Snow squirting out front from snowthrower
Original Message   Dec 18, 2008 8:58 pm
Hello, I have an MTD Yard Machines single stage snowthrower,
this model (31AM2N1B700)

http://www.yardmachines.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10451_18503_90854_36257_-1#

When using it, a jet of snow squirts out of the left edge
of the mouth. Some snow goes out from the chute as it is
supposed to, but some just squirts out in front from the left.
Everything appears to be fine, so I cannot make out
why this is happening. So only about half the snow
gets thrown to the side, the other part is just moved to
the front. Recently, the belt broke and I put in
a new one. This started happening after that, so may be
it has something to do with it, but I don't see what. The snow
is squirting out front of the same side as the belt, but the belt
itself and others things seem to be okay. Auger blades look
okay (as far as I can tell). Any ideas? Thank you!

Take it to any steel gate or iron shop without taking it apart and it can be welded in five minutes for a few bucks.

Thanks everyone for the help. Took it to a welding shop and got it welded for $10. Now it
is working fine. Whoo hoo!
