I think it's because of you and your videos that I've grown to really enjoy fixing small engines. Sometimes I win. Sometimes I lose but the adventure is fun. Thank you.
Mustie I know you get this on every video but man, we love you. Your knowledge of all this stuff is incredibly valuable and without RUclips you wouldn't get to share it with us. It's like sitting in grandpa's workshop working on a project. Please don't stop anytime soon.
Love your channel. No boring monologues. No BS. Clear explanations and good camera work. Keep them coming.
My 'Laugh Out Loud" moment: "Who's your daddy?"... Only Mustie could keep a boy from the deep south (who will never need a snow blower or ride a snowmobile) watching an hour and eleven minute video on fixing one up! And yet, here I sit... coffee gone and a smile on my face. Thanks for posting!
notxarb21 and you watch and at the end you are like...where did the time go? It’s over already??!! No WAY that was an hour! Lol
Same here, coffee and all but I’m in north Queensland!
same here, even im from argentina so imagine that!
@@fedeperezko same here in Austria, but with a glass of white wine and roasted sweet chestnuts.
I'm originally from Rhode Island, USA just south of Mustie by 90+ minutes.. now live in N. Carolina (about 15 degrees warmer on average) and perversely .. somehow miss the snow and .. therefore love to watch snowblower restore videos by the MASTER..Mustie ...(did he copyright the phrase: "will it run?") I learn from every video in spite of dabbling in engineering in college and owning a few auto and tech based businesses. Mustie, you are smart, down to earth and ya got guts!! May your endeavors continually work for you! We, your audience.. are nourished by your content.
The stuff that people throw away never ceases to amaze me. Thanks for saving these things Mustie.
Seems like a very american thing.
@@BigPotatoChill I'm American and I fix everything .
@@dirtyroofer3678 so what?
@@BigPotatoChill Most werstern contries are like that cuz its often more expensive to get it fixed
@@BigPotatoChill well you made the comment that's it's a American thing , what do you mean , not everybody has a shop full of tools a and the skills
I have to admit that I’ve NEVER seen a snowblower with a drive axle that pivots like that! Nice job Mustie, you know how to fix em!
When that handle broke I spit out my morning vodka.
that was pretty funny. take it apart again. lol
Yeah right! LOL I nearly spit out evening vodka! Too funny!
LMAO
Hi Daniel Lewis I am one too !
hahahaha Mr Lewis , lol , you are TRULY " St. Lewis " (pun intended) :)
You certainly have a handle on these jobs and always manage to pull them off.👍
Buh dum tss🤣😂🤣👍👍✌✌
SON OF A G
Well done!
All the hours I spent watching Alvin the Chipmunks when I was a kid has finally paid off. I understood every word in the sped up section of the video.
You have to slow those sections down in youtube playback, otherwise you miss the code words for the prizes.
"Dr." Mustie.....workin' that carburetor like a brain surgeon....awesome....
more like MCGUYVER............
17:20 brain surgeon, lol
He is a brain surgeon. This is just his side line to feed his 14 children
@@charlesjordan4575 Thats how you do it! Always worked on my TV!
Locals know how to lure in wild Mustie1, just have to leave some free equipment on a driveway and wait for him to sneak up on it
They should start sending him their recordings of him rummaging around in the dark
@@datadavis hahahaha Classic props watching also :)
Steve Irwin voice- "Today we're on the hunt for a wild Mustie. We'll follow the trail of parts to his nesting area, or "garage". Crikey! Isn't he a beaut; look at that arm hair, just coming in for the winter."
🤣😂🤣
You dont have to speed these up if you dont want too. I enjoy listening to what you have to say even if its been said before.
I agree but the chipmunk voice is pretty funny too.
😂😂😂 I agree. I do get a chuckle out of it.
Render/Res conversion time for YT is a consideration
Agreed. Or speak at half the speed 😉
That pull at the end!! Lmaooo that made the video priceless! Thanks Mustie for the video!
Great job on the snowblower. I'm always entertain when I watch your videos and on this one, the pull rope got you in the end, it got me to laugh out loud. thanks for sharing.
