What snowblower parts can I repair or replace myself?
You can avoid snowblower problems by keeping up with regular maintenance. Some DIY repairs that can be done on your own include frequent oil changes and replacing spark plugs when necessary. By keeping extra shear pins and replacements belts on hand all season long, you’ll avoid trekking to the store in a snowstorm for parts.
How often should you change snowblower belts?
If stored correctly, a snowblower can last between 15 to 25 years. However, the snowblower belts tend to wear out after 5 to 7 years. Squealing or slipping is a sign that your belt is wearing out. The auger belt on a single-stage snowblower also wears out faster than two-stage machines. When not in use, remove the cover and check for any cracks in the belt.
