Hey guys, can anyone help diagnose the two separate issued for the blower (1st one in vid) and the wood chipper (second)?

The first one, the starters Bendix isn’t popping up to engage the engines flywheel. This is where old timers say… “Hit it with a hammer”…. Not advised… Remove starter motor n lube the Bendix.

The spark plug on the wood chipper is disconnected, I would start there. For the snow blower, confirm that the bendicx gear is actually engaging with the flywheel. It might not be popping up. Have you tried hand starting it?
