Ehh - I figured something was going to go wrong when I could'nt get the holes to natch up although I'm sure they will when I reverse. Just didn't think about it when I install new drive system. Oh well - reinstall - appreciae it.

Have I done the same thing?
Is it really possible to install the snowblower augers backwards?  I replaced the bearings and decided to do a little preventive maintenance and clean and repainted the auger axle. Everything runs like new with one exception.  During the first snowfall of the year i noticed that most of the snow was being thrown outside of the snow bucket, not inward toward the impeller.    The impeller works fine, so I know that's not on backwards.

Because of the safety/lockout controls I cannot see the augers moving while the engine is running.  And I'm on my own. Maybe I'll wrap a bungie cord around the control that engages the auger so I can check.  Geezzz.
