Just to clarify 2 things;
I haven't serviced it every year since it was purchased. This is why the 1 wheel is seized (the previous shop never anti-seized the axles).
As for the Briggs Spark Plug in a Tecumseh engine, I just meant that it's an "original Briggs plug" and I probably used that last year in place of an RJ19LM or BR2-LM.
Additionally, for anyone interested, I have a cool new tool (induction heat gun) that I now use to free up seized wheels. The issue is, it's time consuming, so I would have to charge my customers for this additional service. th-cam.com/video/x3tUpiHrD5I/w-d-xo.html
I enjoyed the young man's video. It was both informative and interesting. 🇨🇦👴
Hey man, love your videos! About the seized wheel, the way I got mine off was using a of rebar about same diameter of the axel butt to butt and hammered at the other end of the rebar while a helper used a crowbar as a lever on the other side of the wheel. Also sprayed in wd40 along the way
Will K100 help with a no start due to bad fuel.?
@@waynebeck7801 yes as it prevents the fuel from going bad in the 1st place
@@EliminatorPerformance Will it work like tune up in a can? Where you can add it if your mower won’t that start due to bad fuel and it would help to clean the carb?
You're exactly the kind of small engine mechanic the world needs. A guy who knows his stuff and does it RIGHT the first time. Nice work.
Do both wheels drive or just one. I am wondering if I lost a keyway while working on it. One wheel just freewheels. The only driving wheel can cause it to pull on way.
Best lessons I ever learned when it comes to small engines, always turn the gas off and run it dry and fuel stabilizer. After a few carb replacements even the thickest head will learn. Nice video.
It’s so satisfying to start an engine you’ve just worked on and listen to it sound so much better.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent work. You're customer's very lucky to have someone as thorough as you working on her machine. Thanks for posting this.
do the other wheel for goodness sake!!
Your pronunciation is excellent, clear, and paced, like a machine. The best instructional video I have watched on youtube. Thanks I needed all of this.
Definitely agreed 👍
This vid was my bible last summer when I took my snowblower apart to do maintenance (first time in 13 years). I must say, it proved an important part in the performance of the machine during the snow storm of jan 2022. Everything felt snappier, more responsive and stronger. Almost 6 hours of clearing through the day, and it performed like a champ. Thanks for this brother.
Thanks for watching!
I watched this video over and over each time pausing and taking notes. I don't regret any seconds of it. Thank you for a great video👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Excellent video I'm almost 65 and ben working on engines since I was 12. I went to college for auto mechanics. The Toro Power Max is a great machine. I own a larger Airens. A 32" snowfall made that choice. So much good advice here. The products you use are all the same ones that I use. Good Job!
Love how you explain things. Nobody better thanks.
Best snowblower maintenance video I have watched, very thorough. Your customer is very lucky to have such great service nearby.
Thanks for watching!
Best video I have ever watched for Snow blower maintenance. You are a gentlemen and a scholar.
Wow well done! I always say “explain it to me like I’m in the 5th grade”. Well you did and that is awesome. Many of us didn’t grow up around this type of knowledge and videos like this are priceless. Thank you so much.
Tried typing comment but got sent before finished, ref 12 hp noma snowblower . It quit moving ,luckily close to garage after doing 900 foot driveway . Turns out the teeth on the small drive sprocket,,, mostly gone,,, that turns chain to axel sprocket were worn off . Determined due to the axle not being properly shimmed / centered by washers and was able to move left to right , ¾ inch when in use. This caused the large axle sprocket to pull chain side to side with the edges of chain chewing on small sprocket . As far as I know had not been apart . Purchased used and rarely used . Won't be an expensive repair but requires a lot of disassembly . Will be sure to install side thrust washers to keep sprockets aligned . Hope this helps prevent someone else from having this happen .
Your video distinctly shows these sprockets. Thank you
Probably one of the most thoughtful snowblower video I've ever seen and boat loads of tips thanks
I helped out a woman who asked me to help her with her snow blower and I got it going and explained some things to her. She made mention that she had a friend who would like her snow blower checked out/serviced as well. I just wanted to check some vids on how to do it and I liked your video so much. It will truly help me and hopefully make it so I can earn a buck or two on the side. Thanks again!
