Very informative videos! I've watched several in the past few days. I ordered all the parts necessary to do a complete overhaul of my Toro snowblower once spring arrives here in NJ. It's actually in very good condition but I want to keep it that way. Thanks for taking the time to post your videos.
Awesome video and it's part of my annual greasing regiment, I also put red grease on my metal gear too my snowblower is 26 years old. I believe that nothing has ever broken or wore out from being greased and or oiled. I do my own maintenance on all of my power equipment I need them to preform at there best at all times. Thanks again for your experience and sharing your knowledge.
I bought a used Craftsman 5/22 snowblower. I am doing a lot of maintenance and adjustments on it. Today I decided to check the lubrication of the drive axles. I thank whoever owned the snowblower before me: the wheels came of easily the axles had previously been lubricated! I lucked out!
Excellent video, going to check my son’s Toro 924 PowerShift snowblower. Appreciate the great quality of lighting, video quality and your detailed experienced explanations. Subscribed.
Fantastic good video, a little bit of kubrication on wheel axle, WHEN THE SNOWBLOWER KS NEW,, that snowblower will run for a life time, good old with solid Steel plates
Are usually on those drive axles I use to use grease and I use it every year I’ve only skipped it once and I still was able to get it off but still it’s good idea to use any series
Hi there, thank you so much for your videos! I was wondering if you could answer a question about the PERMATEX. I noticed that you were using the "NICKEL" PERMATEX. What is the difference between say the NICKEL, the SILVER or just the regular PERMATEX??? I was going to use the Silver Grade PERMATEX but noticed that you mentioned the NICKEL PERMATEX many times. Is the NICKEL better for colder winters? Just not sure which one is the best to use. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you
I read the PERMATEX data sheet for their Nickel Anti-Seize product when I was trying to decide what kind of anti-seize would be best for my snowblower. The data sheet says this product handles more extreme temperatures than the other ones in their anti-seize series, -54°C to 1316°C. That’s 65° below zero in Fahrenheit degrees. Only the minimum temperature matters for a snowblower. This property makes the product rather expensive but your snowblower should be fine anywhere except Antarctica.
Would your viper heat induction tool loosen that rear drive axel? I understand it can be tough to aim a torch in tight spaces. I hate to loose or increase the cost when trying to accomplish a task!!! Thanks.
Yes, and in theory it would work to heat up the inside while the wheel is seized to the axle using the bearing buddy coil. I ended up having to use heat and a hammer on the one in the video I link below as it was really seized bad. ua-cam.com/video/x3tUpiHrD5I/v-deo.html
Either or will do, I've never had issues with either but I get nickel antisieze in bulk so I slather it on thick lol I've never once had an issue, thanks for watching!
I rescued a 2002 Ariens 824 and got it running and moving , video @ my channel , vocational school skills are good for repair during a pandemic, I subscribed to your channel,
Great video, it’s better to put money into these older machines. Then buy the garbage they sell now at the big box stores! Nice job! If people would just grease things, man would stuff last so much longer!!
When you sell that machine some lucky customer gets baby at a deal price EH? Or will you be keeping it for yourself? Real nice repair and another great video.
In Canada craftsman went bankrupt under sears Canada, so MTD purchased the rights. MTD only sells some Craftsman parts though, the other parts will be AYP or Murray parts which are now Briggs and Stratton owned. I'm a dealer for both MTD and Briggs, so I source parts directly through them. Sometimes I have 2 orders with 2 different companies to fix one machine, it happens from time to time.
I have the tracked version of this in Qc. My bushings are gone and the axle slides left and right causing no contact with the gears. What’s the part number for those bushings? Thank you
Great video. Question for you. I have a new st224 husqvarna snow blower. 3rd time used I noticed a squeaking noise when rolling the wheels. Drives fine when running and will roll when off but is loud now when the wheels turn. Any thoughts of why this might be? If I raise the front up and wheels don’t move squeaks the same. Very loud.
Hi ! Can you a hint on why this happened, got the same snowblower craftsman 8/25 , my oncle give it to me friction disc need to changed , done the job put everything back like it was si ce then speed get mixed up forward are reverse and reverse are forward , what happened????
I have a craftsman snowblower 8hp 25'' wide like your'e the problem some one took off the serial number for the engine.If you can give me the serial number of engine so l can buy the right parts thanks
If any viewers have chipmunks in their area and have a blower with the plastic drive gear check the bottom drive area before us. Those chipmunks get in there, store walnuts which get caught in the gear when put in drive and rip the teeth right off.
LOL, B&S OUTRAGEOUS prices on parts just about makes it cost prohibitive to repair older stuff UNLESS you love and realize the older stuff is FAR superious.

