Pro tip; high speed time lapse is your friend with these videos. Makes it way more satisfying for the viewer.
I’ll give it a shot for the next time. Thanks for the suggestion.
Ugh. I already miss mu subaru 😅
I totally understand! Some of these cabin air filters are in difficult places. I had a Jeep Grand Cherokee that you had to pull the trim off the passenger side to get to it. But most of the manufacturers say to replace them at 20,000 miles so for many people that headache happens less than once a year. Good luck with the change!
I have a 926LE at my cottage for the laneway [15 yrs old] and a 624 [20 yrs old] for my deck and a compact 24 at my home [12 yrs old] they all are awesome. I had an old 8 hp ariens [mid 70's] that I retired a few years ago [painfully] as it did a ton of work. I truly think Ariens are the best bang for the buck! I would never have another brand and at 62 years of age, will probably never have to buy another one!
They sure seem to be a good value for sure- especially when the basic maintenance is done! Thanks for watching and the comment. Be well.
you prolly could just have the ladder pretty flush to the wall and weight on the floor. i have a similar ladder. i love the project and am working on similar in my man-garage.
@@zootedpears4533 thanks for watching and commenting. I like the idea of having it on the floor. I plan on addressing that in the next iteration.
If I might...the big orange store sells shelf brackets which are around a foot. You've got the nice 3/4 wall to mount them on, might be a better, more final solution. The brackets are located by the molding and stair treads not in the actual shelving aisle. Not the little light ones either, these are a white enamel heavy bracket, not sure on the current cost, so they may no longer as viable as they once were. Good luck and have fun. =)
@@joegibbons3731 thanks so much for the idea and the comment. Part of the organization project is providing me with a way to use up some scrap wood from an ever-growing pile! :)
Apparently I did something wrong. About 5 miles into my trip the headlight caught on fire. I thought I had locked it in.
@@lauranemec2602 oh no! I hope you’re ok! It sounds like you might have had a loose connection that caused some resistance in the wiring causing it to overheat.
I would square off my pattern a little more and go faster to keep that augur fed.
Thanks for the tip! I’ll give it a try with the speed and squaring the pattern a bit more. I’ll have to look at the driveway layout a bit closer to do that. Thanks for watching and sharing from your experience.
My Ariens gets well tested here in western Canada a few times a year, I’ve owned , Toro, craftsman , and a monster big Ariens, best snow blower I’ve had, on my first run I blew the snow off 1 side of my driveway and filled the middle of the neighbors driveway, it threw the snow a long way lol.
@@martyincanuckistan3635 so nice to be able to move the snow like that! Thanks for watching and sharing. Be well.

I love that trick I’ve used it for years
@@junebugg208 Thanks for watching and the support! Be well.
Have you tried it on wet,heavy, snow?
I have used it in slushy snow. It did throw better than the old toro 824 I had, but that probably isn’t a fair comparison because I bought the toro used for $200 and it was a bit of a rust bucket (already 15 years old when I bought it). Unlike this ariens that I also bought used, but it was nearly perfect condition and only 5 years old when I got it. We are due some snow tomorrow and if it is heavy wet snow I will be sure to get a video of it for you. If the weather doesn’t produce heavy snow tomorrow the next time I get a chance I will get a video of the machine in the wet snow. Thanks for watching and asking. Have a great day!
We only got a dusting of powder this morning that I used the 4’ shovel for. Stay tuned.

Nice one, cheers
Thank you for watching. Cheers to you too.
I had that same blower for about 5 years up in Waukesha Wisconsin. I lived there 42 years and one day I said let’s move. I gave the blower to my kid in Sussex wi. And we moved toBowling green Kentucky 5 years ago.. would never go back. Enjoy the snow.
I can’t say that I will enjoy the snow forever, but I do enjoy the challenge that comes with it for the moment of life that I am in now. Thanks for watching and sharing. Be well.
I have the same blower. Absolutely love it. Great quality 👏
@@colinbarrett3016 They are nice for sure! I have had a couple toro 824’s and hadn’t had any issues with them either. The way I see it is if you take care of the equipment it will take care of you. Certainly helps to have a good piece of equipment to start with though! I’m glad you enjoy your machine! Thanks for watching and sharing. Be well and happy snowblowing!
Does the metal tab on the bulb need to be up?