At least the rope didn't get "sucked" in, right? :-)
the BEST thing about Prof. Mustie is this , he never talks ENOUGH !!!! unlike other utubers ( Jesse from Pure Living for Life ). Prof Mustie's videos are pure therapy , and are , as Jack Perkins from A&E always said ; " Time well spent " !
OHHH CRAP!! Musti1 is my neighbor?!?! and he got all my junk er I mean stuff? oh damn it!! and now he has it all running/working after only 1 hour??!! :) Thanks Musti1 for fixin' my stuff. :) you are the man
Laughing out loud on the last scene with the handle breaking. I guess you cant have it all go to plan
Nice thing about Toros is that they keep parts stocked for at least 30 years.
I was gonna take a break about half way thru. Now I'll have to binge watch it to the end for the handle breaking scene.
You forgot the “spoiler alert” caution. 😂
Perfect timing, l just made coffee.
Nice to see the old garage again!
I love the fast forwards!!!!!! I can’t stop laughing thinkin about the rants Mustie goes explaining things thinkin that it will be in the video just for him to fast forward through it. The fast forward pitter patter noise of his feet when he bounces around and then the high pitched “whew” of exhaustion. You are the best Mustie.
"son-of-a", THAT was my bright smile moment. Probably not yours, but ...
11 pm in nsw Australia about to go to bed then phone goes off
New video from mustie1 not going to bed now 😂😂😂
lol, same, but 1:15am here in NZ.
@@fireman257 you know guys, it's not like TV. These things stay on the world wide interweb for nearly ever and you can watch over breakfast?!?!?! LOL!
if mustie didnt upload at 5:00 am for me i would stay up. but i am a morning watcher, 2 hours late but i much perfer having acual frickin sleep ;p;
@@dangates2266 True but I've just come off working the night shifts so the body's not ready for sleep!
@@djaydeved
I had to wait tell afternoon as there wasn't enough time between booting the computer, preparing breakfast then going to work.
I enjoy your thought process. With miracle of video your finger healed up.
The "Wile E. Coyote" anvil is just perfect!
You've come a long way with your videos. Remember when you used to do the detailed work off camera, and then show the results? This was a really nice video, and well filmed. Nice job!
He’s back to it in a few of his newer ones
Brilliant....that lest 2 seconds though.....DOH!
well it was almost perfect lol
Thanks for taking us along for the fix and fun on yet another fixer upper “there’s your problem” 😆👍+ a bonus “blooper” 😆
I bought a home in Ct. thar came with a 10;year old Craftsman 8 hp 2 stage, 120v electric starter. I never spent a dime on repairs or parts except for new skids that wore out. . It would throw snow about 25 ft. It rattled, shook and screamed at me. During my marriage with that blower I probably blew snow of a total depth if 6 ft per year for 20 years. The last year we had 81 inches of snow. It came in storms that dumped sometimes 18/to 20 inches of wet to powdery snow. Don’t know who the manufacturer of the blower was. I complained every time it snowed about the noise it made. Sounds a lot like the noise Mustie’s machine makes in this video. I hated the noise but loved the results. I usually plowed my drive and the drives of 2-3 widows or divorcees that lived nearby.
Good luck plowing . Great video.
JoeB.
Best way to spend a morning watching this wishing i still could watch my dad in the garage work on machines.
Stupid handle! Lol
Son of Briskit!!! It is always fun to watch a Mustie video to the end to see what treats he put in there for us. Thanks for another great one.
Good job! Southern people should know that in trying the machine out Mustie was goin a little too fast for wet, packy snow. Then the pull handle broke.....precious moment.
You never disappoint Mustie!
Hey Mustie, All Toro machines can give you there age, within a decade. The first number of the serial number is the year of manufacture, i.e. an 8 will mean it was made in 78' or 88' or 98'. The first number is usually a little bigger than the rest of the serial #.
Those power shift with the Briggs were bullet proof. I really enjoy you're channel.
Bent Auger; “see if we can make that a little less lippy!” Love it!
if this channel was a show on TV everyone would say 'this is staged, nobody in their right mind would throw so much stuff by the curb and let it go for free". Mustie must be living in a junk picker paradise, given what he finds all the time. Here in Los Angeles machines like these will be in the classifieds for $40 and 'needs a little TLC' in the description. By the way, when you go junk picking, did you ever consider getting one of those mini hitch mounted liftgatesor a corner-mounted mini-crane for your truck? They can save your back.
