Question. I have a 1990 single stage snow thrower for my 312-8. I am trying to replace the bearings on the drive shaft. How do you remove them? I have taken out the set screw, soaked the collar in pb blaster, put some heat to them, pounded on them. etc. They will not move. Am I missing something? The only thing that is curious is, there is only one set screw in each bearing collar. There appears to be a second partially drilled hole but no set screw installed and it does not appear to be tapped. What gives??? Rich In Walworth

So I couldn't help but notice how the cable to rotate the chute drags like a boat anchor on the sea floor across this pin. I know the cable is supposed to be coated but I still can't imagine it being much better. the cable actually had a groove filed in the pin. Measuring the height for the mod. Off to the parts bin, found a pulley off an old garage door opener. Cut the pin and weld the head of the bolt on the end. Voila a pulley to run the cable over. It's hard to tell but the pulley is on a pretty hard angle to match the path of the cable. I cut the end of the pin on a slant then tacked one side and bent it into position. The rotate moves 4,000% easier now I can't believe it. It almost justifies this stupid rotate design. My rig. 180lbs on the wheels and about 130 in the rear box. Still could use more....also more ponies. Any idea how much weight is ok on the rear hitch? It scares me the tranny takes all the weight hanging off the back.
