Thanks. Good job.
is yours still working ? looking for a quality charger with adjustable amps
I found this vid on what led me to check my tappet adjustments which really did fix the starting issue I had. Watch it and give him a like etc. ruclips.net/video/zJlYQ19WBns/видео.htmlsi=Q_T3K5yPXoIArpWa
I have the same snowblower, but I haven't used it in two winters, because it refuses to snow enough for it in Chicago. And they're predicting an very mild winter for 2024 here, so I probably won't need it this time either.
Fan too small. You will have overheating problems.
It's a 3 speed fan and I run it on medium. Have run the generator for 2 days straight in the last power outage and it barely gets warm in the enclosure
I absolutely hate my Ariens snowblower. I was told when buying it, "it was sooo easy to turn, you can turn it with 1 finger". Yeah right! By the time I'm about 10 minutes into snowblowing my elbows, shoulders, and wrists are killing me from monuvering this thing. And it won't go in a straight line I'm continuously having to correct the direction. By the time I'm done it looks like a friggin drunk did it. I hate it so bad, I'm getting pissed off just thinking about using it.
the only time i’ve had pulling…is because one of the tires was low on pressure
adjust the skid shoes so the blade is 1/8 - 1/4 in off the pavement. place a shim under each side of the blade and drop the shoes down to the pavement. shim even higher for gravel.
@@robertdewitt625 Thank you. I'll give that try!
Awesome video! Also on the island and it really help me decide on picking up this machine for this winter seeing how good it handles the wet coast snow
thanks for this.... I'm new to snowy climates... moved from Arizona to Idaho. I have a very long gravel drive... and have been concerned about my decision to go with a walk behind.... vs paying a snow removal service. planning to buy this week. This is reassuring. How long is your drive? (mine is approx. 300 meters) How long does it take you? - Also... funny... my mom lives on Van Island.
Our drive is about 900 feet. Just a little shorter than yours. The biggest issue after 3 seasons is wear & tear from the gravel. Even with the shoes on the highest adjustment It will pick up some. I walk around and remove as many bigger (larger than 1 inch) stones as I can. But even small ones can jamb the auger and break a shear pin. Still glad I bought it. It has made a HUGE difference to our access. The difference was taking four hours to shovela walking access to between 1/2 hour to one hour (in 2 foot snow) being able to drive th vehicles to the house instead of being parked on the road.
@@TheAussieincalgary Thanks so much... was worried i was looking at 2+ hours to do ours... no idea how my brain arrived at that number.... but that's where i was at. and we RARELY get 2' in one go... so I'm probably on the shorter side there as well
Promo-SM 😒
Thanks for the great video! I'm looking at the ariens deluxe but Im having a hard time deciding between the 24 or the 28. How come you decided to go with the deluxe 24 over the deluxe 28?
I had originally though the bigger one would be better, and I suspect it may have been OK. However, even the 24 inch builds up if I run it in mid range speeds because of our wet heavy snow on Vncouver Island. Whereas, if we were still in Calgary with the dry snow the 28 would have been perfect. At the end of the day, with all the shortages (none available at all the previous season) this was the one available. Pretty happy with it. Learnt very quickly that the shoes need to be adjusted out all the way on gravel
Where u got the storage deal from
From Lowes Canada
mine failed after only a few months. Melted the flimsy terminal connects. Eventually just buzzed .
To be honest, when I opened mine up I was not impressed with the unit. I guess we pay for the nice paint and face plate lol. If I didn't need the higher voltages then I would have bought a better quality unit. You should be able to replace those or do what I did.
I’m building my Champion generator shed enclosure. I used exact aluminum exhaust tubing for dryer but worrying it might melt or would not last when running longer hours. Good to see your video.. It might work. How’s yours working so far?
