WH854 44 #51 Posted February 5, 2010 Started putting her back together! Got the auger back in with new bearings. Here are some pictures. I did not have any trouble getting the auger to line up with the holes to put the rod back in. I did it by myself no one else around to help. I don't think I will get to use it on the snow that is coming (4 to 8 inches) I will Have to use my other snowblower Chas :party: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH854 44 #58 Posted April 3, 2010 Well my luck is holding out!!! I went to our local Tractor Supply Store today,bought #40 roller chain, comes in 10ft sections also some connecter links. Came home stuffed my face,then went to work on the blower. Supprised my self I had the old chain so I laid it on the floor un rolled the new chain laid it down beside the old chain, made sure I had them booth laid out even, tied a small piece of wire in the link I wanted to take off.Then ground both sides of that link flat took a big screw driver forced it in between the rails,Wallah poped right into.There also was a connecting link in the box with the new chain. Here are some pictures The first is a picture of the stuff I bought. The next picture is what is left of new chain, enough to make a spare chain. The next picture is with chain on the drive sprocket. The next one is on the bottem all adjusted, ready for a trial run.It spins fine by hand, also in the right direction. Chas :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WH854 44 #60 Posted April 5, 2010 Did every one have a nice Easter? I DID Well today I installed the cable for the shute. A fellow should have at least 4 hands for this job. The cable keeps curlling back up, one to hold one end while he feeds it into the little hole, one to wind it counter clock wise, one to keek it wound on the turning apparatus and so on. If you do one you will know what I mean!! Any way I got it done here are some more pictures. Picture of the little cable Picture set for the center Picture to the right Picture to the left Picture back to center Boy that is lots of pictures The next faze will be making some guards for the drive chain Chas :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
