- I bought this snow blower off of facebook marketplace. The price seemed too good to be true. Was it, or are there hidden problems? This was a hand-me-down, he got from his father, so he paid $0 for it.
Thanks exactly what I needed to see to grease up the old noma snowblower friction wheel.....
Glad I could help
You made my day finding this DYI video for my Noma SB!
Thank you. Comments like this are why I post videos. You made MY day!
I have a Murray 827 just like it. Also got it for $25. Nice machine.
Best $25 I've spent
Thanks a lot ..you are such a amazing pro. With lots of experience and flawless presentation. ☺
Thank you very much for the kind comment
Excellent work on articulating the maintenance you performed and great quality video ! I have the same machine under the True Value Hardware brand (Snow Chief) manufactured by Noma in 1984. Only difference is the control handles, otherwise identical. NO everyone, I don't have the manual ! I don't believe one exists on the planet ! Have a parts schematic but the numbers can rarely be cross referenced. Most parts are available but it takes research and effort to identify the correct ones. These machines were made by Murray as I understand under multiple brands including Craftsman, Canadiana, Noma, Atlas and several others. They were produced through the mid 2000's. Murray is the best brand to cross when looking up parts. Mine was given to me free 12 years ago in pretty good shape. Didn't do a damn thing except carb adjustments and maybe some fresh 10W30 since. Almost panicked when I saw what I should do in this video lol (I know better). Still have work planned, will get 'er done. Long winded, I could write 4 more paragraphs. Point is they're pretty good and I don't like the modern 1200 dollar, plastic transmission imported alternative. Again, great video !
Thanks for the compliments and the awesome info you shared!
Glad to help. The best thing you showed was greasing the bearing and shimming it with the coin. Not many know of that fitting. Swells the joint like a tie rod/ball joint on a car. The most common parts on the Noma 8 hp Tecumseh engine/pulley parts are easy to find. Closest parts lookup for the Noma are under Murray 627804x6a or 627804x6b. Buyer discretion advised...
You have made an excellent video explained so brilliantly and user friendly. Many thanks. Cheers.
You're very welcome! I am glad you liked the video. Thanks for the comment!
Excellent video. I never knew what to check when I shop for these machines.
Thank you! I am glad it helped
There should be a small return spring on the auger pulley arm. It puts the pressure on the brake
Thank you, Arlen! I will check it out.
missing spring or just rusty. it looks really stiff.
I have the same unit since 1996 !
Awesome. Good to know that they last a long time
@@TheFixitShed Obviously proper lubrication is essential. I have acquired a couple of grease guns and make sure to change the oil when needed. Also put some grease on the axle shafts to keep the wheels from getting rusted in place. Toro and Ariens make rugged machines too but you have to take care of them. New ones are expensive!
Thank you for sharing, very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
That's in good shape ... You scored
Agreed! Makes up for the times I don't.
Nice video. I’d suggest pulling the wheels and coating the axles with anti seize. If you operate around salt and they seize on... Also the augers- make sure the augers have some play on the shaft, and that the proper shear pins are in place. Get some spray (lithium or whatever) in there. If someone replaced a shear pin with a grade 8 bolt, or if the augers seized to the shaft and you hit something- breaking that front gear box may total the machine.
Good recommendations. I will check those out. Thanks
I checked mine and it had a plastic bushing. Unlikely to seize but it does not hurt to apply some.
Thank you this really helped on the oil change.
Glad it helped
@@TheFixitShed hi where i can found transmissions part for the noma snowblower if y know please help me i have te same one
Unfortunately the parts appear to be getting hard to come by. You can find common parts, such as shear pins, cables, belts, etc., but a transmission part could be tough. I would check ebay, or try to find a junk one that someone is parting out. Sorry, I am not much help there.
where I'm at, you're lucky to get a rusty pile of junk for $100, lol.
One should always check the gearbox, at least on a machine you just got. I gave up keeping oil in my old Ariens(I think the stock lube is actually a kind of oil/grease mix), so I just pumped it full of grease. It's not like is a high speed precision gearbox.
Older machines didn't have brakes, but I think I see something on the top that might be one. Either way, it's not fully disengaging.
