Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

The drive disk looks worn, but is there a minimum specification for overall diameter or thickness of friction material ? Or, how thick is a new one?

One of the augers came right off the shaft, but the other one won;t come free. They've been lubricated regularly so presumably there's some rust at the ends holding it in place. Would it be more effective to heat the shaft and try it, or should I just go buy a puller, or am I likely to need both? Is the auger shaft a solid piece or is it split on each side of the gear housing?

 GMAN,

You should have plenty of power with your new engine.

But remember with the 8 in wheels ,your blower will be 33% faster than with the 6's in each gear!!!

 Should make one great blower!!
