Hi thanks for your video. I have a Husquavarna 924HVX. There is a small toolbox located on the top of the machine near the chute. The toolbox contains 6 shear pins and nuts and a wrench. I was also able to access everything from the mouth of the blower. Again thank you.
That’s great! I pulled the cover for vlogging purposes and for those with fat hands and fingers 🤣 Great job on the fix! Thanks for the view and comment! Hopefully you have this video a thumbs up so it helps others as well as subscribe to the channel! 🤙🏻🔧🦅🇺🇸
Great Job! Make sure to keep extra on hand! Hopefully you are still in fix it mode! Now is a great time change the oil and service the rest of the machine. I have videos on that as well 🦅🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸
How did you make out? Belts or impeller? Side note…over time belts naturally stretch so you can adjust idler pulley/cables to compensate for the stretch! Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
@@pattayperformance Looks like impeller bent or something else since it shakes like crazy and then stalls in heavy snow. Shear pins were missing so I must have hit a big rock or something. Plow destroyed the curb so that probably the issue. Might need to go in for repairs. However, subscribed and if you have any hints or advice- let me know.
@@richg4189 does it shake as is when it doesn’t hit snow? In my experience…shaking is a blown auger bearing…can you move the gear box assembly UP AND DOWN… Not running PLEASE… If you think the impeller is bent…replace it. It’s not a hard job! Can walk you through it if you are up to it

Thank you for sharing!! I have a different problem.... I have an older Husqvarna 10527STE snowblower in which I'm at a complete loss in regards to why it won't stay engaged while in drive. When under load of just 4" of snow, it won't stay engaged at all. I changed the drive friction rubber ring, drive / auger belts along with a new traction idler spring & bias spring to boot. In addition, I thoroughly lubricated metal parts including the steering assemblies. I thought for sure it was the rubber friction ring after seeing it was worn. The new rubber friction ring is making great contact against the drive wheel assembly therefore, I can't believe that's the issue. As for the belts & springs, they really didn't need changing but, I had the parts and did so anyway. The following video shows the power steering assembly disengaging / engaging which is happening on both sides simultaneously on its own without touching the steering triggers. Any thoughts for a remedy would sincerely appreciated Thanks again and Happy New Year!! th-cam.com/video/vOY5K5MXnNQ/w-d-xo.html
@@pattayperformance Just checked my settings in which Comments are checked on for that video. Not sure why they're not..... I do have the video as Unlisted. Thanks
Thank you, this video helped me. I just had to replace the 2 bolts but I didn’t take everything apart. I just tilted the whole think back and put new 1/4-20 bolts in.
Great. I took the cover off for your viewing pleasure! Can you imagine sticking a camera and me inside that auger housing 🤣 Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
if you think about it i own own of these nice machines and i have many extra shear pins for them due to the amount of driveways i do but the normal reason mine break is either debris in the pack snow or stone jam it up and in my experience i would rather replace a shear pin then the transmission on these machines. I agree they are light duty and my 30 year old ariens only sheared a few pins. Keep up the knowledgable videos I and other appreciate them
I was a bit shocked when you said to make sure the shear pins were tight. I was always toled that they should be slightly loose to allow them to break if the impeller hit an obstruction.
They are going to break reguardless. If you leave them loose they will deform the augers and form an egg shaped hole and if ignored even bigger to the point they snap. When I see excessive play in the augers from wrong sheer pins or improper installation, I have to pull the augers, weld them up and drill a new hole. I hope this makes it clear and I'm sorry I didn't mention it in the video!
Kinda funny, I knew a guy who went through similar trials. He is a huge Husqvarna chain saw fan. I think he's got at leas 2 saws with 4 different sized bars, or something like that. He bought a Husqvarna blower not realizing they farmed those out. It mostly worked fine but he lives in the woods so hitting tree branches is a common problem. Well, due to a design flaw the auger shear pins won't shear when something wedges between the auger and the bucket. He blew out two gearboxes before he sold it and bought an Ariens. Some additional things, tho. You'll notice those predrilled holes in the deflector, those are for an optional "duckbill" extension that makes the deflector longer. He liked that feature so much he had one custom made for his Ariens. Also, I have to add, the place I moved into was once owned by an old lady who liked her lawn ornaments. Well, my Ariens "found" a little tiny frog made out of *concrete* and my shear pins failed to shear also. It stopped the machine dead. I'm certain I did significant damage to my gearbox, however, it did not fail and a few years on it is still working. Honda/Yamaha are probably the only brands where I don't see the shear pins ever failing to function, at least on the ones I've seen.
