- WARNING!!!! DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO IF YOU DO NOT OWN A JOHN DEERE 59" SNOW BLOWER! All it covers is how to replace the cable that controls the direction the chute points.
Although I have the JD instructions, your video was much easier to follow than their grainy black-and-white photos. Also funnier. Thanks for saving me a ton of frustration!
Thanks, Greg!
I love your videos Man and when I say man I mean a real man not too many of us left out here
Not the normal video but Terry Hale videos are few these days ,I will watch
Thanks, Josh. I should retire so I can get back to making videos I didn't get to.
Perfect. Mine just broke yesterday and luckily I found you and will now save a ton of time with the repair. Thank you. I second the comment about lubing the pulleys when you have them accessible.
You're welcome. I appreciate the feedback.
Thank you very much for the detailed video. I'm a clutz and knew I'd have to do and undo the routing four times before I got it. Now I'll be ready to go when the cable arrives. Thanks!!
Thanks, Mike. Didn't want anyone else to have as much trouble as I did.
Terry, you’ve helped me very much over the years with your felling tutorials and others. Thank you.
Are you a college professor?
No, but I do enjoy providing classes on roadside design and guide rail.
Thanks for the feedback, Eric.
This was the most through and informative video I've seen in a while. From start to finish you explained every part of procedure very clearing and step by step. Oh yeah, this same cable routing works on the model 47 two stage as well, thanks again!
Great! Thanks.
Thankyou very much well presented with the proper amount of humor 👍
Just wanted to say thanks for the tree felling videos.
Really awesome.
Used your techniques on a couple of forward leaning partly rotten willows that had to go from a paddock near the farmhouse.
I am sure your information made it a lot safer than it would have been had I not watched the videos several times.
Cheers from down under in New Zealand

This uses 1/8" diameter wire rope ("cable"); you might want to pen that in somewhere. The correct cable routing is really the only mystery beyond common sense wrenching; Thanks for providing that detailed info!
You're welcome.
It's the same cable routing as my John Deere 47" blower on my JD 318 garden tractor. Very beneficial video, thank you very much it was a big help!
Great! Glad to hear it! Thanks.
I don't own a snowblower and probably never will, however it is still worthwhile to watch all your videos .
I imagine after a little use you will have to tighten the cable a bit.
Thanks, John. In light of the one small puncture wound and the cut I got on my finger tip, the cable will have to loosen a lot before I want to deal with it again.
Thanks Terry. It worked like a charm. (Love the pollution line too!)
Thanks, Justin! Very delighted that it helped you!
Great video! Went from crap I can’t figure this out to being done in 5 min. I also manufactured my own cable instead of paying the up charge from JD.
Cool!
Great job Terry!
Excellent video, much better than trying to use the snowblower manual . But may I suggest one additional step on the installation . You talked about cleaning and greasing the chute where it rotates on the housing, which is recommended by the manual every time you use the blower . But you should also lube all the bushings on those three pulleys , while you have those apart .
Good points. Thanks.
Great video! Thank you for posting!
Thanks. You're certainly welcome.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful.
Wonderful! Tis the season.
Great video -- Helped me install the cable on my 47" John Deere snowblower. The cable does not come with any instruction.
Glad to hear it!

Thank you Thank you! Couldn't find help anyplace else.
Delighted to be able to help!
hey terry. there's a lot of videos with idiots trying to burn the tops of tree stumps with diesel. well, your videos appeared in the suggestions and i immediately subbed. you're sharing some real knowledge and i appreciate it.
Appreciate the video.
Thanks, Randy!
Nice DIY video, Terry! Not a good design with sharp edge slots on the chute. I don't have a Deere blower but I watch anyway.
I suggest you to put some white lithium "dryer" winter grease on moving parts as I do on my snow blower. I do that to not freeze. Greetings from Sweden.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll hope I don't get "bitten" my my choice. I used some "Wolf's Head Motor Lubricant" that I inherited from my GRANDFATHER. LOL!
@@terryhale9006 Probably "Wolf Heads" is water resistant and not freeze too in winter time! :D
Can you review the routing on the right side pulley. I think your video shows has the cable going to the wrong side of the pulley. I took a picture of mine before pulling the cable out and from what I can deduce from the position of the broken cable, it is different from the routing you showed.
I'll trust you are right. Up for posting a corrected video?
Thanks for not polluting the outside atmosphere! That's very thoughtful! I'm thinking you might be able to answer a question that I can't find an answer to on youtube: I hit something last summer with my 42 inch mower deck and bent the blade. I replaced both blades and not long after the nut that had held the formerly bent blade came off. i figure it was my fault so I redid it again and it came off again. I bought some loctite but that doesn't seem to be the right way to solve whatever the problem really is. Any thoughts? Thanks
Sorry to hear that. I have had to replace similar blades several times and always found them very tightly fastened on. For both putting them on and taking them off, I blocked the blades against rotation by putting a block of wood in place. Then I could really screw things down tight. If you are doing something similar, I don't know what to suggest. My blades are held on with bolts. As an unlikely possibility, might there be something stuck in the bolt hole that is preventing the bolts from getting fully tightened? Regardless, I hope you or someone can get you past that problem.
@@terryhale9006 Thanks. I can't remember how I held the blade when I put it back on. The blades I bought this time aren't OEM Cub so maybe I have the wrong star. I'll have to check that too in the spring.
You may have bent the spindle and the vibration is shaking it loose. Also, I hit something and ended up damaging the split lock washer under the blade bolt. It it’s flattened out you won’t have as much preload on the bolt to hold it tight
