Perfect, that's "free!"

I had a leftover length of trex-like board that the previous property owner had left behind. I used that as the cutting edge (as you alluded to) to see how it would work. Two winters, still going strong. Have not flipped it over yet. Not enough ground down to do so.

FINALLY removed spring #70 (see Wolfman's post #122), WAY better. Also tried out GreensvilleJay's suggestion of a recoil type rope (I actually used bailing wire) to remove the spring, worked great! Best improvement to date!

" 'alternating' augers keeps too much snow from plugging up the blower section" The "alternating" augers is to keep a constant feed of snow feeding the blower. If they are in the same state, you would feed a lot of snow to the blower, then no snow, then a lot, etc... Alternating them...

Ah yes! I've seen the pic of your blower/others similar and always liked them. Look like snow-eating machines. 😁 (I kind of like the yellow ;) )

Don, you said, "I do not think rotating the auger 180 will work as the holes for the shear pins will not work! I think you have to swop right auger for left auger end for end!" You just unbolt one shear bolt, spin the auger on the shaft, then reinsert the shear bolt.

Hey Tiberius great job! Nice looking setup. One additional note, I "think" you need to rotate one side of the auger 180 degrees. On my blower manual, they state they should be "opposite" so it continually feeds the blower. When they are together, it will load the blower from both sides, then...

@Chuck B I was looking at your pictures of your auger blades. I'm new to Bota ownership, and I was recently pouring over all of the owner's manuals. I "think" you need to spin one of the augers 180 degrees. My manual states they need to be offset from each other. I looked at my used...
