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?

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?
