Big 30 " YardWorks Snowblower Slips In Reverse

[@Don_ECHOguy]

Snow blowing days and repairs are here again at least for some of us and yeah that ["dropsy, where did it go"] thing has inflicted me as well Bruce and seems there is no getting away from it at our age. Good vid once again and a very Merry Christmas to you and the family.

[@BrucesShop]

Merry Christmas to you as well.

[@blairfright9622]

[@BrucesShop]

[@EnthusiasticTruck-xh7ss]

I want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and very awesome video thank you

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks so much. Happy Holidays to you as well

[@themowerman]

Love it when you can start an engine with a hammer lol. I would love to work on these but we just don't get the snow... Hope all is good Mr Bruce..

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks 👍 All iswell

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Won't find many in Raincouver BC but once every 10 yrs when we get a "Snow Storm!" wish I had one.

[@BrucesShop]

I am aware that my nieghbours to the west get a one in 10 year snow dump. Thanks Robert

[@MrGoosePit]

Nice to see a snowblower video. And nice to see you too Bruce!

[@BrucesShop]

More to come!

[@BruceLyeg]

I've never taken mine apart to see, I've just always assumed it was a maze of belts and pulleys. It doesn't look as bad as I expected. Informative video, Bruce

[@BrucesShop]

It isn't too bad but it always looks worse than it really is.

[@motorcoachtech7615]

Nice easy job to change those friction rings Bruce. The only thing different that I do is I always pull off the drive wheels. It gives a little more room, and gives a chance to grease axle shafts for future. I’m surprised that there was only 1 auger belt. Usually on a unit that large they have 2. Cheers. Have a good week.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks for sharing your tip about pulling off the wheels!

[@stevoj8959]

Yep. I use a hammer to fix my snowblower as well. Great job on the videoing Bruce. Where in town did you find that part? Wow. Thanks Bruce. Stevo

[@BrucesShop]

At Canadian Tire. Can you believe it!!! Good to hear from you. :-)

[@TheGreasyShopRag]

I don't work on a lot of snow blowers but when I do I never forget about the snack afterwards. Its nice to see I was getting that part right 🙂

[@BrucesShop]

I should have had a cold beverage!

[@len4338]

Holy smokes those skids were way off. I'm surprised that there was that much adjustment in them. Another good video on upkeep Bruce, thank you.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@davidcurnutt9584]

Great video Bruce! Hope all is well.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks so much!

[@Big_Johns]

I'm keeping all these snow blower repairs locked in memory so when the climate change brings the next ice age to Mississippi I'll be ready to fix these boogers. 🤣 Nice job Mr Bruce 👍

[@wayneessar7489]

Get on anyway and use it to return your neighbour's leaves in fall.

I had to chuckled when you drop the screws because I do it all the time.

[@BrucesShop]

Righ.Thee was no faking that LOL

[@larryjones6049]

I hate losing tools as well. Looks like a snapper drive. I did find a old snapper out for the trash. Fixed it up best leaf grinder I own.

[@BrucesShop]

I have only seen one Snapper with that drive disk.

[@larryjones6049]

I’m in Dallas. Snappers are made in Ft. Worth. They made thousands of these with this drive unit. I like the drive on this because it’s easy to work on and I can get parts.

[@BrucesShop]

@@larryjones6049 right on.

[@gadasavideos8564]

I was gifted a 94 mtd blower from original owner. Gone through a couple rubber wheels. Wondering if I need to go OEM instead of aftermarket.

[@BrucesShop]

I have had god luck with the non OEM bought locally

[@waynestefinashen239]

No problems with aftermarket from Stens or Oregon.

[@jimbrewer2893]

Roger on the dropping stuff. I'll be 75 in about three weeks. I drop stuff then can't find it. It's getting harder to get up from working on the floor.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Jin. Dropping stuff is what we do eh!!! 😊😊

[@haneyoakie14]

Nice Bruce. I see your clipper escaped and made it here to Michigan.

[@BrucesShop]

Yep... You know how they are!!! LOL

[@davewolfy.5932]

Have a great holiday 😊

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks! You too.

[@davidb1683]

Used to dream about having a two stage snowblower. Until I got one

[@BrucesShop]

Too funny.

[@grebni-n7k]

What did you have for snack?

[@BrucesShop]

IOH a Gatoraid LOL

[@grebni-n7k]

@ Not sure what IOH is, but I hope it’s low sodium :)

220V i Europa Was in the "old days" Today it's 230V but still 50 Hz 👍😎

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks

[@stellarproductions8888]

Bruce, I can fix anything, wheres the hammer? If the guy never used the electric starter, could be due to the fact, he's nowhere near a power source. The max distance I'd feel safe using an electric starter that draws high amps, would be 100-feet with a 12 to 10 gauge extension cord. All modern small engines have a compression release. Even though my generator has an electric starter, I tested it once starting via the pull rope, 13HP engine pull started like butta lol. That snow blower aint that old, and it already needs a new friction rubber disk! They don't make them like they used to!

[@BrucesShop]

The owner is very hard on it.

[@fleetwin1]

Cool!

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks.

[@gadasavideos8564]

I just had to flip plug over on a briggs electric starter. Would just click once until I turned it 180 degrees. Ground prong missing on starter.

[@BrucesShop]

I’ve been lucky so far with electric starters.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Send many with the ground plug broken off here at EP so we advise the customer to ensure they pull starter cord straight out and not on an angle. Additionally we put dielectric grease on the prongs to make things easier for them.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Yep not many snowblower owners know they need to use the electric starter periodically or it will malfunction like yours.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks Wayne
