Hey Dony, whats wrong with a propane torch. I think you melted the pulley off with that thing!

I'm doing the same repair on my 724 and am trying to figure out which way the flange side of the bushing (auger or pulley side) so I would love to see part 2!

[donyboy73]

@pete55398 i'll have part 2 up thursday, part 3 will be up probably monday ot tuesday and it will show that

[pete55398]

@donyboy73 any chance I could get a early answer on the flange side? The old one had the flange toward the auger. I'm guessing that you install it all snug (auger/bushing/pulley)..boy I wish I had a repair manual!

[donyboy73]

@pete55398 auger, shallow flange, bushing, spherical flange, small washer, pulley

[pete55398]

@donyboy73 Great that helps out a lot. The part breakdown that I have shows a washer on either side of the bushing. Also the bushing has one side that has a brass flange and the other side does not..(I should have down a better job in explaining) does the flange side of the bushing go toward the auger?

[donyboy73]

@pete55398 i wasn't sure because it was all busted when i took t off so i put it toward auger

[shinyfuzzy]

where can i get those pullers

[donyboy73]

@shinyfuzzy usually at an auto store

What kind of welder do you have and how much current was you using ? I have that same torch bought it at a yard sale but with no instructions . This video is great I have a old Montgomery wards snowblower I got for free and it has the same problem but the bolts broke off that hold the belt keeper on and when I tried drilling it out drill bit broke off in side hole now I can not get it out.

[donyboy73]

@ncrdisabled a lincoln 225ac and the power was set at 90. i have a video called "demonstration of the carbon arc torch"

just sold the same blower that i found on the side of the road for $180 just had to replace the carb and points clean. everything was good except one tire was blown apart from too much pressure

Glad to see you showed that everything does not always just come apart when working on old worn out equipment. I really enjoy your real life videos.

[donyboy73]

@647762816 thanks

[wayfairing3]

Those pulleys are really stuck on there sometimes,I remember when I did mine,had to heat It up a few times.Awesome slack In that bearing.lol

[patryric]

I have a Toro 1132 that is 15 years old that I just bought.

I noticed, while changing the auger belt that there was some play in the auger pully bushing/bearing but not as much as the one you are working on.

I will have to replace it in the spring, hoping it will last all winter. This video will sure help me. Thanks a lot.
