Thanks!
Thanks so much. Glad to help and if you ever have any questions I’m always around for advice.
Thank you Sir
@@waylonmcdonald2325 you got it my friend.
Thanks for video. Use this today on Cub cadet snowblower with exact same track set up. Same stupid plastic pulley wheel. I was 2 weeks over my warranty. I appreciated your descriptive video.
Great to know brother. I didn’t know they made a track setup. It makes absolutely no sense why they would use plastic to turn something that is under so much pressure while working. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions.
I was fortunate enough to have been raised by a aircraft mechanic (dad) who had practical and engineering experience. I became an Engineer, but brought his sensibility to the design aspect. Learned to work on machines myself, and not totally trust computer aided design without real hands on to test servicing of the equipment. All Engineers should apprentice with the folks in the field, and learn from them.
Great video. I totally appreciate it! Drive wheels will arrive tomorrow before the snow storm. Everything has so far gone exactly as you have said. Thank you again.
We all need more engineers like you. Not ones who sit behind a desk and push out things. Thanks for the feedback brother and let me know how you make out or if you have any questions.
Thanks to you I’ve replaced both drive wheels in under 30 minutes with minimal effort. can’t wait to check out your video. I’m servicing the pressure plates, etc.. thanks for what you do, my man!
Glad to hear, thanks for the feedback my friend. There really good units, with minimal preventative maintenance they will last a long time. Let me know if you have any questions , always around for advice.
This was the only video I could find on this damn machine covering these particular style of tracks. Thanks, bro!
I truly appreciate the support my friend. Glad the video could help you out. I’m always around for advice.
Great sharing brother God bless you
Thanks my friend God bless you in all you do as well.
Excellent video! You are a natural instructor, clear and concise! Thank you for saving me big bucks over going to a dealer!
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to have helped you sister. Have a safe winter.
@@MrV2u Any way I can send you a coffee or other beverage of your preference?! (By the way, I'm a mechanically inclined sister! 😘 I restore motorcycles and do car maintenance.) 🖖🏻
@@jeandunow7794 just the feedback is plenty, thanks for it. I love hearing my sisters handling their business like a boss. I’m a heavy duty truck mechanic and work on anything from cars to hi-lo’s, but I never turned a wrench on a motorcycle. If you ever have any questions on anything I’m always around for advice. Keep on wrenching my sister.
Fantastic video. Same for a Cub Cadet. About to place my order. You are a life saver!!
Glad to help my friend let me know how you make out.
Will do, my other issue is that the “brakes” that help you turn don’t work anymore.
@@Oilbucky it’s a small world because mine just went on the left side. When I get to it I’ll have a video posted.
Thank you for making this video. I have the Cub Cadet snowblower series 700, which seems to be a very close if not exact copy of this Troy-Built machine, even the bole and nut sizes are the same. I totally agree with you regarding the plastic drive gear mounted to the metal crown nut. "Planned obsolescence"!!!
Good ole engineers. Planning for the future of their companies. Let me know how you make out brother and thanks for the feedback.
Thanks for the video , I was having heck of a time replacing the wheel and putting the track back on till I watched it ....great job , thanks agsin for the record mine is a cub cadet with the same setup.
I’m so glad I could help you brother. Thanks so much for the feedback and cub cadet info. We have a lot of snow heading our way upstate New York so I’ll be putting those tracks to good use.
Thank you, very useful. Mine is a cub cadet with the same part to replace.
You got it brother. Let me know how you make out or if you have any questions. Thanks for the feedback.
Such a disappointment. My wheel is the wrong style. It won’t work. But I’m using the website that you suggested to order the new wheel. I decided to order both wheels because I saw the cracks on the other wheel that is still functioning.
Great video and very informative
It’s always something huh lol. Glad the video helped you good luck with the install my friend. Let me know how you make out.
You'd think the April Fool's joke I suffered this year would have been the 11" of fresh snow I woke up to that Saturday. Nope. It was the track drive wheel breaking on my Cub Cadet 3X 30 Trak about a third of the way into cleaning my driveway. But, thanks to your awesome video, I was easily able to replace both drive wheels and both tracks, which of course, guarantees that we won't see any more measurable snow this spring in Minneapolis. At least I know she'll be ready to go when the snow flies next season. Keep up the great work!
