Great work. All I can add to the discussion is winter in Clearwater, Florida. Best snowblower fix ever. You will never jamb the impeller with another "free newspaper". Seriously though, it never hurts to have a free garbage picked rehab standby unit waiting when another confounded newspaper gets completely jammed in the impeller drive.
I must say thank you to you Sir to your great advice on helping this 60 plus old guy getting the gift I got from a friend. 622 toro from the year 2000 called power throw. All your great advice helped me. Thanks again. It ran for two hours today in my front yard and all throughout my back yard so my dog can walk. Thanks again My idle won’t stay it stalls.
@@EliminatorPerformance yes I agree with what you say. I have very little tools in my garage. I’m more of a city guy because of where I grew up. But I’m sure interested in learning anything to help me. I have been living in suburban for some years now usually take all my carro a shop. But small engines I try my best to make it work. John.
Awesome tutorial, great shop living room, and I have a new definition of "Looks brand new". Subbed when I heard you say "Dickered Skidders"! LMFAO! Thanks!
I would agree that a lot of machines out there have clutch linkages that are out of adjustment. Those adjustments are critical to the safety of their users and the life of the machine itself. I found on my Toro 421 that the wheel drive wasn't tight enough so some of the gear ranges and reverse gear did not work. A simple adjustment got it working again. I like Toro's use of linkage rods instead of cables (they don't stretch).
If you look at steel bed frames, they have almost identical skid plate pieces, with the bolt slots even. On mine I added a 8" long x 2" wide 1/4 thick piece of steel - I also added small rubber wheels at the back and front, so the lip wouldn't bottom out and get damaged. Now I can push it around the garage with 1 finger.
i got almost the ame old girl except mine's the 11/30. A buddy gave me mine in two halves and said it ate belts. put in a new belt and put it together, straightened the tension arm wheel to be in more, and then it was good. i gotta flush and relube the transfer case and replace my auger chute cable and restring the pull start (that isnt a priority, its electric start as well, still works. Just actually came in from the shed putting her away after clearing up after a typical newfoundland west coast snow storm. I need to put in a few more bolts, as she came to me missing some, then putting the bellypan back on, but these old girls are built solid, and will treat you well if you treat them well. This spring i gotta weld a small crack in the impeller area, and then paint over the surface-rusted areas with converter and then see if Crappy Tire can match the paint for an enamel and cover that all up. i may also see about replacing the OG light with an LED array.
I have the same snow blower mine is a few years older same model so I did my homework and bought a Ariens 24 inch Deluxe what a beast on snow wet or powder😀
The mix I use and have been using for 5 years is, 50% simple green purple, 25% distilled white vinegar, and 25% distilled water, it's safe and won't harm the environment, or pets, or you, don't leave the carb in the sause for longer then 1hr it will discolor the aluminum, rinse with warm water, and blow out with compressed air, if the ultrasonic cleaner has a dump valve hook up a clear section of tubing and a regular briggs red fuel filter, and a briggs paper fuel filter and it cleans the liquid almost clean, then you can reuse the liquid over and over again, I would dispose of the liquid after 6 months of normal use, great video.
nice restoration. so did you wind up sandblasting or wire brushing the rust off that you repaired? also how was the paint applied by brush? and did you have to put a primer or some type of rust restorer before applying the top green coat?
Wire wheeled it, paint was applied by brush. Nothing under it, just a light coat 1st then thicker over top that. And yes we use rust converter before painting.
@@EliminatorPerformance Awesome. I may do this with my red craftsman. I have a local Benjamin Moore dealer that i can bring a sample too. Mine is not as severely rusted as the one you restored. Mine is starting oxidize from being outside in various spots but its not actually rust. Would you recommend doing what you did or is there some way i can buff out the oxidation from the paint or use another method or product?
@@nyacoustics8373 ask them for the super spec paint, it has the hardener in it and it's basically indestructible! Great paint. We usually just paint over everything, we use an oil and grease remover to wipe everything down before painting, good luck!
Good video hit all the major points. That shutoff valve is a great idea. I always use mine to shut the engine down so there is little or no fuel in the carburetor. The gas we buy these days has a short shelf life even with fuel stabilizers added.