I had a brand new Ariens that did that. The belt guide was bent incorrectly causing the belt to grab sometimes. Because the blower had a brake, it made one helluva loud "bang" when it happened. Took me a while to track down the problem.
The wheel is actually the oil guide for draining, you just gotta put the wheel in the pan. ;p
I couldn't tell on that machine, but, usually, when there is a "freewheel" pin position, there is a second hole further in for "lock" so you don't have to pull the wheel out.
Looks like a nice machine.
Thanks for the insight. Yeah, I really believed there was going to be something wrong with it when I saw the price, but I guess it was just someone not realizing the value of what they had. I have to take a look at the brake, hopefully soon....
Augar belt and drive belt if you mention that's Great. Thanks
Good job
Can you please show me the gearbox lever direction coming out from the engine to hookup the gear lever (bar) to the handle. It's towards the silencer or gas tank.
Thanks again
I m sorry. .I it towards the silencer
Hope this helps. ruclips.net/user/shortscqoZq5CBNA8 I am still looking into the belts. I am having a hard time finding an answer I have confidence in
I am in the process of buying a Noma for $100.00 from my next door neighbor.
I've never seen it go, but it is a 29" augers, and a 10HP engine. What type I didn't take a look.
Thank you for your information and I will let you know how it goes.
We are only in June so I have time to send out for servicing and fluid replacement.
Thank you and take care...
That's a big one. I have only seen the 5hp and 8hp models around here. Good luck with it!
@@TheFixitShed
I had the opportunity to see it and fire it up.
The 10Hp has been replaced with a newer 6.5 Hp and it seems to be able to handle the weight and the auger.
I did take notice the brakes for the auger is not working as well, and it is a bit sluggish in reverse and moving forwards in 1st gear.
The rest seem to be working just fine.
So I will get it serviced and see how the 6.5 goes this coming winter.
@@TheFixitShed I subscribe and liked and I look forwards to future videos about other garden machines you may ork with.
Oh I finally got that snowblower out of the elements and into a shed...
And it still runs
Based on your other comment, I hope it does. :-)
Repower for 200$ in time , I buy Arians Snowblowers just for the chassis’s.
Awesome
Great video. I just picked one up, also from Facebook Marketplace. This is my 1st blower. Quick question? When I was moving it, the tires were hard to spin as if they were in gear. Is there a gear the machine should be on when moving it around without the motor running?
The gears shouldn't matter. As long as you aren't holding down the drive lever, the rubber drive wheel should not be in contact with the friction disc. I would take the panel off the bottom and make sure the rubber wheel and disc are not in contact, and also check the chain. If that is rusted up, it could cause a lot of resistance.
Belt sizes and numbers please....it's great video Thanx
My NOMA is a G2784000. I am going to assume yours is the same. If you Google search on "NOMA G2784000 belts" and click the searspartsdirect link, it should get you to the parts page for the blower. If you look on the parts diagram for the "Engine Assembly" you will see the belts listed as parts 57 and 63. Part numbers 585416MA and 1733324SM. I have no way of verifying if this is correct. Please check it out carefully. If you try them out, please post back in the comments and let me know how it worked out for you.
@@TheFixitShed Thanks a lot. .yesssssss that is right 👍
Hello sir I’ve been doing a lot of research but I can’t find anything ... I have the same exact snow blower... I need to replace the belt ... any advice?
Yes, parts for these throwers are hard to find. They were made by Murray, I believe. Closest parts lookup for the Noma are under Murray 627804x6a or 627804x6b. Buyer discretion advised...
Take the old belts to autozone they can order new ones
Carb adjustment
Probably a good idea
Auger does not turn when you squeeze auger lever any suggestion
If the impeller is not turning along with the auger, I would first look at the belt. If the impeller is turning, I would check the shear pins on the auger. If the shear pins are intact, it might be the auger gear. Those are the things I would check.
Good morning where do you spray starter spray into the carb if she won't start?
