2 feet of snow so far today. Everything was working fine on my first few passes. I took an hour break and went back to blowing snow, except this time when I got the 2650 going, and engaged the mid pto, the chute was rattling something fierce. It shakes forwards and backwards.
The engine bay and the whole cab was shaking. Something changed. Its almost as if the shaking is the same when I raise the snowblower off the ground to realign my wheels so I can make a turn, but then when I put it in float it won't stop shaking.
I'm able to rotate the chute without any issues and the auger works well enough. I had no choice but to do a few more passes to keep the snow down on the road and it worked OK, just the rattling of the cab is now starting to make some squeaking sounds as if something is off now. I checked the bolts that appear to hold the chute in place and it seems tight.
I cleaned it off and put the heat on in the garage to melt the snow off. I'll give it another hour before I get back out.
Any suggestions on what I can check?
Thanks!
