I Broke My Ventrac Snowblower! Fixed and Going Through 3 Foot Snowbanks!

[@PastorDavidFranklin]

Nice job. Was nice to see a bit of the snowblower belt replacement. Neighbors are fortunate to have such a hard working, service oriented, enthusiastic, caring person like you living there.

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

Thanks! I like to be the neighbor that the other neighbors love having around!

[@jefffrei1167]

Nicely stated, David. I'd say the same!

[@jefffrei1167]

I cannot get over what mishaps that snowblower can take...always surviving virtually unscathed! The impeller shaft bearings; the cast iron pulleys-- wow! It's so good to see Ventrac marching to their own drum...not dumbing down on quality and engineering to compete on a low cost strategy [instead]. Refreshing! I hope they never let go of that!!

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

Let's hope that never happens

I wish you would have shown the way you got that belt on the polly. I broke mine too.

I have several KX523 maintenance videos

All ways a good time watching mishaps makes me feel better knowing am not the only one having problems and then working tell way later then had hoped for Let’s hope for some sun shine and warmer temps Thanks for the video that is work on it’s own

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I break stuff and once in a while I get it on video :) I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!

[@bradendavis4]

Are these clients or u helping neighbors? Awesome video! I love my ventrac, debating on a blower we don't get tons of big storms, lots of 2 inchers!

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

These are my neighbors. I don't ask for any money but I will accept donations for the work. I've gotten everything from nothing to $100. I'm just glad to be helping out and keeping the machine running from time to time over the winter. I was using these machines for our farm estate in Northern Maine before moving to SE Pennsylvania a few years back

[@johnevans6053]

I would like to see a video on how you are going to take the bend out of the impeller blade. And, are all of the belts on Ventrac's standard sizes that can be bought at any NAPA store?

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I don't see a need to bend it back. It's not causing any problems. As far as the belts, all of the belts used on Ventrac equipment have a standard designation. The belt I broke was a BX55.

[@Mbolich52]

Do you feel like you're back in Maine yet?

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

I really do miss it but it's great to be near family again

[@paultribbett7765]

you're vids are too long

[@bluecordprecisiongrading2504]

Paul, thank you for your input. The irony here is that many of our followers have told us that our videos aren't LONG enough, there's just so much to cover on a job or during maintenance that I edit out. As I've told every one of my soldiers years ago, if you identify something as a problem, present a solution, otherwise you're just complaining. What, in your opinion, is the optimal length for a video. What parts of the video would you cut out to make it shorter and more to your liking?
