Snow blowing days and repairs are here again at least for some of us and yeah that ["dropsy, where did it go"] thing has inflicted me as well Bruce and seems there is no getting away from it at our age. Good vid once again and a very Merry Christmas to you and the family.
I've never taken mine apart to see, I've just always assumed it was a maze of belts and pulleys. It doesn't look as bad as I expected. Informative video, Bruce
Seasons greetings to you and the misses Bruce. Nice to see you up and about. I see Frank has a shine as usual. Great job on the blower ,we are using them in winterpeg this yet thats for sure! Cheers, brother!
Nice easy job to change those friction rings Bruce. The only thing different that I do is I always pull off the drive wheels. It gives a little more room, and gives a chance to grease axle shafts for future. I’m surprised that there was only 1 auger belt. Usually on a unit that large they have 2. Cheers. Have a good week.
I'm keeping all these snow blower repairs locked in memory so when the climate change brings the next ice age to Mississippi I'll be ready to fix these boogers. 🤣 Nice job Mr Bruce 👍
Hello Bruce. I don't know if you remember me, I don't watch and comment a lot but I see you are still responding to all your commenters. I'm glad to see your channel is doing so well, mine has dropped off quite a bit over the last couple of years, I think a lot of it is because of more and better competition for the big truck channels and then you never know what I might put up here, too much variety in my case. I never guessed the "transmission" was so primitive and simple in design, is that common on snow blowers? they do sell them in my area (St.Louis) in the states, but don't normally have much need as when we have a big snow it's usually gone in a week or so, 4 to 6 inches would be a decent snow 3 or 4 times a year, a foot or more I have only seen a handful of times in my 67 years usually 1 to 3 inches a few times between late November and early March would be normal. Most of my small engine repairs are on mowers, trimmers, saws, pumps and the like. I'm glad you guys are still visiting Mexico, do you know Spanish? or do you just go to the tourist areas where there is enough English available.
Yes That is how snowblowers work. It is old Snapper mower technology. We do go to a tourist area but it is only a mile walk to the Mexicn parts of town. I speak very little spanish but understand more but for the slang. For example ---up here you can say "nice goin Bro". (english slang) That s hard for a newcomers to understand. We get by OK.
@@BrucesShop Thanks for the reply Bruce. I'm maybe 50% fluent in Spanish. We have a large Hispanic community around my area so I started learning it when I moved here back in '87 to be more neighborly and I have been pretty much included in their community.
I’m in Dallas. Snappers are made in Ft. Worth. They made thousands of these with this drive unit. I like the drive on this because it’s easy to work on and I can get parts.
Roger on the dropping stuff. I'll be 75 in about three weeks. I drop stuff then can't find it. It's getting harder to get up from working on the floor.
Bruce, I can fix anything, wheres the hammer? If the guy never used the electric starter, could be due to the fact, he's nowhere near a power source. The max distance I'd feel safe using an electric starter that draws high amps, would be 100-feet with a 12 to 10 gauge extension cord. All modern small engines have a compression release. Even though my generator has an electric starter, I tested it once starting via the pull rope, 13HP engine pull started like butta lol. That snow blower aint that old, and it already needs a new friction rubber disk! They don't make them like they used to!
Send many with the ground plug broken off here at EP so we advise the customer to ensure they pull starter cord straight out and not on an angle. Additionally we put dielectric grease on the prongs to make things easier for them.

Merry Christmas to you as well.
I don't work on a lot of snow blowers but when I do I never forget about the snack afterwards. Its nice to see I was getting that part right 🙂
I should have had a cold beverage!
Nice to see a snowblower video. And nice to see you too Bruce!
More to come!
I want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and very awesome video thank you
Thanks so much. Happy Holidays to you as well

It isn't too bad but it always looks worse than it really is.

Thanks so much!!!
Yes sir Bruce 😊 I learned that the hard way years ago 😅 thanks for sharing brother 👍🏻 🙏
Thanks a lot
@@BrucesShop 😂😂😂
Love it when you can start an engine with a hammer lol. I would love to work on these but we just don't get the snow... Hope all is good Mr Bruce..
Thanks 👍 All iswell

Thanks for sharing your tip about pulling off the wheels!
great work Bruce!! happy holidays!!
Thanks so much. bigbadmower
Won't find many in Raincouver BC but once every 10 yrs when we get a "Snow Storm!" wish I had one.
I am aware that my nieghbours to the west get a one in 10 year snow dump. Thanks Robert
Holy smokes those skids were way off. I'm surprised that there was that much adjustment in them. Another good video on upkeep Bruce, thank you.
Thanks for watching!

Nice job Mr Bruce 👍
Get on anyway and use it to return your neighbour's leaves in fall.
@ 🤣👍🏼🤣
@@Big_JohnsYou will be the ‘Ace’ of Mississippi when that happens.
🤣🤣 MT then I’d finally be the Ace of something. 😳

I had to chuckled when you drop the screws because I do it all the time.
Righ.Thee was no faking that LOL
Great video Bruce! Hope all is well.
Thanks so much!
I hate losing tools as well. Looks like a snapper drive. I did find a old snapper out for the trash. Fixed it up best leaf grinder I own.
I have only seen one Snapper with that drive disk.
I’m in Dallas. Snappers are made in Ft. Worth. They made thousands of these with this drive unit. I like the drive on this because it’s easy to work on and I can get parts.
@@larryjones6049 right on.
Have a great holiday 😊
Thanks! You too.
Nice Bruce. I see your clipper escaped and made it here to Michigan.
Yep... You know how they are!!! LOL
220V i Europa Was in the "old days" Today it's 230V but still 50 Hz 👍😎
Thanks

Thanks Jin. Dropping stuff is what we do eh!!! 😊😊
I was gifted a 94 mtd blower from original owner. Gone through a couple rubber wheels. Wondering if I need to go OEM instead of aftermarket.
I have had god luck with the non OEM bought locally
No problems with aftermarket from Stens or Oregon.
Yep. I use a hammer to fix my snowblower as well. Great job on the videoing Bruce. Where in town did you find that part? Wow. Thanks Bruce. Stevo
At Canadian Tire. Can you believe it!!! Good to hear from you. :-)
Used to dream about having a two stage snowblower. Until I got one
Too funny.
Cool!
Thanks.

The owner is very hard on it.
What did you have for snack?
IOH a Gatoraid LOL
@ Not sure what IOH is, but I hope it’s low sodium :)
I just had to flip plug over on a briggs electric starter. Would just click once until I turned it 180 degrees. Ground prong missing on starter.
I’ve been lucky so far with electric starters.
Send many with the ground plug broken off here at EP so we advise the customer to ensure they pull starter cord straight out and not on an angle. Additionally we put dielectric grease on the prongs to make things easier for them.
Hello my friend good to see you awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep not many snowblower owners know they need to use the electric starter periodically or it will malfunction like yours.
Thanks Wayne
Warm
yes
First.... LMAO
Last LOL