@@gilbster if I remember correctly and I am thinking of the same metal tab-yes it does go vertically. If you get stuck you might try peeking through the top port on the other side. I can tell you that I when I did it there was only one way for it to go in and it did take a couple of tries. I hope that helps. If not, maybe I can do a quick video response this week. Thanks for watching and happy motoring!
@ I figured it out. It was just at an awkward angle. Thanks!
Wonderful news! Glad you were able to figure it out. They certainly are finicky.
Great tutorial! Getting the bulb aligned was a bit of a pain but I eventually got it. Lol. Thank you! ☺️
@@Slimshadylady8 happy to hear that you were able to make it work! I totally agree that bulb alignment can be tricky! Happy motoring and thanks for watching!
You said you didn’t have a replacement, but it comes with an extra plug in every filter kit. My last countryman had a stripped to and it is much more convenient to drain. It’s plastic so just don’t over tighten.
@@TonyKoppendrayer I meant about the part that the plug screws into. (The filter housing) The first time I changed the oil on my car, the one that was installed in the housing was SUPER tight and I didn’t want to chance it trying to break it free. Next time I do the change I plan on replacing the plastic housing. (Possibly overkill, but it is a cheap enough insurance policy.) Thanks for watching and for the opportunity for clarification! Happy motoring.
Here's an even better suggestion: use the 40V Ryobi leaf vacuum/mulcher blower, and avoid wasting time and energy blowing leaves all across your lawn. Having a separate blower will make the job more efficient (but add to the initial cost of setup), since converting from vacuum to blower and back is a real pain.
@@richardefriend Thank you for watching and sharing. The vacuum/blower setup is a nice idea. Depending on how many leaves I have, the garden can’t necessarily handle it all and I use a lawn vacuum for that after I move the leaves into a general area. I’ll share a video later on showing how to use the two in combination. As a side note- I ended up going with the 18v simply because the CFM for that unit was 550 and a similarly priced 40v (which I would have needed to also buy a battery and charger for) was 540 CFM. Thanks again for sharing.
Dude using a RYOBI giving leaf clean up tips 😝 get out of here
@@richardcomeau8231 thanks for watching. Run what you brought, right?While a nice new backpack blower would be nice, I find for the small property I have the small blower works well, especially because I don’t let the leaves pile up and I hit the lawn a few times each week for 10 or so minutes. Do you have any good tips and tricks to share?
I skipped the hearing protection part. I’m a very bad boy 😈😈😈
@@CodyPlays99 only get two ears in a lifetime… I’ve been there, but hearing loss is cumulative. I work with a lot of people who are older and I see how much they struggle on a daily basis just because of their hearing loss. Thanks for tuning in and for the comment! Be well.
THANK YOU! The tip to open the top hatch to see what we were doing was SUPER helpful.
@@MelodyRead I’m glad you were able to get it done! Happy motoring!
Looks easy enough. Thanks!!!
Good luck with your fix!
Just got myself a beautiful new Masport 470, Such a pleasure to use and to mow with. I'm learning what I can about mower maintenance so I can service it myself when the time comes. How do you go about cleaning/replacing the air filter if it's got one of those metal cage kinda setups surrounding it. do I need to undo the bolts first to be able to access it?
Sounds like a great machine! I made a video response to try to answer your question. I would be a little surprised if you had to remove a metal cage from in front of the air filter, because usually those are in front of the exhaust so you don’t touch a hot exhaust, but there are tons of styles out there! Before removing bolts, I would check out the video I linked below so you can be sure that’s where your air filter is located. I hope the video helps! And happy mowing! ua-cam.com/video/hqzfoN1Vekg/v-deo.htmlsi=xm7ABF6-0tXYOIjO
@@greenhorntenderfoot9261 Upon further investigation i actually realized yes the metal cage is in fact the exhaust not the air filter. it's on the opposite side of the engine and is very easy to remove.
@@FoxHound-ch1yy glad you were able to get to the bottom of it! Good luck with your new machine!
@@greenhorntenderfoot9261 Thanks =)
Thank you it worked
@@keving4758 glad to hear! Happy mowing!
Thanks sm for this video, been looking everywhere for it
Happy to help! Hope it turns out well for you!
@@greenhorntenderfoot9261 it sure did, thanks again!
I see what you're trying to do... How about an Octane Booster?