Spent 40 years in a chemical plant. We use nickel anti sieze on just about every nut and bolt we touch. Great stuff.

I put water proof grease on my axles every season and have no problem removing the wheels . Thank you sir for the video .

I don't think it really matters, I've seen people use copper antiseize, and Permatex is just the brand name!
@@EliminatorPerformance ok thank you!

Excellent demo.
Thanks for watching!
wonderful video. can you please recommend where to buy mostly used components in Ontario? such as o-rings, gaskets, belts, etc. thanks
Hard to say, you'd have better luck buying new though when it comes to that stuff.
Great Video!

I was told not to use antiseize but to use white lithium grease. Your opinion please. Good video by the way
Either or will do, I've never had issues with either but I get nickel antisieze in bulk so I slather it on thick lol I've never once had an issue, thanks for watching!
Excellent video!! Thank you!
Yeah good video brother.. looks like you managed to save some parts..
Thanks for watching!
Bravo , great info, awesome repair work

I antiseize everything.

Great tips👍
Where are you finding your Craftsman parts I’m having trouble with that

I'm a dealer for both MTD and Briggs, so I source parts directly through them. Sometimes I have 2 orders with 2 different companies to fix one machine, it happens from time to time.

A regular job can turn into a huge project just because of a few preventative maintenance steps.
Good day Boy some things are shown to us ,picture is worth 1000 words. Good one I will have to check mine to=morrow thanks
Thanks for watching!

Good info!!!! Thanks!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
The bushing would wear on the top of the bushing due to gravity no?
Yea top and bottom they get ovaled out, it was upside down so my brain got flipped lol thanks for watching!
Crazy! Great video but I can't believe he had it fixed. I would have said time for a brand new Ariens. Lol
We bought it off the customer for cheap, paid cost for parts and it's my labour. Thanks for watching!
Does anyone happen to have the model number for that axle shaft? Mine are seized as well. Thx.
Well deserved thumbs up as usual
Thanks for watching!
I have a craftsman snowblower 8hp 25'' wide like your'e the problem some one took off the serial number for the engine.If you can give me the serial number of engine so l can buy the right parts thanks
Solid
Thanks for watching!
Actually the weight comes from the top so it is the top of the bushing which wears.
I personally use permatex antie-seize , sylver/copper / and ( white creame ) ceramic antie-seize
Not grease. Use anti seize on the shaft.
Use both!
Good job man but a lot of money spent on an old blower no?
😊👍
Thanks for watching!
The first thing to do after bringing it home: put anti-sieze on the axles.
Thanks for watching!
If any viewers have chipmunks in their area and have a blower with the plastic drive gear check the bottom drive area before us. Those chipmunks get in there, store walnuts which get caught in the gear when put in drive and rip the teeth right off.
LOL, B&S OUTRAGEOUS prices on parts just about makes it cost prohibitive to repair older stuff UNLESS you love and realize the older stuff is FAR superious.
Yes I'd say, sometimes I shake my head lol thanks for watching!
Anti sieze on the drive axles, always!
Why am I watching a snow blower video I live in Florida
Cheers from Ontario Canada!
Because it may snow in the future in Florida with all this global warming
