YardWorks Snowblower, Finishing the Chassis

[@MrGoosePit]

Nice job on the skid modification Bruce. That should help running over gravel. Happy to see you at work!

[@bruceseverson6622]

Thanks for the idea. I have a gravel driveway too. 😃

[@BrucesShop]

Gravel drives are tough on machines.

Nice job Bruce. I find I don't weld enough these days to stay proficient but can usually be laying some presentable beads by the time the project is finished. Your widened shoes turned out great. Now I feel guilty and need to change the oil and fill the tires in my neglected old snow blower. Every year I neglect it and it's never let me down once in about 14 years. I should do better by it, I owe it. Thanks for the video and take care

Nice job Mr Bruce. 👍🏼🙂

Well thanks so much Sir. John

Morning Bruce I need a "Rainblower" on the WestCoast of BC !

@robertblacksmith4355 Scotland has been in need of one for a week! Half the time it’s not even rain it’s just wet air 😂👍

Nice job Bruce. I used to weld off camera too but with an older Sony camcorder I have been getting careless about that the last year or two and been getting away with it, no problems yet with the camera. Last video I did just a couple days ago was on a welder review that was sent to me and I welded about 3 or 4 feet away, even zoomed in a little and didn't hurt the camera. I'm seriously planning to rig an auto darkening hood to a camera mount soon because I do welding videos frequently.

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

Thanks for the upload Bruce I was bored shitless there trying to find something to watch, you know I’m in Scotland I’ve never been up close with a snowblower so I now know they’ve got skids 👍. Big machine that, good job they’re sturdy enough, love the welding accessory box I’ve been trying to organise stuff like that for years, maybe one day lol 👍

[@BrucesShop]

Right. That box has evolved over time.

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Hello brother Bruce 😊 some fantastic repairs buddy 👏 that is never going to break 😀 👍🏻 and thanks for the tips.

[@BrucesShop]

AC welding is another animal. Yes I did this one in August. 90 degrees F. Ouch

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

​@BrucesShop 😂😂😂 I like A/C thanks buddy 👍🏻

Morning Bruce, excellent.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks

[@mikehrdlicka8635]

To me it looks like a mtd built machine if so the scraper curves up onto side. I would put skids on back holes to sturdy it up more. Those buckets are not real strong. Paint stick under scraper good spacing. I also do skid repair. Good video

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks. If I put them much further back I ran into another bolt. Hard to describe.

[@KensSmallEngineRepair]

I need to practice my welding, I suck! Good work Bruce!

[@BrucesShop]

Well I need practice. It seems like I just get back to where I left on on the welding quality thing.

[@len4338]

Nice weld and fabrication on the snow skids. I recently replaced mine with the polymer type because the steel ones wore down and I don't weld,,,,,, yet. I still have time to learn. Lol

[@mikeyyoyo6464]

@len4338 horizontal welding is easy as long as you don’t need a perfect finish, it’s when it gets vertical or heaven forbid overhead that it grows arms and legs , buy a cheapo and fart about you’ll love it lol 👍

[@BrucesShop]

Yes They wear out quick!!!

[@stevoj8959]

The wider pads are definitely the way to go. Nice you get to do something different. Nice job Bruce. Stevo

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks a lot Stevo

[@robertmailhos8159]

It won't be long until Bruce goes to Mexico for the winter break

[@BrucesShop]

I hope

[@robertmailhos8159]

@BrucesShop yeah buddy 😎😎

[@chrisssmallengines7163]

With the front augers , I oil these with out the pins to keep them spinning loose on the shaft if there is no grease nipple .

[@knighthawk86855]

Have you tried ATF automatic transmission fluid in a leaking tire, I know it doesn't work on a tire with a hole in it from like a nail, but it does work well with a dry rotted tire, or a bead leaker?

[@BrucesShop]

Yes. But not a snowblower. I put some in my lawn tractor and when I turned firmly, I rolled out of the tire and rim. So now I have a slime bottle with half full of trans fluid. Thanks. I may try again.

[@batwithglasses]

Hey Bruce, Welding arcs don't transfer through camera lenses to tv..So although bright to the viewer, There is no harm to them watching it on tv...In person is another matter.

[@BrucesShop]

Thanks. Well I have wondered about that. Thanks. BYW I mostly do AC welding. I just do
