Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Is there anything I can spray on my snow thrower auger housing and discharge chute, and my shovels, to stop wet snow from sticking so badly? I tried silicone, and I did not see any improvement. Do I just need to scrub them down with an abrasive cleaner like Soft Scrub?

Do I just continue to swear?

BTW: We received our first real snow in Spokane - 6 inches and still coming down, more on Thursday. Yahoo! (Last year was record dry!) My 926DLE does great but  sheared a pin on a sprinkler head or something, and the clip holding the chute deflector shaft to the u-joint departed half way through the job. I was glad to have spares, and strongly recommend that everyone have a few shear pins and cotter pins on hand, and a complete set of belts if you are comfortable working on your own machine.

Thanks.
