Rob,

Congrat's on your Ariens blower!

Your OPE dealer doing a house call was sweet too!

Isn't it nice when things get taken care of like that.

Regards, John

Bob,

I would go with any extra horsepower you can get. ;-)

Bob question: Waxing the machine (wax what, any special type of wax)?

I just use an automotive car wax (some people use Pledge spray).

Bob question: Lubing the chute (with what)?

Some people spray LPS-3 in the chute, and I have heard of using silicone spray.  I do not use any, but at the end of the season I’ll re-paint or spray lithium grease in my Honda's metal chute.

Bob question: Running the impeller before shut down (does this need to be done each time, how long)?

I think the main thing is not to have your impeller be jammed with snow or slush, and having it freezing up on you.

My new machine tips: extra shear pins/bolts, correctly adjusted skid shoes, and scraper bar, never-seize the impellers and augers, never-seize the wheel axles and I also like to have a yellow headlight on my blowers.

Good Luck,

John

I think the Ariens  11526DLE Snow Blower, would have the power. You may want to buy tire chains if you have a steep driveway. That would be a nice outfit then.

Good Luck,  John

I do not think the magneto is your issue.  IMHO, it's time to clean the carb.

Good Luck,  John

Great post "PCPC",

One other area that you may want to never-seize / grease to the track cog wheel shafts.  You can loosen the tension and wiggle the wheels off the shafts.  We also sprayed some lithium grease on the tension adjuster bolts then too.  On my fathers tracked Honda, they were all  assembled dry.

Good Luck,  John
