, but if I intend to put that plastic shield in my auger no one here will ever know ...  Walby
Walby you are the man.. I don't want to belabor the point, and context again, as the following is a compliment..
" I very rarely bust out loud laughing to myself. But I sure did this time" "keeps happening and my eyes won't quit watering,, wew" It's my vote for joke of the day, (it beat mine for sure) Problem people will have to read most of the thread to get the full effect. LOL thanks Ben07 p.s. pm me if you do it, promis not to tell a soul.. LOL

Personally, I would NOT put a crazy carpet in the auger area. It will not last. Yes, it is quite slippery, but also thin. It is a good idea, but rocks WILL tear it up. I saw a machine in my dad's shop, a few years ago, where some guy had the same idea. I guess at first it was alright, but he got some rocks into it, and there were several thin spots, and, you guessed it, it shredded like crazy It jambed up the impeller so bad he had to take it in to be removed. The guys theory, IIRC was that he didn't like seeing the scrapes in the paint around the auger. This would cover it up, protect it and maybe improve performance. I remember he paid a pretty good price for his "performance enhancement". Hopefully he took my father's advice and gave it a paint job each year, after that. I know that is what I do. By spring, they get rather scratched up. Gives me some "tinker time" when I am inbetween seasons. Of course that is when the "honey-do" list seems to appear too!!!!!  Ken
