Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on RU-vid and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on RU-vid to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Hey Dony, I noticed in this vid that this machine moves too slow in reverse and too fast in low gear, can you do a friction wheel alignment vid?

@donyboy73 Год назад

You need to watch this video here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IeWqdMgvEsc.html

@sontwo3948 3 года назад

Love Don's videos. Did not yet need to replace belts, but now understand how it all works, and was able to clean friction disc and adjust cables so my gears shift smoothly again, and wheels turn at the correct speed. As good as taking a class in snow blower repair ! Really meticulous camera quality. Thanks !

@michaelhart738 10 месяцев назад

I have the Craftsman, 30 inch, two-stage machine and I'm in the process of replacing both belts, cleaning everything and greasing up the drive system. Had I NOT watched this awesome video, I would have never even though about dropping that belly pan for easier access to the pulley and belts. I'm going to replace that torsion spring on the auger pulley. Picked one up on Ebay for 8 bucks. This ONE video has shown me MORE about the dynamics involved with the belt replacement as well as the machine's need for proper lube and adjustments than any other vid posted thus far! Thank you for taking the time to show us how it's done!

@lenjones39 Год назад

Thanks....it couldn't be any easier to do, the way you explain it. Thanks for showing us the parts numbers. Great video. I like the way you talk to us. In a normal voice. In a lot of videos, the person is yelling at us. They don't use their everyday voice. Again thanks.

@rsauve999 7 лет назад

Just helped my son with his Poulan. We followed your instructions for changing the traction belt. Worked like a charm. We also replaced the drive pulley, since the spring let go & damaged the old one. Many thanks donyboy! Bob in Nfld.

Excellent video. We were able to replace a broken auger belt thanks to you.

@rogercrane8994 6 месяцев назад

Don, these days there is much talk about quality. We have quality people, quality time, quality lifestyle even quality instruction and help aids. As a famous judge once said, "Don't ask me to define quality. I know it when I see it." And see it I did, in your belt changing RU-vid clip. It is outstanding! As a retired university prof having very poor almost nil mechanical skills, your clip save me hours of time, money and best of all frustration. Your fix and repair clips are outstanding ... absolutely outstanding. Thank you ever so much. Roger Crane, Mallory Beach, South Bruce Peninsula, (Wiarton), Ontario

@RobMarriage 4 года назад

I'm so glad I watched your video. Half way through changing the belts on my snowblower in the freezing Western New York weather (they never break in the summer, do they), I thought "I better make sure I'm doing this right." I set down the blow torch and and sledge hammer and came inside. Seriously though, I was just about to remove the entire front end. Thanks again!

Hey man, your video Saved Me A Bundle. My MTD blower tried to swallow a collapsable lawnchair that had tipped over and was hidden under the snow. Getting the chair out of the auger was a bitch, but nothing went around when I fired up the engine and pulled the auger handle back. Thanks to your video I investigated and found the auger belt had just slipped off the big pulley. And you're right, getting it back on from above is about impossible because of the little guide toward the bottom of the big pulley. I got this snowblower for free from an older friend who found using the machine to be difficult for him, and I really didn't want to spend a bundle getting it repaired. Thanks a million, or least a couple hundred. Dave in Bend Oregon

@patmcmanus5065 3 года назад

Tremendous video. My wheel drive belt broke a few days ago and this video help me replace and fix the problem without a glitch. Thanks so much.

@davidronson8712 5 лет назад

My new Yardworks stopped blowing snow and I saw smoke coming from the belt area and smell, now after watching this I will open the cover to see what's going on, I was sure there is a clutch somewhere , thanks GOD that you have this video, I can fix whatever is the problem but first I want to make sure the auger is not jammed which I think it is, luckily I have another Yardworks 5 years old that did the job today, but we just started the Canadian winter and I want to be ready. thanks a million, thumbs up.

@crestongaither4824 3 года назад

Excellent video. I did the job yesterday & did the cleanup this morning.This video helped a lot. Blower seems to run fine (though as yet I have no snow to test it on). One trick I discovered on my MTD-made Craftsman blower may not work for all models: the pulley comes apart & goes back together again easily, which makes belt removal & reinstallation easier. Thanks again for this video -- my owner's manual says drive belt replacement is too difficult for owners and says an authorized shop should do it. But it really WASN'T such a big deal.

