Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on TH-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on TH-cam to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Thanks for a simple and well described walk through. I'm about to take my snowblower apart to check out a drive system that won't engage, and now I know exactly what to look for.
Thanks for the video! Got worried yesterday when my snowblower stopped self-propelling after going through a mess of water and snow... This makes perfect sense!
You make the best videos man. Very thorough and easy to follow! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. My son has been down in the dumps, he got fired from his full-time job. Prayers for him. As a wrinkling woman and weakling mother of three, I am making him fix my snow blower to get him distracted from how miserable his life really is. Thank you!!! ❤❤🥺
Has he found work? Thoughts are with you guys
Thanks for your videos... they've helped me to understand and fix various issues that I've had with my blower!
very informative....hope to fix my intermittent slipping issue when it warms up thanks to this video
Thx u so much for making this video! :)
God Bless all of you merry Christmas and happy new year 😘
Nice explanation of this simple mechanism. Thanks for sharing!
I just purchased a Ariens 24 compact blower and I have been watching your vids to educate myself on how these machines work. Great Stuff and I am sub'ing
thanks for subbing
That really helped me understand what's going on in my snow blower thank you!
Great videos Don! I've watched many and you've saved me a bunch of time and effort!
Great information. I have used your videos to fix and maintain my yard equipment. Always very helpful. Thanks
+Wayne Stocker thanks
Thank you for explaining this, it's helping me figure out why my snowblower is not moving as fast and consistently as it used to.
Very clear, thank you for explaining this!
This clutch system has been around for years. They were using this set up on steam powered saw mills back in the 1890's. so good its never been changed!
interesting
Durability wise, it’s not so practical but if you want easy to maintain and simple, this is pretty good
@@Creeperboy099until it doesn't work. I'd much rather have a chain and sprocket or gear driven. It slips so much in heavy snow in lower speeds that it burns the rubber up with heavy use.
Thanks. I think you just solved the problem on my dads old craftsman. Greeat vdeo by the way.
Thank you. Very easy to follow and helpful.
Thanks you I've just clean my friction disc system before ordering a new rubber Ring it's working great now
Your videos are awesome, donyboy73. Thanks!
What an excellent, well filmed video. Thanks
Thanks for posting this in detail.
Thank you,very much!..Good video.Hello from glorious Russia!..
Thank you from Italy!
I have repaired my snow blower!
I didn't know you had snow in Italy!
good teaching lesson dony, thank you...
Thank you, that was helpful.
Thank you so much....the friction wheel on my Ariens Snowblower shredded (the rubber around the wheel) and in the manual, there was nothing about how to fix it, let alone show you where the friction wheel was located. Now that i know, I can at least order the part and try to fix it. Will definately subscribe to your site....it`s great.
Well explained, excellent video !!
Great video. My drive is slow to engage so I think I should have a look at this assembly and check belt tension plus rust/dirt/oil
I like your video always. Your teaching is clear and simple. Millions will get help from your vodeo. You are doing is what God wants us to do to others. Thank you.
Thanks for this video... gave me an idea on a product I am working on. So far using v-belt with an idler pulley that puts pressure against v-belt is not working out.
I did the same as capetish2 , But on my mind to get it all done in one night, with kit 631021B . I forgot to clean the dish with gas and had to do it the next day , Great videos on all thing you work on THANKS for posting them . Guss we get snow here in Minnesota too.
Awesome brother. Thank you.
Excellent explanation!
Thank you! Very informative video.
you are the best thanks for this ^^^
Very nice information thank you
Very informative post , thanks.
thnx ! Happy New Year!
Love your explanation's, thank you
Great information, thanks
great video thank you
Hi Donyboy ive seen you vids on carburetor service youve used small drills to clean jets I use Torch tip cleaners in some cases hope this helps you from one mech to another
Thank you
Always informative and very helpful. My blower moves, but I'm wondering if I should replace the disk because I have it apart to clean and grease. There are small tabs on the side of the disk that are flush with the contact area (rubber). Should the contact surface be higher than the tab? Higher than tabs= less wear? Advise from anybody would be helpful. Thanks.
@pberglin some snowblowers, i.e. Murray have the disc in addition to chains and sprockets and that's the noise u hear
great job...as always.
@capetish2 thanks for watching!
