John Deere 165 engine replacement. Complete Kawaski FB460v DIY with 38 cutting deck removal

Watch as I take this much-loved heirloom 1987 John Deere hydro 165 lawn tractor's and do a complete 38'' cutting deck removal then a complete engine removal of the Kawaski FB460v which had blown badly.
On this one I am replacing it with the exact replacement engine so no adapting, rigging or farm fixes will be needed.
While we are at it let's look at the 38 cutting deck and see if we can get rid of the double spring/bungee cord combination and see what it will take to return it to oem condition.
Let's return this classic 12.5 hp machine to running condition.



pressure washer- (just enough power but not enough to damage things)