@hatfieldhouseonhibernia3351 4 года назад

Wow. Fantastic video. So clear and conscious of all aspects of the job. didn't think I'd be able to fix this myself but after seeing your video I'm going for it. Thanks so much!

@sjs2657g 7 лет назад

Dony, @ 6:22 when you are pulling on the idler pulley, I found it much easier to slip a plastic tie around the pulley and pull on the tie instead of the pulley. It frees up much more room to maneuver the belt into place. If you use two that are interlocked into a figure eight, that works even better with even greater room and leverage.

@Vankaner Год назад

Nicely done. Thanks for posting videos to show us how to keep our snowblowers going. Much appreciated.

@kevinmartin4867 2 года назад

Thank you Dony for this video. I was able to change both belts, never having done that job before. And thank you for teaching us the safety things, so we can do the job with confidence!

I just started working at Sears as a small engine mechanic doing in home service. I love this job and line of work. I used to be an aircraft mechanic in the military. I like how you have your own little shop. That is a dream of mine one day, to make a business out of it. Where did you learn and train to eventually go on your own? You have a lot of knowledge and very professional.

@semco72057 7 лет назад

I love that demonstration of how to put the belts on and you do a great job with each video and even though I don't have a snow blower since I am in Arkansas, there are many in many states and provinces who need this information to repair their own equipment.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - My snowblower is 10 yrs old. Just replaced the belts, This video Really Helped. The drive belt was pretty good except being a little stretched. The auger belt was like a tank tread in the inside, there was cracks between the treads and stretched. Thank You !

@williammacpherson4004 6 лет назад

excellent video Dony, I will purchase the belt through you for sure as I wish to support the free video that you provided, otherwise I would have fumbled with the online manual. Thanks, Bill

@sjs2657g 7 лет назад

Thanks Dony. I have the same type, but a different brand [Chicago Machinery]. Several years back my snowblower chewed up it's auger belt. I went to replace all the belts [it has 2 auger belts] but they were worn so bad that the belt numbers were no longer visible. It took several hours and two tries to get the correct fitting belts. As they stretched so that their used length wasn't the same as the new length. The point is, if you spend 5 minutes to take off the cover and write down the numbers of ALL your belts [magic marker], it could possibly save you a lot of time when they do break.

@sixstring215 2 года назад

Fantastic video 👏🏼

@Polydeukes68 Год назад

Thanks Don, good video. And also the auger belt one. 👍🏻 I haven't used my Yardman (The model is 31AY95KV643.) snowblower much over the years but after 10+ years it has all the symptoms of slipping belts. It doesn't want to go very easily, often needs a push if there is any irregularity on the ground. When its moving it goes ok though. Also the auger is blocked very easily in any kind of snow. Today I even smelled the belt while trying to use the blower and it was blocked maybe the 30th time today. I saw the impeller trying to move but it couldn't before I dug all the snow out. And when it blows it blows weakly, only couple of meters away. Few years back it was still really strong. The motor runs great, I believe its fine. My problem is that I have difficulty in finding the correct belts for it though. The brand was very briefly sold here and nobody knows what belts are correct for it. Everybody just wants to sell me a new blower instead. And I haven't found a parts list for it yet. Any tips for the correct part numbers or belt specs? Anybody?

@richardiwankow4765 Год назад

Having same problem. Model number 31be5b3h515 it has 060-3758-0 below that. Its a 30" yardworks 10.5 hp. Same as the one in vid. Cant find a manual or parts list. Any luck?

@18habs 5 лет назад

Don, you’re videos are well done and informative. I have a 2014 MTD 33” 357-cc two-stage snowblower that has been used less than 20 times. When I put it in any forward gear, the snowblower moves 10 to 20 feet before it starts slowing down and, without moving the shift lever, starts going backwards. Can you explain how I can fix this problem?

@EuropaMan 5 лет назад

Is the procedure the same to replace the auger belt? Excellent video and well explained. I will be removing the plastic cover tomorrow to check mine. I got a small triangular shaped piece of wood stuck in mine a few days ago and it must have blew the belt. Thanks again.