The exhaust was the thing that took the most time to sort out and I experimented with a few different ideas. This tubing was the best out of the things I tried. I have it inside the other metal pipe as I too thought heat may have been an issue but it is working great. I can't believe the difference in sound by crunching the tube so it's like muffler baffles but doesn't restrict flow. I had seen people using cement board where the pipe goes out the plastic wall. I used the aluminized tape for ducting and have seen no warpage of the plastic. Thanks for watching and the comment. Good luck with yours.
it won't melt, wrap in in exhaust header wrap to keep it from heating up other parts
Update: used both of these on a 4 day off grid (no WiFi no cell service to keep flashlights, game machines laptops etc in the evenings. And as we only have the one deep cycle Battery for the trailer (most of the time we stay at full service sites) I was able to recharge with the Li-ion battery pack. Of course I used a DC to DC charger to limit amperage. After 6 hours charging it barely dropped half a volt whilst charging the RV battery from 10.80v back up to 13.5v. Normally I would have had to run the truck for an hour a day to charge it up.
Put some patio blocks underneath and raise it up.
Have since made a bracket to hold the exhaust end section 👍
HOw much cfm air flow do I need in the air exhaust fan?
I used the 10 inch fan because it was on sale. This is a 3 speed and I have been running it on the lowest speed. It still sucks air in around the shed lid. The air temp inside doesn't feel that warm even after running for 6 hours. I considered putting in another inlet but that would let more noise out and it does OK as is. I an 8 inch fan would do well.
The 30 is the model number. Not the amperage. I own the model 20.
Yup. Was a little disappointed when I found that out after reading the owners manual. Must have overlooked it on the website. Still, am glad I bought it. As far as Lithium batteries, it charges my 18650 pack vis bms but won't charge my Nissan leaf module either direct or via bms. (It may if I get the more expensive Daly bms) but I have a trickle charge for that. It charges the 24v battery set-up on my EV barrow really well.
Of course you can use hydraulic oil, either at 46 or 68. Most tractors use hydraulic oil for there gearbox and differential.
cool i see you had the same idea as me, pull the air through the generator
1 min fix once you get use to them 🍻
Of all the pins I have broken, this was the first one this year, although after the vid, the machine caught a fist sized rock that made it into the rear spoon area and flat out stalled the machine. Suspect the rock had rolled off the hill and was hidden in the snow fall. No damage found and ran it after work tonight .
I just Love Treehouse....👍👍
The best idea yet for in im going to do the same thing
Already used it a couple of times. The exhaust needs work, bit of a pain because it faces the rear. Will do an update when I figure something out
Why does your second video pick up halfway through the project?
Good point. Mostly I figured, as these are a pretty simple engine, and there are dozens of vid's on youtube there wasn't much point in showing it. Of course I have been doing this as my job for 40 years, so I forget that what is simple for me is not for those doing something like this for the first time. Follow he workshop manual. These are a good motor to learn on because for modern engines they are vey basic.
Your extra light look very good. Giving more vision in the night
Longer than our driveway, looks the same. Waiting to use my mid-70s 824, from original owner
Też mam Toro 824 i jestem bardzo zadowolony stare maszyny są dobre
hey nice job
I understand why they support the chute and auger drive with supports top and bottom, not to make them stronger, but they have to because they now use thinner, cheaper metal and plastic to save money. You can bend the auger with your hands! Those cables are also very wimpy and cheap. My motorcycles have better, thicker and beefier cables.
How did you get it down from the truck my friend? 😂 i m waiting delivery in 2 days for the same model.
how much oil did you put in it ???
Can't remember exactly, but around 2 liters (1/2 gallon)
Conventional oil I recommend 20 weight 50.
I just bought the same one in Ohio USA. Here Ariens has always been a well respected brand and is still proudly "Made In America" I have another Ariens from 1964 that still works very well. The auger, impeller and gear box are much thicker steel on the older unit but the rest of it still looks surprisingly similar. I just wanted something that's easier to use with modern safety devices. Hopefully this one lasts a long time too.
I just bought one paid full retail of 1 grand. You know, I could've gotten something fancier but you know what, quality matters. I need something that works and I've heard nothing but good things about this thing from everywhere I've looked. I live in a 1/4 mile steep driveway I didn't want gimmick. Thanks for the assembly looks great!
hey nice vid. new sub. seems to move the wet snow very well , my walk behind doesn't do aswell with the wet heavy snow but now we have the tractor it is not hard to move it . still waiting for the big snow fall , for some reason everyone else is getting or has got tons of snow. We only have had about 6inch at times so nothing as close to what we usually get. Glenn.
