56servi 28 #1 Posted February 17, 2018 Took off the wear bar from my 79360 show blower today & it has lots of wear. The front edge is beveled and worn uneven front to back. I read that you can reverse the bar & reuse. Does this mean rotating the bar 180 deg so the bevel is now at the back side. Does a new bar have right angle edges on both sides 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #2 Posted February 17, 2018 Flip it over as in the square edge is at the bottom now, the bevel edge came about from wear as it rode over the driveway/sidewalk surfaces, Jeff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikeeyre74 289 #5 Posted February 18, 2018 Where does this piece even go? My single stage doesn’t have one… Is this something I can retrofit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the early versions with steel wheels wire chute crank and short chute didn't have the replaceable wear/scraper bars just the newer tall chute versions.

56servi 28 #7 Posted February 18, 2018 Correct My old short chute blower has no bar. The tall chute I just got has the bar. It goes across the bottom on the impeller housing. the pict shows the square holes that are used to mount the bar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeyre74 289 #8 Posted February 19, 2018 Mmmmm. Newer tall chute. Copy that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,464 #9 Posted February 19, 2018 The older housings can be modified to run with a replaceable wear/cutting edge - I plan to rebuild the housing on my old one this summer if I can get the time. I'll just cut it in and weld it along with the other housing repairs - this one is beaten badly , as most are. Sarge Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
