MTD Snowblower Doesn't Move - HOW to FIX!

  • Step by Step Tutorial!
    In today's video, we'll be looking at a YardMachines snowblower (MTD) that won't move forward or back!
    The reason this happens is due to the roller bearings seizing up. These bearings are located inside the gears that mount on the drive axle.
    If you contact MTD customer service & tell them you're experiencing this issue, they may send you an MTD Drive Repair Kit Part # 75305173A at no cost. However, this issue can still occur, as the new kit is identical to the old parts.
    Once we drained the oil, flipped it up and removed the access panel, we can begin our disassembly.
    Following the steps in this video, you'll be able to remove both the upper and lower axles, to gain access at the gear bearings.
    You don't have to remove both gears, however, I recommend cleaning and lubricating both gears! As you'll see in the video, even though the upper gear still rotated on the shaft, once we removed it we could see it didn't have any lubrication inside of it (Meaning this issue would have happened again).
    I also replaced both outer bearings for the lower axle as well.
    Once everything was cleaned, we greased the bearings using Roller Bearing specific grease (It's super sticky and won't come out as easy).
    We then reassemble everything, and lubricate both axles.
    After these steps are completed, we use Oil and Grease remover to wipe down the friction wheel and drive disc, to ensure there is no slippage of the friction wheel when driving!
    If you follow the steps in this video, this repair should take you anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 hours to complete. You may also need a wide range of tools to complete this repair.

    The roller bearings can be pressed out and replaced if they are too badly damaged. The roller bearing part numbers are SCE1211 (2 for the wider gear) and SCE1214 (1 for the narrow gear).
    I've also heard you may need an SCE1212 and SCE1210 so please measure and research.
    Cheaper than buying a Drive Repair Kit - MTD Part # 75305173A
    This video just shows you how to repair the issue without replacing the gears. Thanks for watching everyone!

      Have you or anybody else found out for sure if the repair kit is available for free from MTD ?

    • @EliminatorPerformance
      @EliminatorPerformance  4 роки тому +1

      Many people have said that if you call and complain, they will send you a $200 repair kit free of charge. This is due to it being a "silent recall". I however, have not done that, so I can't speak from my own experiences.

    • @thekingsilverado9004

      I am actually doing a Troybilt at the moment. The wheels are completely frozen fast although the machine has little if any rust. Tomm when the weather clears up I am going to take the old smoke wrench to the wheels and the puller.. I cannot believe how they are seized on that little shaft. I may attempt to also drill thru the wheels so I can use a steering wheel puller on the wheels to help in the issues. This is not the norm for these machines but a few of em have what seems like a black locktite not just holding the wheel bolts but the wheel itself. I seen a video of guy that ended up cutting the axle and machining out the wheel hubs. What a friggin drag wrecking both the axle and wheel hubs.

    Just repaired my MTD blower with this same problem. Toughest part was getting the gear off the wheel axle even after removing the rust from the axle. Both bearings on both axles and one of the outside bearings seized all at the same time, 3 out of 4. Now they’re all greased and working again. Thx for this video great job!

    I am not The Most Mechanically Inclined Person, But at times I Can Be.
    But Due to Your Incredibly thorough video, I followed you Steps 1 By 1 and Found the Lower Axle Bearing, which is the Exact One That was Seized in the Video.
    I ended up removing it and Used a Old Family remedy to Remove the rust, Which I couldn’t believe it Worked because the Roller Bearings were All completely Seized with Solid Rust, But after 20-30 minutes of Soaking, I used an old Tooth Brush and Spent about 5 Minutes Brushing the Rust Out and it Completely took all the Rust off and The Roller Bearing Rolled Just Like Brand New!!!!
    I Greased Everything Back Up And Reassembled the Unit Step by Step and it Actually Moves and Works better than Brand New!!!!
    It Cost me Less Than $10 for Brake Cleaner and Marine Grease and a Gun!!
    It Took Me About 3 Hours to complete and SINCERELY WANT TO THANK YOU!!!
    I Appreciate the time you put into your video, Because It Was Priceless to Me.
    Keep up the Great Work
    Thanks, Rich

    Greatest how to video I have ever found on UA-cam! I am always learning how to fix things because most people would throw something out that they don't know how to fix, I would rather figure out how to fix it. I was really just wondering what would cause a snow blower wheel to seize and I found your video. I had only planned on watching a few minutes to get an idea for the repair but I ended up watching all 33 minutes of your video. Extremely informative, you took it nice and slow but not so slow that it was painful to watch, I really wish all UA-cam videos could be like yours. You definitely just got another subscriber, thanks so much for the info :)

    TY EP! What we have here is one of the most professional "how to" videos carefully detailing how to accomplish a difficult task into a walk in the park. You have knocked it out of the park! My Yardman (aka MTD) drive just stopped working. Ironically, I changed the drive belt when I replaced both auger belts (belts worked but were 20 years old!) just a few weeks ago. I hold down the drive handle, and nothing happens. Changing gears does not change this experience. Any guesses as to what is wrong? Anyway, I have yet to determine the cause and found this video in preparation for what I may be dealing with. The *worse* part of this video is the guilt I have for not realizing all the preventative maintenance I should have been doing within the gear housing. In my defense, I give her new plug, oil, and lube the items _outside_ of the gear housing every year. I was afraid of breaking what isn't broke by removing the gear cover lol - cheers!

