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

It seems that I have some oil leaking out of the right wheel. It might be a wheel bearing or something, I'm not sure. I did check the oil level and it's ok. The other thing is I am noticing that with even less snow it seems to be down on power running the engine at full rpm's and 1st gear it just seems to have a lot less power eating into even 6 inches of even mild snow. It was not doing this during the last storm and this storm was only 6 inches. I'm wondering if something might be wrong with the friction disc?

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.

trouts2 - Good diagnosis 

Steve - Glad it's back to normal.  The deepest snow we ever got in PA was in mid-March so it's not quite spring yet.

Hi Paul7, yeah Trouts2 was right on the money and very helpful, everyone was and I really appreciate it.

I'll still have teh dealer go over everything for next year in case I missed something. So far it's warm and everything is melting but we could still get blasted by more snow. Either way it's ok by me.
