Re: TORO 826oxe traction to the right wheel is weak

Not sure what traction control system is.

If the pin was gone wouldn't the wheel not spin at all?
Because it does spin, just seems like at half the power though.
TORO 826oxe traction to the right wheel is weak

Hey guys, wondering if you can point me in the right direction on where to look.

I have been noticing my snowblower pulling to one side. When i tilt the snowblower up so the wheels are off the ground and the traction lever depressed, I can stop the right wheel from spinning when I bump my boot off it. With the left wheel, it doesn't stop when I do this. So it seems that while the right wheel is getting traction, it's just really weak and this is what is causing it to pull. Any ideas what to check?

Thanks

Now leaning towards the Toro 926 OXE for $1499. Is this a better machine than the Ariens Deluxe 28?

I'd say go into the stores and play around with each machine. Those were the two I was torn between but in after seeing and trying them out in person I like the toro much better.

And yes the 321-44 is weaker.

Well maybe they were too weak which resulted in the change. Either way, I have the current bolts and that works for me..

It makes sense when you understand that the Toro engineers wanted a slightly weaker bolt for this application so that it would break easier if it “say” had to eat a dog chain.


What are you talking about? The bolts that were in the machine at the time were the factory bolts which obviously weren't THAT weak(however, the chain didn't make it to the impeller. Just wrapped itself around the auger)! And I have no idea if those were fully threaded or not. But what difference does that make anyway? Are you saying fully threaded bolts are weaker? If that is the case, then why is it so common for shear pins for many models out there not to be fully threaded, and why are the 2012 oxe models coming with bolts exactly like they sold me? I have absolutely no clue what your comment has to do with the bolts they sold me. They are fine, I know that.

Like I said, if those bolts you say were used in the past on the oxe's, they aren't anymore and that is what matters right now. They must have changed for a reason.
