Please check your impeller bushing. It is located behinf the impeller pully. It mounts to the housing. If you grab the impeller pully and there is up and down play, the bushing needs replacement.It is a cheap repair. You need to remove the pully and remove the impeller fasteners t oslide the impeller forward to have access to the bolts. If it i worn the belts can't be properly adjusted.

I am trying to follow what you are telling me, but I cant. I guess I would have to take a look inside the machine and try to follow from there.

No one else has any instructions on this? I cant find any on-line!

Toro 826 belt replacement
#3   Feb 13, 2009 8:21 am
I have an old Toro 826 that dates back to 1978.

I am assuming that it needs new belts (or maybe belt adjustment). Lately, it has not been throwing snow like it used to. Does anyone have any step by step instructions on performing either procedure myself? Should I replace them all while I am in there?

I did a search but could not find what I am looking for.

Toro 826 vs Yamaha YS624

Hello....

I have just found this forum and would like to ask a question. I have tried to do some comparison on-line between these two machines. But I feel it is always better to ask the more experienced directly!

I have a Toro 826 that dates back to around the early 1980's. It is in pretty good condition for its age, and has served me well. Lately, it has not been throwing snow like it used to. Especially the heavy stuff. I am guesing that it needs new belts.

I have come across someone who is looking to get rid of his Yamaha YS624. He swares by its performance. He is an elderly man and can no longer use it. It dates back to the early 90's. I have seen his machine working but have not used it. It does seem like a strong machine.

I have an opportunity to take it from him at a very reasonable price.
My question is this. Is it worth me taking the Yamaha off his hands, and then selling my Toro? Or, should I be looking at investing the money into new belts for my Toro?