Beautiful, ready for another 30 years. Saved from the scrap yard.
Lilly was thinking, "Oh boy... hes playing with the camera thing and talking to himself again."
She was also supervising during the metal work. She's the boss ahaha
I was sitting here watching the video the other day it occurred to me. Here’s this grown man talking to himself fixing stuff. If anyone walks up to him hopefully they know he’s filming a video!
Am I the only one who laughed at the end when the pull handle broke? lol
You're very systematic how you go about this job. Like the saying goes, "You can't beat experience". You can't replace an experience guy with a set of step by step instructions, even though companies have tried, and giving buy out to the most experiences worker. An experience guy has been there, done it, and save companies lots of money in the long run. Its the experienced guy who shared knowledge to so newly hired, so they learn to have that good foundation and gains confidence quicker when doing the tasks by himself. Having 37 years on the job, I taught and helped a lot of guys start out. None of that Knowledge is power and holding back on what you know, that's old school. Share your wisdom, we're all the same friends we have families.
Toro got rated the best performing snowblower when consumer reports and other professional companies did tests.
They're just so ingenious and understand what matters and what doesn't.
For instance Toro's no shear pins and a hardened gearbox is awesome!! And it works I've encountered it myself. Smacked right into a car rim under the snow I didn't know was there at my house. The machine stopped immediately no stress on the system. Started it right back up and on my way.
Anti-clogging system is amazing. It makes the snow lighter by recirculating some of it back in front of the auger. It makes it easier to throw, you can throw more snow, puts less stress on the system, the belts and the gearbox. Not to mention because it keeps recirculating the snow making it lighter and fluffier It allows you to go through thicker, deeper, wet snow easier..
Someone said and was incorrect saying Ariens throws more snow in Toro throws it further. If you look at the specifications Ariens throws 65 tons per hour, the Toro throws 2,200 lb per minute which comes out to about 66 tons per hour. Not only does Toro throw it further it throws more!!
And one more thing Ariens always talks about how it has thicker metal and that's what everyone says better made blah blah blah This is also not true.
Toro has discussed many times why they use plastic in certain places.. they claim plastic last longer, does it rust, it's more slippery so snow doesn't stick to it, in some cases plastic can be even stronger..
Same thing with the metal they use on the housing.. Yes Ariens is thicker But according to what I read Toro uses a special type of metal that is a lot stronger per its size. So in other words you can get the same strength with thinner metal if you use a certain type of metal and a process... It saves them money, you money and does not change the longevity of their products.. Not to mention lighter and easier to maneuver.
Oh and did I mention THE QUICK STICK!! SOME PEOPLE JUST BY TORO IS JUST FOR THAT NOBODY ELSE IS EVEN COMES CLOSE WHEN IN TERMS OF CONTROL OF THE SNOW EVEN ARIENS IS MOST EXPENSIVE MODEL THAT IS COMPLETELY ELECTRONIC!! The quick stick is amazingly ingenious also!!
Toro just seems to know what matters and know what doesn't..
A lot of old school guys favor Ariens That's just how they are no matter what.
OH ALSO DID I MENTION. IN 1951 TORO WAS THE FIRST COMPANY IN HISTORY TO MAKE THE FIRST STAND BEHIND SNOWBLOWER FOR THE CONSUMER!!
;)
You’ve inspired me to work on small engines and I’ve actually been trying to start my own small engine business with a couple of friends in my hometown always watch your videos to learn thank you so much for making videos helps a lot
I want to do the same thing. About 15 years ago I had a neighbor that worked on the neighborhood machines. Wish I could have picked his brain a bit.
Great Job again Mustie! Can really feel the pain as the handle snapped at the end of the video. Lol!
The worst part is if the cord disappeared into the recoil
I have learned so much about snow blowers from Mustie1. And it's very interesting.
I've never actually seen a snow blower in person. I've seen snow but in Atlanta we just wait a day and it's all gone.
And that only happens every couple of years.
