Insurance - SnowBlower Driven Pulley

Recommended Posts

Getting ready for winter after finally getting done with leaves.  

While prepping the snowblower, I noticed the driven pulley was loose- again.  It's been a nagging issue over the years; I've even had them come completely off the shaft during use and that's definitely not a fun "repair".  At least this time I found it before the pulley came completely off.  

So I decided to add some insurance to keep the pulley firmly attached  (besides torquing the square head set screw per the IPL and adding loctite):

There was just enough shaft sticking out to add a single screw clamping shaft collar - even got a stainless one ($12.35 from Grainger).  I think this setup should solve the problem.
