Flush or Run Your Jet Ski – Water Hose Connection

#jetski, #seadoo, #waverunner, #winterize
This video shows you how you can run and flush your jet ski on land with a water hose hookup. Just take a garden hose and connect it like I do in the video and run the jet ski for about 5 minutes to clean out the cooling system.

This works on all kinds of brands like Kawasaki jet ski, Polaris seadoo, Yamaha waverunner, and Honda Aquatrax. The water hose connection may be in a different location on different models.

Go Kart Won’t Start – Clean the Carburetor

#gokarttrouble, #gy6, #gy6carb, #gy6issues
I give a basic overview about cleaning the carb on our buggy go kart. The carburetor is always a trouble area if the engine is not cranked or started at least once a month. This go cart sat for a year or so without ever being started so the fuel in it evaporated and gummed up the jets.

Easy Way to Remove a Stuck Bearing Race

#stuckbearing, #easyway, #bearinghacks
I show an easy way to remove a stuck bearing race from a shaft if you are stuck without a bearing puller or other type tools.

The bearing on my 14′ batwing shredder was worn out and needed to be replaced. I ordered the correct tapered bearing but needed to remove the old race before installing the new bearing.

This simple hack works for a lot of things that are stuck around a shaft. This little hack will get you out of a jam!

John Deere 450-C Hydraulic Fluid Change

#jd450c, #jd450-c, #jd450, #johndeere, #jddozer
This is a video showing the work that I did to change the hydraulic fluid on the John Deere 450C track loader. The hydraulic filter fell apart in the tank and it needed to be pulled out and cleaned.

I filled the tractor with 303 universal tractor fluid and its back up and working fine.

John Deere 450C Oil Change

I am changing the oil on my John Deere 450 C Bulldozer. This process will be the same for any of the 450-C family of crawlers. We also have a JD 450c Track Loader and the process is the same.

#jd450c, #johndeere450, #450c, #jd450, #johndeere, #jd, #450, #diy, #restore, #johndeere450c, #willitwork, #dozerwork, #bulldozer, #oldiron, #construction, #dozer

These JD 450s are great older crawler/loader/dozers and are pretty easy to work on. Parts are still available and parts tractors are rather cheap to find.

I have the service manual for this dozer and will be doing all the work on it myself. I will try to get videos of everything I do on it so check back for more.
