- a friend was cleaning out under a barn and had these two ariens snow blowers that would not work any more so he offered them to us. lets see what was wrong with them and if we can fix them cheap,
Watching my husband yell at the screen, "it's at the front, look at the front, you missed a bolt" and then you say Why didn't you guys tell me? He yells, "I did!!" Priceless entertainment for me...💛💚💜💙
Sunday morning, coffee, and Mustie! Great way to start the day!
I lived for over 70 years with the firm belief man was not ment to live where a snow blower is needed. Thanks for the video.
A cold beer in hand and a new mustie1 video on the screen, life is good.
Proud of you for giving them away.... and not surprised ! Congrats for your generosity !
Not sure if anyone caught it, but the first blower you worked on with the serrated augers, the augers are on backwards. If you look while it was spinning, it would be pushing snow outwards, instead of bringing it in towards the center. Also, the serrations are supposed to face sharp side down if you're looking at it head on. Those are made to break up hard packed snow and small ice chunks. Other than that, your videos are just relaxing to watch. Love it!
The wheel fix for blower #2 was sheer brilliance.
Another classic Mustie repair video! I can't get enough of them after all these years. Thanks for all you have posted for us and take care!
My best show to watch seems like your right in his garage standing right beside him !
If you need a small brush, next time you are in the health section of your local store check out the dental supplies for something called a Proxabrush. They are for cleaning between the teeth. There are several sizes from very tiny to just tiny. I use them all the time for cleaning things like air brushes and carb jets. Inexpensive and handy. Thanks for allowing us into your shop every week and best wishes from North Carolina farm country.
If you put float bowl rubber gaskets in the freezer for 4-6 hours they will shrink back to or near the original shape. You can install the float bowl while the gasket is still contracted and get a good seal. The bowl and carb base will hold it in shape as it warms back up.
Not going to lie, I found your channel a couple years ago when my wife and I first started talking about moving from Phoenix to Maine. She asked me why I was watching your stuff and I told her, "If we're going to live in Miane I gotta know how to fix chainsaws, and snow blowers and stuff like that." (I'm a half-ass'd fair weekend mechanic anyway, but I'd never worked on a chainsaw or snowblower) Now, we've been in Maine for a year now. I have 1 new snowblower because we moved here in the winter and I just needed one that worked, and I've fixed 3 others for other people, and there's 2 chainsaws out in the garage that I gotta work on once it warms back up.
Always laugh when Mustie uses Taryl for a piss cup 😂
I have a 1977 John Deere 832. My dad bought it brand new in 1978 and whilst it’s not perfect, it’s hella better quality than the new ones. I have to fix something on it almost every year, but it’s hard to justify replacing it with the little snow we get in Iowa now. This year, I haven’t needed to run it. We’ve gotten such small amounts at a time that I’ve used my “Man Plow” snow shovel.
I was donated a free unworking machine similar to your two. I didn't have a donor machine but it cost probably under five hundred bucks to replace missing or broken parts. The machine now works great, although it is temporarily off line until I get around to repairing/replacing the ignition system which seems to have failed. The biggest expense and trouble was the replacement of the worn out drive axle bushings.
I’m glad you don’t assume that everyone has watched all your previous videos and you keep going over the basics for people who might be watching you for the first time
Excellent step-wise instruction, as always. Best part of the video is your statement at the end that you’re giving these away to folks who need them. You’re a good man, Darren.
I would suggest everyone pick up spare cables for their machines. At least on Ariens, the eyelets at the end are pot metal. Guess when they will break? Last year mine broke, called the dealer, he said "We stock a ton of them, they all break". They are not going to break in August, they are going to break in the winter when you use the machine. You are only going to use the machine when you need it. I ended up making a 20 mile round trip for the cable. I then ordered some off of Amazon just in case.
Ah another great Sunday morning with a Mustie1 video
I am here for the information. Just picked up a free snow blower yesterday. I am using every second of this video to help get it running. Thanks, Mustie1.
