Last night the auger belt on my snow blower went. To be fair it was old and due to go at any time. I actually thought it was one belt but when I went to get the part today, it is two. I also bought a new drive belt as they are the same age and chances are it may go too. I plan on changing both out. It is a 10.5 hp, 30", Yard Works with a Tecumseh engine. I have never changed one and I am not sure how involved it is so any hints would be helpful.
Hello, I have never seen a snow blower and do not know what an auger belt is. Sincerely, 9/10ths of the world.
This is all I can find so far that might be helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAa7bdjsoqM"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAa7bdjsoqM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ochNjWTGjKc"]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ochNjWTGjKc Fixya's website has all kinds of search results when I type in your blower info, but the results are not relevant - at least I didn't see any. If I were close by, would change them for you. Sorry. I hope the videos are of some help.
Wow WCW, thanks a bunch. I looked around for info but did not find videos as well done as those. I watched both of those and the second one has the two belt system but the first one has far more detail in case I run into trouble doing it. I have changed belts on a riding mower and a walking weed whacker but never on a blower and was a little apprehensive. After watching these I think I might be able to muddle through it. I will probably wait until the weekend to do it in case I run into problems as then there are a couple of people I could call if I am really stuck. The drive belt should be more straight forward as it is still in place so I have at least visual on what it is suppose to look like. Thank you
Isn't the internet wonderful? :2thumbsup: I wish some of the butt-pickin' auto mechanics around here would discover it. It would save some people in this podunk town a lot of money and grief.
That it is! It also really helps though when someone who has done it, like WCW picks the video as they tend to know what they are doing and find the video helpful and accurate. There is something really rewarding about being able to fix something and actually have it work.
