- I picked up this Toro 1132 snow blower during annual fall bulk cleanup along with some other machines, lets see what it takes to bring this machine back into service and why it was thrown out.
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.
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.
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
You certainly have a handle on these jobs and always manage to pull them off.👍
Buh dum tss🤣😂🤣👍👍✌✌
SON OF A G
Well done!
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.
Love your channel. No boring monologues. No BS. Clear explanations and good camera work. Keep them coming.
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!
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 " !
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!
Brilliant....that lest 2 seconds though.....DOH!
well it was almost perfect lol
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
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.
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.
Bent Auger; “see if we can make that a little less lippy!” Love it!
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.
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) :)
I enjoy your thought process. With miracle of video your finger healed up.
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 :)
Nice job Darren. I LOL'd at the end! I have an older Craftsman 26 inch 6hp basic thing. Started to bog going thru heavy snow even though the governor kicked in and would stall. Compression was 115lbs. did a leak-down heard hissing from the muffler. Exhaust valve wasn't seating properly. Got new intake/exhaust valves,lapped them in,had to grind a bit of stem for proper clearance (0.006 I think) Wet snow would clog and get impacted between the chassi and impeller. The fix was using pieces of heavy-duty mud flap like from a semi and bolt them to the impeller and adjust so they barely touch the chassi. Now it throws any type of snow across the street!
Best way to spend a morning watching this wishing i still could watch my dad in the garage work on machines.
Stupid handle! Lol
Wow that cleaned up real nicely, it's such a shame people throw away perfectly good machines when only minor things need to be done to get them working again.
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
Really enjoyed the video. Nice fix.
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.
Thanks for taking us along for the fix and fun on yet another fixer upper “there’s your problem” 😆👍+ a bonus “blooper” 😆
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? :-)
31:45 air hammer with the pulley moment was pretty impressive 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
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.
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.
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!

I had to wait tell afternoon as there wasn't enough time between booting the computer, preparing breakfast then going to work.
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.
"son-of-a", THAT was my bright smile moment. Probably not yours, but ...
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.
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
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!!
;)
"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!
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.
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.
Living in SoCal i know diddly point squat about snow blowers but i love your videos because i ALWAYS learn something. Really looking forward to what's next for the Econoline. You've read this before but keep up the amazing work and thanks for the great videos!
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
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.
Priceless Ending! Nice to see it happens to the best of us!
Nice to see the old garage again!
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. 😂
You are the best. I'll postpone just because I get your notice, your are the donut to my morning coffee. 👍👍👍👏👏👏
Perfect timing, l just made coffee.
Very nice job. Only the experienced guys know where the common trouble spots are. The Toro beast lives on!
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 ridge on the back of the impeller is a good idea. back 30 years ago I had a blower in the rental we were living in that had the back of the impeller flat, and it clogged solid with ice constantly. I could use it for maybe 20 minutes then I had to drop the nose off, remove the impeller and chip out ice, then I'd get another 20 minutes use.
It's one of the reasons I refuse to buy a snow blower anymore, and just use a shovel.
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 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 !
Thanks for this video. I've never seen a snowblower in the wild, so this whole device is a mystery to me.
A fine Sunday morning service. Father Mustie has saved yet another soul.
Am I the only one who laughed at the end when the pull handle broke? lol
Great video! I have a 10hp model made in '97. Iced up the impeller and fried the drive belt. Nice to see what I'm in for to replace it. It's a beast to handle compared to my 5hp sears snow blower which is down due to the auger cable breaking.... It's going to be a busy spring..... If it ever gets here.... Loved the ending... I've never had a handle break, it's always been the rope....
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.
fantastic video! I just got one and gave it to a buddy who deserved it and he is going to enjoy watching the video.
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!
Just incredible how you take a POS and make it brand new again. Great video Mustie thanks for the fun and thanks for sharing
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?
JoeB
Great video. You have saved a perfectly good snow blower from being scrapped
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.
Very educational as always.. Thank you
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 :)
at 45:50...thereabouts....I recomend coating the gasket with a thin layer of grease before installing.......have been doing this for the past 40 odd years and saved the gasket from getting damaged on future service of the carb......Thanks for the in-depth vocal and video.
Feel like I am peering over your shoulders without getting in your way. Thanks once again.
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.
I think you need to re title your videos from will it run to another one bites the dust. Just love the way to get stuck in to everything. Not shy to do anything and talk out aloud which is great to hear the way your thinking. Keep it coming.
I'd buy Mustie1 designed power equipment. I'd know the thing would work and last.
As usual, a good job. I made some money on this repair. Thanks for the class. enjoyed it. Love your comments while working.
2:13 "Honey, there's a man sniffing gas outside" lmao
lmao!
Perfect!
Awesome video love watching your videos
Been waiting for the latest upload Mustie1.
Settling in for the 1:10hrs
The pull handle busted, at least you still have the electric starter. Love watching.
So glad I didn't have a mouth full of beer when you said "who's your daddy?"
I’ve learned so much about snow blowers. I’ve never owned one or even known anyone who has ( and I live in Canada) but if I ever need one in the future I have a much better understanding of their mechanics. Thanks.
LOL at the "handle's revenge"
I have a MTD blower and I borrowed pickle forks from Parts Supply and off to Franks Muffler Shop to get heat and beat ,it was a slow day so I watch 3 men heat that pulley red hot and pickle fork it 3 times before it surrendered so I understand how lucky you where. Love the personal way you make us feel like we are helping .
I wanna see how the deck came out. :)
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 would be interesting to know what the cost of parts was and how many hours you put into it
I’m a diehard fan who likes/watch’s every video that comes out and I can’t comprehend the amount of badass scores that you come across!
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
Mustie1 power equipment refurbishing videos are hands down my favorite thing on the whole internet. Thanks for all the entertainment and knowledge mang🤘🏻
When you were hammering that piece out it looked like you were playing whack a mole. Lol
The free piles in your area blow my mind. In my neck of the woods in Pennsylvania, people would want top $$$ for this stuff!
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.
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. 😉
That ending...lmao. Go figure
I live in west and have no need for this knowledge, but here I am at1:46 in the morning glued watching

Thanks Mustie for another fun time! That thing looks like new!
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.
Was really admiring this machine as I'm all up inside my Cub Cadet 3x right now, and while I'm impressed by its performance there's some really poorly thought out quirks about it. This Toro is a beauty of engineering.
Then I got to the last 2 seconds of the video!
Great find, great job. Thanks for sharing!
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
The tread on those tires are bad ass. I would loved to have those tires on my go cart when I was a kid. Coming from a good ol' Southern boy who liked to spend his time playing in the dirt. LOL
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.
Nice project, enjoyed this video very much.
cant unserstand you when u speed the footage up and you talk lol
That one came out nice! It's funny how some people give up on stuff so easily. I can't throw that crap away even when i KNOW it's totally knackered and completely unsavable!
