John Deere LA145 Complete Service! | Part 6 of 6 | New Sump Gasket And Reinstall The Engine

Wow! That sure was a lot of work. How much does that twin briggs engine weigh do you think? I was cringing as i watched you lift it. Take care Tom!

Tylenol is only good for fever and minor pain. Take ibuprofen/Motrin or even Aleve for muscle and bone aches.

I hope your test come back good.

You might call this A complete Rebuild. Great Job sir Tom D mate

It's nice seeing someone that still cares en̈ough to do it Right. You always go the extra mile trying to fix the equipment the best it can be fixed. A lot of people would over look it and cut corners Thanks for doing a thorough job on every piece that comes your way

Glad you were able to tackle this one. Too bad about the sump gasket. Having to take the engine out just to replace it. I had to replace a few sump gaskets on smaller single cylinder Briggs engines. Not fun sometimes.

Fantastic job as always Tom. I thoroughly enjoyed your video series , probably more than you did because of all the repairs you did. I hope you and your mom have a fantastic weekend. Catch you on your next adventure. Take care my friend.

👍👍👍

Tom, you took that engine off the bench and placed it in the mower like a champ, how much you figure a 22hp engine weighs? My back hurts watching you.

Tom take care of your bad back dam it, why hurt all night???? I’m telling your mom on You boy 😊

It’s shocking how fast the leaking gasket can drain a engine when it’s running and hot, it’s the reason so many engines are destroyed every year, keep it clean and look for leaks folks

Awesome job Tom, you worked your bootay off on it.
Hope you get the best results on the tests brother.

That spray reminded me of when I had to get up on my roof the seal the leaking rubber boots around my vent pipes. I got some roofing cement on my jeans. That cement is like anti-seize lubricant. Good luck not getting it on something it isn't supposed to be on.
To my amazement, that chlorinated solvent got it nearly 100% clean. It makes sense, since that is the same chemical they use to dry clean clothes - tetrachloroethylene.
I suspect those were special high strength bolts, since they needed to be so tight. They are actually stretched a little in there now, to make sure that gasket stays crushed, so it can't work out again, like the last one did.
That was one big hard job, Tom. It should last for years.
