My paddles were tough to get stretched enough to fit the bolts back in. At first I thought they had sold me the wrong size paddles. I soaked the paddles in hot water for a while and it made the job easy. Not everyone has needlenose visegrips. Carefully using regular needlenose pliers works as well.
Very good and informative video.
Greg, thanks for watching. We're glad you found it helpful.
I found a toothpick size metal retaining pin inside the sleeve of a scraper bar off a used TORO 2450 I bought.
I see no diagrams indicating the one inch pin. Any comments ??
Good video--I see some wite threads on my paddles...guess its time...but bigger issue is a screeching sound as I try to plow. I have to back up and try again...but it does not pick up much and only screeches. Any idea?
Would it be ok to try and replace the plastic scraper bar with 5/16 conveyor belt material? Would there be any drawbacks in your opinion?
betting the friction would create excessive drag , Personally id stick withe the nylon
Enjoyed your video. Made me go and verify that I had a correct hex for those side bolts on my Powerclear. Was wondering would the labor cost would be on this job.
Thanks
Thanks for watching! Our snow blower tune-up package costs $119.95. weingartz.com/Snow-Blower-Service
Feel free to let us know if you have more questions.
You installed the paddle on the wrong side of the auger.
Hi, Bob! Thanks for your question. It is the opinion of our experts that the plastic scraper bar would travel over the cement with less friction. The 5/16 rubber belt material would likely dig into uneven parts of the cement, causing you to come to a complete stop. With the square edge, you would dig into uneven cement and not push or scrape very well.
Hope that answers your question!
Thanks for the video. Replacing my blades and scrapers tomorrow (after 14 years.) I was wondering why my "throw" was so lame, now I know. Worn blades forced me to horse that blower all over the driveway.
Now that was a worthwhile demonstration on how to reassemble those paddles. Yes, the end one needs an assist from a pair of vice grips.
Thanks for sharing, Stanley Tarasek! Let us know if we can be of any further help!
Bonus points for being one the only paddle replacement videos to mention the correct way to install the paddle so the thicker side strikes first. :-)
You put the center paddle back on the wrong way
Good tip about the blade orientation. No other video I found mentions that you should have the threads on top. BTW I found it almost impossible to get some of those torque screws reinstalled because of the lack of clearance. I needed my wife's help in getting them back on since her hands were small enough to get the nut started. I could not do it alone using a pair of pliers.
Joe, we're glad you found this video helpful!
I ordered replacement paddles and scrape bar but they did not come with screws or bolts. what size screws and bolts are are on the scrapper bar.
mine doesn't even have a scrapper bar.
Yep I've had to go to the hardware store twice to replace bolts that were rusted unusable.
Just replaced my scraper bar today and will be replacing the paddles I have ordered. Did not realize about the threads in the paddles, the last ones I installed, one was opposite and looked shredded. Glad I saw the video.
I got my paddles off of Amazon. The holes line up ,but mine are thicker and much more difficult to line up the edges
It's possible you have the wrong paddles. If you send me your model and serial number, I can help you find the correct paddles.
@@weingartz I used a heat gun and elbow grease with new non stripped bolts and got them on tight.. Snow tomorrow in the northeast..

Thanks for watching! It's time to replace your auger belt. Don't hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions.
I have a Snapper single stage blower. I am not handy so my questions might seem stupid, how many paddles on my blower, and what does it mean to put the threads "up". Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Your snow blower has 6 paddles. There is a thick rubber part on one side of the threads and a thin rubber part on the other side. For the threads to be put up, that means the thick rubber part hits the ground first. Please feel free to let us know if you have more questions or concerns.
thank you for responding, my brother works for your company. I am confused, I think I have only 2 paddles
@@conradschwartz2735 Really?! What is your brother's name? You have 3 paddles/parts that make up each side of the auger, making a total of 6. The paddles are usually sold in kits like these weingartz.com/C/124064/Snow-Blower-Paddle-and-Scraper-Combos
@@weingartz my brother is Michael Schwartz and he works at your store over on the far northeast side, not sure. Thanks for your help.
Easy enough unless those scraper bar bolts are rusted or frozen up then good luck!
Ken, you could try PB Blaster for rusted nuts and bolts. It's available in our stores and online: weingartz.com/PD/3155405/Oregon-Blaster-Lube-Penetrant,-11Oz.
