AlexR 576 #1 Posted 3 hours ago Got this snowblower for a pretty good deal I think. It was $125. Getting it tuned up for winter, flipped the scraper blade and got new stainless hardware for it. And Adjusted the shoes to keep the blade slightly off the ground might have to adjust those more once I start using it. Adjusted the chain tension. And going to weld a tab on the flag rod to match the factory spring assist lift. Since mine doesn't have that and I don't have any hydraulic lift tractors. Is there anything you guys use to coat the inside area of the blower and the chute? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JimSraj 398 #5 Posted 1 hour ago Alexa, thanks for the quick response. I’ve seen that picture before but I guess I’m a little dense but I can’t make out where and how the eyebolt is inserted. Is there something welded to the flag or top of the tube the bolt goes through? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
