Thank you for all the information on snowblower. U have saved me money great video and easy to understand for a female.I hate to spend money on fixing things when I can do it my self.😂😂😂😂❤😅
It is a pleasure to watch your videos. Extra tips of do's and dont's are worth the watch. My confidence builds up when I watch your videos. I wish I can get a lift to raise the machine.
THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Your videos were awesome and I don't know what I would've done without this video. I was able to change my friction wheel, and friction disc just by watching you. You saved my a ton of money. Thanks again!
Thank you for this. Although just a bit different, your explanation allowed me to replace the disc on my old craftsman 8/25 and now drives like a champ.
awesome video. I just got my friction wheel in the mail yesterday, and feel confident I can handle this job now!!!! Thanks a lot for taking the time to upload your video. :)
very good explanations and demonstrations for remove and replace a new friction wheel .I have a Bolens snowthrower 8.5 hp 2005 and it's same machine .Thank you so much .
Dony, must thank you again... '94 MTD wasn't driving. At first I thought i just had to tighten the cable. But it still wasn't driving. Then I realized the plate that the friction disc turns on was stopping when I engaged the drive. Then I realized the problem was the drive belt tensioner spring was broken, so there was no tension on the belt and it couldn't drive the plate. As a fix, I stretched the first winding of the spring and made a new hook on it. Problem solved! Lot's of crazy heavy snow out there today. Ugh.... You saved my ass once again :-)
I appreciate your videos. I need to see the procedure for removal of the impeller from a Husqvarna / Poulan Pro snowblower. I have some bent blades and will replace with a new piece. I have a general idea about removal, but I figured I would ask the expert.
Great vid.! My Yardworks 30 inch 14.5 HP won't drive.I replaced the belts and still won't drive.The rubber friction ring is next to do tomorrow morn.If that doesn't fix it...I don't know???? Any Suggestions Dony?
Hello, my name is Erwin...I have been following your training videos for about 9 yrs now! Very detailed and helpful. Thank you for that! In 2010, I was able to fix the auger gear assembly of my Yardman snowblower (track) 316E733E3401. But now I’m stuck with a different problem...the machine won’t propel FWD or REV...I followed every step that you showed in you tube (changed the drive cable, friction wheel, auger and drive belts) and still can’t get it to drive FWD or REV. Do you have any other tips?!? Maybe the transmission gears are seized?!?
don, my question had to do with snowblower augers.could i drill and tap the ends of each auger and install grease fittings? ive had to replace all the bushings due to lack of maintenance, and i dont want the problem again thanks
Excellent repair....very simple...with the right tools, time and lighting. Thanks...what do you do for a living,...I'm curious. You're not a mechanic...are you? Also....did you drain the oil out of the machine first...as not to flood the combustion chamber with oil...or just set the machine down...and wait for gravity?
I think you just saved me about $200 at my local small engine repair crook. :-D Thank you! One question: Is there any danger of having the engine oil seep into places you don't want it when you flip the unit over on its face?
I want to replace the rubber ring on the friction disk but when I went to buy one the repair shop told me that they only sell the complete assembly. can you tell me where I can get a rubber ring only? It's for an MTD .
need some help... I don't see any instruction to replace the friction disc. Mine is rather gouged up from running metal to metal after the rubber came off. How do I judge whether to replace disc?
@clintatch1 I checked Canadian tire here in B.C. they don't sell snow blower parts. If you could help me out that would be great. The machine is a 1999 MTD 10.5 hp model 31AE5B3H515 thanks
I have a Poulan Pro PB30 that no longer goes forward or reverse . The rubber wheel seems to make contact with the friction disc enough that the tires will move as long as there is no weight on the machine. It seems like the mechanism with the springs next to the disc , if pushed gives it a little more power, but not curtain if I'm correct. I'm not mechanically inclined. I uploaded a video showing the disc moving and me stopping the movement of the tires with just my hands. Any advice? Video is on my channel Goldluck2u. Thanks in advance!
Any video on how to replace the drive plate (not the drive disk with rubber). My drive disk wore out and started rubbing hard against the drive plate. Both are trashed.
Total noob question, but I couldn't really find a good answer online... what exactly is the friction disk? I noticed it on my snowblower (with a bad transmission), and I never really knew what it did... thanks!
People like you make this planet better, thank you for the great repair vid
I'm going to make more snowblower repair videos this season so keep checking

Excellent video and explanation on how to - thanks so much!!!!!!!
thank you , you do a great job teaching this to an old, weekend -non mechanical guy like me
you're welcome, make sure you are subscribed
Looks pretty simple. Thanks for the video. One of these days I'd like a set of ratcheting wrenches for tight spots like the ones on that snow blower.
Great video. All straight forward. Wouldn't leave without giving a like.

Good videos. The factory put blue loctite on the bolts that hold the shaft in place to keep them from vibrating loose over time. THANKS FOR YOUR WORK.
Thanks for this timely video! It helped a bunch!
Thanks for a great video part 1 and 2
Great video and nicely done .
Great video!

Helped a lot thanks :)
you are the greatest
great, tell your friends about my c hannel, i will be adding lawnmower stuff in the spring
great video..i have an old jacobsen blower for the 70s..i was wondering how that shaft came out to install new disc..same setup.
Great vid.! My Yardworks 30 inch 14.5 HP won't drive.I replaced the belts and still won't drive.The rubber friction ring is next to do tomorrow morn.If that doesn't fix it...I don't know???? Any Suggestions Dony?
Great job! Can you tell me what is the part number of this friction wheel (mtd) Thanks
you're welcome
On a Troy built 2690, it has a track. Do you have to take the track off to change the friction wheel and disc?
It wouldn't hurt to change out the two bearings at the same time. Saves doing it later on.
@clintatch1 i have seen some at canadian tire, let me know if u can't find one
Please ,show me what kind the grease for maitenance friction wheels Thanks
in some cases similar yes
Donny , My gears on the other side , So my shifter fiction wheel bearing goes in the right on my RANCH KING 8/28 & Tec motor .

not really, make sure the oil cap is tight. also you may want drain a bit of fuel first if it leaks out the gas cap
@donyboy73...Do most snow throwers have a friction wheel disk? Thanks.

+Edward Padilla not yet, it's best to separate the blower to do that

Works like a clutch
it's not a common problem, u can use loctite on the bolts
if there is room that could be possible
Lowes has some