I feel your pain brother. We had like no snow the entire season. Then we get like 13 inches and I made one pass and the blower started trying to do doughnuts in the middle of the street. To top it off all the neighbors were out watching me fight this thing all the way up the driveway then watch in shame as the garage door went down. Nothing beats a truck with hood height to it during snow storms lol. I’m glad the video could help you my friend. Wait till next year we’re both going to terrorize some snow drifts.
What a terrible design
Should have been made out of all metal or. Heavier duty plastic

Great video. I have a slightly different model, but I think everything still applies to what I have
Thanks for the support. Let me know how you make out my friend.
Thanks! Unreal how fast that was! I have a Craftsman 208cc CMXGBAM1054545 - exactly the same as the Troybuilt you have - same part # too.
So much appreciated my friend. Another blower to add to the list. I never knew Cub Cadet, Craftsman, and Troy Bilt all have the same setup. Thanks brother
Excellent video. Thank you !!!
I’m glad to help my friend thanks for the feedback.
Troy-Bilt Storm Tracker 2690. How do you adjust the angle chute cable? Goes down, but will not go back up without help. Please do a video on this. YOU'RE AWESOME!!! Thank you.
When I get it out of storage I’ll help you out brother.
@MrV2u SO COOL!!! Thanx man!!
Very interesting video running h 👌👌👌✅
Thanks my friend.
I bough a brand new 30 inch 2015 model at a discount store. They had a few 26 inch and 30 inch models that all had cracks at the metal insert on the drive wheel. In assuming due to some sort of manufacturing defect of that run of drive wheels. These new machines with the proplem must have been sitting in a warehouse for years till this discount store acquired them and after a few were returned when the already cracked drive wheels broke apart they contacted mtd and were sent new drive wheels and instructions on how to install them. 26 inch models they had no problem swapping them but the 30s had too much thread lock on the bolts to remove the drive and they broke a couple bolts trying to remove them. They told me they did not want to sell me one because of this bolt issue before I explained to them likely it was threadlock on the bolts and some heat was needed to loosen it up. They then sold me one agreeing to let me install them and still have full warranty which mtd was honoring once the discount store replaced the drives. Long story short... Sorry.... The instructions they were given were not that good. They wanted you to have one person grab the tensioner arm with large channel locks and release tension while a second person pulled off the front idler wheel to release the track ..... Really???? Two people??? Lol. I found this video and thanks for posting. I would suggest though to not clamp vice grips on your shaft and scuff it up bring the teeth. I just exposed the drive gear inside as he did and I wedged one side of the plastic coated handles of channel locks pliers through a spoke on a big gear so when turning the shaft bolt out the handle rotates around and stops against the friction wheel slide shaft. Also rather than rotating the track trying to misalighn it and pop it off, for me it was easier to just grab the front idler wheel and and track and pull it off while pushing the track inwards at the tensioner to loosen it. Reassembly was same as this video.
Great info brother. You are correct thread locker is always easier to deal with, with a little heat. I would have bought a couple from the discount store repaired the drives and tried to sell it for a profit. Enjoy your winter my friend and thanks again for the info. Hope it helps other people out.
Hello, well the job is totally completed, just as you said. Everything worked out and rather quickly too! Got the two new drive wheels and installed them in about 10 minutes per side! I may need to change the friction wheel next year, but for now all is good! Thank you again.
Awesome news brother. Glad to have helped. If and when I have to replace the friction wheel I’ll definitely make a video of it. Thanks for the update. I’m sure we’re done with snow blowing season in upstate New York. Upcoming video is how to winterize/summerize the snowblower.
Did you have to take the hole track off?

You can try and fight the track but it’s easier to just take it off.
With my luck even w/ the baggie I would flip snowblower over & gas would be everywhere , good job snow on its way 4 u
😂 nothing like the smell of gas to fill your house lol. Hope your ready for the storm of the century coming this weekend.
Outstanding video. Used this today without any problem. Great resource 🤙
Glad to help brother. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks! Easy peasy Japanesy! 15:50
You got it brother glad to help.
Well done 👍 Thinking of buying that exact model. Can you tilt the bucket up say 8 inches to drive up ramps into a pickup , never owned a track blower just the wheeled versions.
