#15 Kubota B2601 compact tractor. B2782 snowblower repair. Fixing the chute. outdoor channel. 

Yayyyayayay! You and Guy saved the day! My shear pin broke on my tractor blower the other day and I went to install a new one and Guy was the only person on RU-vid I found that addressed the fact that you can install the shear pin on the auger one way to match the other auger or you can rotate it 180° to make it different the the other auger. This would affect the way it shoots snow into the impeller and I figured there was a right way and a wrong way. It looks like you guys agreed it should be staggered from the other auger. Thanks!

Great idea marking to line up for the shear bolts/pins, I will use that on my snowblower! Thanks!

Thank God for good neighbors. Never thought of freezing temps effecting the grease. Thanks for sharing the video.

Good idea to mark were the sheer pin goes before they brake!

@ 3:46 Guy gives you great advice that you’ll need in about 2 years 😂 If I remembered half of what I’ve learned, I’d be pretty smart! Cheers. 😊

Hey GP, wanted to thank you for your video. I am just finishing up putting my snowblower together for my B2650HSDC, and thanks to this video, I will be taking the chute off and removing the grease that I applied during assembly. My manual only say to lubricate the plastic ring. I wrongly assumed that grease would be the correct lub. At least I can do it while it is still warm out and not when the temps drop. Thanks for all the time you put into your videos, they are very appreciated

thanks for some great ideas

Great that your neighbour friend could help out ! been cold here in mid illinois too have a great week ! Curt :-)

Great video, nice and simple with great comment.

Thanks like the video on fixing snowblower ,I use gigalu for cause it froze my chute on my Kubota tractor B2400 .

That’s a great looking machine. If you flip-flop the hydraulic rotation hoses it would make more sense. Left would turn left and right would turn right. Of course maybe it’s backwards in Canada. 😀😀. Great video! Love the transitioning.

Sometimes the chute will only turn side to side and will not lift up and down. Is there any fix for that?

Your knowledgeable friend and you did a great video! Very clever to mark the positions. When I look the weather in your video, it seems I can see the next day forecast for me in Québec! Seems the cold will stay for a few days.

Your video keep me cool, today it's 40c with the humidity index,,, and we are the 5 of Sept,,, Oufff !!!

Loving all your in depth videos. Happy new year to you and your family!!!

Do u recommend the manual chute vs others? Seems simple and more reliable

The pin location is 180 degrees to the other augers sheer pin location; so unless you blow two, it's easy to locate. Use a small punch to locate, then a rubber hammer to push out the bolt portion still in the auger shaft. I guess I've gotten too good at it; GRAVEL DRIVEWAY!!! Thank you for sharing.

You will love your tractor more once you put on a Curtis Cab!

I use fluid film on my blower hydraulic motor that rotates the chute. Works good in the cold.

Minus 37 ??? It gets that cold in Central Ontario? Boy that is cold. But you don't seem to skip a beat because of it.

Enjoyed this video GP , Guy is a pretty good guy to have around ain't he? Those witness marks will save lots of time when you are out along the road with a broken shear pin. A tote bag with extra pins, hammer and punch and wrench is a must in winter time when shear pins are involved. Thanks for sharing.

Hi I’ve had the same blower on my Kubota for 13 years I spray wd at the beginning of the season and let the snow lubricate it all winter never had any issues.

If you switch your blower chute hoses pushing to the right the shoot will go right Pulling to the left your suit will turn left on your loader joystick

another great video Thanks!

Hey GP, long time follower. Hope your covid experience is getting better. I have a question. I have a B2601 (tons of your videos is the reason why) I want to install a snowblower. You’re running a lx2980 on your LX2610, do you see any reason I couldn’t run the same lx2980 on my b2601? Dealer quoted me on it and I’m thinking about going that route. But the dealer would rather me buy the 55” commercial B2822A…. But I know I want to upgrade like you did to the LX2610. Only downfall is the quick hitch and drive for the snowblower won’t switch over. But the snowblower will🤪 Get well soon my friend. 🥂

More is not always better with grease in the winter. At least it was not regular gease

i was wondering if grease made for snowmobil would work since they are made for low temperature use.

Hi in the manual that I have for the blower it says to use chain saw lubricant on the chain every 4 hours . I use a winter grade in an oil can , this would be cheaper than the spray oil that you use. I hope this is helpful.

If you reverse the hydraulic hoses on the chute would that make it rotate more intuatvely?

The b 2782 is a nice blower but they could have put a lot more thought into changing the auger shear bolts, especially the left auger. I've changed dozens of them and curse Kubota (or whoever makes it for them) every time. At least with the right auger you only have to hold it against the outer bearing and rotate it til you find the pin hole which is a pain in itself whereas the left auger is floating between the inner and outer bearings, so you have to try and hold it using the paint overspray as a half ass guide and then rotate it til the holes line up, all the while trying to see the remainder of the old shear bolt through the gobs of grease to be able to drive it out, even with a mark on the shaft it's a royal pain in the ass, especially when its 10 degrees out. When I have to change one I lift the blower as high as it will go then drive it up on a couple car ramps, makes it a lot easier, especially on the back and knees.

Noticed that your chute rotates very slowly compared to mine. I was trying to determine a way to slow mine down. Did your come this way or did you make an adjustment?

good job where r u at
