Seized Simplicity Snow Blower - Will It Run Again?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 มิ.ย. 2024
- A subscriber gave us his old snow blower. He brought it out of storage and started it up. It ran rough, flames shooting out of the exhaust and mice running for their life. He shut it down to clean out the nest and later discovered the 8hp Briggs engine was locked up. After trying unsuccessfully to break it free, he purchased a new machine. Instead of trashing his old snow blower he tracked me down. Will it run again?

He's the Bob Ross of small engine repair!
Ya but he didn't have any happy leaves. Lol
He's the small engine whisper
I was coming here to say the same thing whatever genre you could call this he is definitely truly the bob Ross
Very strange, I've watched lots of snowblower repair vids, but, this chap seems very able to impart his knowledge to the expert and the novice.
@@0rangecray0n br r rrrr r rrrrrr r rrrrrrrr🎉
I used to watch "Mustie", but he tended to talk way too much...
Now I found another garage mechanic for whom I like a lot better!
What a perfect morning. I just grabbed some Dunkin coffee and now I see your video. Thanks for all you do and share with us.
You Sir are a true craftsman and the quality of your work is outstanding. The way most people beat the living hell out of mowers, lawn tractors and snowblowers never ceases to amaze me.
What a beautiful neighbourhood.
i'm from california, and we do not have snow. last tome it had some snow 25 years ago.
today i have learned alot from you. thanks for the show!!
Nice work as usual. Thanks for the video.
A nice change of pace, always a quality video.
Great job Jim!!!! Thanks!!
Thanks for the Video James 👍👍
Great video as always. Very thorough and informative.
Great job James!
Nice job James, as usual.
Pleasure watching you work James
Thanks Jim. We could never get a repair shop to do such fine work like you do.
Great job James, no issue left unsolved. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you James.
Another great video James! I am in awe of the way you were able to stitch the scenes together and not miss a beat! It had to take a lot of patience to wait on mother nature to deliver the props you needed for the test scenes! Thanks for the great content!
Great video James, Always enjoy the way you break things down. Thumbs up.
Thank you So much! Learing so much from you from Seattle!
Great show brother 😊 I enjoyed it
Great job as always James. It needed a lot of TLC. Glad you gave it a second lease on a useful life 🙂
Great video 👍 James
Thanks for the vid James.
Great work very instructive for my new blower.
Great job, guys . Got the book in the mail . It is awesome. Job well done to everyone involved. Have a good one.
Great repair. I really enjoy your videos. Thank You
You are so entertaining to my brother and I. We love to see what problem you got this time. You do always make it seem easy. Rock on dude!
Thank you for doing what you do! I’m learning lots of new stuff about doing mechanical work by watching you repair the various types of equipment!
Such attention to detail , it’s admirable ! I can watch this stuff all day
Thanks James 😊
Great video as always. Wow that lift really has come in handy hasn't it?
I can spend hours and hours watching your videos. I learned a lot, thank you ! 😊
Thanks 🙏🏻 again for all the detail you put in your videos. After u get done with a machine it’s probably better than when it was new😎😎😎👍👍
Great diagnostic work. Now ye have a good snowblower.
Man that was quite a job but you got it all up and running perfectly. Way beyond my abilities now. Thanks for the videos.
very nice troubleshooting and methodical care taken
Hi James , great job
Pretty snow. Good fix. Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks now I know what to expect when my day comes.
Snow the never ending battle. great video James.
Well done. From what started looking like a terminal case, ended well without too much hassle.
Ah yes. A Thursday morning watching a James Condon video! Great job as usual!
I love your videos. Your knowledge of small motors is excellent. Keep up the great work.
Great vid as always watching you methodically diagnose and repair so many issues on that machine was satisfying and educational. Thanks again James. As I watch your videos and see your house go through all the seasons I get a appreciation of how much the seasons effect the lifestyle in your state .
Superb repair, James. I especially liked you putting the new bearings in and making the auger and blower perform. Nice change from stators and rotors!!
Great video. Especially good work diagnosing the various issues, and leaving no stone unturned so to speak. Your thoroughness is admirable and undoubtably has added many many years of life to the machine.
Another award winning job! Like you just brought it home from the store!
Another Great Video, very instructional
I really enjoy your videos and that you are so meticulous and precise with your work and I can’t imagine you let the garage door maintenance lack and sound so terrible.🤷🏼
I enjoy your displeasure with certain engineers and what they have designed.
You did an excellent job on the beast. You are lucky to get so many freebies.
You are amazing! You touched almost everything on this snowblower to get it to run. You have the perfect tools to do the job too. Just love your patience and that lift. I would be scared to take apart since I would forget what goes where. lol Excellent video!
I love how you clean everything, even if it cant be seen.
Jim I really enjoy your videos.
My back feels so much better every time you use the lift😊👍
Love how thorough you are James, but I also like the fact that you know its not always a perfect world and are not afraid to make something work if you need to, such as bending the belt guide in this video cause you couldn't find another one. I think thats what its all about, you want as perfect as possible but sometimes have to do what it is needed. Props on the awesome videos.
James I enjoy your Video very much , great job😀
Nice work restoring that machine. We had a simplicity they are good machines.
Strange that we never have issues with snowblowers all summer .
Great video and great repair James. I agree with the other commenter, that an impeller mod would be a great touch for that machine. Made all the difference to a couple Craftsmans I did here in Southern Ontario. Thanks for the excellent videos!
