And then... Misadventures with Snow Blowers


So, my Troy-Bilt 28" had some issues. Thankfully, the auger cable arrived quickly and was relatively easy to install. Then, as the next storm hit... the auger belt broke. The woodland creatures nearby learned some new swear words that day. Thankfully, I had two backup auger belts for just such an emergency. That is not an easy replacement to make; it takes a bit of time. During the course of the install of the new belt, I got a chance to inspect the machine's inside. The lid over the bottom is rusting a bit. Be mindful of this One screw hole is already useless so I will need to deal with that soon. In any event, I thought readers would get a kick out of my continued snow blower mishaps. For the record, this is the first time this snow blower needed an auger belt replaced as far as I can remember... and it's getting close to 7-8 years old. Not bad.
