The number one thing you do to a Honda snowblower is never let anybody else use it period

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

Very true. I see examples all the time of people breaking other people's Honda's.

[@charliesmith5189]

I have had and worked on Honda snowblowers for years. Two big issues…..poorly adjusted skid shoes leading to wear on the auger housing and the auger itself. The other is seizing of the auger gearbox axle to the auger halves. People don’t lubricate these properly and then the auger shear bolts are useless.

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

yes, i address this all the time. have a couple videos on servicing augers on both HS and recently HSS models. thanks for watching.

[@ronloomer8263]

The reason people use bolts like i do ,is you cant find the correct dam pins ..On line ordering you get everything,but the right pins. Also dealers are always out.

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

Then you take the risk of breaking very expensive components. You can get grade 2 bolts at any hardware store. Just ask them for the softest bolts they have.

[@frankhoward7645]

Here's my advice. Those skid shoes are expensive. Before mounting them, run a couple beads of "Wear" welding rods across the bottom and when this eventually wears down, apply more. You'll never have to buy a pair of skid shoes again.

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

well the skids for the hss models are about 10 bucks each. they were when i bought about 10 last year. They are double sided for longer life. have you done this welding wear on your machine? sounds like a good idea . I may try it. It only takes 10 minutes to adjust skids . Thanks for watching.

[@frankhoward7645]

@@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311 The last time I bought skids was in 1994 when my machine was 10 years old.. At that time, they hadn't invented the double sided ones. I paid $35 for the pair. Prior to installing them on the machine, I applied two beads of "Wear" weld. Since then, I've re-applied the weld 2 or 3 times and I've never had to buy a pair of skids since. In 2001, my mother gave me her HS624. The skids (totally different style as they attach to the back side of the bucket) were totally worn out. I bought a new pair and applied the wear weld prior to installing them and then I sold the machine to a friend. Oh yes, the welding burns off the black paint so they don't look so great but they will last forever!

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

@@frankhoward7645 agree. some of the good skids are 30-50 or more but i am very interested in your idea. could you share this on our Facebook group? it may help a lot of people. very common issue. check it out here. facebook.com/groups/180228506224122/ pictures? appreciate you watching.....now you have something for me to think about/try.

[@PainterD54]

$600 for a replacement electric starter? WTF? A car starter is a fraction of that! Honda parts are way too much for what you get. Is almost sounds like that blower should have Harley Davidson logo on it!

[@HondaSnowblowerEnthusiasts311]

That is why I look for donor machines or machine people are taking to junk yard for parts. I have about 5-6 spares.
