Got the blower started up for the first time. It ran well however doesn't want to move while in any gear..... I'm guessing it just needs some kind of adjustment however I'm a little peeved that either I'll have to take it back for this (no easy task as it's heavy) or try to do it myself.....

I'm sure that is another downfall with the track drive.... any advise would be appreciated.

thanks fro the replies. As I mentioned I didn't know I was getting as I purchased it blindly because of the deal . I probably wouldn't have selected the track option however I'm sure it will be ok. I don't have a steep grade drive either.

Any advice on moving it while the engine's off?

Thanks

Hi all,

Lined up this morning at Sears for the door crasher special to buy a snowblower. They had 4 - 5hp Craftsmans up for grabs but unfortunatley i was 7-8th in line. One the four were gone they announced they had 3 'higher end' What I purhcased was a Craftsman 9 hp 26" track snow blower model # C459-527860. I cannot find this particular model on any of the Sears websites so I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this model.

Couple of questions:

Is track drive better/worse then the two wheeled blowers? What's the benefit to track drive?

I put the chute together and fixed the handlebars in place and wanted to move the blower to a different part of my garage before adding the agas and giving it a run. I couldn't move the blower. I checked to see if it had a neutral position on the stick shift but if didn't. Does anyone know how i can move this snowblower without starting it up?

Thanks for your help.
