just watch and watch you talk about well, thank you for your input and would really appreciate your wisdom in a much shorter format.

Why in the world Rheem would place a collar spacer on the hex nut of the anode rod ? It just gives the consumer headache on otherwise an easy job to replace the anode rod.

Great video, beautiful. Thanks for leaving the tips for protection as well.

This was very helpful. I had to take off the crossmember to take off the drain plug. Two huge areas where Kubota dropped the engineering ball was not having the hole in the cross member properly positioned to allow a socket to directly access the drain plugs and that stupid upside down bolt on the belt guard that prevents easy access to the filter. Wouldn’t have cost Kubota a dime to rectify those two items to make it soooo much easier to service the hydros. Oh ….oh …. Move the seat support 1/2” forward to give straight access to those overly tight breather plugs. Shame on Parker for over-torquing those, but having straight access would help a lot. Glad I won’t be needing to do this for another 500 hours.

Good job 👍

Longwinded....

Thanks much for this vid!!! Who'd've thought that channel locks would be such a great aid to this process...

Interesting 🤔. Looks a bit dangerous. I don’t think I’ll do that way. I’m thinking attach two cheap mowers side by side and mow parallel to the water’s edge. More stable, less likely to cut off a foot or toes.

Great job! Thank you.

Excellent video. Thank you

I’ll NEVER install any tile, porcelain, ceramic, or stone crap again. The self leveling compound was a disaster for me too. It’s a shit job

I just realized you started out saying you were using 2 1/4" webbing, but once you get to the part doing the math to lay out the straps, you say you have 2.5" inches....

Good idea

I keep thinking about putting this type of cover on, but one time we had a pump failure in the middle of winter when all of the snow melted at once coupled with one of the drainage pipes being backed up / frozen and water was rising rapidly in that corner of the basement. I was able to just rip the dingy silicone/foam cover off quickly and get to the pump so I could make a repair. If I would have had to fiddle with something like this, way more water would have gotten into the basement. Cool video though.

Running into the exact same thing. So I'm going to get some screws. Thanks!

Did you check with Rheem to see if it would void your warranty?

Great video, Thanks

I will be installing a powered anode rod in my 50 ga Rheem hybrid water heater. I called Rheem technical support & he said twice that it will not void warranty. Would have had to do it anyway because of orders. Installed 9 months ago.

I wouldn’t say I mow at night, but in the fall sunset is at like 5:30PM, and it gets dark really early, so it’s nice to have the lights during that season so I can get the mowing done after work.

why would you mow at night??? pure lunacy

Mine does not reach 150 maybe 100 then blows air out