It always amazes me the workable stuff our society throws away. The lack of a culture that repairs usable items and our addiction to buying "disposable" products is actually a crisis for humanity as it is simultaneously what our economy is based on. Economists talk about consumer spending as what keeps the US economy afloat while fretting over manufacturing job losses. If we simply chose to repair things that break (and buy durable, repairable products) we would be in a far healthier place both economically and environmentally.
yes, this is my soapbox, and I stand here confidently. Folks like Mustie1 and the many followers he has give me hope for our future. Every snowblower you repair, every tool you repurpose, every thing you don't throw away, is a step toward a sustainable future. Now if I can only get Mustie1 to convert one of his VWs to electric drive...
Priceless Ending! Nice to see it happens to the best of us!
After 2 days of storms and about 30" of snow in the granite state, perfect timing for a snow blower vid.
Just thinking that myself.
Aargh... yes indeed. Now, if he'd only visit...
Just snowed 4 feet here in the sierras. Had to shovel it all haha
The free piles in your area blow my mind. In my neck of the woods in Pennsylvania, people would want top $$$ for this stuff!
Very nice job. Only the experienced guys know where the common trouble spots are. The Toro beast lives on!
We would make gaskets from tv dinner boxes, because they had a wax coating on the cardboard box, it worked well until you can get the real thing, .We would lay a the cardboard on top of the carb and tap around the edges until it imprinted on the cardboard the shape.That was 100 years ago when you had to go get it at the parts store and hope the had it in stock.
Great video 👍👍👍
Great video. You have saved a perfectly good snow blower from being scrapped
Very appropriate video today...our family in Mont Vernon got around 23-24 inches I think. Hope all the Mustie crew is warm and dry.
Great video
use fish line next time to hold the bearing plates together. I used to use thread to hold the oil pan gasket on cars. The thread can be snipped and pulled out before tightening the pan bolts. I hated trying to keep the gasket aligned and the darn black RTV sealant would cause the gasket to slide around. I use thread on lots of things now. Fish line works but be careful if you have to pull it out against a gasket because it will cut through a gasket( ask me how I know). Regular cotton thread will break before cutting into the gasket. Should work fine for that application.
What a great tip!! Thanks....
Alternately you can glue them together with candle wax, it's strong enough to hold them lined up for mounting and vibration will quickly brake it loose afterwords. The residue is completely harmless, if anything it acts a bit like grease for a while (eventually vibration will shake it off entirely).
Do you have to take the fish off the reel first? Do you need a fishing license too?

A fine Sunday morning service. Father Mustie has saved yet another soul.
The pull handle busted, at least you still have the electric starter. Love watching.
Had me going there as I didn’t think you were going to show it in snow action. Love the ending 😂
Used to have a handle on life...then it broke LOL.
I'd buy Mustie1 designed power equipment. I'd know the thing would work and last.
Mustie1 teaches us as he learns. The Henry Ford we didn’t know we needed
fantastic video! I just got one and gave it to a buddy who deserved it and he is going to enjoy watching the video.
Thanks for this video. I've never seen a snowblower in the wild, so this whole device is a mystery to me.
LOL at the "handle's revenge"
It's a bum deal when the old ball sack fails to hold out. And removing that pulley! WOW! Nice work! You sure turned that into a nice machine, and for just the cost of a few parts. Top notch.
This was like a Florida appreciation video.
When confronted with any kind of problem, I think how would mustie
do this, and it works, thank you😎
This. I used to get frustrated sometimes, but watching Mustie never lose his cool made me try to emulate that attitude and boy does it work way better than cussing a blue streak bursting a blood vessel.
Always interesting, love the ending!
I’m curious... Is dirt monkey an upgrade or downgrade from grease monkey?
@@MoonsOfEmpire neither- not related in any way

Nice project, enjoyed this video very much.

lmao!
Perfect!
Notification squad lol just about to make a coffee and a bite to eat, now i have my afternoon viewing sorted as well. Great stuff :)
I repair band instruments for a living and I guess that’s why the stuff mustie does is interesting to me. When people are done with these instruments rather than put them on eBay they put them in the garbage. I have found trumpets, baritone horns, saxophones, trombones- just about every instrument in the junk pile. All they require is some soldering and maintenance. People don’t seem to understand that these instruments are designed to last a long time, just like Snapper, John Deere, or Toro product’s. Keep em runnin Darren !
