    THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!! I did a $15 "Super Thanks." I hope TH-cam actually sends the money along to you. The drive stopped working on my snowblower and I found you video. I followed your suggestions and when I removed the bottom plate, I found the bolt you described sheared in half. I replaced that bolt and the snowblower is up and running again. Your video allowed me to fix the problem instead of taking the thing in to be fixed. That would have taken weeks and cost me some money. Again, thank you! You made the world just a little bit better today - please give yourself a gold star and maybe a beer or two with the 15 bucks.

      TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY TY...this comment is the epitome of my channel! Please...if you haven't serviced your machine this season or just in general please do! My wife was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks. As she improved so did her appetite. As we know hospital food isnt the greatest. She was only able to eat and keep down Chicken and Broccolli with assorted veggies and fried rice. You bought her dinner for a 2 nights and forever grateful!

    Thank You very much. You saved me hundreds of dollars in repair by replacing a simple bolt that I never thought about. I was wondering why I saw a broke bolt when I took the cover off the bottom. I replaced the bolt that connects the wheels and I am back in business. My back thanks you.

    Let there be light, LOL!!! Great to see that you're rewarding your frequent and loyal customers with this "courtesy" preventative maintenance tune-up. That's a shame that the factory didn't extend that shear bolt just a little bit more. Could you have gotten away with applying some threadlocker to the existing factory setup? Twenty-five years ago, we had to replace a split slotted spring pin shear pin on an old REO snow blower from the 1970's and getting the pin into the opening was next to impossible, so we just stuck a stainless steel bolt with elastic stop nut on it and it was fine for many more years. Be well.

    • @pattayperformance
      @pattayperformance  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you!
      OEM BOLT is long and is a SHEER PIN. The short bolt in the video is what I had laying around. Sorry I wasn’t clear!
      Threadlocker would work but I prefer nylon lock nut as it’s easier to remove with no heat or excessive force.
      It’s up to people like to make it better or maintain it their standards!
      Hope all is well on your end! 🤙🏻🔧🦅🇺🇸

      Good test if you want too and at your own risk…
      Pull belt over and belly pan. Block up the machine so the wheels don’t touch the ground. But you can still see what’s going on inside. Start the machine and clamp the drive lever in a low speed. Stop the wheel by hand and see what’s slipping
