  • @445supermag
    @445supermag Před 5 lety +41

    I've obviously been watching too many machinist's channels (Abom79, etc), because when you got to the bent crankshaft, I was thinking "He's going to have to completely disassemble the motor, put the crankshaft on vee blocks and then check the run out with a dial indicator while using an arbor press to straighten it." Or you could use a sledgehammer. On the other hand, maybe I should have expected this from someone who uses a chainsaw to install a radio. Thanks for all the tips, especially the cable replacement.

      I thought the same thing when I saw the bent shaft.
      I never laughed so hard as Andrew brought out the chainsaw to install the radio. Pure genius. And then the "access panel" on top of the dashboard. I love his total lack of respect for the "proper way" to fix things. Another CZcams machinist's catch phrase comes to mind when you watch Andrew. "Giterdone". If you watch Abom79 you probably watch Keith Fenner.

      @chaytonruijsenaars3971 Před 5 lety +1

      just dont hit rocks or stumps with your mower. thats why the shaft is bent. it can be fixed with a sledge hammer but its sketchy. first of all metal fatigue and hair line cracks are a very real danger. seen so many things crack half way then just fail unexpectedly in some catastrophic rod throwing valve dropping mayhem. the mower could run good for 5 more years then one day throw the blade through the side of the deck and through your ankle so you have that on your mind. again it can happen, it might not. its a gamble also you can just crack the crank case while hitting it with a hammer and the sound of hammer beating motor is just cringy and painful like hitting a puppy and hearing it yelp only not quite as bad. just dont break it in the first place. its easy to avoid as long as you mow your lawn often enough to know whats laying in it

      I just leave my leaves where they land. It´s plant matter, it´ll just fertilize the lawn. I don´t consider a tree-stump in the woods or leaves on the ground ugly. I bring home the bigger stuff to make firewood, and leave the rest to decompose.

    I have over 20 years trained experience in outdoor power equipment repair and have my own lawn mower shop, here is some advice from a professional. 1. You never ever weld a blade to any mower, that is very dangerous!! Broken crankshaft bolts can be drilled and tapped and blade adapters can be replaced - they are an important safety feature in the event the user hit's something hard as in a large rock. 2. Straightening crankshafts - most repair shops will not straighten a crankshaft due to the risk that they can snap off and break, usually when a crankshaft get's bent the mower is deemed non-repairable, i have a machine that straightens them and i've had them snap off numerous times, now the hammer method does work if done properly, you need to protect the crankshaft and not hit it directly, usually an old socket or a piece of steel pipe the same diameter as the crankshaft will work, hitting the shaft directly will warp it and make it no longer perfectly round, resulting in vibration and an uneven cut. 3. Always replace a brake cable on a push mower, it is am important safety feature and never tie the cable thru the hole where the Z bend goes on the engine brake, the reason i recommend replacing brake cable's is the engine brake it's self is designed to stop the engine from spinning after grounding out the spark within 6 seconds, using the wrong cable or attempting to repair a cable can hinder that and cause the brake to not fully disengage anf it can also cause other issues. I'm not trying to be negative or criticize the video in anyway- just sharing knowledge and being educational.

    Put an ounce or so of Gumout Multi Fuel System Cleaner with PEA into a partial tank of fuel and you'd be surprised how quick it clears out the carb. I have a snowblower my dad bought in 1978 and for ten years or more I have had to keep the choke on, more and more, to make it keep running - but then it wouldn't make any power because it wasn't getting much air. I put some of that Gumout with PEA in the tank and two minutes later it flooded out - I had to open the choke wide because suddenly it was flowing fuel through it, and it runs like new. 42 year old carb has never been apart yet.

    The 357XP Andy owns is a very old saw from Husky. In all likelihood, it was without a doubt, the best FIREWOOD SAW They ever manufactured and sold.
    And man, did it sell. Year in year out. But, the end of an era came for the 357 in 2011. It got replaced with the 562XP.
    Originally i was told by our local Husqvarna dealer that is also the owner of the local Husky Dealer, that Husky was going to produce both saws, But that changed.
    The 357XP Became a legendary firewood saw. So rugged and so damn dependable!! As far as I’m concerned for straight up firewood cutting, this one that Andy owns, was the best firewood chainsaw ever manufactured. Bar none. Hands-down.