MERRY XMAS DONYBOY, I'M READY TO BEAT THE SNOW THANKS TO YOU!❤🎄🇺🇸
Awesome video
i'll check tommorrow
first cvt ? , cool stuff , thanks for showing
@Stuffyou100 thanks for watching them!
thank you , your videos are always helpful
+Stephen Solderitch you're welcome, make sure you are subscribed
I went to Holy Family School with a guy with your name.
I wrote to Ariens to ask them if it would do any harm to move the settings of the friction disc so that I would have a third reverse ( I know I would then have only 5 forward ) but the reverse is so slow and I never use that 6 th. They answered that they would not do that because the sno-thro was not made to work that way. What do YOU think please. Thanks for sharing. You are so kind. I have a Ariens pro 28 2017.
thanks dony
Excellent. Thank you. =:)
@respondtomehere could be the gear shifter linkage adjustment
Hello Donboy - I have a toro 824 snowblower which just happened to stop working in the middle of a snowstorm up here in Chilliwack BC - the snow auger works, but the drive axle will barely work in any of the 3 forward positions and a little bit in either of the two reverse gears. I adjusted the tension on the drive belt with negative results I am now thinking that the friction plate is worn out - I havent checked this out yet as I just came across your video on how a friction plate works. The friction plate that you show in your video, would it happen to be associated to a toro 824 - It appears that it is a fairly easy fix. Great video BTW - thanks for sharing your expertise. Burt
thanks for subscribing!
Very Cool video - Saves some of us alot of aggravation from ripoff repair shops.
Thanks, Now I know what I can do to gear up a snow blower to make it faster.
keep the vids comin truckin out
My friction wheel has been worn for a while. It makes the snowblower very difficult to manuever and can cause back pain, because you are constantly trying to move and turn the tank manually. I am at the point where i need to replace the friction wheel and Thank you for your video.
@capetish2 yes, keep adjusting it until it shifts where you want it
Thanks so much for all the videos Donnyboy. With your help I have been able to get a 10 hp 32inch discarded snowblower running. After replacing points and cleaning the carb it now runs fairly well. All I need now is to find an 8 inch 3/4 " bore drive pulley for the auger. It seems to be hard to find one, any ideas? I suspect you are a fellow Canadian. Where are you located?
Hey man thank you so much for the uploads. Very informative. I've got allot of help from your vids. I have a craftsman 2.0 10" saw , and I need crank seals and bearings for it. Would a duramark work to swap bearings and seals? The duramark or homelite saw has a bad wrist pin. So it won't idle. The craftsman saw runs but there is not enough crank pressure to get the oiler working. Please help.
Hello, I have a 2019 ST224 Husqvarna snow blower. Only one reverse speed which is very slow. Is there a way to make reverse speed faster? I really enjoy your videos, very helpful and informative
Thanks.
I have a very old Ariens blower with chain driven drive slightly different to your video. Do you have a video on the disc replacement on this?
yes from Muskoka ontario, i'll check to see if i have a pulley, was it from a murray or an MTD?
You do an excellent tutorial. Thank you
By the way I'm from Maine, Recently I started identifying as a, Canadian trucker!
Thanks
Can you make a video on how to lube and oil this part of the snowblower? My manual shows to use high temp grease and "oil" in some areas. What type of grease and oil should I be using? (Brand names?) and where exactly should I be applying grease and oil?
+turdsandwicher you can use lithium grease or transmission oil on the friction wheel shaft. On the bigger gears you can use lithium or low temp grease. any brand is ok but do not use too much because it can get on the drive discs
thanks Donny Boy!
@LMPservices make sure the cable is tight enough, it's hard for me to diagnose without seeing it
perfect
On my Yardworks(MTD) 30" snowblower the nut under the friction wheel is always coming loose making the friction wheel wobble and come out of adjustment.I often find the large Jam L-nut at the bottom of the belly pan .Should I use treadlocker paste to make sure its not coming off? The friction wheel and its support bracket should remain tight at all time but this nut is given me a hard time because its vibrating loose, making the snowblower useless.
Thank you for your reply
Adjusted drive cable Shift rod and cleaned friction disc and wheel as per your videos
all well
Thank you kindly Capettish
Do you have a video on how to adjust the drive on a Toro 7/24 I can get all 3 forward I can get a reverse when it's level and no force on it.But if I try to back up through snow or back up a hill no go.It wants to reverse but it won't.
