DougC 2,643 #1 Posted October 31, 2015 Having never owned a Wheel Horse single stage snow blower I was wondering how much and what type of noise is normal for them to make when running and under no load? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 18,195 #2 Posted October 31, 2015 Kind of loud. Chain and gears always make noise. Maybe it has a little chatter from worn bearings and from the chute bouncing around. Less noise when loaded with snow 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Forest Road 594 #7 Posted November 1, 2015 Unless they look like they're brand new. Change the chain and gears. Never heard of one failing at a time that's convenient to a major storm. Bit of a PIA but well worth doing. Chains and gear teeth all wear over time it's s good idea to change the chain every other year.
