Looks like you got a good deal.

Looks like it’s missing the cover that goes over the chain and sprocket/tensioner on the backside of the snowthrower. P/n 548-193-R1 for a 36 or 548-194-R1 for a 42.

That’s a good deal! Congrats!

An unnecessary part..... works fine without it.
You posted the same part number twice, you know....

There are a lot of unnecessary parts. Hoods. Grilles. Fenders. Shields. Some people like to have all of them on their equipment.

And yes, you’re right, it will work fine without it.

548-193-R1 is called out differently then 548-194-R1 in the CPE-2. I don’t know what the actual difference is between them, but they have different part numbers.

Shouldn’t be too hard to find one, but I’d imagine that’s one of the more often lost parts on most snowthrowers.

I really thought that I read the same part number twice in your original post. Did you fix it, or did I just read it wrong?

I don't consider a hood, grille or fenders unnecessary. They serve a purpose and change the look of the machine if missing. I also understand that a shield has a purpose. But, I also know where not to stick my fingers when around equipment. So, some things are just in the way. Also, it is just a small piece of bent metal. If you are handy at all with metal, one could be made pretty quick. It would take longer for the paint to dry than to make it. I have a CPE-2 parts book. I promise, if they have different part numbers, they are different.


When I stated that nothing appears to be missing, I was referring more to the fact the OP said it was missing some king of tensioner. I don't see anything missing pertinent to the operation of the machine. I have no idea what he thinks is missing. But the pics aren't very good of the blower either. Maybe something is missing and I just can't see it.

Fantastic purchase!!!!! Amen!

I'm sure in time, the 127 is going to be operating flawlessly!!! I did forget to mention a 127 being a great tiller/snow blower combo garden tractor

Nope didn’t touch it. Must just have read it wrong.

I was just replying to him saying that it was missing a cover and tensioner. I can’t see a clear picture of the tensioner, but I’d assume it’s there, and it’s definitely missing the cover.

OP The only tension adjustment on those blowers is the two bolts that go through the mounting block for the drive sprocket. It’s just s chain around the auger, and one around that sprocket. Make yourself familiar with the technical library here and you’ll find pretty much everything you’ll ever need to know about these things.

My bad then.

No, there are two. One is a tensioner on the gearbox for the drive belt. Screw type and lever that move the gearbox up and down to tension the belt.

The the second one is where you stated.

Good deal, the headlights and complete grill is a plus. Hopefully it has a spring assist, likely does with those two heavy implements.

[Marko141]

The guy I got it from said he used the tiller the past spring for his garden which is how long it had been since it was last moved and last run. Should have everything I need for the tiller. He even had the original belts that came on it.

I do I have some serious plans for the 127 though. I think for now I will just get it tuned up and everything working. Then after the Spring when I use the tiller I may take it somewhat apart and paint it all up.
