Supposed to stop snow from building up inside the blower/chute area. Mostly for the warmer wet sticky stuff that clings to your shovel.
I just went to TSC and picked up a can of Blaster/Silicone and sprayed the inside real good. We'll see what happens. My "Mut" (Diesel) is waiting for me to start the blower so he can bark at it! He barks at everything! Even when we start the washer, he'll stand there and bark at it!
What Lyle said! Actually I keep the other Blaster, PB rust breaker/penetrating spray... I didn't have a can of the silicone, but now that you mention it...
I snow blow through the yard. View from the deck. Cleared path turns left along screen house, then left back to the woodyard.
I might have found an extension cord with the blower once. Dang, that thing wrapped TIGHT around the auger! A coworker years ago grabbed an outside spigot with the auger, about 8’ of copper came with it! And there were waterworks in the basement. He was not happy that I got a good laugh in about it!
It really does work well with sticky snow until lubricant wear off which happens faster then you think..
I ran over a large plastic trash can lid once! Ended up burying the housing in snow and burning it out with a propane torch.
I Just found a Tennis ball from the pups the other day , Nothing hurt but it flung it pretty good! Looked pretty neat flying out of the chute! Came out with a good "Thump" though...