@@123antknee From what I understand, most octane boosters are not as effective as the base gasoline they are designed to be added to. From what I’ve seen, many of the boosters cost anything from $4.00 per bottle on the low end to 35.00 on the higher end of things. Usually they only treat between 10-20 gallons for a bottle. Additionally, many manufacturers claim they increase the octane by points, which is different than what the (r+m)/2 method calculates it at. It is difficult to determine the exact amount of additive needed to increase from 87 or 89 to 91+ with many of the octane boosters boasting increases of 7 points, roughly equating to an increase of 0.7 on the (r+m)/2 scale. Thanks for sharing and watching.
this is retarbed. 93 is better than 91 if your engine needs 91 minimum
www.caranddriver.com/features/a28565486/honda-cr-v-vs-bmw-m5-ford-f-150-dodge-charger/# “although in the case of these two premium fuels, if you're forced to use 91 octane, you're hardly missing out.” Thanks for watching.
That assumes the car can take advantage of 93. Yeah it probably could, but usually the wording is premium recommended and if you dig into the owner's manual it may say 91 octane or higher. But that doesn't mean it can automatically take advantage of like 97 octane
if your car is asking 91, its unlikely that its designed to take advantage of the extra octane you get if you go full 93. higher does not necessarily mean better.
It can’t hurt you engine by running 93. Personal preference I guess but I would rather run 93 than 91
@@TurquoiseTurkey I agree. Couldn’t hurt using it. Thanks for watching.
If you clean the carburetor it will run a lot better and will be a lot easier to pull start too. all you need is a 7mm,8mm T20 torx bit
I work on mowers all the time but I have this specific one I have gone thru the carb multiple times. It won’t run unless i prime it first similar to how he does it
Mine siphons the water out of the toilet, not dry, but lowers it significantly. How do I stop it?
Sometimes it is due to a blockage in the line or the vent. You might need to have the drain snaked out or the vent stack cleared.
What brand of faucet is this??
This is a Moen. I have a different style that I will be posting a video on soon.
It’s a Moen. I will be posting a video soon showing a different style.
Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out how to replace the cartridge on this exact model
"NOT A LOT!" *proceeds to put a lot
Love those containers. Not a lot actually made it in. Lol
@@greenhorntenderfoot9261 dip a straw into the fuel and cap it with your finger. transfer that bit of gas into the choke keeping your finger on the straw end as to not release the suction and spill the gas. after dripping it down the carb like you did you can even blow into the straw causing some atomization. little to no spillage!
Thanks for the tip! Great idea!
Starting fluid or propane works as well
I never tried it with the propane before although I have seen people run their small engines on it. Thanks for watching.
@@greenhorntenderfoot9261 had a neighbor show me propane several years ago. It's easier on the engine than starting fluid. I just used a propane torch I got at Walmart. Just turn the gas on, stick the torch nozzle in the carb or air cleaner box and start the mower. It is easier if you have a 2nd pair of hands to help hold the bottle while someone pull starts the mower
@@simpleman806 totally makes sense. I will keep that in mind! I usually have that propane torch kicking around for small plumbing projects.
meravigliosi Pink Floyd ❤
Thank you!!! That’s happening to mine now. I was so scared
Sure thing! Glad to help!
terrible
Does anyone manufacture any sort of shroud for the roof vent that would disrupt the air flow and stop this from happening? In extreme cases it can cause most of the water to be vacuumed out of the toilet.
Not that I’m aware of! Neat idea though!
Thanks I was worried
I literally just walked in my bathroom to take a leak, lifted the toiled lid and it looked like a ocean in my toilet boil. My heart sank because I automatically thought oh crap something is wrong with the brand new $5000 septic system we just had put into our first home we just purchased a few months ago. So off to you tube I went in search of the answer. Thank goodness for this video because I would have been calling a plumber now my mind is at ease with the exception of the pine trees that are swaying above our house in the 40mph wind right now! But know it’s 2 days later the wind isn’t blowing, the water is still moving up and down and now I here a gurgling noise.
How did I get here?
Thanks! This happened here two nights ago and kinda freaked me out. I figured this was what was going on, but I'm glad you confirmed it for me
Put a 90deg elbow on the vent stack
I've never seen this done in my area before. What would you do this for? If it is to try to avoid the "slosh" I don't know if that would work except for 3 directions of the wind. A better solution might be a tesla valve, but seems a little extravagant.
It’s good idea, thank you for sharing!
So is the fat gonna melt off when I cook it. Or do I need to hunt down all the pieces of fat in order to keep it lean. It takes me forever to prepare my chicken. This makes it look way easier.
I work with Pumpkin a lot. They will last upto 6 months if you wash them with bleach to stop bacteria. Spraying them seems a bit pointless
