Eric Ya got me! 🤣🤣 We have no snow blowers in these parts! BTW if you dropped that thing just call “snow blower gravity” and all is well
You’ve made it to the big leagues. You got a shout out from the legend Mr O
Derek Bieri: Here, hold my cold-snack.
Ray, also enjoy your channel!
You just like Eric O can make mondaine brake jobs entertaining! LoL 😆😆😂
Eric: (shows off by working on non-auto object)
Ray: (works on 20-year-old car with zero rust)
Eric: (weeps)
Lol
When the cable breaks you buy a new snowblower and leave this one on the curb for Mustie1. The circle of life.
Or Diesel Creek
😂🤣 #truth "can it be saved?"
@@SouthMainAuto Some folks are pure consumers with zero common sense in $10 to get it back into operation.
That’s absolutely hilarious!!!
@@Garth2011 the dumbing down of America. Go view some videos from third-world countries and see how they rebuild starters and alternators, and complete engines with just the most basic tools. No CNC computer controlled machines.
The best part of the video, no Napa parts. Wait I can't fall asleep without knowing the size of that BIG engine
212cc or about 6.5 hrsprs

I think you gave Mrs O the heavy end.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are witnessing the birth of South Main Snowblower Repair LLC!
And with that comes lawn mowers, chainsaws and whatnot... 😁
The fact that you will do things like this for your customers speaks volumes about you and Mrs O.
Couldn't agree more !
I was impressed when he said she a long time customer he works on her Mustang! What this tells me is the customer believes that Eric can fix any mechanical problems she may have.
@@alanh1508 Well, she may or may not have mechanical problems, but he can sure fix a snowblower:)
omg I can't believe this guy doesn't have like 5 mil subscribers.
if I had to pick one human on the planet to work on my car it would be this man.
Finally! SMA is working on the big horse power machines
It’s got the big point 2!
@@KXKKX 🤣
I love you and Ray ribbing on each other.
Some months ago I Started watching SMAs videos from 6 years ago.. and today I cought up to the last episode! Thanks for creating the best channel on youtube! 👍🙂👍
The ray reference was funny, “bet rainman ray has never fixed a snowblower”, ROFL.
He may have as he has said in a video too long ago that he has been in Michigan if I recall, but up that way so has worked on the rusty vehicles in his day. He just now lives in FL.
Mrs. O is the smokeshow every dude needs in his life
Why did the snowman have a smile on his face? He saw the snow blower was coming down the street! ⛄️
The local mechanic would litteraly laugh at my face if I ever brought hm a snowblower or a lawn mower. It's nice to know you have someone who can help you out. Great job Mr.O!
Nobody mention that he gave Mrs. O the heavy side :)
Yes, 2 people before you & 13 total so far
True gentleman Eric ;) Gave Mrs O the 'heavy' end to lift down, while you used science and the leverage of the handle ;) :)
The Rainman getting a shout out from the legendary Eric O. Ray is hitting the big league. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congrats Ray.
In honor of Ray... "Click." :) Just recently discovered his videos. Big difference in the amount of rust, he runs into.
Rain Man Ray is the man and so are you Mr O yall have good content thanks for that I learn alot from both of yall. I worked on cars all my life my dad was the teacher and lost him butt I carrie on.
I'm commenting because it helps the algorithm send this to more potential viewers.
Finally, Eric does a video on something I actually own! I have a 621E and I have been through the wars with that one. Cross-threaded the plug in the al-you-minnie-um block once and had rethread using a bottom tap, rebuilt the carb 2 1/2 times, etc. I've had that thing in a hundred pieces all spread out on the garage floor more than once.
I have a Qvantum Broke-n-smitten 6.5hp Dyhydrogen-monoxide-flow restrictor
Pressure washer
I mean
And the got dang ol coil done broke at the end of the spark wire.
I shoulda known it wouldnt run again cuz I wanted to abate some rust, painted er up real nice and dark red
But that coil sparks just good enough to show a spark in a tester or when plug out of engine, doesnt have the Cojones to endure actual runtime.
