Re: 1130 se or 1330 se John Deere Snow thrower

I have both the 1130 and 1330. The gear selector is the same on both of these. If you are looking at an 1130 you'll need to make sure the holes below the engine are sealed for moisture entering the transmission or it will most likely slip. Once it's sealed it works fine. The 1330 has a rubber gasket under the engine and fixes this potential problem. I can try to answer other questions, although I don't look at this site too often.

Beyond the engine pulley not being in the same plane as the pulley below it could also be possible the engine is not straight on the mounting plate. I'd make sure the engine is not slightly twisted on the mounting plate or if it's sitting higher or lower on the crankshaft end. I suppose the idler pulley could also cause a problem if it isn't straight. I can't think of anything else that might cause this.

I just sent my 1130 back to Scharber & Sons with the exact same issue. My blower was also purchased in '08 and I am lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) that this happened right before my warranty ran out. I love this blower when it is working. Unfourtunately it has spend the majority of it's winter life at Scharber & Sons repair shop -this is the 5th time I've sent it in for repairs. My problems to date: 1. Primer cap fell off of the underside of gas cap and blocked the fuel line. 2. Water got on the disk and the blower wouldn't engauge the wheels. They fixed it with a gasket that was the 1st recall. 3. Water got onto the disk drive again and the wheels wouldn't engauge. They fixed it with a 2nd gasket and somekind of sheet seal under the engine (2nd recall). 4. Gas got into the piston/carburetor and seized up the engine. 5. Belt came off the auger assembly - I'm guessing a shaft or wheel is bent. I'll let you know when i get it back from the shop. That being said, my neighbor just bought a brand new 28" Arens and only one of his wheels engauges so he had to take his back. I'm beginning to loose faith in American products... ccginmn, I have both an 1130 and 1330 and have been lucky so far. Well the 1130 needed sealing and after that it's been fine. I never had the gasket put under the engine mounting bracket on the 1130 and I wonder if it could have been misaligned during that process. Let us know what you find.

Catt, could you please tell me if the handle bars on the 1330SE are height adjustable? Jason Sorry that I didn't respond earlier. The height of the bars isn't really adjustable. The cables for the drive / auger and gear selector wouldn't work if the height was changed with the existing design. Height is certainly something that you should evaluate as only you can determine if it's acceptable. For me it's pretty good, but depending on your height and arm length it may be acceptable or unacceptable.

Despite the fact that everyone was dying to see the show, and the performance was flawless, the lifeless crowd was less than enthusiastic.
After the best performance of his entire career, Trouts with head hung low, exited the field in dead silence, gravely concerned about where he could have possible gone wrong.
It was a tough crowd indeed! OK! That was the best. I'm still laughing!!!
