You’ve done this before! Every time I have the opportunity to do this, I just grab a new pair of skids that cost me around $20 on repairs. Flips I’ve been saving these…have yet to use it 🤣 I have ocd issues…I would have cut those ears off so it’s flat and then paint it. That’s why $20 seems more appealing 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Love proper hardware! Great fix! Like the Tygon tube tip…I just make a mess
Brother Ken, A couple GREAT TIPS on how to set the skip plates for the scraper clearance 👍 and how to save a few buck by just flipping the worn out skid plate 🤔😲👍
I find it easier to use my 48oz ball pein hammer (3lb) because it has a much longer handle and you can tap with more umph than a short handled hammer. Good work.
When I was at Jim Condon’s place a while back he had a manual metal brake from Eastwood Company I wonder if it would work on these skid shoes? I’ll try to find the link.

That is one nice ariens snow thrower. Great fix again on those skid shoes saves $20.
I can afford free! Thanks for watching!
Kenny - great fix on the skid - but we need to have a talk about the shop. I'll schedule a session together with Bruce. 🙂
Lol. I know where everything is!!!
Ken I'm just glad Claus hasn't seen my shop, he'd have a stroke 🤣
@@Big_Johns mine too.
Lol I had a newer Ariens on its nose today too. I did your skid shoe trick last year on a blower. May the jalopy I own. Thanks for that tip!
Thanks for watching and using some of my tricks! The old Ariens are round basket so a retaining wall comes in handy!
I have not seen that done on the skids. Great idea. Nice impact.
Make do and mend love it. Nice job Ken
The easy fixes are the best! Thanks for watching!
Looks like a 71 .. i recently worked on one of these ... great machine
Ya ran and functioned perfectly. Thanks for watching
Cause I like to use a hammer 😆 The hose hack is a good one Ken thanks !

Cheap is good! Hope you and yours are doing well Brother!
Good cheap fix with skid Ken well done.
Great tip Ken going to do that to my old Ariens
That one looks like a starter bolt off a small block Chevy
I think it’s the original bolt that held on the belt guard.
I got a old machine like that and mower deck picked it up last year
good fix keep up the good vids ken thanks lee

@@KensSmallEngineRepair That looked like at least 1/8th thick, you would need a fair brake to bend it.
Here is the Eastwood vise brake

@@KensSmallEngineRepair An interesting tool.
Hi ken top video
a little bit some heat aplied to said metal object makes it bend lot easyr just sayin
With my luck I’ll set the shop on fire lol!
The “new shoe” recycling at it finest
That’s what happens when it’s a Sunday and the snow is coming that night! Necessity is the Mother of Invention! Thanks for watching!
Good thing you never smoked you breathe like you ran a marathon