Just incredible how you take a POS and make it brand new again. Great video Mustie thanks for the fun and thanks for sharing
I just sold one of those! I got it in the spring from a guy who was moving. The shute needed to be welded where it holds onto the top of the blower. The exhaust bracket needed to be welded as well. It sat in front of the welding shop all summer. Needless to say, I wont be using that shop ever again. Yeah I didn't need it but really? I half expected them to call me and say it had been stolen. I finally threatened to just pick it up if they didn't have the time to work on it. I put a new belt on it but it was factory. It didn't matter as I sold it. It ran really well. I just used the money for a new cell phone. I have a 1978 Ariens snow blower now that I need to fine tune.
Dont buy Oregon Carburetors by the way. They are no better than those $15 cheapo Chinese carburetors. I had to replace the carburetor as it was worn out. I had to tap holes for the carburetor cover and the float was way off. You generally dont have to do much with the $15 ones except adjust them.
Been waiting for the latest upload Mustie1.
Settling in for the 1:10hrs
Im so happy im not the only one with a bad bushing for the front end of those toro power shifts i learned so much from watching this video now i can fix mine up with ease
When you said, you felt like you were being watched.
In so many words, that is right.
They came a long way to find us, and they seem to like farm equipment but haven't quite go the grasp yet. 😮
So you are an excellent teacher, I am guessing if we need to know how there engines work.
We shouldn't scare them off, it may be another couple of long years before they come back. 😉
So glad I didn't have a mouth full of beer when you said "who's your daddy?"
I actually don't have time to watch this now I have to go over to my son's house and fix HIS snowblower
tough
Then you can come over to my house and fertilize the avocados
You are the best. I'll postpone just because I get your notice, your are the donut to my morning coffee. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Looks like great condition for the age and now good for another 40 years 👍
When you were hammering that piece out it looked like you were playing whack a mole. Lol
That ending...lmao. Go figure
Great to see the old garage again
Mustie, your channel is the only one that I can sit through an hour long video and it keep my attention the whole time! I have learned so much from your videos and recently bought an ATV and did my first carb rebuild. Thank you for the great content!
I wanna see how the deck came out. :)

I don't think they even sell snow blowers in South Carolina... I know for sure we don't see enough snow to ever need one! eh I'll watch anyways because it's fascinating to watch/listen to his methods of troubleshooting!
It would be interesting to know what the cost of parts was and how many hours you put into it
Right as i said "razorblade"! Mustie answered me "sometimes a razor blade makes it worse".
Mind blown!
😁
Me too. I thought he was reading my mind. But gaskets are purposely made to always stick on one side and tear so you knew it would have to be replaced as always.
I live in west and have no need for this knowledge, but here I am at1:46 in the morning glued watching
Dude....you are amazing. Junk to gold.
From the scrap heap to the second life at someone's driveway. Amazing how the world ignores saveable stuff and plunks down big money on new stuff that is not as good.
Old friend that ran a municipal shop saiid the same thing.
Very true, I can't imagine that snow blower was very cheap to buy new, and a new one in a somewhat comparable skin would be even more expensive....sadly in today's throw away society that's what happens, people can't fix a simple problem...i.e. they probably hit a rock or a newspaper that was frozen, screwed up the blower, wore out that bearing and stopped using it and went out and bought a different brand machine because that one was a piece of crap because it don't eat frozen newspapers and made weird noises from a worn out bearing.
i NEVER SEEN ONE THAT THE REAR AXLE MOVES LIKE THAT.
this was the first video that i saw that demonstrates how the shifting /moving axle works that's really cool
Nice fix, as usual.
Best thing, if own a snowblower, is walk everything you plan on clearing with it, just before ii snows.
Newspapers are deadly for snowblowers.
Big sticks not much better.
I had a 1333, picked up a large screwdriver of mine.
Lucky nobody got hurt.
That must have been a holy shit moment. I know the few times I’ve hit rocks with a lawnmower it was a bit scary. Especially the one that came straight back at me.
A pleasure to watch you find a lot of good junk 😊
Why are comments turned off on your last Ford Econoline Video? Is that on purpose or a settings mistake?
Most likely the latter, but it'd be worth hearing what he has to say about it.
:-)
My grandmas got a Toro snowblower from the mid 70s and still runs like a champ
Really enjoyed the video. Nice fix.
