Re: Old Toro 7/24 - replacing the impeller bearing

Thanks for all of your helpful advice. In the end, after trying everything, the key was finally removed with a hammer, chisel, and a big pair of wire cutters (for leverage). It was pretty banged up when it finally came out, and I've ordered a new one which I'll install later this week (before a really big snowfall this weekend).

Can the keyway be yanked out with plyers? Do you know how the keyway is put back in? With a hammer? |

Old Toro 7/24 - replacing the impeller bearing

I am having difficulty accessing the impeller bearing of an old Toro 7/24 snowblower (serial number 38050). I cracked the machine into two sections and removed the pully from the impeller, to expose the end of the impeller shaft (please link to the below photo). As seen in the photo, there is a small, long, rectangular piece of metal stuck to the shaft. I would like to slide the old impeller bearing off of the shaft, but can't because of this small, long, rectangular piece of metal. Any advice from someone who has dealt with this type of problem before would be really appreciated. http://www.flickr.com/photos/56659718@N07/5233026762/

Vintage Toro 7/24 snowblower - gear problem

My 30 year old 7/24 Toro snowblower (Model 38050) won't go forward in 3rd gear. I have tinkered with the friction wheel and can't seem to fix the problem. For example, when the friction wheel is positioned equally from a) the friction disk and b) drive pulley, none of the three Forward gears will engage, but the two Reverse gears work fine. When the friction disk is positioned closer to the drive pulley, all of the Forward gears will engage, but then the 1st gear for Reverse doesn't work. I have decided that the best "compromise position" for the friction wheel is one where I can use the 1st and 2nd Forward gears (but not the the third) as well as both Reverse gears. The friction wheel seems OK (there is still a good deal of rubber on it) so I am not sure what is going on - grateful for any advice that anyone might have.