So she is pretty, and now useless until I can have cash for the 50 dolla dingus end
Not gonma lie, I'm thinking of adding a crank trigger(cuz I have a spare from my truck) and making the thing 12v, button start, digital ignition(cuz I'll be damned if 4 weekends of mentally challenged effort will ever be allowed to kick my mechanical abilities again)
And maybe a tractor pull style custom straight pipe exhaust. Perhaps add some flames to the base dark red paint job.
Anyway, how do you rebuild a carb 2.5 times? Was kne half time a "fuckit bucket" career ending failure for the carb?
........because I am wallowing deeply in the *I swear I know how this crap works...why doesn't it do the do...*
For Rainman ray:
I did properly set up my mechanical gods shrine, lighting the ceremonial ether and premium fuel aromatic lamp. Provided the related sacrifices of a new spark plug and a full re-gap of the coil and spark plug.
As well as facing the pull start 3 times daily and praying the mechanic soothing prayer:
Yafuggin piece a crap
I know you ran when last used
With the present problem
I beseech thee, startyabastard
I'll fight adversity with violence
Malicious dis-assembly and a prolonged healing bench stay
Else you hear me, oh gods of painful failures
*sorta sing song this part*
I swear im not lying
I'll keep ya as a pile of parts
Dont test me ya piece of fail
I'm not against removing your oil and running ya hot
So work with me, oh gods of threads and broken tap removals
I'll fight ya, but id have figured you'd be happy for some maintenance
-Angry guy fixing a non broke thing
And I know I broke the cardinal rule
Dont fix it TILL its broke, oh no...
Fix it WHEN it breaks.
Brethren, hearmenow, learn this lesson well. For I have sinned
And the mechanical gods have brought their wrath upon me
My pressure washer is neither a washer or a engine. More like a funny as hell useless handtruck. Will sorta run but immediately have too little spark to stay running.
Heed my warning, aid my adversity by praying I didnt start the maintenace to break the thing
I wanted to show care and compassion for the gears so often ground
As I stumble, at idle, the fellow mechanical wizards lift us all.
May your threads be clean and your bearings smooth.
My turmoil shall continue until payday reloads the parts cannon.
Then you lost that 1 bolt....
@@ericspecullaas2841 or the Jesus clip.
I maintain faith, the bolt/screw/clip etc will return as soon as the job is complete and confirmed back in service.
As is tradtition.
Take it to where Mustie1 lives, put it in front of his house with a “Free!” sign on it. Ring his doorbell and run away. He’ll have a video up soon of the repair. Lol.
If I touch one of those or any small engine.. it will never run again !
South Main Auto and Snowblower service! You'll never have a slow day again! Hopefully, the big snow is done for us for this year.
-Mike in Buffalo.
Anyone else was waiting for a proper application of fluid film? It may help it last till next season. Im glad Mr. O was able to help out. Today it is more likely someone would have trashed it
That was refreshing, not one module in sight! Mr. O even makes a snowblower interesting while Mrs. O does all the heavy work.
Hell, that repair is better than what came out of the factory!😄😅😂
Rainman ray is going to have a kanipchin ... I love it
I think taryl would approve of this fix Eric.
No nonsense knowhow and s m a are the best..no one else even comes close to these to channels..
There's a million snow blower repair videos on UA-cam but none will include a appearance from the lovely and strong Mrs. O.
"If I can do it, you can do it. " I'm looking forward to replacing the impeller on my twenty-year-old two stage unit. If it makes it through to April, I'm golden.
I always like it when Mustie1 puts out a new vid :)
I Love it when I have my headphones on and you whisper in my ear.... No one can hear you but me...
Careful throwing shade on Ray when you are in prime location for snowblower gravity! Lol
Not in this economy will it even be close to a new one.
I love how you reference Ray and he references you. Really enjoyed the off piste vlog Mr O.
Oh man! An SMA and a neutral drop video on the same day! Pinch Me! That PT cruiser today would have been a great derby car for you!
