Hello All
I just purchased a used 3430 with a front mount snow blower (among other things).
I noticed the auger chain was too tight and when I went to adjust it I found the chain gear is out of round. (so as the chain travels it gets tight then loose then tight again) I still haven't determined whether the flange on the auger or the gear is the issue yet. Either way not overly impressed. I also see that there are 5 master-links on the chain indicating that the previous owner had some issues with the unit.
Anyone else come across something like this?
Regards