These aren't terrible machines as always there is worse out there! I do love the bucket extensions, could care less for the function but COOL factor has me pegged silly! The Mrs. sucke dup a brick in her Ariens 1128 and its still holding up well to this day. We tell customers for snow removal to make sure their driveway is clear before snow hits. When snow is here to make sure they got their newspaper! What is it with old people and lawn ornaments LOL? Sometimes less is more ; ) Yammies are very rare by me. Hondas dont't blow sheer pins they snap shafts!
@@pattayperformance *OUCH!* I didn't hear about the shaft problem. Maybe that explains the new system Honda is trying. I saw a vid of a guy demonstrating an "electronic" protection system he was proud of on his Honda. He used wood to jamb up the auger and, at least what it looks like to me, is there appears to be a mechanical, probably spring loaded, dog clutch that breaks free when the auger is jammed, then a sensor detects that the protector has been activated at it kills the motor. Once you clear the jam, you use the start key to reset the motor and you're ready to go. Of course, for Honda's price tag, they can afford to create systems like that. ;) Ya, except for the tree branch problems, my friend was very happy with the Husqvarna's performance. He had the "duckbill" kit, and, IIRC, a factory "overdrive" kit installed.
Nice fix. I guessed right. Spinning shaft. My snow machines are OLD. My John Deere is the Year 1974 and the Craftsman is about 2001. I saved them both from the crusher. On the John Deere the impeller is still rusted to the shaft. BELIEVE me I tried everything.
If you aren’t doing a frame off RESTO...just leave it. If you are persistent, electrolysis is the best non evasive way out side of heating and beating / heat and quench methods.
what kind of adjustment can be made for the husq auger? besides belt replacement. i have a husq 27 (last years model) and its the worst of at least 5 different brands Ive owned.
@@pattayperformance ahhh... yes! eureka moment. the cable. i believe one of the six or eight cables is an auger cable, but it already looks max tight the issue is loss of power. wont throw even light snow. belt doesnt appear worn. There is a hole above the tensioner pulley, but I dont see how moving the pulley up would tighten anything
You absolutely can...Honda calls for 10w-30 and even some of the clones. I know people who have been using 15w-40 in their snow blower and mowers for years with no issues! 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
Our machines are 15-20 years old of commercial use and never skip a beat! Well worth it! Use whichever brand oil you prefer/afford. Just please check it before using and top off as needed. Once you reach 25 hours please change it. 🫡
Hello - I am having an issue as the snow is not going up into the chute and out. All my shear pins are i place. The Impella spins with Augers, but maybe the impella is disconnected inside???? Help???
@@jeffreyhaney2449 use this video and check to see if the impeller is spinning free from the shaft. WITH THE MACHINE NOT RUNNING…use the method I showed in the video
OEM sheer pins as called from Husqvarna…link to buy them is in the Description of the video. These bolts are the same ones for your augers. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
I have the same machine, just cleaned the carb and flushed the gas tank running great. Mine has been fine for the 4 years I've had it. Carb was dirty because I left the gas on all summer..my fault.
You make that mistake once! I wish more people had your attitude! When the machine doesn’t start they blame it…in reality it’s the owner who caused this🤣 Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel🔧🦅🇺🇸🤙🏻
@@pattayperformance lol as soon as I saw the gas was on I knew I was in for some wrench time. Luckily it wasn't real bad and didn't oxidize anything. Pump gas is garbage now. Even with stabile you only get a couple months before it's no good.
Don’t “think” but confirm everything spins under a load. Before you start replacing things you can start with a simple cable/belt tension adjustment or just replace the auger belt
Had the same issue happen to me just a couple minutes ago. I didn't hit anything that I saw but a tiny patch of grass/dirt and we had about 4" of heavy icy snow. About 15 minutes later stopped blowing snow. Auger spins but not impeller. Snowblower is not even 2 years old and maybe used it a total of 12 times.
Age and Use Means nothing...these are meant to break. The cost to repair/replace an impeller as well as other components is nothing compared to pins. Modify the impeller to help with the thick/slushy stuff! I have videos on that as well!
Low miles and need of a belt replacment. That does not not match. I hope the guy does not get dissapointed if he gets an Ariens and the pins break as they should hitting something else than snow.
