John Deere 1028E, Electric Chute won't work. Let's Fix It.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice job Craig performing a very thorough job and have the blower ready for the next blizzard

[@CraigArndt]

Haha, I still laugh at your comment during that blizzard... "is there no end to the madness"! Haha my wife and I got a chuckle out of that. Yes this can go home to my buddy, course he needs sunscreen now.. all our snow melted!

[@curtissarvas6254]

I've been chasing this same issue for awhile. Same grounded hot wire. Never noticed it, thanks!

[@CraigArndt]

Glad this video helped you out, thanks a lot for checking it out.

[@Mike-ig2zq]

Another great video Craig. Really enjoy the electrical diagnostics. Thanks !

[@CraigArndt]

Glad you like them!

[@NormanMcGregor]

I hate when my "Chute won't work"! LOL!!! Nice repair Craig!!

[@micahmalloy]

“Parts Cannon” love it! Nice job.

[@curtisdahl3249]

I have the same blower same problem the shoot, I will troubleshoot as you did and I’ll follow up after I have done the inspection. Thanks

[@CraigArndt]

Definitely look at the wires underneath. This was my buddies blower. Not long after I fixed it the chute motor seized, water got in it. But first issue was those chaffed wires.

Hey Brother...your Bills are moving to the next round !!! Congrats

[@CraigArndt]

THANKS Nick, I aged ten years today! They have to play better than that. Have a good week bud.

@@CraigArndt You too !

[@kevinferger9897]

It's amazing the options they have on a snowblower . I have my old craftsman blower in lancaster ny that I use maybe 3 times a year. Too turn a crank to position my chute is so easy. Maybe they'll have air conditioning next. Ha ha!

[@CraigArndt]

LOL, these new blowers have a lot of gadgets. I think they need a battery on these things or a regulator or rectifier/diode. I had it running and was getting almost 18 volts at the lights. Probably why they burn out.. Thanks for checking it out!

[@johnbbrose486]

could someone tell me the part number for the chute motor or a universal replacement for the motor? The previous owner of my blower had the motor fail and threw away the original motor. I also need to know what gear or gears I need to connect motor to the chute assymbly.

[@CraigArndt]

Did you watch the video? You could pause around 1:36 and catch a glimpse of the number.

[@johnbbrose486]

@@CraigArndt I did see that number, didn't see anything on the gear/sprocket that connects motor to chute

[@williamalbright8878]

Very nice work, but I like my hand crank sir.

[@CraigArndt]

Me too! I’m old school.

[@not2fast4u2c]

Just like a newer car They add all this electrical automatic assisted DO DADS which is nice till it breaks🤓

[@CraigArndt]

It's all fun until a mouse or a sharp edge cuts into a wire.. then you lose the chute, heat and lights. Haha, I'm old school! Hand Cranks and thick gloves!

Let's go Mountaineers

[@CraigArndt]

I've probably said it before, but my daughter is a Mountaineer, going back tomorrow :-( from winter break. But she loves it there in Morgantown.
