CRAFTSMAN 928 SNOWBLOWER AUGER DOESNT WORK STRIPPED WORM GEAR IMPELLER SHAFT FLANGE BUSHING REMOVAL
Вставка

- When the engines running and the auger lever is engaged, only the impeller spins. The auger blades do not spin, turn or move. The 4 shear pins bolts are intact. The proper procedure for fixing this is to split the snow blower in half and remove the entire auger assembly.

Had to give you a 👍. Thanks for taking the time to make this. Helped me get my machine fixed amidst this 1/12/2024 Midwestern snowstorm.
Glad it helped! Hope you’ll subscribe
Thank you very much. I was intimidated and wasn't sure how hard it would be to remove the blower assembly. What you nice people do is make this world a much better place. Again thank you for your time and effort.
You're welcome! Hope you’re subscribed
4 bolts, now that's what I'm talking about!!🤙 Thank you!
You bet! Hope you’re subscribed
Got to love it when a bushing/bearing decides to self-destruct lol Today i sold a Toro push mower for $100 today, which for me was an easy flip, all it needed was a tune up and a blade, i've never sold a lawn mower in January lol Snowblowers look complicated to work on, anything MTD or made by MTD is complicated and a pain to work on. Also great video Henry!
Thanks buddy, anything you're not familiar with seems complicated or intimidating. As you know I'm sure, an engines an engine. Once you crack anything open, and do it a few times, nothing to it bro.
That's the most over looked part of a snowblower that people never address by changing the lube. I found some people actually try to squirt bearing grease into the plug hole! Any lube is better than no lube of course, but bearing grease will not stay on the gears for very long. I always used synthetic gear lube and never had problems.
It’s what they used when they didn’t invent synthetic yet
I'm always looking forward to another mowers and blowers production hope all is well Henry good vid bud
Thanks Cole, comments like yours keep me going strong brother.
Wow Henry its Rocco you have some luck selling stuff and fixing things make sure you fill snowblower auger with 00 grease glad to see you are selling them with no snow
Rocco, yeah but I'll have no more snowblowers to sell when there is snow...lol
@@MowersNBlowers Everyone wishes they had that problem lol.......😉👍🤙🖐🤟✊👍
I found a replacement gear selector cable for my Craftsman snow blower on a site called e replacement parts (I separated the URL because the comments should not have external links). I don't know if they have the bushing for your exact model, but if they don't you can feel discouraged.
My snow blower is about 20 years old; I'm looking at an electric replacement next year.
I didn’t have any issues locating the part. Fixed it easily. If you subscribed, you’ll see todays video of my using a fully electric dual stage snowblower at 3pm.

Good job Henry it's coming.
Should sell that part, I have a problem mine won't turn just makes a noise
They sell every part, you just gotta find it
Very helpful. But, it would have been great to see what you were doing behind the auger area.
Being really busy that I couldn’t go get the camera
Those Auger gears look pretty worn to me. The center of the gear is concave...
Augers are just the metal blades and hardly get any wear because they just move snow to the center. The worm gear was fine they’re made concave. Here’s the fix

I'm having the exact same problem with my craftsman. Time for a new one lol. Anyone in Minneapolis need something to workon? haha. Sub'd.
Not hard to do my man. You should come to NY, these snowblowers are either free or like $100!
Nice result Henry .Happy new year. Should sell for 500 to 600 quid .
Same to you my friend! Be well!
Pay attention to the part number of the Craftsman. They usually use the same part number with maybe an add on number(s) of the actual manufacturer like MTD. You might have to go the manufacturer's web site for the bushing. And if so it might be cheaper.
Yes a 31 series MTD, I'm very familiar. At the end of the video, it shows the purchase of the part for $8.
They are $7 now from the manufacturer, it seems most of the replacement parts are cheaper just buying them from MTD.
@@coast2coast00 Sears markup. All Craftsman is is lowest bidder chinese crap so you can get them for pennies if you find what chinese sweatshop makes the parts lol Old Craftsman from the 80's and older was indestructible, that was quality.
It's odd to see that kinda of end bushing wear without one of the shafts being bent or the impeller bearing shot. I know it's a PIA and you're flipping these machines, but I'd pull the impeller off the shaft and see if it's true and straight.
Good point, I didnt see any obvious signs of imbalance, I found it odd too. I'll definately check both shafts and see. Thanks man. Hope you subscribed and I look forward to seeing your comments in the future
This morning a towel got into my Columbia impeller and the engine shut down. Tried to get out the towel but eventually gave up even that because the engine would not start anyway. Is this thing a write-off? I live in the city and don’t have a good work area like you
Remove the towel, even cutting it up in a million pieces, get it all out. Pull the rope slowly a bunch of times until it feels free. If it still doesn’t start, you may have broken the key on the crankshaft. A key is like $2! But labor to get the flywheel off is a pain.
2:35 you sound like dan ackroyd lol
I’ve heard that from people before
@@MowersNBlowers :-)
Why would the impeller work correctly but not the auger?
Impeller is powered by the belt, then a geared shaft goes to a gearbox to power the auger. If the shaft gears are stripped, the auger doesn’t spin even though the impeller is.
@@MowersNBlowers my 05 Craftsman 31am63tf799 seems to be both impeller & auger are powered by one belt so after tearing things apart a bit, i think that the gears in the gear box are stripped, even tho no shear pins have come apart. I'm trying to get the auger seperated from the shaft, but there seems to be a pressed bearing at the end of the shaft that won't let me get the auger out from the housing. Shit.
Try this

Used to be able to go on Sears Web site and order parts, don't know if Lowe's is doing that since Craftsman buyout.
Hey Billy, I only use searspartdirect to reference the parts diagrams, I use the part # and look it up on ebay. Thanks for the comment, hope you subscribed. I look forward to seeing your comments in the future.
Would be nice to have a view of the disassembly of the fly wheel. You have all of your work hidden behind the shroud
Sometimes when you’re really elbows deep into something, the priority is the job, not making sure a camera is on your head. But I’ll make sure to capture everything from now on. Hope you’re subscribed
Why is the audio on your videos always off by a half a second like you crank a motor over it takes a half a second for the sound of it cranking over its just weird lol
When my phone is too full of videos, it lags.
You fast forward thru the disassembly and your camera wasn’t setup to where we could see what you were doing!
You don’t have any videos, so at least I made an effort!
@@MowersNBlowers These kind of people expect you to hold their hand the entire way and have no mechanical understanding. I get attacked by these idiots too. They are just too cheap to go to a shop and get mad when they can't have some specific step by step solution to their problem.
