HOW-TO Replace A Toro Snowblower Drive Cable

[@JL-qo7cs]

What I like best about your videos besides them being practical is that you get right to the point. No goofy intros. Keep up the good work.

[@threeblackcats]

I just have to say, having suffered through numerous poorly done how-to videos, that this - by far - was the BEST EVER. Clearly shot, clearly explained, good lighting, short and to the point with part numbers and wrench sizes. This is a thing of beauty. Well done.

[@jetlee7743]

Great video. I I've owned this machine for About 20 years and it's been flawless. My cable for the drive will did come apart but I just have to screw it back together pretty simple the way it should be

[@yodale26711]

I love you Don! You have helped me fix so many problems. You speak clearly & your explanations are in simple understandable language. Because of this I have the confidence to attempt repairs that others would say were not possible. ( especially for a girl/grandma🙃) Thank-you thank-you! And on a personal note, I do need help /therapy/guidance with my everyday challenges. Takegoodcare👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you don for taking the time posting all of these professional repairs i will be replacing my auger ball bearing friction wheel and belts drive cable on my toro power max next week. IF i did not subscribe and watch you at work i would struggle replacing these parts if you do any more on that toro post it if you can thanks again Frank Monty.

Great fix and explanation Don! Sounds like you are recovering a bit from a cold. If so, hope you are back to 100% soon. Btw, love the anti-seize too! Awesome camera work (as always!). Thanks again Don!

[@splash5974]

Great vid Donny! Straight forward explanation of the fix. Question for you... i have a Yardworks 27" blower with the 10.5hp Tecumseh motor. Its been running good, but the last few tumes i put my machine in the garage, i notice when i go out the next day, or next time to use it, i smelled gas and found a puddle on the floor under the carb...Ive been shutting off the gas the last 2 times, so as not to get the puddle, but this is a pain in the butt! It doesnt seem to effect the way it runs, but id like to fix this. Thank you and keep up the great vids!

[@billk5727]

Thanks Don! Good tip on the free play adjustments. Bill

[@zx8401ztv]

Smashing :-D, i like the use of a spring that applys the correct tension, when set. And the spring makes the adjustment less touchy. Cant beat a simple but effective system.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

Excellent video my friend. Found yo from Pappa Texas and subbed you as well. Keep up the great videos my friend.

[@shaggyda2758]

Hi Don; Great video as allways! The trouble I`m having this year {to early}, is on my Toro Power Max 8/26 the Shift knob when I move the shoot deflecter up & down,everything moves fine but the blue knob on the top is not locking it tight like it us too, its like after I move the shoot up & down or side ways I have to pull up on the blue knob?, when the machine was new it would pop-up & lock by its self. I was going to take-out the philips screw & see if the spring is weak? Is there a spring under the blue cap? I don`t want to " open a can of warms", LOL as I`ve done in the past. Thanks Don.................Maurice.R.

[@aleblanc3547]

Easy fix! Thanks, Don.

[@Budro4764]

It's always good to have a small engine shop.... You can blow Sneaux or cut grass with the other equipment that we have to test out for quality control ~!~! Plus Tard Mon Ami ..... Happy Mardi Gras from Cajun Country ~!~1

[@rk22cc]

another great video Don

[@cliffordmacdonald4748]

so easy the Toro snowthrower is more work iam sure you know that don love watching your work

[@keylargo2001]

Donny I have an old 21 inch Troy Bilt snowblower. Over the years I've never had a problem with the snowblower except for starting. Which you helped to rectify. But I've always had a problem with their cable set up. Both ends of the cable have an "S" shape bent into the cable that is either babbit or lead coated. Is there an alternitve of connecting the cables. I know it's not right. But 2 years ago I got tired of replacing them. So I just pulled all the slack I could and put a clamp on it.

[@ranveigd]

Thank you 🙂🙂

[@geojor]

always good information, thank you ...

[@cwsrad]

Good day Don. I have a Toro 1028 snowblower that is slowly leaking at the auger gearbox. Is it a big job to take it apart and replace any gaskets or seals?

[@JodiMaiers]

Because you specified - "Drive Cable", does that mean the auger cable is a different cable than the drive one? I ask because my Auger cable just broke. Wondering if this is same way to fix it?

[@Bigtwin88]

Great video..

[@tlcsnowteam]

is that same for the agar cable

[@kth6762]

What is the name of the gray solution you put on the screw, on replacement cable

[@tlcsnowteam]

Hello dan I have a toro power Max 724 Oe 37779 do you have any video on how to fix a agur cable

[@derekg8220]

Hey Dony awsome channel!! I've got a Tecumseh 10.5 hp on a snow blower with a non adjustable carb. It starts great. Idles great but when you go to throttle up if you don't go extremely slow the motor the motor with hesitate and almost stall out before it revs up. After that it runs great. Any ideas?

[@raymondcampbell2346]

You might try removing and cleaning the brass hidden fixed jet also you might need to replace the tiny o ring on it also. The jet is covered with a black plastic cap. Remove the cap with a small pick unscrew the brass jet clean it and screw it back in but just till it stops when it bottoms out. Don't crank on it or you will damage it. The tiny o ring might need a pick to get it out. Don't has a video on just the repair.

[@derekg8220]

Raymond Campbell ok great I'll give it a shot today and let u know how I make out thx Raymond

[@cgwei604]

[@rando1818]

Hi donyboy. Thanks for all of your videos. I have a Toro snowblower very similar to the one in this video. I had a new carb put on it and now I have to pull the spark plug and pour gas in the hole to get it to start. What adjustment do I need to make to the carb?Thanks for your reply. Rando

[@donyboy73]

you need to clean the carb

[@rando1818]

Thank you

[@MordusdepleinairQuebec]

Could you show us how to replace a auger pulley bearing on a older ariens snowblower?

[@dayvsea]

[@UnknownvV]
