    1512D not running right

    Agree with the posts earlier, only to add that you must allow air into the tank. In order to draw fuel out air must enter or a vacuum will occur. When that happens the fuel pump will be unable to draw fuel. That is why the fuel tank cap must vent, if the vent is plugged that is the problem. I...

    When the dipper fails on a rod, 99% of the time it is due to a ding, a scratch etc. in the aluminum, which creates a stress riser. Found this out when I was in warranty dept. Here's another strange example, although not on topic: Snowmobile warranty work, techs pressed off defective track...

    European McCormick Tractor

    So were the European tractors engineered in the USA or in the same plant as they were assembled? Did they use local content for purchased parts...LUC clutch, Bosch electrical? I am just curious about these. Neighbor had a 454 which seemed very Euro, although I never got to drive it.

    #450 Snowblower Gearbox Removal?

    Honestly, I have yet to see this problem with my impeller (fingers firmly crossed)but it does cause concern every time I flick on the PTO switch Maybe Charlie can share the dimensions of that Kohler part for comparison to Surplus Center's? Might be the same dimensionally, which means no...

    David, The flexible drive disk was a real weak link in the QuietLines, I replaced mine in several with the stronger solid driver as you show in your pictures. Have had zero problems since, and noticed much less "wallowing out" of the fiber disk's 3 holes as well. Go for it! Steve is...

    #450 Snowblower Gearbox Removal?

    I am not sure if the gearbox spline is an SAE standard spline or not. If it would be, Kohler engines have a spline insert kit for engines designed to power hydraulic pumps, when using the pump mounting flange. No, not like a log splitter, I mean a true high displacement hydraulic pump. They...

    #450 Snowblower Gearbox Removal?

    I agree with Don, the spline is for ease of assembly, as well as suitability with other MTD products. That basic blower was used in all kinds of applications by them. I sure hope the gears are good! If the gearbox is not working right, there always is the chance of shearing a woodruff key...

    Art, What Don said! I think he is correct, having btdt himself. Don, thanks for 'splaining that problem. Any advice on repairs?

    #450 Snowblower Gearbox Removal?

    Art, Which gearbox failed, the primary one or the worm gear that drives the auger? If it is the auger gearcase, the best method is to remove the auger support bearings at each end, remove the auger gearcase support bracket in the center of the blower housing, then pull the entire...

    Just put one of those dryer sheets under the hood in late fall, and the enemy is kept at bay! Just position it so it doesn't go el-combusto!
