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

Hopefully someone can shine some light on this question. We have a Craftsman 9/28 model # (247.888350), the original manufacture is MTD. It requires a rubber friction disk replacement and I'm wondering if it's safe to stand the snowblower on the Auger Housing. It would make it extremally easier to replace if I could. The idea came from a newer MTD Snowblower manual it just warned about emptying the gas tank or sealing the gas cap. My concern how the engine oil or possibly the carb would be effected while being on it's side.

Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

Thanks,
