Hey Walby, Did they beat you down , Huh, well they are probably right. When I do other peoples machines, I like pouring motor oil, in an old can and using a paint brush on the rust. Naturally when I fix em they don't come back (yeah right) so occasionally I go over to their house and visit them, just to see how the rust is doin, the oil seems to hold up over the good part of a year. The rust hardly progresses, even on the ones that are sort of pot metal cheap. Nothing against WD40, but I think it dissappears off the metal over time faster than straight oil. Ben07

Hey Walby, Did they beat you down ,
Beat down? That was the farthest from my intention and others can chime in if it was theirs but if that was the case it was not evident in their posts. Maybe it would work if it was done right and pending how he uses his machine? What I do know is what mine and my father's machines go through when we use them and I don't care how well the darn thing has been riveted in place and or glued down and sealed it ain't staying there for the long haul and when it comes loose I can see it just tearing the machine up. My Honda has both auger and impellor shear bolts, so that may save me but I wouldn't put money on where that plastic could get into and jam up and damage before the pins went. I have had dog toys that were like big frozen stuffed animals that my dogs stole from the neighbors dog actually get into my impellor and stall the machine cold once and a plactic toy they stole stall it again, the impellor bolt did not break so it is one tough cookie. The potential damage the plastic could do to my impellor etc. before the bolt breaks is scarey to even think about because it might not. This is going through my mind and his reason for doing this is cosmetic? There are many great ideas posted here that folks do to their equipment and I envy them their time and skills and ingenuity and success, I don't see this as one of them and I for one was trying to prevent him from a potential disaster. Also not a single post was in any way insulting or derogatory much less a put down that I could tell. I thought we were all pretty nice about giving him all of the reasons why he should not even try it.

Hey Chris why didn't you quote my whole sentance, primarily the part of me saying the suggestions are probably right on. which is in complete agreement with what you are saying. The beat down part I think is pretty obvious a joke
In my opinion breaking that sentance in half and quoting it that way will put the statement completely out of context. Here was my statement word for word Hey Walby, Did they beat you down , Huh, well they are probably right. Ben07

Ben I quoted what I took offense to, "Beat down" and I addressed that specifically and why. And yes, I took offense and still do. There is no other way to take a statement like that. If it was intended as a joke I could not tell by your post. Hey Walby, Did they beat you down , Huh, well they are probably right. ?, I don't see the humor. Sorry, I did not read it that way. C

Glad it didn't say up or off.
I was wondering if using "up" would have made a difference or not. Never thought of "off" though. "Gotta hand it to you for that one."
By the way. that is just a joke. naturally I only mean using the word up instead of down (context is everything) Just taking a suggestion as to being clear. Ben07

but every year I had to repaint inside ther auger, I'm thinking in put in a plastic shield about 1/8 thick and rivet on the bottom could this be a good idea?