What neutral drop video
@@adventureoflinkmk2 just posted it today. Something like “some people don’t deserve nice cars” they did some hillbilly nitrous with a 2.4 PT cruiser turbo
It never ceases to amaze me when you different car repair guys refer to each other and even post comments on one another's videos. What, are you guys trying to pick up some new ideas by watching each other's videos? I know Watch Wes Work has used a few ideas from your videos in his, but I don't recall anyone else using the tag line "not a sponsor."
Oh boy now you started something. Come spring the parking lot will be full with garden tillers and lawn mowers. 🤣🤣
Finally, after all these years! Yes Mr. O, regarding THAT repair, if you could do it, I could do it.
The timing of that broken cable was fortunate for that lady. If she had kept running it with no oil she would have had a much more expensive repair. I am amazed the engine started on the first pull after being run with a teacup of unchanged oil.
Usually those small engines have a cut out if the oil gets too low.. Maybe not this model lol
@@brettwalkom948 Usually only generators have the low oil cutoff protection setup since they run unattended for hours at a time.
@@robc8468 my compressor has one
Happened to me on my first of the season use on my 34" troy bilt 4 years ago. . Comedy of low oil and throttle stuck open and would not shut off till it blew a hole in the side of the block. Quick picked up a nice used Ariens on Craig's and am waiting to put a new engine back in the Troy. The troy is still my fav.
Very cool shout out to Rainman Ray. You and him are exceptional mechanics.
SMA is a full service shop! Well done Mr. O!
mrs O also played a vital role. don't forget her.
Wonder how Winny is doing. He fixed his wheelchair once. He used to drive by his shop for a chat.
Eric fixing snow blowers while Rainman Ray is shoveling sunshine.
Imagine my surprise when our 6 year old Toro 721E clutch cable broke while clearing 22 inches of snow in South Jordan, Utah and Eric at SMA was the first site my internet search opened. I’ve watched your car repairs for years, thanks for your long distance help getting me back up and blowing snow!
The way I decided on a place to retire. I strapped a snow shovel on the roof of my Suburban and drove south till someone asked " What is that? " Then drove another 100 miles south...:) Turns out I went 50 miles farther South than Rainman.
Gotta love the Amazon! Best to you and Mrs. O !!
Watching you chase the dang thing across the floor...Priceless LOL Good job Mr and Mrs O from another small town guy
Hello Mrs O ! Always a pleasure to see you !
What a guy! No really you did a nice thing for grandma
Great job Eric, Very nice of you to helping this customer out. Even ordering the the part
“I’ll bet rainman ray never worked on a snow blower”…. I laughed so hard. Thank you!
Always nice to see Mrs. O.
Your wife must be a saint? Your sense of humor keeps the shop arolln'
You are a good man to take care of your community!
This vid has "'BLOWN" everyone away!!!
Nice changeup, Eric. Right over the plate!
Got to say the last thing I thought I'd be watching when I clicked on South main Auto was fixing a snowblower, now that's my kind of shop take care of your customers
Have to fix my snowblower this morning and using this video.
-- By far your most complex, elaborate, and heroic repair thus far. A great victory ... worthy of story ... and song. Thumbs up :)
Very accommodating service for your customers !
This is why I enjoy Watch Wes Work, the occasional random repair. Very entertaining here too.
I've been looking for a snowblower repair channel for YEARS on youtube. Glad I finally found one!
Short & sweet. as you say easy peasy. Thanks for sharing.
Nice video it’s always good to switch it up.. Thank you for all the videos u do..
Eric you are so nice! You come to the rescue when a customer needs your help. You are so funny and I love your whole family. I enjoy all of your adventures and you and your sense of humor is awesome with your whole family. :-)
Worked on loads of these back when I worked in the shop. Always good to see when someone else confirms the way you did stuff was correct 😅
Thanks for helping Memaw!
Great video! Loved the testing phase, and the torque wrench.
Eric, always learning something from your channel. You have a great teaching style!
