My JD 47 inch blower has that exact same WOBBLE. I tried to tighten the chain last night, but as you rotate it, the slack changes. The owners manual says to tighten chain, and then rotate the auger to make sure there are NO TIGHT SPOTS. So, JD must know the auger wobbles! :confused2:
Is this movement normal, or do you guys think I have a problem? My blower maybe has 3-5 hrs on it!
Thanks
I had the same problem with my 47" blower. After trying many times to get the chain "just right" I pulled the sprocket and measured the bore to be oversize! Unfortunately I was 30 days past warranty and Deere wouldn't replace the pulley. I believe that many of the 47" blowers came with pulleys that were oversize and Deere was pulling a "Toyota" by ignoring the problem.
Could you elaborate a little more on this. Are you talking about the sprocket hole where the shaft slide in. When I took mine off, it seem to be fairly loose on the shaft. Once you tight the 2 set screws I figure that it could very well bind the sprocket.