Yup, I had actually thought about getting one of these a few years ago, but was kinda hoping to get a subcompact tractor, then last year everyone sold out, so I made sure to buy this as soon as they were available again. Still hope to get a tractor one day. But in the meantime, this blower for the snow, and my homemade land plane for the lawn tractor will do for grading.
@@TheAussieincalgary what kind of tractor you looking towards. main regret we have is lifting max is 680lbs . was aware going into it but didn't think we would need more, boy was I wrong. though its small enough and light enough to get me in the spots I need it for . so thats a possitive.
@@tazzharm I agree, the low lift capacity does limit the machine, but the emax20 is what I have been looking at for the size (I want walking paths, not driveways hrough the forest) - We have 3 acres of trees (we like the forest look) and uneven ground slopes. Was looking at the 2220 Kioti, not much more money and has 1,000lb lift and slightly longer machine. Kubota is even more money but only has the lift capacity of the emax20. Was seriously considering the emax22 because it has lower center of gravity, wider, more lift, good ground clearance, but there is less room on the workstation and seat room than the emax20. I am NOT a small guy and my size 12 workboots get snagged under the pedals JD is more money, and the closest dealer is over an hour away. The emax20 is probably the best choice for landscaping, driveway grading, rocks, firewood, dirt, gravel etc..... or the Kioti if the deal is right.
@@TheAussieincalgary hey. in regards to your size 12 boods. I'm 6foot and have already bent the key a couple of times and had to straighten it out. my knee hits it as I'm getting out of the tractor so be mindfull of that, besides that its a good fit. to bad they put the key right by our knees.
Arien's POWER, love it thanks👍
Nice! This is the first video I've seen of clearing snow with a walk-behind. It seems to work pretty well.
@@TheAussieincalgary Yeah you want 6 inches, compress it with car, let it freeze and create a good strong crust. THEN you're good to go.
@@ToreDL87 on the steep parts or our driveway that would just be 6 inches of shiney ice here on Vancouver island, Which is why I usually park up at the road. The snow blower has literally changed the driveway (900 feet with 2 slopes at 25 to 30 degrees) for the better. First run with only a couple of inches picked up a fair bit of gravel, not good for the machine and paint, not to mention breaking a few shear bolts, with the shoes on the highest setting and at least 6 to 8 inches of snow it does great.
Ok everyone, quick update, probably get some video in late January or when we normally gt a deeper snowfall in February. Did try it out on our recent snowfall of about 8 inches...... the gravel is NOT a snowblowers friend..... broke a few shear pins....then a couple more. More than a few scratches lol. Found the steering does tend to wander and also found the shoes tend to dig in due to the open front of the shoe. Bought some nylon shoes that are nearly twice as long. Machine steered straight with the nylon shoes, but they are universal fit and the resr cam shaped adaptor keeps shifting, so they need work. May weld longer skids to the original shoes. Watch for the update.
Any updates on the performance? was it easy to steer? how did it do on the gravel?
I just did a quick update in the comments, but yes, found the wandering issues do seem to come from having short shoes that tend to dig in even when adjusted for more height
Solid machine, great choice! Thanks for the video 😊
Hey nice work! Looks like the extra weight may be helping. Thanks for sharing :)
I actually enjoyed your video. I served with some Aussie's who were in the Nam - great mates. I purchased this snowblower today and will probably buy the hand warmer kit for it due to poor circulation in my left hand. Cheers
I have been thinking about the handwarmer kit, but will see how it goes this year.
I bought the same one and I've been looking for a replacement spring and summer before I settled for the Ariens 24 inch It's all i need for my small drive way and I'm retiring old faithful after 25 years Craftsmen 9 horse it still works but has a problem it's an easy fix and it will go as free to a good home
Hey man. Sorry I just saw your last reply. That's pretty cool. Where did you ger the rear hitch?
