You probably did that already but you could have had somebody turn that down .015 or .020 to clean it up to a smooth cylinder and then make a bronze sleeve and put over it and turn that back to the correct OD and set the clearance for the ID of your new bushings!
@davidbrennan510 ай бұрын
I flip blowers a lot and I look for nice clean ones in the summer, you get them dirt cheap and then maybe put 100-200 into them max and flip them in the fall/winter. Belts and carb kit are usually a given, if the friction disc is bad I usually pass on them. It is common to find them with bad auger shaft bearings and seized wheels/axles. That blower would sell for around $400 in my area all fixed up like that. When I fix up a decent blower in mint condition they can sell for around $800-$1000. I prefer working on the older ones because I can get parts easier and I have a lot of good used parts for them sitting around. Don't overpay for something that needs work!

I used to work on vintage railroad equipment for a living. Building up worn parts with weld and machining them back to tolerance was an every day occurrence. You're not going to find parts for a 1915 steam engine on the shelf. Really gives you a sense of pride in a job well done instead of just replacing parts.

If I owned this machine, I'd gladly put the $300 in parts into it, and also gain even more solid knowledge of how it works. That is, essentially, a new snowblower now. It should last at least as long as it already has. I priced new snow blowers of that size, during this video, and found the cheapest one was about $500. I'd rather spend the $300, and have a machine which has already proven it can last over thirty years. In fact, while ordering parts, I might even buy extras of a few, like the bushings. Like you always say... They don't make 'em like they used to.

I have a 1999 Craftsman 28" 9hp track model bought new. The keys to keeping the running gear on these things in good shape is oil and grease, before every snow season, I use low temp snowmobile grease Tip it up on its face, remove the bottom cover and oil all shaft bushings inside and out. Grease the shafts, gears and chains, check that all parts move easily and smoothly. Rubber cleaner on the driven rubber disk, and clean the engine drive plate with brake cleaner. Tip it up on the sides and drop oil into the auger shaft side bearings. Make sure the tank and carb are completely cleared of all gas before storage. And above all, keep it in a shed or garage protected from the daily elements. Other than the little rubber bumper under the right handle that keeps breaking every few years for some reason, and one auger shear bolt after hitting a rock, so far, not a single repair or replacement of anything else, including belts.

Well, that was lots of fun watching you spend all that money! It’s so much better when it’s somebody else’s money! The one thing that I’ve seen people doing is putting these rubber strips on the impeller to get a tighter fit. Supposedly makes one heckuva difference in wet snow. The biggest thing I found in these old blowers is the impeller shaft bearing on the back of the housing gets worn out and tired. Then it’s hard to get the belt tight and power is reduced to the impeller. Probably only a $10 part but it’s a pain to install. You can test bearing by pulling the pulley straight up, should very little slop here as it’s a ball bearing. It will likely be eating belts too!

Not too many years ago I had a frequent customer that tried to service his machine just like that and had that same issue taking the drive out of the machine at his place. He was about down to tears crying in his garage. The next thing that happened is I horrified the hell out of him when I took my angle grinder to it and cut that center support out which now and forever more makes servicing that drive system a breeze. I welded two 90 degree pieces of metal to the ends so it would bolt back into the machine. This time the old timer customer was nothing but tickled to part with the $200 and by the time the storm ended 2 days later with like 30 inches of snow well he's been a bit more relaxed around me these days.. Most of later model MTD machines have actual bearings in there as well. Somewhere I have the boxes with thee part numbers on em

I can completely understand what you’re saying about repair cost on this machine sir, HOWEVER, from spending several yrs in my younger days , working in a friends repair shop , we all know of coarse, that mtd, and any similar company has always been cheap junk in comparison to a lot of others , but still, IF I WERE in the market for a snowblower, I’d personally be more interested in this one, at least around the amount you’ve put into it , than anything they offer today new. They’re still way more pricey , looks to me like , and built so cheap , you’re lucky to see a couple yrs of use before they fall apart ! after the new tires , and all other parts to repair it right , as you did, then you could also at least think it will last several years again ! And possibly it would take the right person , to realize your cost in this one , is a much better option , than paying the price tag of a compatible new one . But thanks for the work you do to make decent and honest content for people !

If I had a machine that needed repairs such as this there would be some modifications and upgrades made that would prevent wear like this in the future (grease fittings, bearings instead of bushings, stainless steel shafts, etc). And finally, where are you going to get a new snowblower that will last as long for $300-$500 anyway? I have my inlaw's snowblower I don't care what it takes either I will have parts machined at work or come up with something to make it better and repair it.

Great video. You definitely could use a lathe. It doesn't need to be too big.