I will be more than willing to help! Let me be clear on what you are saying. You have a Sears/Craftsman Single Stage Snow Blower that you put brand new rubber paddles on. The augers spin but it’s not throwing snow. It sounds like the augers aren’t spinning when you hit snow. It’s common practice on single stages when you replace the rubber paddles, you replace the scraper bar and belt too. Toro set the standard for that bc you buy it as a kit. Confirm my suspicions, if the auger stops spinning replace the belt or try and adjust tension on it via the cable. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
They consider it lifetime...I didn't check it bc it just wasn't necessary due to age and condition of the machine. Older units for sure get checked. Some of them you can't check so they just get a few pumps of fresh grease.
@@pattayperformance NEVER use pump grease in a gear box! How is that stuff suppose to move around and lube the gears in cold weather? Gear lube is what you use. Have could you possibly check the level of the lube if it's GREASE?
@ 🤣🤣🤣 Great point…low temp grease is fine. No need to check fluid level or over complicate things. Been running chassis grease in my gear boxes for about 5 years before I switched to Lucas red n tacky. ZERO ISSUES NONE…NOT ONE even under commercial use.
@ thanks for the well wishes. Do some research on older snowblowers and equipment. You will understand where I’m coming from as well as why I never run into any issues
After the snow & ice accumulation that we received in Ky this year, I may consider getting a snowblower or snowblower attachment for one of my garden tractors. I have never been very impressed with any of the Husqvarna products over the years. Great Video,Jason.
The JD you are BUILDING is going to be sweet! I showed the Mrs the other day...which was the WRONG thing to do😂 If I had a unit like that...blower for sure and plow to get to the bottom!
@@pattayperformance Thanks for the kind regards, Jason & Mrs. Pattay. Right now I am working with my seat spring brackets so that I can scoot the seat back - Evidently John Deere back in 1968 thought everyone was short. I found a brand new set of seat sliders on eBay which should work well with the OEM seat springs. My goal is to make for a somewhat OEM look while making the seat more user friendly. It’s really amazing how strong that the old Cubs and John Deere garden tractors were for such small engines as compared to today’s products. Jason, Was it you that wanted me to post maybe a video of my S-24 Yazoo High Wheel mower with the 20 inch bicycle tires? I need to get it out and run it for a while and give it a good spray clean. The mower needs to be repainted to bring it back up to snuff as far as the appearance factor. I guarantee that my mower with the Predator engine would give any of the DR Brush Mowers some real competition with it’s 1/4 thick blade.
Sorry to read such a simple task as watching a video is difficult for you. May the new year upgrade your attention span from an child to an adult 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
So technology has changed over time. Look up the company called Armor Skids. They turned a wheel machine into a viable machine to use on a gravel driveway. Traditional you needed a track drive (like a tank) bc it floats over. Due to armor skids you should be fine. We run Armor Skids on our machines and no issues with the 2 gravel driveways. Feel free to check out their info on TH-cam as well. Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel and keep my updated with your purchase 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
Not a bad machine, homeowner use really,, I wouldn't modify the impeller, those pins will sheer again much quicker (especially original ones) and the loading from your mod will significantly reduce belt life. Not to mention icing here on L.I causes issues and with no clearance its just gonna jam up even more. There are Dual Belt Auger drives that can handle your mod, those would be the machines to mod out IMHO> Nice quick mod & Repair, those holes look deceiving in size, with those bolts it should be good to go,,,Double nut or use some locktight, the impeller spins much faster, they may come off. (not a huge fan of Nylock on spinning things) BTW I've thought about making one flapper to add to one of my machines, less load and should be effective too. Next Year, I just cant bring myself to work on yet another snowblower lol Good Job,,,,
I have an MTD made Craftsman that started PP and our snow removal endeavors. We made ALOT of money with it before getting an Ariens and never gave us an issue. Once you break the impeller kit it to perfection it just becomes 1 with the machine. Icing should never happen due to serrated augers choping it up. SHOULD be 101 to never to leave snow inside when done.
Looks like the impeller had set screws that hold it on the shaft loosen up . I have never seen a machine that the impeller was pinned to the shaft. Either way the build quality of newer machine is getting lighter and lighter and I mean that not in a good way. If the pins were meant to shear the machine ingested something large and hard. Maybe a piece of ice or a newspaper....
I have a ST 227 purchased 5 years ago. Nothing but issues with it! Within 2 months carb had to be replaced! (under warranty thankfully). Various other minor issues over time. This year had to replace gas tank....who would put a metal gas tank on a snow blower... tank rotted out even though I used gas line antifreeze and drained tank after seasonal use. Tank was $200!!! and install was $100. Every other brand I have looked at has a plastic tank. Will never buy another Husqvarna product!!
