Thanks to your channel and a neighbor down the street I went through my machine with a fine tooth comb (brand new Airens) and it's ready to go...the factory had a light film of grease on most internal components and barley any grease on the auger...
Greased up my Arien's augers earlier this month JB. Winter WILL hit us one day. But I just had to have my Saturday Garage Gear fix and re watch your video this AM. Those tips and tricks are always useful and helpful and hopefully will one day sink into my own brain. Also to wish you and the Garage Gal a truly Merry Christmas and Happy 2024. You videos are the most welcome gift in my stocking each week. :). Blessings friends.
You’re all set to go Joe! Winter will hit us… in May lol! This video was jam packed with tips for sure! Merry Christmas to you and your family Joe! Appreciate you stopping by every week my friend! 👍🤜🤛
After my parents married, I bless the day they decided to settle in my mother's home town (Milwaukee) rather than his (Buffalo, where you are). We still get some whopper snow storms but not the volume you get. I suspect the difference comes down to being west of the lake rather than east. BTW, this video prompted me to finally grease my Ariens' augers. Thanks, man!
Thanks to your videos my brand new 30 inch Ariens Deluxe is now so lubed up all over the place it is ready either for a Canadian winter or even a P.Diddy party. Thanks and sorry.
I really enjoy the videos; my maintenance and repair have gone a lot better. Thank you for bringing the fun and humor into these videos. Question on this video.... I've greased my augers in the past on my 28inch Ariens but I've never checked on the orientation of the augers before I put the sheer pins back in. What is the proper orientation or how do I check the orientation? At 5:16 in the video, it's mentioned when facing the front of the machine that on the left auger the edge toward the middle should be up and on the right auger the edge toward the middle is pointing out. Is that true in most cases with an Ariens machine?
Hey David! Appreciate your positive feedback my friend! We keep it real in these videos lol! I wouldn’t over think the orientation. I’m pretty my sure on an Ariens if the zerks are facing the the same way you’re orientation should be good. Thanks for watching!
Nice video. I always have a hell of a time getting the grease gun to work on my mower, maybe I’ll switch to those zirc fittings without the ball check valve, seems that they do stick quite often.
Great video JB!!! I always find out that there's something that I'm not doing to my snowblower from your videos. Now I have to do this to my machine before I get a snowstorm in Vermont. Keep up the great work. Come on 75k baby! 😂
WHITIE! Now ya know my my friend! Been a while since I heard from ya! Hope you’re doing well! We should be hitting that 75k in the next month or so! I remember you cheering the channel on at less than 10k! Appreciate you and merry Christmas my friend!
I have an ARIENS deluxe 28 SHO 2023 model and my dealer got it all prepared for me when it comes to greasing everything and oil. But obviously they don’t rustproof it themselves so I rustproof it and hopefully that rustproofing holds, i’m from upstate New York, and the snow here is unpredictable.
I was wondering if that new Ariens was greased from the factory or the dealership. You did answer that but….not to your standards JB! Great information as usual too! I wish the JD tractor snowblower had grease fittings but it doesn’t. I spray fluid film around any opening. Wishing you and the garage gal a very merry Christmas! Go Bills!
Hey Jay! All up to my speed now lol! Smart to hit yours with fluid film! That will do the job! Merry Christmas to you and your family too Jay! Thanks for stopping by every week! You’re an awesome fan! Go bills!
Another great video JB, I hope you have a Merry Christmas. Maybe Santa will get you lift for Christmas so you don’t have to bend to make these helpful videos. Can’t wait to see you send some snow through that Beauty!!!
I am thinking about drilling, taping, threading and inserting my own zert. Did it back in the Late 1950. es.. thanks I'll try to find the piece you mentioned.
Great video and tips here. If I ever get to use my Deluxe 28 I'll have to consider doing it in spring. Erie Pa.. 5.8" of snow for the year and nothing on the horizon. What is going on..........
Good morning JB! I found a grease fitting behind one of the tires, on the body of the unit. My question is what is that for also what about internal parts lubrication? I have the same blower just from 2011 30” platty.. she’s a brute, 16.5hp motor! Really wanna make sure it lasts! Thanks dude! Merry Christmas 🤘
Left/right auger orientation is a thing?? 🤔 I gotta take a peak at mine now. I don’t have a torque wrench but I always thought sheer pins should be left with a little up n down slack. Am I wrong here? Merry Christmas to you and your family JB!
Hey Apex! Best to just put them back the way they were! Some models this matters. For this Ariens I’m going by the manual with the torque setting but I agree with you I have done that before as well! I wouldn’t lose sleep or over think it. Merry Christmas my friend! 👍👍
I was unable to get one of the shear pins out, but greased the one side that i could. I didnt even think about it until now, but is there a right and wrong way to align the auger? Can it be out by 180 degrees?
Hey munday! There can be on some models. Check your manual and look at how the augers are positioned. MTD snowblowers can have multiple augers with multiple shear pins. You’ll want the augers to line up with each other.
It would be nice if you could order your new snowblower from the factory with everything assembled with anti-seize as needed. Just watched Donnyboy getting an impeller off a shaft. Been there-done that. Personally I think there is a conspiracy between my oxygen-acetylene dealer and the snowblower manufacturers.
These companies are cheaping out! Here’s a video to help you out mark HOW TO GREASE SNOWBLOWER AUGERS WITHOUT ZERKS ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zUCczWfEqnc.html
Damned of you do, damned if you don't.🙄 Still waiting for some snow here in Syracuse to use mine. Wondering if it's even going to happen.. Have a good Xmas JB
HOW ABOUT SHOWING US HOW TO REBUILD THE NEW GEAR CASE.ON THE ARIENS SNOWBLOWER . I HAVE LEAKING SEALS ON A PLATINUM SHO 30 GEARCASE # 52104100. THESE GEAR CASE DON'T SPLIT APART, THE TOP COVER COMES OFF BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO DISMANTLE IT.
I decided to do mine and after having done one it's not so bad. It's figuring out how to take it apart, once you done that putting it back together wasn't as hard , just a little bit of time aligning it together to slide the shaft in . Saved quite a few bucks from buying a new one. Thanks for your reply. @@GarageGear
