John Deere 1330SE Snow blower/thrower
Original Message   Feb 22, 2013 10:02 pm
I have had no problems with this blower until now.  I have a problem with the chute.  It neither rotates nor does it move up or down.  I have taken off the chute housing, loosened and then tightened up the gear box, and lubricated the gear spindle  I fear my problem is electrical.  Not only that... my headlights do not work and have not worked for a year or more.  Any ideas? 

Closest John Deere assistance is an hour away.  Not too bad - but the timing is another thing.

Go figure. Another snow storm tomorrow (third in as many weekends).  Ughhh!

Hi My switch went bad for rotation and I went to Advanced Auto Parts and they found me a reversing DC motor switch for around 13 dollars. You will have to use washers or make a bracket for it to mount, but the harness plugs into it just fine. As far as these machines being dependable I haven't had good luck with mine at all. The motor for chute deflection quit working the second season, valve guides in motor loosened up and took the push rods out, and I lost count as to how many auger belts I have replace in the 4 years that I have owned it. This will be the last winter for it. It might make someone a good boat anchor for sure.
