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

Hi all new here and new to snow throwers, I Just purchased a new Poulan Pro 11hp 30' snow thrower and was clearing my sister in laws driveway when I ran over a buried 50 foot leed cord which wraped it self around the auger witch pulled out the left auger shaft from the bearing housing and snaped the shearing bolts on thats side. I put the shaft back into the bearing housing and replaced the shearing bolts .Now the question I looked at the auger in operation is the auger gear box suppost to wobble a little I am worried It did some damage to the shafts when she pulled out. she seems to run fine eats the snow fine no shacking at all. can anyone help having sleepless nights.

Thanks

Ron
