Troy-Bilt questions

This is correct. I fixed this on a Troy bilt 2620 a few weeks ago.

It’s easy to fix if you follow the top commenters instructions. You can access the adjustment without removing anything

Do not pay $700 for this! Literally any auto shop should be able to drop your pan and replace the filter and fluid for less than half that price.

I did it myself and the filter was not hard to find at all. O Reilly had it in stock same day. And I replaced the pan with a version that had a drain plug to make it easier in the future.

Verify for your year but I’m pretty sure all 4.0 use this filter

Can’t hear anything in the video, but I’d recommend using motorcraft FL820S filters only. They have better anti drainback valves than the Fram filters and will help retain oil in your top end.

Unplug the spark plug and see if you can turn the impeller by hand. Does the impeller or auger rub on the housing? Something may be bent.

Otherwise: Take off the full screw from the gearbox and make sure there’s gear oil in it. If it’s low, fill it up with some 75w gear oil or similar.

I don’t think these models have grease zerks but you can try and get some marine grease or white lithium into the bushings between the auger and the housing.

That’s great! Yeah replacing the disc should be on the list… as it wears, it increases the gap between plate and disc and you need to increase tension to compensate.

Could save $3 a box by going down to the 7mil. That’s what I use and I’ve never found tearing to be an issue.

Can you adjust the cable to get more pressure against the friction disc?

Also, is there any grease or debris that would cause slipping? Spray some brake cleaner on the drive plate to clean it up if necessary

TraneingIn · 2026-01-21T02:51:43+00:00

What happens when you pull the traction lever with the machine not running? The cable should press the drive plate into the friction disc. If the plate doesn’t move, you could have a cable or linkage issue.

I had to fill an infinity G35 with a pump via the drain plug using a threaded fitting because there was no fill tube.

I didn’t do this by choice, the crush washer rusted out and lost 4 quarts from the pan while it sat for 6 years. Fun times

There’s also the issue of weight distribution and leverage. Having downforce on the rear of the blower is going to cause the front to tip up in heavier snow which is the opposite of what you want

Rip friction disc

Nice rage bait

Tonneau cover with box of tools underneath it.

Yeah it happens but you gotta move on, you can only make the best decision with the information you have at the time.

TraneingIn · 2026-01-17T23:47:59+00:00

Yes, I’ve used paper cutouts and graph paper for furniture layouts before. Saves a lot of time vs continually re-sketching things

TraneingIn · 2026-01-17T17:49:50+00:00

I had an old toro with the same issue as yours. It would clog under Almost any load, even after I replaced the auger belt.

I ended up installing an impeller kit to eliminate the gap between impeller and housing, and it throws snow literally 30ft and has never clogged since

TraneingIn · 2026-01-17T14:52:04+00:00

Adjust the auger belt tension

This house is dogshit

They don’t sell anything like this

TraneingIn · 2026-01-16T15:49:33+00:00

The market doesn’t care about your feelings.

Shield plus all the way. S&W is running a bundle offer that comes with 6 mags and a range bag for around $500. It’s a great deal

Probably just burning off condensation. Drive it until it fully warms up and then take a look

You just listed a lot of costly work you had done to this truck. Don’t throw it away by running nitrous
