Nice blower and also nice job on the service. Those Briggs engines are really easy to start and seem to run pretty smooth. I’m a bit partial to the 8 hp tecumseh flat heads though. Nothing wrong with getting enjoyment blowing snow. I’d probably do it for free at some level but people actually pay me 😂 keep up the good work !
Toro's use a grade 5 bolt instead of auger shear pins. Their reasoning is that the gear/casing is tough enough that the motor will stall out if anything gets lodged inside. Take the opportunity to spray some penetrating lubricant or anti-seize into the auger shaft and give it a few rotations. There aren't any grease zerks to easily lube them. Apply some anti-seize to the shear pins/bolts for easier future removal. Also, inspect the drive and auger belts when you get a chance. I have the exact same blower since 2011. With regular maintenance and care. This machine should last close to a lifetime. Cheers!
I would never replace with a grade 5 bolt. My neighbour’s shear pin didn’t break, and it ruined the gear case, and it was so expensive, to fix. Without a shear pin, to replace, maybe grade 2 at the most, would be a better idea.
😅 too hard you’re on professional you should be a little bit more with your game. Try harder next time you’ll have it like a champ hasta la vista slow poke.
Thank you for posting this informative video🤠👍👌👊