Back for my yearly refresher. Excellent!!!!
Ganz super gemacht, vielen Dank. Ich habe vor ein paar Tagen eine Toro 826 LE Baujahr 2005 erhalten, welche fast nie benutzt wurde. Stand 17 Jahre nur in der Garage und sieht wie neu aus. Nun werde ich danke diesem Video den Service durchführen. Viele Grüße aus dem Schwarzwald
Great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
A note on how I managed to break free my seized wheel.
Fire up the blower , pull out the axle pin on the offending wheel, and move the blower to a high traction area. Concrete is best.
Put the blower in 1st gear and engage the drive while trying to hold the blower from moving.
This , in my case, broke the bond that the rust had on the shaft and it started spinning inside the wheel.
Then it was just a matter of wiggling the tire off , cleaning the shaft and lubing it properly so it won't seize again.
Hope this helps.
Great video showing step by step how to properly maintain your snowblower along the recommended products.
I purchased my first snowblower this spring so it will be the first winter I’m using it. This video and it’s super-detailed information is just what I need as a beginner. Thanks a ton for making this video. 👏🏻🙏🏻😃
This video was incredibly well done. Clear and concise. Thanks so much!
3:30 A man after my own! ... an here I thought I was the only one who did 'LOTO' at home! ... :D
That was just remarkably thorough. Thank you, great video
My 30 year old un-maintenanced Estate Snowblower watching you give this a manicure while all I did is give it a kick in the nuts and some fresh gas for the season.
Thanks for producing a very thorough tutorial!
That fuel cap trick at 04:15 , brilliant, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the excellent explanations all around. This was the 3rd video I watched on the topic, and easily the best!
Excellent video !!! I service mine every year and this is a good top to bottom checklist !!
What an Informative Video Great Job fully appreciate your knowledge...
This video is PERFECTION!!!
Thankyou.
You make it simple for me to be motivated to want to maintain my snowblower every year.
2 video i watch and now subed your very detailed thank you for your videos, seen a guy ceramic coat a snowblower before he used it. Keeps snow off the machine in and out, blessings 🙏
Awesome video! Wish I found this last year when I fumbled my way through servicing my old Sears blower
Excellent excellent video, thank you!!! I'm about to own my very first ever snowblower and thus video was as good as it gets!! Thanks again!!! Don, Ohio
Excellent presentation covered all the bases good clinic
I have the exact snowblower same as your video and I rarely use it, watching this video to do simple maintenance really helps. I didn’t do as much but pretty close to what you’ve shown in the video, your instructions are spot on and really helps me doing the maintenance. Thank you so much for this awesome video, stay safe out there!!!
Awesome video, thx for being so detailed on the servicing …….very informative & helpful. 👍👌
Thanks so much for the video. I followed your steps and just serviced my 4 seasoned Toro Powermax 824 OE. I was a little intimidated by the machine but now feel confident in seeing how it works. Bring on the snow. 🥶
Nice Video's Man, very clear, good quality imaging, no bullshit. Love this channel.
Great presentation. Easy to understand and follow!
Thank you very much for such a detailed video! Service does not look scary for a beginner now.
Great video! Thanks! Simply explained and demonstrated. It contains more information than most, particularly about the specific lubricants for each part and how to access them. I'm hoping to keep my eighteen year old Toro going a few more years.
Thank you for your videos you are awesome I really like your videos very knowledgable
You’re very thorough and take pride in what you do. Great work ethic. Wish you could work on mine.
After watching this video I decided to service my snowblower - glad I did - what a difference after Servicing. Thanks again for this video full of GREAT DETAILED INFO!! WELL DONE!!!
Nice job, my Deere is 27 years old looks it too. But still a great job as long as you take care of it.
Thank you that was an awesome education session for a person who has never worked on a snowblower.
Excellent video sir!
Wow, very good video, really to the point and extremely clear instructions... You wouldn't happen to be located near Montreal 😅 We could use a pro such as yourself ;)
It works better when you have the 'ON/OFF' switch in the 'ON' position. I was wondering why it would not start. It's a good thing that nobody saw me trying to start it. Old age!
That's why when I shut them off, I always wait for the engine to stop, then flip the switch back to ON. That way, the next time I'm ready to start it, the switch is already in the right position.