I built it. I used old bedframe angle iron for the frame that bolts to the rear, the arms are steel from an old on-car brake lathe, the hitch tube and 6inch actuator came from Princess Auto. I have brass washers between the arms and rectangular tubing. The bolts I used for pivots have long shouleers and short threads so should last forever. The linkage contraption allows the hitch (and therefore the implement) to float as I have different contours on the driveway. Still raining, but will shoot video next time I am running it.
@@TheAussieincalgary That really is something! When I first started watching you drag, I wasn't sure that it was going to do much but it sure did a good job! And that switch/actuator combo is something Q would make for 007 on his garden tractor!
I just bought a new Ariens Delux 24 which has the led light by the controls and I want to add an led like you did. All the videos ive seen on youtube are older ones with halogen that require a bridge rectifier to turn the halogen to led. Do these new models require a bridge rectifier also? Any help os appreciate. Thank you
Apologies for the filming quality, night time, holding wih one hand and operating the machine with the other. Refering to being able to operate the machine with one hand and found the auto steering responded naturally to my gentle guide, it is also well balanced (I am driving it with the skids off the ground and still felt good) makes the machine fairly light to manouver. This was the first time I had engaged 6th gear, good walking speed for me. The video does NOT give an accurate sense of the difference in light intensity, plus when there is the whiteness of the snow it will be even brighter.
Nice job 👍
Wow that’s a lot of work. Your savings on labor is well worth your time Thanks for sharing I subscribed for more 🚜💨💡😁👍
I just posted the rest of the videos I have made since. Thanks for watching,
Interesting, but I would suggest to your viewers to disregard removing the battery twice a year to clean off the fan's center hub as I see it serve little or no purpose
Thanks for the comment, for most people they wouldn't need to. My situation is at the extreme end of what these machines were designed for. I have since found a long 3ft air blow gun that I use to clean everything out off the fan, Trans, mower deck, spindles and engine etc. I find the air much more effective than hosing it off.
Been using this the last couple of days with an inverter to run a oscillating saw to cut out water damaged flooring in my travel trailer (500 feet from the house, and power) started @14.6 volts, after approx 4 hours tool use over 2 days, only down to 14.4 volts. These modules can range from about 10v to almost 16.8v. (I use it between 11.5 to 15v which is the range that my inverter will switch on at) I had to disconnect the white balance wire plug when not charging as the board seems to consume power over a period of time (noticable after about a week) Edit: I have posted a new video using this in a case as a camping power pack.
I was wondering could I tap the K46 for plugs without removing the trans from the mower?
Theoretically... But too many risks. Even if you put grease on the drill bit and the tap, you could still get swarf (metal) inside. You may also nick components, there is very little clearance inside. Where I drilled and tapped are depressions on the inner side of the case, Made it easy to do. In the video I called the bolts, drain plugs, but they are actually Nissan torque converter bolts. Any short bolt with a broad head will do and use copper or aluminum drain plug washers. Nylon washers collapse over time, allowing the plug to come loose (same goes for your car, tell your service guys not to use nylon washers)
Hi great video, I have the same transmission in a GT48XLSI Husqvarna. Can you drain the oil and refill without removing the transmission ??? Thanks Friend
Unfortunately you can't fully drain the fluid. However, if you removed the battery, fan, pulley then the fill plug (the plug sticks in pretty tight and hard to get a screw driver under to knock it out) you could suck out a good portion of the oil just not all of it. You couId use a large syringe and plastic tubing, it would be slow but doable. For this reason most people opt to remove the trans and tip the unit upside down. I did the drain plugs because for me as a mechanic it was an easy job, I have the tools and easy access to components, plus I no longer have to remove the trans to drain it.
@@TheAussieincalgary Thank You
On my Murray, you can You just have to have a friend with a vacuum pump. But the best way to do it is to take it out. Split the case open and clean it.
Hi aussieonvanisle - I've never seen anyone cut a lawn tractor tire! We found your page a few days ago from a comment you made on GP outdoors. We would really appreciate if you would check our channel out if you get a minute! Thanks in advance.