Good Question. It looks like you have to remove the cover over the carb to get to it. I haven't needed to get in there yet, so not sure what it looks like. Unfortunately, (if Big Apple Voice Over is an indication of where you are) we are in the same storm, and I am going to need to use mine, so I can't can't take it apart right now.
@@TheFixitShed I don't recommend using starting fluid on these small engines. Most often when they don't start with the choke engaged there is some other problem with the carburetor or fuel delivery. My landlord had me using it on his old Toro snowblower that had a lawn mower carburetor (no choke) installed by a neighbor because the original one leaked fuel. I wound up fixing it (bad needle and seat) and restoring the machine back to stock and it now starts on the first pull every time (no electric start). Good video shows how to grease that zerk fitting under the friction plate most owners wouldn't know it is there. That one hand lock piece is a pain in the butt on my machine it was jamming the wheel drive engaged at times. I removed it temporarily and have a new one on order (not cheap).
I have the same snow blower. I just installed a new carb. Runs good but no power when I hit the snow it stalls. Will not start with pull starter. I have to use electric start. Any tips??
Hard to say, but it could be a compression issue. You might want to check out his video : ruclips.net/video/OSN32jBReOg/видео.html
@@TheFixitShed you should check the governor rods connected to carb
What size is the augerbelt?
My NOMA is a G2784000. I am going to assume yours is the same. If you Google search on "NOMA G2784000 belts" and click the searspartsdirect link, it should get you to the parts page for the blower. If you look on the parts diagram for the "Engine Assembly" you will see the belts listed as parts 57 and 63. Part numbers 585416MA and 1733324SM. I cannot guarantee this is correct for your machine. Please check it out carefully. If that is not working, closest relative parts lookup for the Noma are under Murray 627804x6a or 627804x6b
I had never heard of this brand. Is it a really good machine? Someone is selling one for $150 locally and it might be worth grabbing it????
It is the first one I have had, and haven't had a chance to use it yet. They were made by Murry. The Tecumseh engine is a decent brand. If it is an 8hp 27" NOMA for $150, that is probably a good deal, depending on condition. If it is a 5hp 24", it should be in tip top shape at that price.
It’s the same as the one in your video. A little rust at the top when the name is.
sounds like a good deal to me, if it runs good and throws snow.
Back in the day, most of the brands were built by a couple companies.
Good machine if it has been cared for. I bought mine in 1996!
Do you still have the manual for this? I recently acquired the same model, but no manual.
I did not get a manual with it. My NOMA is a G2784000, and I didn't have much luck searching for a manual online. sears parts direct has a manual for a NOMA G2794010, which looks to be vary similar. The main difference being it has a 9 hp engine instead of an 8 like mine. If you search on "NOMA G2794010 manual" and click the searspartsdirect link, it should get you there.
@@TheFixitShed Thanks! Mine too is the 8HP version. Mines pretty loud, and the throttle doesn't operate smoothly. It's either idle or WOT. And WOT it's pretty loud, almost sounds like it might be over revving (but it throws snow pretty good).
Trying to figure out where the bar the connects to the throttle/governer spring should be, but need the manual, ha.
How mate is price that's Snow Blower?
Thanks for commenting. I am sorry, but I don't understand your question.
25 that's a still
Agreed!
Were do you get noma parts at trying to find them
I have heard they are hard to come by. I would try searching eBay based on the model number of the snow thrower. Sears Parts Direct does have a manual for model number S2794010, which is similar to mine, except it has a 9hp engine. I can't guarantee that the parts are going to be the same. Be careful when you buy.
www.discountonlineparts dot com/ has some Noma parts.
@@TheFixitShed Most of the parts for these machines made by Murray including Craftsman are still available through online stores and eBay sellers. The drive train is pretty much the same for all of them from 5/24 to 9/27 except for the augers and the auger shaft. There is a plastic brake pad that stops the auger drive when you release the handle and mine was worn out. The part number is 581540ma.
@@1575murray Thank you for contributing! Good to know. I suspected they were, but haven't been able to confirm yet.
@@TheFixitShed I wish I had a machine like yours as I have the 5/24 model. It does a decent job but I managed to snap an auger belt a few days ago.
My noma dont give a shit. Theres a reason it says "snow king"
