Well dang. Another Nor'easter planned by the weather prognosticators for Tuesday.
Rant!!
At least the snow blower is back together with a new 50 buck auger gear and skid shoes. Gotta say that replacing that gear is not for the weak of mind. You have a gear keyed loosely on a shaft, four bushings, two spacers two housing pieces and a gasket all needing to be assembled in indexed places on the gear housing while trying to hold the input worm gear shaft complete with the finger lopper/slinger in space while full of grease. This is done AFTER after you have removed the entire blower assembly from the power head and disassembled it 100% to get that gear out.
Rave!!
Worked perfectly
