Hey guys, Dave is my apprentice!

It appears you may have installed the first middle paddle backwards by accident. 15:42 shows it perfectly, the reinforced rubber paddle has more rubber facing the wrong way

Thanks Dave. Great video. As a 52 year old female, Donyboy73 has helped me out a lot as far as small engines. I love it. Husband just lets me do the maintenance and repairs. Alone time! Lol I subbed because your camera work and explanations are very good. Also, If you weren't a good guy Donyboy wouldn't waste his time. Been watching him for almost a decade. Thank you again.

Can we expect a video on the inspection, replacement and clearance adjustment if the scraper blade? Critical component for proper snow blowing. Perhaps, combine it with replacement of the drive belt. Thanks, good video!

Great video. A true professional.

Thanks David! I got a Honda hs621 single stage for $95 usd. Super cheap. I’ll check these

Nice replacement video Dave, anyone of the average homeowner can do now with ur instructions

Great Job Dave!

Hey Dave. Nice repair job 👍 Today I have tryed the sanding of the piston, the ring and the cylinder on a Dolmar PS5105. It worked great! The compression raised about 33% up to 145psi😂 Great method to repair a blown up engine on a chainsaw👍👍 Best whishes from Germany, Stefan

Dave, great video! I’ve changed the paddles several times on my HS520. One thing I have seen is that the two outer bars, where the paddle single holes attach, bend outward towards the housing over time. This can cause the paddle ends to rub against the housing sides. I bend them in for approx. 1/4 inch of clearance, when this occurs.

Thanks for the information 👍

Dave, your doing great man! The camera work and audio were very good. Great content sir. My only question is are the nuts on those locking type nuts? They looked like it from my perspective. 🇺🇸👍Roger

You done such a great job replacing those paddles Dave, professional job IMO. I have an electric single stage blower that has those same paddles, I haven't used them enough to wear them out though. But your right, they are a wear item, just like tires on a car. Thank you for making a video, I am sick with flue, and I need video's from awesome people like you to help make me feel better. :)

Thanks for the video. It's nice to work on the higher-end equipment, isn't it? Some equipment, due to design and overall quality issues, can be so frustrating to work on. Too bad we couldn't see it "throw some snow"!

I just picked up a HS621 for $50. Owner said the “blade” doesn’t spin but the engine runs perfect. I couldn’t get there fast enough before someone else. He had no clue what was wrong. Sure enough I get it home and the belt was shot. When I told him what I found as he was curious, he said he had no clue how to change it anyway. Why he spent $800 on a new machine. Familiarizing myself with this model. Appears there are no paddle wear indicator holes like my old Toro?

Great video Dave, just wondering on the first center one you have the stitching towards the front. There is more rubber towards the back, does it matter?

Is stens aftermarket good?

Dave: is it recommended to use any anti-seize on those threads?

I put on a new scraper blade and now it's hard to push ,it binds against the ground and repair suggestions thank you

Nice repair job easier than a two stage snow blower

My buddy had that same sweater in grade 5

I bought my honda used but the r and l are still on the rubber does that mean that the paddles could be fairly new?.

Dave what's the part #

You should have said what size Philip screwdriver #2 or #3 very nice video.

DAVE nice camera work .When I bring new hard ware I want it used especially self-locking ONE TIME USE ONLY NUTS. Just saying.

I notice that my old sears craftsman spins so free that it will spin 5to 6 times but my new honda will not spin when you give it a hard spin like the one your working on.

I wonder how much these paddles cost from the manufacturer. I work in the conveyor belt industry and could cut hundreds of those paddle from the remnants we throw away in a week. Would just need one set to use as a pattern.

Can I change my blades to medal

Looks much easier to replace the paddles on the Honda vs. my single stage Toro. I replace my paddles about every five years. Very difficult to get the side bolts back in, I would buy the Honda if my Toro failed. I've had the machine for 11 years and works well but the time it takes to do the paddles makes me to not recommend the Toro.

not realy a fan of honda products
