Ken m 0 #1 Posted February 2, 2021 I have a 312-8 with a snowblower. The tube stud is worn to the cutter pin hole so I can't use the snowblower, tube keeps falling off.Any suggestions? I was thinking about drilling a new hole or threading the stud and use a nut. Also blower doesn't throw the snow very far. Any way to adjust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Darb1964 1,119 #3 Posted February 3, 2021 I would check the ware blade, sounds like it may be warn out so your bar is dragging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lynnmor 7,817 #4 Posted February 3, 2021 Take the tube to a weld shop and they can make it like new. Follow the directions in the manual to get the right washer and pin, a certain amount of slop is needed. Are you running the engine full throttle? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
