This snowblower belongs to the gent who helped cut down my trees. This big snowblower has a 14.5 Briggs Engine and it only runs when the choke is activated. I did not show the installation of the new chute but it was 4 bolts. I am so sorry. It is near the end of the video. This job sat in the shop for almost a month waiting for parts so I lost track of what was filmed. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

Thank you, Bruce. Very helpful information for repairing my Husqvarna snowblower. You're like the Bob Ross of mechanics, very soothing to watch and listen to you. Stay safe and healthy!
Thanks you David. All the best to you and yours.
Love how the wheel came off to change the oil, what a bonus ! Thanks Bruce !
I liked that too.
Great Vid Bruce. The only thing I do different is to make sure the drive disk isn't getting too much pressure. Even though the linkage may seem too loose when the drive lever is not depressed, I set the linkage so the tension spring extends about 1/2" after the rubber contacts the aluminum disc. Too much tension wears out your hand as well as the rubber drive disc prematurely! Keep the vids coming! Enjoy your vacation if i don't talk to you before you leave.
Nice tip Ken, thanks.
@@Mike-ig2zq Yes thanks a lot Ken
Everytime i watch your videos i learn something.Stay warm and i cant wait for another video
Ok Thanks Tom
When your 6.5 decades old like you have said we start to have short lapses in memory, wait till your 7 decades like me the short lapses get a little longer. Still like watching your videos, nice to see a younger man show passion for a good well done.
Wow. not very many places I go where I am the younger man.
I just caught up, now I've seen all your videos. I really appreciate all your quality work, and I've learned plenty. Thanks for the enjoyment I've had of watching. Wish my garage was (half) that clean, lol!
Well that is a lot of watching. Thanks a lot Timmy
You probably dont care but if you are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all of the latest movies on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my gf these days =)
@Milo James Yup, been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :)
Much appreciated Bruce. I've got my fathers old 1130SBE-OV from his back yard that has been covered with a tarp for years and I'm currently putting it back in working order. From a licensed jet aircraft mechanics perspective, this is by far one of the most quality videos I've seen. Outstanding job sir. Keep up the quality work.
This made my day Thanks a lot.
great work Bruce, sunshine is on it's way to your area
Right on
Another quality video. I like the way you always do it Right the first time.............
Thanks a lot Keith. Maybe not the first time but the last time.
That's a beefy looking snowblower. Big engine like that might be good for wet heavy snow I would think. Great fixes Sir Bruce. Now waiting for the chute to get fixed. Keep the video's coming.
OK I did fix the chute . I think the battery died on the camera. It was just 4 bolts
Nicely done Bruce
Right on Donald
Great job Bruce👍👍👍👍👍
Thakns a lot
Another great video thank you bruce
Thanks
When I find gas in the oil, cause of a bad needle, I change the oil with cheap oil, let it run for about 1/2hr, change it again but this time I use good oil.... Great video as always.
Right. I should have put old oil in at first you are right
She's just like new again because of father Bruce. When I come across gas in the oil or water I change the oil 2 or 3 times , sometimes I use a little engine flush product. Its been super cold and snowy here but its warmed up some the last few days. I just got a 9/28 craftsman blower in with a cab and power steering???? Yes on a walk behind
Hi Dave Ackerman 🤟
@@ZombieDaveAZ Hello brother Dave😃
@@davessmallenginerevival2847 Hi guys
great close up video...........
I hope that is good
Just a word of advice from a fellow old timer, use premium non ethanol fuel in all small engines. Ethanol in fuel draws moisture to itself. I’ve removed countless fuel bowls off carburetors to find a teaspoonful if water in the bottom. I tell my friends about the ethanol to find out that most of them never thought of that.
Right I think I mention this on most of my videos. thanks steve We always need a reminder
i have its baby bro... 8 ot 10 horse. 15 model without goin and looking.. got it for free... the rubber wheel was rusted to the shaft. lil wd and knockin back n forth all cleaned up works great. i like this blower .. its a beast... can cut the corners off banks in high speed.. finger steer .. works great. dang thing is brand new
Thanks for the great comment
Great video sir thk you
Thanks again EB
good one mate.. nice blower, i loved the mess on the bench. you should leave it like it lol . hope you and mrs p are doing ok
Thanks Mick. Yes the mess is something I sould get used to. we are doing better everyday
Hey Bruce my snowblower is practically the same and it's a 14.5 ft lbs of torque it's not a 14.5 hp motor it's and 8hp I was fooled myself i own a 14527sb-ls and only running on choke is a common issue with these it's not uncommon that's for sure. New subscriber great channel Bruce really happy with your content. I watch you on Ken's small engine all the time! Great sense of humor by the way!!
