teflon coating a snowthrower

Recommended Posts

Any tips to make the interior of your snowthrower more slippery?  Been out playing with mine over the past couple of days and unless the snow is real light, it seems easy to jam the chute.  I doubt that teflon would hold up but if there's some type of spray one could apply or heavy duty wax, I'm all ears.  I just added a couple of extensions to the sides and they really help but it's not fun to be hopping off the tractor every 10 mins or so to clear the chute and/or free up the auger.  I will also confess that I "may" need to slow down slightly and wet slush just may not be something to use the thrower on.

Sanding, painting and waxing works wonders. I have even used ski wax on my chute. That wax stays on longer than an automotive finish wax. You just can't get it on all the surfaces due to space constraints.

I used a rub on ski wax and a blow dryer and it really worked well. I think I used a ski wax in the 15 to 20 degree F range last time I used it. This year, I just hit my chute with Turtle wax and it needs it again.

I don't know how well it would hold up on a snow thrower (blower) but I use POR15 on my 48" dozer blade and the snow doesn't stick to it at all.  I've also used this on the under-side of mower decks with good results.  POR15 is kinda pricey, but MAY be worth the bux.

I just came across a product called Fluid Film (www.fluidfilm.com).  I was able to buy it at my local O'reilly parts store. I got it primarily to use on the blower chain and sprockets. I sprayed it on my blade and was able to use it for the first time this morning, snow rolled a lot better and didn't stick. Think I'll try coating the blower chute but not sure if I'll get another chance to use it this year or not.

Best stuff you can buy, and it does out perform anything on the market.... I even tried the Pam thing... < Not at all happy with those results... Keep a supply of Snow Jet in the winter and during the summer, sand and repaint as needed.