HI Donyboy73I really like your channel. You have helped me out on a few repair projects.One thing you might consider trying to improve is you video quality.Thanks
that video is from 2011, I've upgraded to hd a long time ago
What do u think of a Snapper 1030 vs a Toro 1030 powershift. Both probably 25-30 years old. I have both.
Great video, I have this same transmission on my snowblower, and the gear (top left) that is on the shaft the wheels are connected to, does not move the shaft it is mounted to, when the drive handle is engaged. I don't see any collar or anything that would hold the gear to the shaft.
Same here.. not sure to understand what is wrong.. gear turn but the shaft did not turn.
Hello again donyboy. I have the exact same tires/wheels on my White snowblower and I have a constant problem keeping the tires inflated. Anything you know of to use around the bead that would help ? Wondering if you have the same problem with them too ? Mine was built around '93 so yes they are old but the blower has had very little use over the years. Sitting stationary for long periods maybe contributes ? Its a pain when you think you're ready to go for the winter and then ... flat. Thanks !
I have a craftsman blower with a similar setup. Drive wasn’t engaging. When I opened it, the hex shaft pinion gear was ground down, so I replaced that and adjusted the drive engagement handle (it was too tight, partially engaged). Now the machine goes slowly in reverse, no forward. I cleaned up the friction disk, wondering if that rubber needs to be replaced. Do you have any more thoughts on what it could be, prefer not blindly replacing parts.
Hey Dony i got an Ariens 10 horsepower snowblower, and its a BEAST. but i have a problem with the reverse gear. its does all 5 in forward no problem but the Reverse gear just slips a bunch. what could it be? if it was the friction disc the other 5 gears wouldnt work either right?
hey dony my wheels on my toro snow blower do not move when I put it in to gear what they do is they rock back and forth I hope you can help thank you and i like your videos they me a lot and a saved me a lot of money
What are your thoughts on friction disc vs hydrostatic drive? Pros and Cons?
Good video. Thanks for sharing. My machine needs just a little more power getting up hills. It feels like it's the weight of the machine bogging it down. It throws pretty good but just needs more power for the weight. I will check the friction disc now.
7 years later, did you get a chance to check on the friction disc? How'd it go?
Replacing the rubber ring on the friction wheel, I've noticed that there are grooves in the Disk Plate, I would assume that the disk should be somewhat smooth. if so, how would one smooth the grooves out of the disk?
It is for a Canadianna which is the same one I have on another snow blower (a Craftsman) I have. The precious owner used an aluminum pulley used for furnace blowers but it is too soft and the key chewed out the hub. My mistake on the above post, I should have typed 7/8" bore. If you have one that would be great. I am at the other end of the province in Kenora.
@WSmart1 i checked out those sites, it's pretty good stuff
Great description, thanks! Came here trying to find out why when I put it (Husqvarna ST 224P) in forward gears 1, 2, 3, or 4, she still stays in reverse, and in 5 she will go forward at speed 1, and in 6 at speed 2.
Have you ever capped any of the extra holes on MTD or Troy Bilt snow throwers? I can see that this one also has two sets of hexagonal holes on either side of the body. They seem rather large for letting in snow and/or rain.
+Blaine Bugaski yes I have seen people cap them
Any good methods? I was thinking about two large washers and a bolt per each hole. Although if the bolt loosens up the washers would have a lot of room to slide around.
@cardo1111 not sure about those import engines yet
@andrew07kelly try adjusting the drive cable and or check friction disc
ok thanks
I was wandering if you had something on tiller transmissions, I have an craftsman 800 series rear tine tiller and the transmission is not working properly. I repalced the chain and a drive shaft.
Can you make a video on how to replace the drive plate. Thanks
Question, why would my snowblower work in every gear ⚙ except 1st?
could you push start the snow blower by holding the drive lever down and pushing it?
Thanks - but I have an older MTD that will shift but not go. It has two chains. The one on the right (with machine upside down) which has small sprocket on shaft came off somehow. Cant get back on.... I see no adjustment to loosen/re-tighten....Am I missing a simple way to get it back on?
I have a Toro 824 it has 3 forward speeds and two Reverse. Is there a way to slow down the forward speed it travels too fast for me. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
