I didn't have heat in my detatched garage till last year and it sure won't hold heat in it long, being a cinderblock garage, but I got a salamander or torpedo type heater off amazon for about $120.00 that runs off kerosene and looks like the afterburner on the batmobile when ya fire it up, lol. Heats that garage up in less than two minutes!
Yeah, I tried that with the punch. Didn't work. Mine are called sheer bolts instead of pins though. And some nimrod who owned the thing before me put actual construction bolts in it instead of sheer bolts. I replaced the one on the right side, but the left side broke on both ends like a sheer bolt should I guess, but all I did was deform the punch head trying to drive it out. Guess I'll either have to heat it or try an easy out, or drill it out. Been soaking it in WD40 the last couple days hoping it'll help.
Oh, man, I feel your pain. That happens a lot with the n00bs. If they're in that hard, that transfer gearbox for the slicer blades has had some abuse. If you end up taking it apart to fix it, check that too.
@@magic.marmot Well, the gear box does leak which I figured out when I filled it about a week ago. Looked at it the other day and it had a few drops under it and the bottom of the box was wet. Should just need new seals though. It's the old cast iron type with the drain and fill bolts in the front. It snowed the other day and I tried it out and it worked fine even with the broken bolt as the auger still turned with the axle. Mine's an Ariens 10M4 ST424 model made back in 1965 I even tried an Ingersoll Rand air hammer on that bolt...no luck yet on getting it out though.
Thank you, Good Man.
Fellow Minnesotan here. I waited til October to fix mine, no heat in my garage lol. Thanks for the video