WOAH! $200 for a tank and $100 labor! No way! You could replace the tank yourself! The new Chinese engines have metal tanks! Even Hondas have metal tanks! Just the times… Weird the tank would rust even after being drained. I make a good habit after draining a tank…I leave the cap off few a few days to make sure it dries out and then I spray a generous coating of WD40 or anything oil based in and around the tank to prevent rusting.
I had a shop more than 20 years, Back yard mechanic was fine But the birth or the internet destroyed my business. These guys don't pay.Federal. state, unemployment and ssi for the employees. I cut down on doing most of my work myself with a one part time mechanic,. Also business insurance workman's comp. That was the saddest day of my life to turn the key for the last time, I couldn't even be their for the auction. I am officially retired.. I won't even work on friends or relatives. I won't them to take it to a legit shop so they won't loose to social media
Snowblowers for the longest time didn’t have sheer pins in the impeller. Also there are other factors as why this machine is a POS…I have other videos proving so. Yahmahas are rare on this neck of the woods so I can’t make a proper evaluation. Price means nothing Example…Maserati 😜

Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you gave the video a thumbs up to help others and subscribed to my channel 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
Spiral pins work better than split pins. I’ve also used grade 5 or 8 screws and locknuts for the fan retention
Always tempted to use grade 8 but with my luck something with happen and mess up the shaft later down the line! 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
Awesome fix 🤙
Sure is
You should have also checked the gear lube in that gear box. Most people never change that.
They consider it lifetime...I didn't check it bc it just wasn't necessary due to age and condition of the machine. Older units for sure get checked. Some of them you can't check so they just get a few pumps of fresh grease.
@@pattayperformance NEVER use pump grease in a gear box! How is that stuff suppose to move around and lube the gears in cold weather? Gear lube is what you use. Have could you possibly check the level of the lube if it's GREASE?
@ 🤣🤣🤣
Great point…low temp grease is fine. No need to check fluid level or over complicate things.
Been running chassis grease in my gear boxes for about 5 years before I switched to Lucas red n tacky. ZERO ISSUES NONE…NOT ONE even under commercial use.
@@pattayperformanceOK good luck with that.
@ thanks for the well wishes. Do some research on older snowblowers and equipment. You will understand where I’m coming from as well as why I never run into any issues
My husquvarna chute won’t go up and down? How do I fix that?
Check the cable routing and report back.
After the snow & ice accumulation that we received in Ky this year, I may consider getting a snowblower or snowblower attachment for one of my garden tractors. I have never been very impressed with any of the Husqvarna products over the years. Great Video,Jason.
The JD you are BUILDING is going to be sweet! I showed the Mrs the other day...which was the WRONG thing to do😂
If I had a unit like that...blower for sure and plow to get to the bottom!
@@pattayperformance Thanks for the kind regards, Jason & Mrs. Pattay. Right now I am working with my seat spring brackets so that I can scoot the seat back - Evidently John Deere back in 1968 thought everyone was short. I found a brand new set of seat sliders on eBay which should work well with the OEM seat springs. My goal is to make for a somewhat OEM look while making the seat more user friendly. It’s really amazing how strong that the old Cubs and John Deere garden tractors were for such small engines as compared to today’s products.
Jason, Was it you that wanted me to post maybe a video of my S-24 Yazoo High Wheel mower with the 20 inch bicycle tires?
I need to get it out and run it for a while and give it a good spray clean. The mower needs to be repainted to bring it back up to snuff as far as the appearance factor.
I guarantee that my mower with the Predator engine would give any of the DR Brush Mowers some real competition with it’s 1/4 thick blade.
Happy Sunday guys, Great Job 👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thank you!
Good info but took painstakingly forever trying to find the few seconds worth of info I needed
Sorry to read such a simple task as watching a video is difficult for you. May the new year upgrade your attention span from an child to an adult 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
Can anyone recommend a good snowblower to use with a gravel driveway?
So technology has changed over time. Look up the company called Armor Skids. They turned a wheel machine into a viable machine to use on a gravel driveway. Traditional you needed a track drive (like a tank) bc it floats over. Due to armor skids you should be fine. We run Armor Skids on our machines and no issues with the 2 gravel driveways.
Feel free to check out their info on TH-cam as well.
Thanks for the view and comment, hopefully you subscribed to my channel and keep my updated with your purchase 🤙🏻🔧🇺🇸🦅
What did you end up going with?
and if its not those shear pins on the impeller? what then?