Excellent video.
Excellent step by step video removing the mystery of how a two stage snowblower works! Upon removing the bottom panel I couldn't believe the amount of dirt and debris that had collected inside. It was amazing it worked as well as it did prior to removing all the crap inside!
Great video. Thanks for the simple yet helpful maintenance overview
Thanks for watching!
One of the best made and clearest most detailed videos I have ever watched on TH-cam. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for watching!
I thought the same. I subscribed.
Awesome video bud. I learned new things. I have a new toro snowblower 420cc it's a beast! This is its second winter so it's really new. I intend to keep it that way. Awesome tips in this video, i learned new things today. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work 💯👍
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
This is an excellent video you should watch if you service your own machine.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the show
I only wish I had a mechanic as thorough as you in the Cleveland area.
Great work. You sure take good care of your customers!!👍
They sure love me, thanks for watching!
Excellent tutorial. Thanks
Fine job and well done. Mr Toro decided to cancel himself ( overflowing carb and intermittent starter cogs) with our latest snow dump. Your clear maintenance tutorial straightened us out.
THX !
Excellent video Well Done!!!
nice, informative video. My PowerSmart has an additional dipstick at the base of the engine. I'll have to drain that area too.
oil leak. No idea how to trace, but your video did help me understand more about the way these machines are built.
Awesome video. One of the best videos for servicing snowblowers.
Thanks for watching!
i appreciate this video , Im new to the snowblower world and have no idea, now i have a clue.
Excellent video!!!!
Excellent video. Something you also could include for older machines, whether it’s snow blowers or lawn mowers: every few years I’ll take the housing off where the fly wheel is, and I will sand the magnets on the flywheel and the rust on the coil pack, and then stick a few pieces of paper in between the coil pack and flywheel as I re-attach the coil pack, to set the gap between pack and flywheel. This really helps improve the spark and my 17 year old snow blower still starts on first or second pull.....I would always rather pull start because it’s easier than getting the cord out and hooking it up.
Awesome video, very clear, though I don’t feel comfortable doing this work myself, there’s a lot of information to make me a more informed snow blower owner. Thank you very much for this video
Great job on the video!!!
Wow. Some really great DIY ideas for your viewers😁
Excellent walk through on appropriate annual maintenance. My *old* Craftsman was in rough shape - everything seized up and used up. Now runs and operates like a top. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching!
Great video as always, 👍👍. I like that you show the products you use and the reason why you use them. Thanks for sharing your expertise. I use that K100 myself, great stuff!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video ,clear pictures. My noma performance 12 hp × 34 in wide
Great video! Thank you
You are great. I learned a lot here. I will do this to our Cub Cadet.
Good job buddy, I'm about to start my own small Eng. biz and found this helpful.
Thanks for watching!
Very well done ! Thanks for this very valuable info. !
I cleaned my drive wheel off last season but didn’t think of all the other stuff in your video, Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Hello Eliminator Performance
I really appreciate your service performance and I thank God there’s still much great in the world considering all the negativity. After watching your video, I will service my own snowblower (tomorrow) and follow your steps consistently and also pass your video on to those who don’t mind performing their own service. Some people do and some don’t which is why we’re hear to service them, which is a great livelihood for many who love to work with their hands. I’m sure there was a time when you probably didn’t know much about this and now you know a great deal, which is a blessing. Keep your power in its greatest place of purity and you’ll always find infinite blessings
Thank you again

Real nice video. Thanks!
Excellent video. Very thorough !!
Thanks for watching!
I am very handy and I use youtube videos to refresh my memory. I have seen a few videos that are well explained but yours is one of the best. Even a person who has never worked on small engines will be able to follow your clear and concise explanations to get the results desired. Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge.
Very good basic info before snow season although I have found changing to a new spark plug will help starting in very cold weather. You should have asked the owner about fixing the rusted / wheel problem just in case there was a flat tire later. Spray oil lube to throttle cable which is a wire in a wound wire housing that get wet and can rust up. Check tire pressure too.
Thank you for the good tips Eli Per
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Learned a bunch!
Excellent ,well explained video. I'm going to work on mine , its overdue.
