Good Morning fellow WH nuts
After 72 hrs of it sitting in the garage, I got to play with my new-to-me tractor and snowblower. Seems as though in the midst of all my excitement, I broke the blower. Pulled off the belt cover and noticed the flat idler pully seemed to chew up the belt guard bracket. I was looking at the back of the auger housing and also seemed to notice some paint scraping from what I assume to be the auger brushing the back of the housing. I found a dealer that has the bracket and pulley in stock within a couple hrs driving distance but my concern is once I take the 4 hr roundtrip and re-install the parts, is there anything else that could have failed that I can't see any signs of.
Pics below are the flat idler pulley and the belt guard bracket.
Hopefully I didn't kill it too bad. Got a little overzealous with a 5 yr old sitting on my lap cheering in delight. 😏🤦♂️🤷♂️