Not a bad machine, homeowner use really,, I wouldn't modify the impeller, those pins will sheer again much quicker (especially original ones) and the loading from your mod will significantly reduce belt life. Not to mention icing here on L.I causes issues and with no clearance its just gonna jam up even more.
There are Dual Belt Auger drives that can handle your mod, those would be the machines to mod out IMHO>
Nice quick mod & Repair, those holes look deceiving in size, with those bolts it should be good to go,,,Double nut or use some locktight, the impeller spins much faster, they may come off. (not a huge fan of Nylock on spinning things)
BTW I've thought about making one flapper to add to one of my machines, less load and should be effective too.
Next Year, I just cant bring myself to work on yet another snowblower lol
Good Job,,,,
I have an MTD made Craftsman that started PP and our snow removal endeavors. We made ALOT of money with it before getting an Ariens and never gave us an issue. Once you break the impeller kit it to perfection it just becomes 1 with the machine.
Icing should never happen due to serrated augers choping it up. SHOULD be 101 to never to leave snow inside when done.
I don’t like all the cables on a Husqvarna I’d rather have linkages
I told him to sell it!
Looks like the impeller had set screws that hold it on the shaft loosen up . I have never seen a machine that the impeller was pinned to the shaft. Either way the build quality of newer machine is getting lighter and lighter and I mean that not in a good way. If the pins were meant to shear the machine ingested something large and hard. Maybe a piece of ice or a newspaper....
The craftsman had roll pins...I checked the schematic on HUSKY and it had same sheer pins that hold the auger!
You are correct my Man!
I have a ST 227 purchased 5 years ago. Nothing but issues with it! Within 2 months carb had to be replaced! (under warranty thankfully). Various other minor issues over time. This year had to replace gas tank....who would put a metal gas tank on a snow blower... tank rotted out even though I used gas line antifreeze and drained tank after seasonal use. Tank was $200!!! and install was $100. Every other brand I have looked at has a plastic tank. Will never buy another Husqvarna product!!
WOAH! $200 for a tank and $100 labor! No way! You could replace the tank yourself! The new Chinese engines have metal tanks! Even Hondas have metal tanks! Just the times…
Weird the tank would rust even after being drained. I make a good habit after draining a tank…I leave the cap off few a few days to make sure it dries out and then I spray a generous coating of WD40 or anything oil based in and around the tank to prevent rusting.
Why don’t you use your rubber Matt that is right next to you? 😂
Too Thick...thats what she said
I think I hit snow with mine when it broke.
It happens! Please install the correct sheer pins and hood to go! Keep some extra on hand! Shoveling Snow Sucks! 🔧🇺🇸🦅🤙🏻
NEVER tighten shear pins. In order for them to work properly, they must ALWAYS have slack to allow them to "shear"
Right on!
I had a shop more than 20 years, Back yard mechanic was fine But the birth or the internet destroyed my business. These guys don't pay.Federal. state, unemployment and ssi for the employees. I cut down on doing most of my work myself with a one part time mechanic,. Also business insurance workman's comp. That was the saddest day of my life to turn the key for the last time, I couldn't even be their for the auction. I am officially retired.. I won't even work on friends or relatives. I won't them to take it to a legit shop so they won't loose to social media
What is so strange with destroying a shearpin? Did it on my 7k$ Yamaha once, without complaining it's a piece of shit;)
Snowblowers for the longest time didn’t have sheer pins in the impeller.
Also there are other factors as why this machine is a POS…I have other videos proving so.
Yahmahas are rare on this neck of the woods so I can’t make a proper evaluation. Price means nothing Example…Maserati 😜
no sound
Check your settings...sounds good via iPhone! 🤙🏻🇺🇸🦅🔧
They all have shear pins. I don't understand all the drama.
Incorrect…which makes your comment fake news. Please stop saying that
lots of idle chat.
I get carried away sometimes it happens
your volume is is weak
Fixed in later videos
You talk too much, stick with the topic as there is "strength in brevity"
Thanks for stopping by 🤙🏻🦅🔧🇺🇸
They are a piece of garbage. Mine had issues the first year
They are CRAP after 2 years
That plastic console really is the death of them for me! What are the issues you are experiencing?
Wayyyyyyy tooooooooo much talking!!! And tooookkkk wayyyyyyy longer than needed
In My past Life I was a Yentah!
You talk to much! Stick to the repair and only the repair.
I don’t think this channel is for you but I appreciate the view and comment. Were you able to fix the machine?