Hey Jake, your videos are great. On this video you mentioned Port Colborne and I stopped the video and recognized that you are my cousin Ron’s neighbour where I have visited many times in the past. I have done a few carb cleans and setting on Tecumseh 8 hp Craftsman 825 and now on a Toro Snow King 826 LE (same engine but much newer). Something is not running right on it though. It seems to get choked up when getting a good feed of snow, sputters a bit then catches up. I’ve set the fuel mixture screw (fuel not air - based on one of you videos) at 1.25 out and the main jet at 1.75 out., idle at 1.5 out. It gets a fast idle not want to lower and the suddenly it does. Also I feel that it can run a little more rev at high end. I’m going to take it apart and carb clean again to see if it will improve. Any ideas what might be the problem? Loris
Probably the carb, best bet is to get a replacement carb on amazon for like $25-35 and it'll start 1st pull, just make sure the bottom bowl nut is tight sometimes they're loose.
@@EliminatorPerformance thanks I’ve been contemplating doing that. I’m probably going to transfer the carb from the Craftsman 825 to the Toro. Is there a code somewhere that would tell me if the carbs are identiche or not. I believe they are.
Hello, Eliminator .Performance, I'm looking for your video " My inside snowblower at minute 5:35 and can't find it, as I have problem where the wheels stopped moving even I bought new friction disc but no luck and I hope can I get some help with it, thanks for your videos
Got a question for ya…. Need help, I’m new to snowblowers and I got one given to me from a neighbor. It’s a really old one, but has the exact same engine you show on this one. The “key” says Tecumseh Snow King on it, it has a Tecumseh products company starter with 33329C model, and it’s on a Norma Outdoor Product DYNAMARK snowblower with an 8HP engine on tracks. I have not tried to start it yet, but was told the carb was “leaking” and gummed up. The carb has 453 in the casting too. But I can’t find any part numbers or anything on the engine to tell me the model number. The snowblower has a model number from Western International Inc model number 258500 , code 8263 and Serial number 00023. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I’d love to get this thing going again for the tight spaces on my land where I can’t get the plow.
I removed the auger blades from my murray snow blower to refinish them, one blade is listed as a left one is listed as a right , do you know how to tell which blade is the left and which one is the right after they are removed from the snow blower? please help me ,
Chris's small engines at 11:52 you can see the paint number. It's KP22 - 4B it's a custom mix "Super Spec Benjamin Moore Alkyd" paint, we get it mixed at Port Paint and Paper here in Port Colborne Ontario. We bring in a paint chip and they get the paint numbers using a laser. We've done this for multiple machines, craftsman green, MTD black, Husqvarna Orange, MTD red etc... Then they custom mix up the paint, the 4B stands for Ultra tint. When it drys, it's rock hard and basically scratch resistant!
Chris's small engines it's expensive, just over $20 a pint but well worth it! Use those number at 11:52 and a paint store can match it exactly. At 12:39 that's the brand name, "Super Spec Maintenance Coating Urethane Alkyd Gloss Enamel"
Good day Boy good video. I sub, the last video was Mtd, from Kitchener,from my neck of woods. Your lincoln welder did you get that from canadian tire too. I would like too buy one ? I checked they are about $3-400 cheaper than going too weld dealer. Thanks
Thanks Don, I actually bought that welder off my neighbour for $250 with a tank, but had to swap tank because it was out of date. Bought a cart for $50 on Kijiji and it's been great!
Never put the aluminum Tecumseh float bowl in an ultrasonic cleaner! They always eat away the bowl right at the bottom at the thinnest part where the bowl nut secures.
I wouldn't use sand blasting on small spots of rust , I'd use a drill with a nice brush hit it with some alcohol and then rustolum rust inhibitor then the color. was then nice wax . bingo done

Never put the aluminum Tecumseh float bowl in an ultrasonic cleaner! They always eat away the bowl right at the bottom at the thinnest part where the bowl nut secures.
Is there any way to show how to fix the shoot from wobbling around. I have put the inner and outer rings and the metal plate. But to no avail.
Try bending the mount where the rod goes, so it's closer to the chute, sometimes the extra pressure will keep it from wobbling left and right!
