Thanks very much for your kind response. This machine has 1600 hours, so lines were never removed. We'll use the wrench you've suggested. Thanks again! Jim

Hello! I have a TB016 Takeuchi excavator that I replaced a broken water separator on and I may need to bleed the injectors. I put a wrench on them and turned them left to loosen, but they feel tight. Obviously I don't want to break the lines, so can someone tell me if they come off with a...

Hi All, I'm doing some track maintenance on this excavator, and wondered if anyone knows the wrench size for the check valve nut? Tight quarters and a pain with a regular wrench. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you! Jim

Hi Randy, Thank you for your reply. This seems to be the same thing I found. As far as it being removable, the pin I have split in two and I was able to remove the half that was left in the cover. My only thought now is to take it to a friend of mine who owns a machine shop and ask them to...

Hi All, I have the briggs engine listed and removed the sump to replace the gasket when I discovered that the pin that holds the idler gear had snapped in two. I went to several parts websites and can't find this pin in any of the descriptions. Each end has a groove to insert an E ring...

Yup, what you're saying makes sense. I was able to adjust the gap using these nuts, but still no compression. I removed the head and ordered a new head gasket. I guess we'll see once I get that replaced. Thanks for the link to the adjuster. I don't believe the valve cover has ever been...

Hi Randy, Thanks for your reply. Attached is a picture. There are no set screws; only a threaded rod with nuts attached. Not sure what to make of this, I've never seen one without them. I looked at the parts images and there is no mention of these set screws. I'm assuming you adjust by...

Hi All, I have a Craftsman push mower with the engine mentioned above. I'm trying to adjust the valve lash, but when I look at various videos, they all show a set screw and nut to adjust, but the mower I have does not have the set screws. Anyone else find this with their engines? Thanks for...

Hi Randy, Perfect! This is exactly what I needed. Thanks everyone very much for their help and responses!

Hi Richard, Thanks very much for your reply. Here are two more pics that are further away from the springs location. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hi Folks! Thanks for all the recent help and kind feedback on removal of stuck connecting rod screw. Now the same engine has a choke return spring that connects from the choke shaft to? This engine was given to me and the spring was in a box with many other parts. I can see where one end...

Believe me, it was! I did use the ratchet and six point with no success. The other one came out easily. I thought about the upside down position, but I was turning the correct way. Thanks for your input!

Got it! Thanks everyone for their ideas. This is what I came up with. Using my dremel and a composite cutting wheel, I cut a slot into the head and then using a flat punch and hammer, pushed down on the edge of the cut and it came free almost immediately! Got plenty of spare bolts so back in...
