Honda Snow blower Maintaince
Original Message   Nov 4, 2010 11:03 am
Anyone have a digital copy of a Honda Snowblower Service Book onhand that you can share.

They have the owners manual available for download, but it doesn't state much on servicing.

I think the service manual is very short. It's one sentence only; "wash it, wax it, then crack open a beer and smile at it."

Now that you got a new toy, you're just itching for some snow action eh?

That reminds me, I have to go buff my snowblower.  Adjust the skid shoes, and grease the chute worm gear.

I don't want to jinx it just yet...
It's not a TCD

It has not been picked up.

GL4 or GL5 for the Augers?

It is a VERY good deal & the bucket is RED

BTW, not sure what camp you're in on *sealants* . I have plenty of exotic caranubas and sealants already.

For the last 2 years, from the same makers of Kroil, I've been using Weatherpruf as a sealant for exterior stuff.
I put a coat on the compressor housing 1X a year, etc, etc.

It's got tire pressure.... So for all you Hundaa Heads in here, I might as well get you thoughts.. I found a 724WA which is Perfect. Perfect in the sense that sizewise, it's good to fit between 2 cars. There are plenty of 1132 Trax available locally. The 724WA is a year old, but the kicker is it's a 4 hr drive to get it. $750 for the unit seemed like a good deal - travel aside. The costs of the Uhaul cab to hook up to my X5 (one way U haul) + gas in my gas monster was the same as me renting a Toyota Sienna. So a Sienna will be hauling it So Sat 3AM, off the trek begins to get my red bucket machine. If you guys don't mind checking, what mm size sockets are on the chute as well as the handlebar. I'm be lugging a socket set, 2 sets of Phillips #2 &3, and a good ole flashlight. 1/2 gas container to test and some straps. When I move, I can get then just the trax model of whatever is the latest. Dear old me. I am debating whether to FLIP the 520AS or not. Since I got it for so cheeep , I should keep it eh ?
