What to use to lube chute flange on Ariens?
Original Message   Nov 10, 2011 1:16 pm
What do folks use for lubrication on the flange on which the chute rotates.  Would white lithium grease be appropriate?

It depends on your blower. My old 924 I use axle grease. My new Compact 24 i use nothing because the shoot touches nothing. The shoot bracket hovers the shoot over the discharge hole 1/4 inch

It's an ST824.  I pulled the chute off and cleaned the old grease (and sand) that was there.  I put axle grease but now I have second thoughts.  I'm going to try the teflon stuff.

I use Anti Seize.  Stays on forever and it doesn't take much.
