I would not install the impeller kit as long as you have a warranty. Installation will void a warranty!!!!!!!!!

I have never tried this but I have heard that you can put your leaves in a large garbage can or a 55 gallon drum and use your weed wacker/string trimmer to beat it to a pulp. I can see why it would work.

I have a polan blower/mulcher with the bag but I too have a large property with lots of foilage and tried it once.It basicaly is a pain in the neck because the bags are very small and you need to keep dumping and you never get done.

Hello:  I have a 2 stage snow thrower.  One of the sides of the auger is rotating but the other side is not rotating and is just pushing the snow, not blowing it.  Is this a broken shear pin?

Yes indeed check out this topic same problem

&amp;lt;BR&amp;gt;&lt;BR&gt;<BR><SPAN CLASS="quotedmessageheader">nibbler wrote:</SPAN><BR><DIV CLASS="quotedmessage">The other thing to do is to use a grease gun and inject grease through the grease nipples then rotate the augers by hand so that the grease is distributed. Do this a few times so that you have lots of grease between the drive shaft and the auger axle. This helps stop the drive shaft from rusting to the auger axle.&amp;amp;lt;BR&amp;amp;gt;&amp;amp;lt;BR&amp;amp;gt;As far as the starter motor is concerned its just a matter of tightening up 4 bolts. If any of the bolts holes' thread are stripped then it gets trickier. I've had the same experience, for better than 99% of the time I just use the manual start.
