Replace Blade-Rotors

1st tip is that the parts do not come as a kit. You have to order qty 2 of the rotors to get a set.

1. Remove old blade rotor. Make sure you remove the metal spacer tubes in the center of the blade.
2. Good time to replace the scraper with blade rotor removed.
3. Move spacer tubes to new blade rotor and inst all on machine.
4. Rubber rotor is reinforced with 2 nylon layers that are not symmetric. Looking at new snow blowers the face that contacts the snow should be the side with thicker rubber.

Removing blade caused rotor to shift

Removing blade might cause the rotor to shift and holes not to line up. Loosen up the bolts on the 2nd blade. On the first blade the 2 center bolt holes should be easy. The outside 2 will be hard to align. Use a center punch to align hole and a clamp to hold in position. Insert bolt, it may take several tries as you find the proper spot f or the clamp to hold. Repeat for the other hole. Do not tighten bolts yet. Repeat all steps for other blade. When done tighten all bolts.

I bought a Toro Power Clean snow blower from a flee market for $50, new it would have cost me $650. It started right up, but it wouldn\'t blow the snow. I went on U-tube to figure out the problem. I saw an ereplacementparts video. It showed me exactly what I needed to do. I ordered the parts from ereplacementparts.com. Very easy to find the correct parts and I received them in a couple of days. I replaced the parts in about an hour. Now it works like it\'s brand new.

The snow blower wasn\'t throwing the snow as far as it use to and it was not getting all the snow down to the driveway surface. Also the engine ran rough because the choke lever broke.

To replace the blade scraper I removed the 2 bolts holding it in place and used a set of pliers to remove the tension springs. Reinstalled the new blade scraper without any problems. The 2 rubberized blades were held on by 6 bolts/nuts each. Those were fairly easy to remove and take the old rubber blade off and replace with the new one s. The old ones still looked new but upon closer inspection they were wore down by 1/2\" - 3/4\". This made all the difference in throwing the snow. Then new blade scraper allowed the snow blower to get down to the surface of the driveway and not leave any snow on it. The only problem I noticed was the choke lever. The actual choke lever is attached with a screw that screw into a plastic piece which is formed into the choke butterfly itself. That being said, there was no need to by a new choke lever. This is a bad design by the manufacturer in my opinion. Now I either have to by that part and tear the carb apart to fix or if I can\'t get just that part, then I\'m sure I will have to buy the whole carb as a kit. Absolutely No Problems with ordering parts from Ereplacement parts at all. I had my parts in 2 days and everything I ordered was in the box properly labeled. Definitely will order parts from them again.

Not throwing snow very far and getting clogged in deep snow

Removed old rotor blades. Two nuts were difficult to get at but could barely get a small wrench between blade and housing to hold the nuts. Replacing the same two nuts difficult to get them to line up with the bolt while holding them with a needle nose pliers. Finally got a slightly longer bolt and that worked. Scraper blade had carriage bolts and they eventually turned before getting the nuts loose. Tried heating them, using liquid wrench, drilling them, finally used a grinder on my electric drill and after 10-15 minutes on each head was able to pound the bolt through and replace the scraper. My snowblower was quite old and probably had never had the scraper replaced.