Right If it runs on choke only a carb clean is in the works. That tells me it has sat with older fuel in it for a while
Zippo would be proud of you cleaning the bench - as I see by Mick’s comment - liked it a mess- ha ha
Lots of teasing going on eh!!!!
Bruce Pender I watch you and Zippo on Mick’s live cast all the time. Great fun and information. Will be good to see Zippo back after surgery.
It too big but I want one lol We need snow here had none.. Catching up mate I have been studying all week had a german test yesterday.. Got a pass ;-)
Good for you. Borders shouldn't be a barrier to knowledge.
That’s a big one. Be good Bruce
Thanks again Joe
I'm still learning from you buddy. Thanks oh by the way it's not cold here. 😎
I know good for you :-)
If you are going to be using pull chord to cold start it it’s a good idea to put 5w30 full synthetic oil in it. Doesn’t thicken up at -17.
Good point
great vioeo
Hey Bruce do you know to remove the bearing from Husqvarna ST 124. I am trying to replace impeller and can't get the setup out til the bearing is off. I've tried slide hammer and gear pullers to no avail. It seems there would be set screws in the collar but isn't anything there.
Is there 2 set screws on the base. I just saw that. Next is heat, pullers and patience.
@@BrucesShop there is two holes for set screws my guess the assembler didn't install them. I bought this brand new from Sears. Well the bearing itself is off however the collar is still on. Heat is my friend but what to use to pull it off? 2 jaw puller?
Great video Bruce. I was wondering if u greased the drive shaft . Or do u not do that . Just curious
I use a bit of low temp grease. very little as you would understand.
How's she goin'? Lots of HP eh!!! Nice overall checks and adjustments. She's ready for anything now!!! Any idea why there would be fuel in the oil? Take care and stay warm!!!
I am sure the carb needle and seat leaked into the crankcase through the intake valve
I’m never gonna need one in S Fla, but I saw moving truck from NY Saturday, and there was a snow blower in the middle of the front yard.
Opps, things you forgot to sell before you left.
Well you hope so. :-0
Hey Bruce. Do the augers need to be "timed" on the snowblower? By this I mean do the auger ends need to line up to operate properly? Looks as if one auger is 180 degrees from the other. Just asking.
As long as they are pointing in the right direction, the answer is no. Beware when a customer calls and says the thrower isn't throwing good. I had a customer who bought a "refurbished" Troy-Bilt Storm thrower which actually work pretty good. Problem was the original owner put hardened bolts in when he busted the shear pins and they took out the bronze auger gearbox gear. Whoever put it back together had the auger rakes pointing out instead of in so the thrower would just fill up the ends of the basket instead of pushing the snow towards the fan in the center. Took a minute to figure it out.
+Ross They are welded up to be 90° off from each other so they are less likely to "pinch" things between them or pack snow between them. The only way to bolt them in is 180° off and no matter which way you do that, they will always end up 90° off from each other. As Ken said, the only mistake you can make is to install them on the wrong side.
There is a youtube vid out there, tho, of a guy who worked on a 10+ year old Craftsman that had 2 right hand augers on it, lol. Apparently it was like that since new and no one noticed.
@@l337pwnage Yes the shear pins do the job
What kind of lift is that? I need to get one in my old age. Thanks.
This video will help it is older

Are you sure you need a fender washer? Or would a Pender washer be more appropriate! 😬😬
Love the wheel off approach to changing the oil, will give it a try this coming spring when I service mine for storage!!
Watching you tighten the cap for the oil drain tube, gave me another idea, take a strong half gallon jug cut out a portion of the top leaving the handle and spout/cap section for pouring into a transfer container, second cut a round hole to fit over the drain tube which would help hold it in place....
Have fun doing it.
Well go find the one on YT that has a 454 V8 Bruce :-) Happy Groundhogs day Sunday FEB 2
Thanks OJ
-17F.....yikes that's cold..... It hasn't gotten lower then 19F above here in Maryland, and now it's 41F, damn that's cold, keep warm buddy.
Thanks
I got a question. Does these machines need any maintenance/grease to the drive wheel system? My dad and brother both have the same husq models and when you move the machine while its off, the one machine makes a loud grindy noise somewhere in the drive system.. The other machine is much new, makes a similar noise but no where near as lous. Also, the one machine that makes the most noise, when it sat over spring/summer the wheels/drive system felt like it seized up a bit and its all related to this grindy noise Im hearing.. Do you guys have any ideas on a solution? Im about to take the bottom cover off and see whats going on..
At 23:36 it shows the open transmission. I use a cold weather grease and lubricate the moving parts (use a very small amount of grease) After you are done, clean the flat drive surfaces and the aluminium plate and MAKE SURE there is no grease on the plate and the rubber drive wheel.
