seven 202 #1 Posted February 21, 2019 Is there anywhere I can go to look at how anew one goes on it gets confusing as to how many wraps on the spindle ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 48,788 #2 Posted February 21, 2019 Best bet is to download the manual for your particular blower ..instructions on how to wrap that cable will be ther. It was either 1.5 or 2.5 wraps but I CRS without the manual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,033 #3 Posted February 21, 2019 Do you know the model number of your snowthrower? First models had the cable wrapped on the 1/2" diameter crank rod. Later they added a spool to the rod to wrap the cable on. Snowthrower DNA All have 2 idler sprockets for the drive chain. Started out as 37" wide and the added wings make them 42" wide. 1966-67 model ST-376 1968 model 6-1211 1969 6-6211 plus 6-9111 1970-72 model 6-6212 plus 6-9112 All without front quick hitch so not a direct fit for 1973 and later tractors. Snowthrower rear frame mounts in the front of the tractor frame using 2 bushings and a long 3/8-16 x 8-1/2" bolt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Front quick hitch introduced. Snowthrower rear frame has a 5/8" diameter round bar. 1973-74 model 6-6212 plus 6-9113 1974 model 6-6213 - (First model to include 8-0221 extensions without the front straight return - just a flat plate) 1975 model 6-6214 - (First model to include 8-0221 [103552 replaced by 93-1617 and 93-1617-01] side extensions with the front straight return. First model to have a cable spool on chute rotating crank) 1976 model 6-6215 - This one - 1976 model 66-42ST01 - and this one are likely identical. The model number format changed. 1977 model 76-42ST01 - This one 1978 model 86-42ST01 - and this one 1979 model 96-42ST01 - and this one plus 1980 may be all the same. They started using a different model number for each model year. 1980 model 06-42ST01 - (Last 42" model to use 4 grooved rollers for the chute) 1981-82 model 06-42ST02 - (First model to use plastic collar for the chute but was a retrofit for older models. Last model to use wheels) 1983 model 06-42ST03 - (First model to use skids) 1984-87 model 06-42ST04 - (Last model to use a 3/4" diameter driveshaft) 1987-89 model 06-42ST05 - (First model to use a 7/8" diameter driveshaft) 1990 model 06-42ST06 - (Last model to use chute cable) 1991-93 model 06-42ST07 - (First model with tall chute retained by 3 individual grooved retainers) 2002-2007 model 79362 Garry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 8,583 #4 Posted February 21, 2019 found using grass trimmer line ,to be a easier way to set up cable routing, I concentrate on 1st side of chute rotation, that will verify what is working. then I match the other side to it, and also change over to 1/16 " cable . while I am there its a good opportunity to replace the cable clamps with these ,https://www.zoro.com/blackburn-mechanical-conn-lug-20-to-14-awg-1-cond-adr21/i/G3294846/feature-product?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtbnjBRDBARIsAO3zDl_q8nd38jBob93VhbjGwOmh-X68ot8Qdeo_Z4MHKkVdfFXi16lGuIgaAtg9EALw_wcB , I simply drill out the original pop rivets, and use 1/4" bolts with elastic nuts to secure these, simple, bombproof. local hardware has these small lugs , much stronger than original set up ,and cleaner too. Use this time to lubricate any related moving part of this ,you could also die nut thread the end of chute control rod , and install a screw on knob . just my experience, pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
