NOMA snowthrower auger pulley problems
Original Message   Feb 13, 2008 9:10 pm
Hi, and I hate my snowthrower.

I have had auger belt issues for a long time, and now we have so much snow here that I have to use the snowthrower insteqd of the plow....so; HELP....PLEASE!!!!!

Had numerous issues  with the auger belt slipping....or so I thought. Replaced the belt and still slippage....so I made adjustments to the pulley mechanism....machine worked great for 5 minutes, then stopped throwing snow. I checked and the auger pulley had loosened. I tighened it, tried again, and it loosened within 2 minutes. I had torqued this to about 70 lbs!

Any suggestions on what is causing this pulley to loosen?  The parts diagram shows just a nut and washer, and the pulley is mounted on a spacer sleeve....nothing fancy here, but could the spacer be worn or perhqaps the auger just really needs to be torqued?

Thanks in advance!!