You are a good man, Eric!
South Main Auto and Snowblower Repair Shop! Well done!
Nice job Eric! So glad I moved out of the snow belt.
Love how you do jobs like this for people. You're a good guy Mr O
It's like you knew I just broke that cable on mine... Thanks for saving me some time in figuring it out on my own!
I live in Las Vegas and never had a use for a snow blower so its interesting to watch you repair one. Thanks for doing something different in your shop.
A man of many talents.
a nice change of pace working on a snow blower!
Hi Eric. That heavy duty diesel experience in your past is now paying off! Always great videos, but especially so when Mrs. O. puts in a welcome appearance.
Friend has a 2 cycle Toro snow blower. Toasted the engine (he didn't understand that 2 cycle engines don't thrive on pure gas). He was going to pay big bucks for a new blower. Rebuild the unit for him with a short block, new rubbers, and scrapper for a fraction of the cost of a new unit. Since he got 2 cycle religion, the unit runs strong.
Well that was fun and Mrs O is as handy as a pocket. Well done!
Great video. No expensive scan tool needed!!
It's always great to help out someone in need. I would have also checked the valve clearance, as this thing looks like nothing has ever been done to it.
Eric that's the first thing I've seen you
work on in a while that wasn't rusted
out!! LOL!!! Great Job!!!!!!
Good job, cleanest used snow blower i have ever seen.
I had the same snowblower when I lived in Northern Illinois. Literally beat the crap out of it and it kept going. Moved to the south west and don't miss the snow blowing back in my face.
I just bought that exact model snowblower in November for its simplicity , Good to see how to fix the auger power cable when it inevitably breaks, great video
I remember Primitive Pete from auto shop class in 1974, I haven’t thought about him in forever.
Before you even mentioned Ray I was thinking he doesn’t give service like that. Nice job Eric, Mrs O is such a gracious assistant.
Love the Rainman shout out!
Eric, you truly are an honest to goodness mechanic.
Going above and beyond to keep your customers safe and happy.
I enjoy watching every one of your videos.
You don’t sweat the small stuff and always get the job done the right way.
Watching you reroute that belt reminded me of being in elementary school because I was the A/V (audio/visual) technician in grade 3 and 4 winding the old film projectors up for the teacher. Lol!!!
Rainman isn’t even close to being in your league. Lol!
Yea I'll watch anything you put out! Thanks for the laughs sir
True mechanic Eric O can fix a majority of things if not everything with an engine on it. While making an entraining video at the same time! Good video!
great customer service again
Nice job Eric! I wouldn't Rainman Ray has ever even seen a snow blower. Lol
Finally, something that doesn't require a scan tool! That was fun. Thanks for Sharing!
Well done Eric
always fun to watch ,just did my snowblower overhaul last year first time since i bought it 5 years ago lol at least i added oil
ERIC YOUR THE MAN WITH A GOLDEN TOUCH
I believe Ray is getting some of the rusty junk from New York down there. Been watching for about a year and in the last couple of months he's used a lot of spray lube and even anti seize. It's fun to watch, you need to give him some tips to battle rust. 😁
Love it. If it ever snows in Phoenix, I'll know how to fix my snow blower. Love every vidja sir!
That Eric O. what a genuine guy. Helping out the little old ladies.
True but did you see how he gave Mrs. O the heavy end?
@@rmr5740 Yea but I betcha he'll be expecting some home made pie or something. You know these You Tuber stars ,they're expensive
@@MrTonyPiscatelle PIE, YOU SAY ?
@@NoWr2Run Or yankee cobler lol
That's what little ole men do.
This was a fun one to see, Mr. O. I like how you torqued the side cover bolts to spec. The post-repair test drive, and cloud of dust you were kicking up, reminded me of "Caddyshack", when Carl Spackler cleaned up his place with the leaf blower. And doing non-automotive work reminds me of Ivan's mini-series of JLG boom lifts, working on very derelict units, that seemed to be maintained on the "run to fail" approach.
Eric o you have taught me so much thank you
