Snowblowers

James v asked:


I am a pilot with a 2hr call-out requirment living in northern MN. I had to buy a snowblower to make sure I can make it. Is that deductable?

I have an 8hp dual-stage MTD snowblower (badged Snowflite) where the auger belt broke. There doesn’t appear to be enough space to slide the new belt between the gears.

What is the best way to change that belt? Most snowblowers seem to be built similarly. I’m guessing I need to take apart some of the gearbox, but would like to have a clue where to start.

Thanks!

I just bought a used Jacobsen Sno-Burst snowblower that is missing the spark plug. I’ve looked it over and can’t find a part number for the spark plug.

The engine number is 80 518830 if that helps…

Who even makes a Jacobson snow blower? I could call the dealer, but I don’t know who to even call.

i have a very old Troy Built snowblower thats giving me problems. it wont stay running on its own. i opened the fuel line, put new gas and oil in messed around with the fuel mixture settings after my first attempt at starting it didnt last long. i have to use the electric starter cuz i broke the string a while back. it has 4 choke settings and i have to use the 2nd setting (the 1st being full choke) to keep it running. but it doesnt stay running, it sounds like it dies then comes back. when i get it stable, i whent and plowed some snow but when it got a little tough, it stalled on me.

any idea what could be going on? i desperately need to fix this. i have multiple 75ft driveways to take care of and i cant afford a new blower.
