Bookmark or Share- Craftsman Not Throwing Snow Too Far and Clogging in ChuteA 2 stage machine tosses snow better and farther with more snow in the impeller. The auger and impeller turning after releasing the lever usually indicates the auger brake needs replacement, out of adjustment, wrong size belt etc. Certain temps and wet snow conditions cause snow to stick worse than others, products like fluid film can help.
- What do you guys think of these? Which should I buy or avoid?Out out of the options provided the ariens is likely the best especially for the price. I wouldn't touch either of those craftsman or snapper. 1 of the craftsman is a single speed mtd which are prone to expensive transmission failure and the other snapper/craftsman are murray built machines suck at throwing snow.
- best lube for snow blowers!! | Snowblower ForumSome say vegetable oil. One person claimed diesel sprayed on. Others use car exterior wax, or paraffin in its myriad forms. Some use WD40. One mentioned a Spray Nine cleaner product called snow shooter I think? I've used the tractor supply graphite paint on the 3 point tractor PTO blower and my sense was it didn't last.
- Is impeller kit mod worthwhile? - Snowblower Forumthe difference was remarkable on wet slushy snow. the one without continually clogged. the one with the kit threw the wet slushy snow about 10-15 feet. we get a lot of wet snow here. on regular snow did not notice much difference. to me it's worth it. only takes a little time and if the blower no longer clogs it means a lot under wet conditions.
- Will any 5W-30 be okay to use? Or is there a specific...My question is is this okay to use? Or should I have gotten a 5W-30 designed for snow blowers (if such a thing exists). Also, the salesman at lowes told me the snow blower comes with about 5 hours worth of oil in it, so I used it a little today (I checked the dipstick to make sure). When I do add oil to it, can I just top it off and mix oils?