If you can get a regular wheeled snowblower in the bed of the truck you’ll be able to do the same with the tracks. You’ll just lean it back like the wheeled version and send it up. You won’t regret the tracks brother. Check out my other video with the snow storm cleanup and see it clear over 2 feet of snow.
DRIVE IT UP IN REVERSE SO U DONT HAVE THE BUCKET HITTING
@@dankaras7085 good idea brother
Thanks. But do you have an idea for me because my track drive wheel is really stuck on the shaft??? Thanks for your help
Wd40 everything and get a pry bar behind it, don’t worry if the plastic breaks, work it from opposite sides to get it loose.
Thank you so much !!!
You got it my friend. Let me know how you make out.
I'm working on it now and i can't " pull off " the broken wheels :/ i don't understand why, i've followed every steps.
@@flyingpotato101 did you take out the 1/2 inch bolt? Spray it with wd40 and try to knock it off with a hammer. Hit it rotate it a lil bit and hit it again. If the bolt is off it has to come off.
Thank you for the reply ! The plastic wheel is really stuck ! I tried your suggestion, yes the 1/2 is out. I'll keep you posted when i get a result. Thanks again !
Bigger hammer with a drift punch and hit it closer to the shaft. If you can get some heat on the metal part on the shaft. Not the shaft but the metal gear in the plastic wheel.
Thanks!
Thanks so much my friend. I’m glad it worked for you. Now your ready for any storm coming next year lol. Thanks for the support brother.
Great sharing my friend // Create Friendships 💛👍🔔New member
Thanks my friend, means a lot to me.
Replaced one side but on re-assembly the j-hook just straightened out. Don't count on those to actually pull anything back into place.
I haven’t had any issues with mine. Make sure everything is loose before tightening the j-bolt brother.
I just did this repair today and I bought the wheels directly from Troy-Bilt. I can’t find any difference from my 10 year old 2690XP that I bought new from the old wheels? What am I missing? Thx
Not sure what you’re asking brother. Most companies reuse parts from older units to save themselves money.
Thanks for this video! Any tips for the situation where I'm struggling to get the bar down after loosening the J-hooks and applying the WD40? I used a mallet on it a few times, but no luck. Maybe I need to tap it harder?
Once you remove the j bolts and hit it with the wd40. Hit it hard with a block of wood with a heavy hammer. If it doesn’t budge hit it up to shock it. It should come loose. Make sure the bolts on the wheels are very loose if not off completely. Let me know if that helps brother.
@@MrV2u Thanks so much! I added even more WD40 and kept hammering and eventually got it. Appreciate it!
@@RaffiZack if you ever have any questions I’m always around for advice my friend.
Appreciate the video- just blew out that drive wheel today on a borrowed Troy-Bilt... I had a question: would it be easier to remove the bolt on the drive wheel BEFORE removing the tracks as you can use the tracks to hold the wheel to remove the bolt? Maybe put the tracks on before putting the drive wheel bolt back on. Do you even need to undo the j-hooks if you take off the idler wheel instead?? Thanks!
You will be able to get the bolt off the drive wheel easier with the track on for sure. You will need to get the j bolt off for sure because even with the other wheel removed it’s still a tight fit. If you do happen to get it off without removing the j bolts it will be tough to get it back on. Let me know how you make out brother. Good luck and thanks for the suggestions.
I AGREE, REMOVE THE IDLER WHEEL AND MAYBE U WONT HAVE TO LOOSEN THE TENSIONER J BOLT, BUT FOR THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO LOOSEN THE J BOLT, I WOULD DO IT
I'm having a hard job getting the rear wheels with the J hook back into the original position, I almost straightened one of the hooks right out but the bar hasn't come back.....any suggestions.....thanks
Did you pull of the front wheel to give your self more room? Once you get the front wheel of it’s easier to get the other one on. Spray where the bar runs into the slot with wd40 and give it a couple taps with a hammer to persuade. It into place.
@@MrV2u
Do you mean to leave the front wheel off till the back ones are in place with the jhook ?
@@gordoncarver339 yes sir
@MrV2u ok thanks , I think I tried to put it back with the front wheel back on....I have to change the other side now as well , I will see how that goes once I get the wheel, thank you for your replies , you have been a great help