You say thanks for watching. I answer... thanks to you for those instructive videos🍻🍻
I really enjoy the improved view for us viewers now that you were lucky enough to get that lift. I noticed it immediately from your previous videos. They were all good so far, as I watch them. But it is MUCH improved view at the table level!! Great video, enjoyed it... even though, as retired and in the Philippines, I doubt I can translate much of the snow blower end here for any use here, but the unsticking of a frozen motor will certainly be remembered for use here.
Well I have to thank you sir for all of the knowledge!! Thank you very much. I have a snowblower that needs a lot of work; but now I have the knowledge to understand what I need to do. If I can’t get the auger to work then I will use it for a go kart for my son. 😊
It's doing a pretty good job blowing that slush good working machine
What you have there at the end is what we on the left coast loving call Sierra Cement. It's the norm around here. "Gotta love it". Thanks for another great video.
the shop ramp lift is the star of the show... 👍😎👍
This was the best of all the videos I have watched. It held my interest from start to finish. I was hoping, however, that you would have to tear down the engine to it's bones
As soon as I heard the auger engaged, I knew the carrier bearing was shot. Just went through the same repair on my 2004 model Toro 828 blower.
More knowledge! Yeah! This was a great video!
Thanks
Nice work Jim , works really good now ….
Thanks 👍
Nice repair job on this & I agree with using the anti-seize on those bolts & parts on the blower assembly. I use it a lot myself including spark plugs in aluminum cylinder heads.
Luv your lift a back saver
it was really nice of the subscriber to give you the Snowblower. makes a good video. it could have been run low on oil and seized and someone added oil. I would say you unseized it. good job. I enjoy watching your videos.
This is in my top 3 favorite youtube channels.
This reminds me of the age old question " what's less fun splitting a snowblower or pulling a transfer case " I don't know the answer but I don't look forward to either one, nice job and that blet should last as long as the machine
I've never seen the outside of a snowblower carburetor get that dirty and i've worked on thousands of them before moving to southern Ohio and most of the time i can use my leaf blower to clear the snow. I use dawn dish soap in my ultrasonic cleaner and it does a pretty good job at cleaning carburetors
nice restoration
First my thanks to you machine contributor and yourself. An interesting project! Time to move to Canada and !real! snow. Which I shovelled very often!
Now to fing mouse repellent sprays for all these machines?!
Nice work as always, James! A friend of my showed me a great trick for when the snow is like that. Spray the auger and the chute with some silicone lubricant. Helps stop the snow from plugging in the chute.
As ever great to watch, thanks :)
Another terrific video!
And reminder why I am fond of the Mojave.
Excellent video. Your calm demeanor and thoroughness is admirable. I really enjoy working on small engines and back 35 years ago took classes to be able to repair many types of small engines. Your videos bring back memories and are extremely interesting. Would love to see a mini bike repair or another go kart as those are way more fun!
Dirt bike repair in the works
Haha. James joins the "strangely satisfying" crowd of lawn carers, pressure washers, etc. Snow blowers unite! Seriously, really nice work as usual. Nice change-up.
Nice job on the snowblower, James. I see you, too, have a Chrysler Pacifica. I bought my 2020 used 6 weeks ago and I love it.
It’s a nice car, but have had a few issues. The most recent was replacing both heads :(
FINE fix, Pl nd that's why I like my hoist hung from the roof. I can let pieces ease down on each other and can do 2 at a time if needed. Never had a problem with a Magnetron but it's not over yet. Keep on wrenching and God Bless! Good assistant too!
That one was easy james .. nice snow blower ! 👍👍
Good Job!.
Encore un travail professionnel, méticuleux, merci.
Wieder eine professionelle, akribische Arbeit, danke.
Another professional, meticulous job, thank you.
Great video James! Okay...........enough with the snow! I am so done with it.......but unfortunately there is more in the forecast, so it ain't done with me!
Good job you are good at your job for sure !!!
One of the best videos you put out James. Thanks!!! I use some Pam and spray it on the augers and chute when I get that wet snow, I think it works well and much less expensive than the other things they want to sell to do the same job.
Yep, Pam is the answer for the wet West Coast snow on Vancouver Island.
That snowblower just needed a little tlc, it lives again, nice work James!
Thanks
I have a Simplicity 755E that I bought new in 1996 that is still in excellent shape because I take very good care of my equipment, truth be told there were some winters here in Reading, Pa. that I never had to get it out of the garage, but some winters we did get 15 to 20 inches of snow too!
I respect you alot your a good mechanic I have a shop also, can't find that new spark tester. Thanks
I did a mod to my Honda snowblower a few years ago for dealing with slush/snow. On one of the blades for the secondary stage you attach a rubber flap that rubs against the inside drum of slinger. It keeps the ice from building up and clogging the machine. It doesn't fling it very far but keeps you from jamming up.
Long but another great vid! Simplicity makes good products, they switched to Briggs engines when Briggs bought them out in 2004. I have the same Briggs snow engine in my garage hydro locked (I think)!
Thanks Ken.
I suppose somebody else could do what you do. . . . .but not many. There is no way I could troubleshoot and fix this machine. Basically, most people would just give up and buy a new one.
Bravo !! You even used anti-seize on certain nuts.
Good fix. Worked out well. My theory is that some deposits locked the exhaust valve shut, & when you pressed on the valve, you freed up the engine.
May all your snow be fluffy, and the sun shine
