Question:
Wiggly auger hub, 1830HV snow thrower.
The auger hub on our (one year old) 1830HV snow thrower is so loosely in position that it can easily be moved by hand, up and down, through an inch or more of play. Our dealer said that it might be ok like that, but that some models have a flange holding the auger steady in the center, and that possibly our machine could be retrofitted to add this support. We are concerned.. is this looseness the way it is supposed to be? What if anything is wrong? (The first thing we did was to check all the shear bolts. They are all ok.) What should we do?
