and it fooled me and came right off! Taking my big (5') tractor mounted snowblower apart to do a little corrosion control. Got everything I really needed to take off done. I hadn't pissed myself off in a few days so I decided to see if I could get the impeller off so I could sand and paint the blower housing. Usually, they're corroded in place and won't come off without Herculean effort. I pulled up my jeans, tightened my belt, reviewed my vocabulary and went to work. It's held onto the shaft with a bolt through the nose, bolt came right out. Grabbed the impeller and wiggled just for shits and grins and damned if it didn't move! In fact, 30 seconds of wiggling and pulling and it came right off. I've worked on crap like that pretty much all my life. I don't think I've EVER been more surprised.

Look on the bright side, maybe reassembly will turn into a complete clusterfuck so you dont have to waste all the good swear words you have chambered | |||

Entirely possible. I ordered a new sprocket for the auger drive. The blower is a Pronovost, which is made in Canada, so the part was ordered from a Maine dealer but is coming from Canada. They won't know the final price until they get it shipped in to them. Between Canadian postage and border duties/tariffs (it's a steel sprocket) their best guess was $65 to $75, plus another $20 for them to UPS it to me. (Nearest dealer is 100+ miles away...)

You'll be fine. That part won't fit when it gets here. After the first 30" snowfall... "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

This. I'd wear gloves during reassembly. I see scraped knuckles in your future. This is how it always works for me.  Jim ________________________ "If you can't be a good example, then you'll have to be a horrible warning" -Catherine Aird | |||

Very true. And with the various meds I'm on, a simple scratch bleeds like I've been beat with the sharp end of an axe... Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Your part will be delivered very timely.... in July 2019. Perfect for mud/snow melt season. Andrew Duty is the sublimest word in the English Language - Gen Robert E Lee. | |||

You may have missed out on a snowblower disassembly goatfuck, but no problem... my snowblower doubled down to take up the slack. === I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly. | |||

Odds of it coming apart like this again without any wholesale quantities of swear words & enough blood loss to make the Red Cross jealous? Powerball should be a done deal. | |||

That always seems to be the way it works. I went out to change the oil in my compact utility Diesel tractor....I could not believe how big a problem that was. It took a whole lot longer than it should have. NRA Life Endowment member Tri-State Gun collectors Life Member | |||
