SousaKerry 500 #1 Posted November 19, 2012 Well this weekend I finally got all the parts to my snowblower together. New chain, straitened and painted wings, new home made lift rod and flag. While I had the chain off I inspected the bearings and all are good. Started the ol C-175 up and revved it up to full throttle, under no load spinning a full throttle it begins to hop around a bit, is this normal? 3/4 throttle it seems fine but the imbalance kind of scares me. BTW does anybody know the approximate year they started using stickers for the model tag? This one has a sticker that is now blank and I can't get any numbers off of it, it is a single stage with skids not the adjustable wheels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 16,027 #2 Posted November 19, 2012 Mine never bounced around that was very noticable. You say the bearings are good so could the auger be bent a little? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,028 #3 Posted November 19, 2012 Mine vibrate but don't bounce around, I'll be putting mine on this week sometime, so I check it out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheReDStAnG 4 #4 Posted November 19, 2012 I think my tall shoot bounces around too, but only when it is up. Let us know what you find out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SousaKerry 500 #8 Posted November 20, 2012 Ok thanks guys looks like my unit is somwhere between 82-87 as the sticker also still reports the Ireland Rd address. I will try to get a video of it sometime tomorrow if I get time. The auger is a little beat up but no worse then most I have seen probobly took some rocks or ice chunks at some point and bent the Auger Barrel. After the way the wings were beat on the thing I think someone used it for a battering ram at some point. :eusa-think: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,129 #9 Posted November 20, 2012 Perhaps they used it to clean dirt out of a ditch. :hide: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JackC 616 #12 Posted November 22, 2012 The impeller really spins. Looks like it should work well. Seemed pretty smooth in the video. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
