wilm169 1 Posted February 26, 2010 Depends on the amount of rust in the shoot, how wet the snow is, if you driving the right speed, and other things.:D:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burntime 1 Posted February 26, 2010 Big thing is keep it full of snow. Go at it harder then you think you should. It has to go somewhere once you throw it all in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Burntime 1 Posted February 26, 2010 Is the belt or clutch slipping? I assume you are running it off the front? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LPH-5 0 Posted February 26, 2010 On wet snow (32degree) Put auto wax on the spout or shoot & behind the auger, if there free of rust, are the Pulley's the right size, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a_sannine 801 Posted February 26, 2010 belt oand clutch not slipping it is turning great but the chute gets clogged , i'll try waxing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted R. Williams 0 Posted February 27, 2010 Are you running the Blower at full throttle ? Got to keep the throttle full! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brettw 1,019 Posted February 27, 2010 My 42" on the 7112 throws it all very well. It has only clogged one time, other than that, absolutely no complaints. If you are running off of a front PTO and are using the wrong size (too small) pulley, you may not have enough impeller speed. And as said above WOT all the time.

a_sannine 801 Posted February 27, 2010 just gave it a coat of high gloss , because i see some rust will try it tomorrow when it drys , i tried it at full speed , still clogging thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnMBerst 36 Posted February 27, 2010 While not A 42", I have a 36" which works great. Besides painting smooth, I used the cheap paint from Menard's black, I spray with a product called Jig-a-Loo which is also purchased from them. Works great, and on sale is .99 a can. Nothing sticks, and we do have wet snow here in WI. I do run WOT and keep the auger full. Do about 5 drives, and some area out back without problem. I watch how much is rolling out the sides of the front to gauge snow input. My .02.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a_sannine 801 Posted February 27, 2010 thank u will try that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goatfarmer 817 Posted February 27, 2010 Wet, mushy type snow will clog the chute. I really haven't found much you can do with it, but try what the others said. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LPH-5 0 Posted February 27, 2010 Like Ken says MUSHY snow will clog the chute, I got a B110 with a 36-single belt on it,(new paint on the blower with auto wax on it works good) It take a couple years, and in Different temp snow to make it work you will get the hang of it, Dont give up (unless you see tulips, then you can put it away,,Good Luck..

a_sannine 801 Posted February 27, 2010 a friend of mine told me to use map , grill spray , waiting until paint dry , to try it again thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Burntime 1 Posted February 27, 2010 I run everything form powder to slush thru mine. Yes the wet stuff will clog easier but usually hit it once or twice and it will blow free. I get maybe 2 clogs a year and usually blow them free... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RayS 79 Posted February 27, 2010 I agree rust in the chute is the biggest problem with clogging. Never have any problems with the two 42" blowers that I have. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
