How to Replace the Paddle and Scraper on a Toro Single Stage Snowblower

Snowblower impeller paddles and scrapers usually wear out at the same time, and this snowblower
repair is similar for many Toro snowblower models.

I have a toro ccr 2450 and it seems like the blower is not throwing the snow very far and only spits up snow to the front of machine....what do you suggest? I just purchased new paddles/scraper/and belt do you think this cure my situation.

@pedraza007 That does sound like worn out paddles. As we mention in the video, the scraper tends to wear out at about the same time as the paddles. Replacing both should have your machine running like new again!

Good luck with your repair!

I replaced the scraper like you shown. Now my blower has to be pushed through the snow,the scraper does not slide on the ground. Are the paddles suppose to "Pull" the blower through the snow? I didn't replace the blades.. Is that why it won't "Pull" itself through the snow? Nice video helps out a lot. Thanks.

@rwwood48 The paddles do pull the snowblower forward. I would suspect that you are correct in your thinking that the snowblower will not "drive" forward due to the new scraper blade and old paddles. The scraper tends to wear at about the same speed as the paddles. The new scraper will be taller due to the fact that it has not worn down yet. The older paddles probably are not making contact with the ground due to this. A new set of paddles should fix things.

The paddles are soft black rubber with several plys of cording on one side. Does it make a difference which side the stiching on the paddle is facing during installation? Should the side with the stiching "bite" into the snow or the soft rubber side?

[eReplacementParts]

@markanthony53 That is a great question. You want to install the paddle so that the soft rubber side will contact the ground first. This protects the fabric reinforcement from excessive wear. Sorry we didn't mention that in the video. Thanks for watching!

Good luck with your repair!

That was on a 2005 Toro 38515 CCR 141cc 20" single stage unit

I stripped the bolt that you said might need a needle nosed pliers because, of clearance issues while removing the paddle, I also stripped the torx side of the said bolt (I used too small a torx tip). Now I'm stuck, a friend saw my "Suffering" and cut the worn paddle down to the stripped bolt, he then took a propane torch and on VERY VERY VERY LOW flame he softened the nylon nut lock and it unscrewed easily, he said Go and get the right "TORX" tip and 1/4 x 20 thread nylocks at the auto store.
