What causes my snowblower to not track straight?
Original Message   Feb 9, 2005 11:57 am
I have a new Toro 1028lxe that I love.  I have used it for about 5 storms so far.  I have one question though.  Occasionally, I am going along and it starts to want to pull to one side or another (I think it's usually to the right). I find myself trying to fight to keep it straight.  If I look back after a long row that I've done, it looks like I was drunk.  Anyone have an idea of what causes this?

I also remembered this-make sure both shear pins are in.  My Dad's old Sears Trackdrive would not track striaght = it was a broken shear pin.                                 18 degrees

Snowshovler, my Ariens 1128 LE had a bent auger housing.   It was about 3/8" of an inch off.  Have you seen any other Ariens blowers have this problem?