    • @EliminatorPerformance

      Thanks for the kind words Chris, sounds like you have a friction wheel issue, it's possible that the cable just needs adjustment.

    Great step-by-step instructional video. Your directions helped me with the bearings in the large dual gear located on the lower drive axle. The bearings on the end were fine. It was the roller bearings in the large gear that locked up my wheels from turning. Removed it, sprayed the bearings with silicone spray to lubricate them and then applied grease. Reassembled, Bob's your uncle! Thanks for this. Saved me a lot of my own trouble shooting. Cheers!!

    My same problem on the upper gear. Yard Machines 5.5 hp. $50 at a yard sale.
    Unfortunately I ripped the whole thing apart first and it took the whole day to figure it out. That same night I was googling the gear assembly to purchase when I came upon your video. I wish I saw the video first. Would have saved a lot of time and head scratching. But now I will clean and lube bearings and save the cash. Great video. Stay safe.

    Crazy thing is, it's the same exact snowthrower as what's in this video.
    I can't wait to try this fix this coming Spring. It only snows, like really snow, around 5 times here and probably need the snowthrower once or twice a year, but man, it's a lifesaver.

    Excellent! I have a craftsman snowblower a little bit older than this one. I have been in it a couple of times over the years, most recently to replace the carburetor. I have been paying a lot more attention to it's maintenance lately because I don't think a new one would give me the kind of service this one has. This video has given me the idea that I should take the bottom cover off and inspect the insides. It's been awhile. Thanks again!

    Snow blowers with rubber tires on them are always always getting stuck again and again . This will happen about every 10 to 15 seconds and then you have to use your entire body weight to overcome the weight of the blower and also the weight of the snow . The rubber tires will helplessly be going around and around . What you really need is a rubber track type snow blower . You will be so so so much farther ahead with those rubber tracks as apposed to round rubber tires because the contact patch is much larger on the rubber track than the tire .

      Adjust your shifter rod/cable to make the friction wheel move over more. Simple fix!

      Adjust your cables and lubricate pivot points. May need a new wheel drive belt. Check the owners manual for exact instructions. The rubber wheel moving over the spinning friction plate decides speed and direction.

      @EliminatorPerformance  6 років тому +1

      Depends what their hourly rate is, it's at least a 2hr job and that's if the wheels come off easily and things aren't rusted solid. Plus parts if the bearing can't be salvaged like this one was.
      For reference, I charge $60/hr in Ontario Canada.

    Help!!! On my friction wheel, if the smallest gear is in place, the wheels won't turn. If I move it aside, then the wheels turn. Put back in place, it won't move again. All gears are complete with no teeth broken. I have wracked my brain and it doesn't make sense to me. What am I doing wrong? Every gear moves until that smallest gear is put back in place. Please advise...

It didnt make sense to me, so naturally, not liking to get beat by these machines, and not wanting to shovel the snow, I got the bearings unseized... single female and not alot of cash, I am a do-it-myselfer. Many thanks.. question tho.. I seem to have a washer left from the right side bearing area. It is normal to have/need a washer between the gear and the bearing? Its at 25:37 of your video.

      @@kathy5939 sometimes they use bearing to take up extra "play" in the shaft. Think of it like limiting side to side movement. If you flip the machine up, and push/pull on the wheel from the side, see how much you can get it to move. You may or may not need it.

    Terrific video! I would have been in a world of hurt without your guidance. One thing I'm still stumped by is there seems to be two holes on each side of the housing so the upper axel can be mounted in two different locations. My blower came with the axel mounted in the lower set of holes than what appears in this video. I'm not finding much online. Are you able to clarify why this is?

    • @EliminatorPerformance

      Some have different size wheels, use whatever holes that puts the machine in the proper position. If it looks wrong it probably is. I mean like the tilt of it.

  • @danimal3772
    @danimal3772 4 роки тому +5

    As an FYI, you can press the bearings out of these gears and press new ones in, instead of replacing the entire gear assembly. The bearing numbers are on the side of the bearing. Usually needle/roller bearing seals wear out. This allows the grease to leak out and water & dirt in. So, cleaning & greasing buys time, but will fail again not too far down the road. Excellent video though, thanks!
