Hi, All!
I'm a first timer here. Great forum!
I got a question for the pros:
Got an Arien 1332 Pro. (The 2000 Pro model with the electric chute).
I'm tired to see the snowthro trying to climb on the heavy snow that the plows leaves in front of the garage entrance many times each snowstrorm.
So i decide to add some extra weight on the front of the snowthro.
I know that Ariens have a stock extra weight kit. This metal plate according to Ariens is 10 Lbs. But because it's the same kit for all snowthrowers models, it may not be the exact perfect weight to add on a larger model like mine. Anyways none of the Ariens dealers near my home have it in stock. And because just the delivery fee of this kit will cost me as much as the kit itself - because of the weight - I decide to made one myself.
But how much weight will be enought - more than 10Lbs I guess - and hom much weight will be too much?
Anybody have done this on his snowthrower ?
How did you made the insallation, did you put a rubber plate under it to avoid scratching the paint, do you put the plate under or over the deck, what's the dimmensions and thickness of the plate etc...
Any clues, any infos to help me have it done properly ?
Thank you.
P.S: Don't have a cab and will not have one.
Again, thank you!
Should be easy enough, just two holes. It weighs in at a hefty 30 lbs. so I feel it has to help somewhat. Oh, and I got it from NEW HAVEN POWER EQUIPMENT in New Haven,VT. on sale at $59.99 It was only $20.00 for shipping to souther MA ,so I even saved a few dollars ( and time, since it showed up in two days ) because it cost less than it would have if I had ordered from any of the local dealers. No one carries them in stock, it seems; so I would've had to wait for them to order it,plus pay a sales tax.