@@BrucesShop Thanks. Yours is actually on the opposite side of mine, weird..
One thing I like about this blower is the traction and torque in the wheel.. Ive had and used some real shit machines over the years but this one is a little workhorse imo. And its perfect for my dad, nice and light plus the torque in the wheels is sweet.
they come in non running or 50% running on choke, but then leaves bruce's shop running again minus all other things that needed to be fixed on them also, hope all is well sir.
Thanks again sir
Should have modified the impeller while you had the chute off! Been a whole new machine!
Do you mean adding the rubber seals?. This one was very close to begin with. My old john deere has a 1/2 an inch gap I did that one.
Bruce Pender very nice! My recommendation is to do them all. It will PAs your retirement fund 😬. You can start adding limes in your Coronas lol
@@pattayperformance Right on. Got it.
Is there no oil in the auger gear box?
As far as I can the unit is sealed. If there is a bolt on the bottom it can be drained. Every unit is different.
@@BrucesShop thanks 😊
I purchased a new husqvarna last winter and thought I was going crazy when I couldn't drain the gear box oil? 🤪
Husqvarna contracts out their snowblowers, as do most companies.
I lost all respect for husqvarna when they started using those junk plastic transaxles on some of their riding mowers. Any company that cheap and shifty isn't worth buying anything from.
@@bubbafudpucker397 A friend of mine had to give up on his Husqvarna snow blower and I am a little disappointed in a Husqvarna push mower I bought, but I haven't completely written them off yet. I just know I have to be more critical of their products in the future.
Unfortunately, everybody wants cheap cheap cheap, so that's what a lot of companies make to stay in business.
@@bubbafudpucker397 They are going that way
Yep, don't buy Husqvarna if you want a quality snowblower!
They have announced that they are exiting the consumer market.
This is the same engine that's on my Ariens, The markings on mine say 14.5 torque power, which is 11.5 horsepower according to the dealer. Just saying
You are probably right
Yeah that's a little excessive for a snow blower, I have that same size engine on my Riding mower.
Right. It is a big one
Maybe they make a 14.5 hp motor on a blower not sure, that would be a big ol motor lol
The rating is hard to understand.
That is a Big Snowblower......
It is Thanks Jim
What was he doing while loading, blowing snow!!!!!!
He was probably doing something important. LOL It was me. ( answer my own comments)
Burrr to dang cold for me
Me too
I have the same blower with a blown engine . I think it was run on gasy oil too . This is why the fuel shut off should be use when it is not running .
Right. Those carbs are leaky
Very nice machine! Looks well engineered and very powerful. 14 HP is overkill, but as Tim the Tool Man Taylor would say "More power Ha ha ha!". Well engineered, then they mess it up by the plastic bottom pan. I would love the have insight into the thought process on that one. Cost? Less damage to things it runs over, because of softer materials? Engineer had too many Coronas night before designing that part? Part of the fun of these machines is to look at and understand the brilliance of these tools. Each piece carefully designed to add value by increasing safety, durability, ease of use, etc. I wonder how the chute was damaged. Thanks Bruce. Good video. Is that battery powered drill an impact tool, or just a regular drill? How is the battery life? I can see it is orange. Black & Decker, or Ryobi or what brand? That long extension makes life easier.
The owner sucked something metal through like a dog leash or like that
@@BrucesShop that would explain it.
#ChiefsKingdom !!!!!!!!!!
OK??? Can you explain Sorry I missed it. I have a lot of comments in a day.
He didn't want to mix new gas with old, so he put the fresh gas in the crankcase. :)
Great work as par Bruce! Pretty hefty looking blower, interesting auger design.
How's it going? Hope all is well.
-Niles
Thanks Niles. This blower had a pretty long list of little things wrong. I was surpised at that. thanks for watching
It was new fuel 60 days ago!!!
That is all it takes to become old fuel you got it.
How do u know if the machine is a Guy or Gal ???? Lol. U called that one a guy. I just wondered!! Lol!!!!!
It is just a feeling to funny
Husqvarna has no clue who their dealers and servicing dealers are. Put in my zip code, and a bunch of hardware stores that do NOT sell the brand pop up (never sold the brand), along with 2 service centers that closed three years ago. The website help? Good luck with that, the problem that I had has no 'links', so if you plan to use that website, make sure that when you break the snow blower, you break something that has a link to it (lol), because if you don't, forget getting a fix before winter is over. Bottom line, you will NOT be able to talk to anyone. Customer service is non-existent, best thing to do is avoid this brand period, whether it is a snowblower, motorcycle, or a hand held feather duster. Nothing but headaches trying to solve a problem or troubleshoot it.
Thanks for the information
