What works for the easiest starting in the fall?
My 32 year old Ariens almost got smooshed this year when something big fell on it. The top of the intake housing has been indented about 3" and nothing I've tried will even start to straighten the heavy grade steel. The auger just clears the dent, the side jiggles a bit and the axle shaft bushing has some horizontal freedom as a result. I don't think things will fall apart, but it's a concern. Any suggestions using stuff typically found around the home for straightening the top? Does this sound dangerous?
