Snow Attachments New Woods Snowblower

JSUnlimited · Sep 19, 2011

I'm going to ask a stupid question.....

The picture showing the front view, it looks as though the drive chain for the auger is placed such that the auger would not be able to rotate correctly. Was or is the drive chain installed incorrectly?

It caught my attention and please forgive me as a know very little about these snowblowers as I am looking to buy one this year, preferrably a Woods like this.

Good call on the picture. I agree. This is magnified view - hard to see how that augur can turn with chain as is.

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Yeah, it looks great, You answered the question I had about the cost.

I have started looking for a used 60" just missed out on a Woods for $1200.
I thought that was a good price but now that I see what they cost new I realise that it was a great deal, since it looked very clean/ good condition.

The one I saw was black, does woods make different lines??

I just paid 3500 otd for a Woods 72c with hyd chute and electric deflector. Local dealer wanted 4600 plus tax. These things are as bad as aerators, my woods 72 was just over 3k, its rediculous. And yeah that auger chain is majorly out of whack. Woods has a few different color options if you order new.

Really guys? The chain is not out of wack nor does the auger run thru it. What you are seeing is slop in the chain because I had not yet adjusted the idler sprocket.

Must be some sort of optical illusion then because in the first picture it really looks like the chain is running through the "triangle" of the auger support. Glad it's ok.
