While I'm glad the news was wrong again about another big snow storm yesterday, I'm sad I didn't get to test my handy work. lol
Thanks verymuch. I was going to throw away but then learned to fix . your video best. It was just a chain came of from wheel pully. Thanks
That's great, thanks for watching!
Thanks bud! This video helped us and our neighbors in Minnesota!
Awesome, thanks for watching!
Mario thanks for the video it will help a lots of home owners,I gonna tell you Mario it is the best video I have watched,you covered everything,with your video anybody can do fix and also rebuild a snow blower,Mario thanks again God bless you and your family.
Thank you, I really appreciate your support!
Well done and very thorough! Will make my job easier seeing it done first before I give it a try myself fixing.
Thanks Matthew, I appreciate it!
Mario, thanks for the video. I have to replace my friction wheel and this will help a lot! I appreciate you leaving the issue areas in the video also. Let's me know where to pay a little more attention. Great job!!!!
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Mario, well spoken and clear with instructions and descriptions. Mine just failed on me agin with the drives not turning, and it was super hard to get back up the ramps into my pick up. Glad the amazon part was a dire for too. Take that electric starter apart and fixer up.
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
great video, thanks it helped me out a ton!
Glad it helped, thanks for watching!
Good job
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Mario, great video. I just completed the repair, but I didn't take half of the stuff apart that you did. I removed the drive wheel while still on the shaft, removed the bearings on each side, slid the drive wheel off on the right side with a little manuvering and muscle, slid the new drive wheel back on and reassembled it.
Thanks for sharing that! I believe when I went to do this repair, I watched the video from Donnie boy 72 or something like that. Sounds like you had easier and less destructive way to do it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks bud really great help
You're welcome, thank you for watching!
this is a great how a regular person does it video…im sure every shop would struggle with this because of the double chains in the way
this is a $250 dollar job easily maybe more…
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Waaay too much fun. Been there and done that!
The Shade Tree Fix-it Man well, I'd rather keep the money in my pocket, than some outdoor equipment repair shop. I don't think I can lift that entire snowblower myself on the truck anymore. LoL
Thanks for watching!
The Shade Tree Fix-it Man BTW you have some good content. I was about to subscribe until I realized I already was LoL
I picked one of these up last summer cheap. The gearbox was trashed (previous owner replaced shear pins with bolts). Fixed that and first snow this year I made two passes then no go. I took the bottom off and the chain on the right pulled the upper shaft down and destroyed one of it's bushings. The drive axle seemed to have about an inch of side to side play. I ended up making spacers for the drive wheels so the axle couldn't shift. It's too bad the blower is such crap because the engine starts easily and has plenty of power. Honda hydrostatic is the way to go if you find a used one that has been maintained.
It's a good snow blower, it's unfortunate the previous owner was negligent and what he did with the sheer pins. A lot of people also don't put new lubricant in the gearbox up front. Mine starts on the first pull every time.
@@m3rdpwr Hopefully I'm getting the issues sorted. Mine didn't have the plastic sleeves on the axle - those may have been the 'spacers' that kept the axle fixed. The Briggs 8.5 hp on mine is a strong engine so I want to like this machine.
@@dalesworld1308 mine has Tecumseh engine from a now-defunct company. Both Murray and Tecumsah both went out of business. However, parts are still available.
If I had to do this I wouldn't remember where everything went back together.😂
There's my fear, every time I take something apart! 😄
Just like my new Ariens platinum 30 that would start slipping everytime I did my hill. Hydro drive is the way to go with a blower. Where is all your snow?
First snow two weeks ago was heavy and wet. Took the neighbor's tree down on my house and truck. Ripped the power lines straight from the house and put a hole in the side. Had no power for 3 days. The second storm over 16" Tuesday m melted fast. Heavy trucks destroyed the driveway which is when I forgot with the snow and ripped the skid off from the pit in the driveway. Sorry, about the rant. Are they allowing you to keep the loaner snow blower?!
Sure been a crazy spring. Still don't know havent called them and they haven't called me. I got alot of hours on the loaner now and hopefully the value is dropping.
We're supposed to get another big storm this week, but it's forever changing.
In 14 years when you do this again, use painter's tape and tape that wheel. Leo's the grease and crap off until you're done
Thanks for the tip. I'd be so lucky if it lasts another 14 years.
My dad's Craftsman just broke yesterday. Sounds like it threw a rod.
No fixing that one.
40:52 That's what she said!!! LOL
Ha!
Just so everyone knows, that friction wheel was not that bad. Under the plastic sleeve on the left hand side, there is a plate that he could have moved the cable to a different hole shortening the cable adding more tension on the friction wheel. That and cleaning the friction wheel of excess rubber would have given him all his gears back . It didnt hurt to change the friction wheel, but he could have gotten more use out of it eather way.
Thanks for your input. If I remember, although it's a little foggy in my head, I had tightened it where that little cover goes over. However, it had some strange doings maybe it was engaging improperly I don't remember. It could have been the adjustment that had the wheel positioned where along in gear it was, shifter handle?. It could have been those two things, or combination. That is why I replaced the the wheel. It was 13+ years old, so I figured it was due. It has never run better, so I'm pretty happy with the results. Thanks for your input and thanks for watching!
Good video. But your RPM on Full Throttle sounds way too high could blow a rod check it out
Will do, thanks for watching!
I could buy this machine for 100 bucks. Is it a easy fix. Parts available for it?
Parts seem to still be plentiful for this model however, depending on what you need, it could be more difficult to find those parts or repair it. What does the seller claim to be wrong with it
I also saw an identical unit on sale for a few hundred bucks locally to me on Facebook it was a lot more beat up than mine. they are very good solid machines. Some people complain about the Tecumseh motors but I have this snow blower and a 17 year old lawn mower with a Tecumseh engine and they've been pretty well reliable.
@@m3rdpwr says the carb surges and one of the cables is frozen. Figure a tune up and carb clean would get it running. I just don’t know wht condition the gearbox or auger is in...
Tecumseh engines are great.... if it needs a new engine a 100 dollar predator would work also
@@jamesa6272 it always has more issues than what they say. Trying to find that drive cable could get on the price your side for a cable. If you can clean the carburetor, great. I have purchased knockoff carburetors for 15 bucks on Amazon worst case scenario. If you don't know what condition the gearbox is in, that's a big job. I would actually want to see it running first before buying it.
You’re killing time not using a cordless impact
I don't know how much time a cordless impact would have saved me. Maybe 10 minutes 15 minutes. The majority of work was fighting with getting all the parts back into place. It's also important for people to know, that you don't need any fancy tools to do this job. Just a few hand tools that I posted it during the video Thanks for watching.
