79360 tall shute

[AHS 1,591]

New paint, chain, auger bearings and sprockets. New paint… where it counts! So, I’ve put the auger in and tightened up the bolts on the sides and i have a 1/4” of play between the auger and the body. The auger will slide 1/4” in the body. I’ve got the two washers on each side where the auger bearings are. I don’t know if it’s supposed to be this way? Or if the 30 year old snowblower is so outa whack!? This is. What i was talking about, right in my pictures. Also, my top sprocket seems to be slid over.

From your pictures the only real thing I can see is the misalignment in the second shot. I didn't duplicate shots on my blower but there's no side to side play at all. 1/4" is definitely not right. 

 

 

A little modification you might want to add. It does get the snow in the air better. But one thing is always a rule with snow throwers. Whichever way you point the chute, it will be IN TO the wind.

Something not aligned here.

 

 

Loose carriage bolts , bent etc.     Needs to be checked further.

Ok, the top sprocket needs to be slid over. I have another 79360 that has play in it.
