Re: JD Snow Blower 1032 Oil leak has been found

We found the leak...I did not realize that one of the bottom bolts that hold on the electric start went thru into the Oil case. The bolt threads are shot so I left out the bolt and will repair it with a Helicoil
Well we took the housing off and clean everything and found nothing..so put everything back together and started it up. My friend said here's the problem..oil was blowing out of the bolt hole....
so I'm wait to get the Helicoil repair kit and will fix the problem :cool2:

This is why I kept telling to you find the oil leak first. You didn't need the seals and gaskets.. I think the last Helicoil kit I bought was around 35 dollars and it include everything you need to install the helicoil like the tap, drill and several coils.

I did not get the seal etc..I was just checking to be able to get it..this snow blower is old 1984..so parts are hard to find...
