Mr. 856 170 #1 Posted November 12, 2014 SN#A-27298 can anyone tell me what model blower this is? id like to print a manual. Does anyone know what size or what the part # is for the drive belt? The drive shaft bearings.............appear to be sealed units. The cups are pinned together with three pins. Are these serviceable? I hear a lot of rattling going on inside when I shake the bearing/holder. This will be my first year using this blower. I thought Id start getting it ready and noticed some slop in the bearings. Should I run it or replace? Any know part #'s for 3/4" shaft that are a good swap for the originals? Thanks for the help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rideking 32 #2 Posted November 12, 2014 I did an upgrade to my blower last winter that had similar problems to yours, my advise fix all the problems now and don't worry about issues when A storm hits. It will probably be cheaper do you to upgrade your shaft, see my thread here for details: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
