Snowblower Lift

Recommended Posts

arminer8

I have a Snowblower problem, well kinda. Every time I get into snowplowing, which has been a lot today because of the storm, the lift bar to lift the blower up off the ground, breaks through the pin on the bottom of the blower, causing the blower to fall to the ground, which is an obvious problem. It's so aggravating, I finally quit just shoving pins through the connection, and am worried that if I shove stuff in there just to get through the storm, it will eventually break the connection piece, which is attached to the blower, out the bottom, as it has already started to break through. I can't fit a bolt through it, and I can't get it welded until after the storm. Any ideas and what have you guys done in the past? A cotter pin worked great up until now, and with all the heavy snow running through it and sitting on the blower housing, it gets heavier than what the pin can hold, and snaps. I know the picture is a little blurry and hard to read, but the circle is where I am having problems. I just need a quick fix, but won't wreck it completely and beyond repair! Please help!!

You may have the bar on the pin upside down. The lift bar should push up against the bend at the top of the pin. Not down against the cotter pin.

I had the same problem years ago. I took the biggest nail I could find (probably a 16d.) and hammered into a Z around the pin. I check it every year when I put the blower back on. So far I haven't had to replace that nail.  Does that help?B)

Take a look at the cover of this manual. The lift tube is installed upside down in the illustration.

 

 

The 920013 flat washer is a 5/8" SAE flat washer. (.656" hole and 1-5/16" OD)

The 932034 cotter pin is 3/16" diameter x 1" long.

Thanks guys! I found out that it was upside down, and now I feel stupid because I didn't see that before, pretty obvious! Thanks, Alex

      Toro - WheelHorse SnowBlower fits “XT” Models.  Model 79483 Serial 240000164. In great shape, has high chute, wide kit installed and has belt.  Skids show little to no wear, so I’m guessing not used much.  SnowBlower only.  No mule drive or lifting hardware.  
      $250/BRO

      You pick up, as I cannot deliver. 
      Lot's of fun to clear a sidewalk in one pass or driveway in just a few.
       
      I have the manual, belt and attachment parts that go with it but are not pictured. All are in good working order.

      I am moving to town so am willing to do a partial trade for a wheelhorse more approproiate for a suburban lot- lawn ranger, surburban models, bcs walking tractor, other?
      I could possibly deliver or meet half-way or ship.
       
      Both tractors run great and are in good working order. Second owner of both machines. I work with these machines everyday so they are not perfect but are, in my opinion, in excellent shape.
