BX2750 Snowblower Operational Question

[Killer_B]

Hey Junkman,

I have the shoes adjusted so that the scraper rides just a whisker above the concrete. When I apply down pressure, it changes the pitch of the blower, and causes the blade to scrape. Yes, this is often an audible procedure.

I also notice lots of missing paint in the fan tunnel. Much more so since yesterday when I hit a pile of 2" landscaping stones bordering my neighbor’s driveway. It sounded like a tommy gun for about two seconds, till the shear bolt selflessly sacrificed itself.

My chute has always been easy to operate. However, I can see how it could easily bind if things aren’t just right. It was a constant battle to keep my (30 year old) Ariens blower chute turning, and it was a very similar set up to the 2750.

If you try to turn the chute while underway and blowing snow, it will definitely turn hard and it may not be possible to turn it if the snow is too dense. This is normal. If you try to turn it very slowly, this helps.
With the way the snow is apt to blow around, I have taken to stopping momentarily and as the volume of snow coming from the chute stops, I turn it. This way, you also avoid the faceful that the wind catches.
Of course, those of you with a cab are going 'what's he talking about'??

So Mike what is Rose's handle on this sight? She must have one so that she can defend herself does she not? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Junkman I may be wrong but I get the feeling your concerned about flex of the whole unit and that it is causing the noise and maybe causing things to be miss aliened I.E. hard to turn shoot. I guess you would have to try experimenting with that. Is the shoot always hard to turn with down pressure.? Maybe a straight edge could tell you something? Any way I may be way off here just some thoughts.

I don't have the same blower, but yes and yes.

My blower subframe pushes down hard enough to lift the tractor up, so I can scalp or scrape easily (unless I 'float', which can be tricky).

The impeller on any blower I've had loses paint quickly. I figure its a combination of the odd bit of gravel and the inherent abrasiveness of snow.

I allways give my snowblower a good bath of WD-40 in the spring for rust prevention. The paint will come off again the first time you use it. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
