Hi guys, I am in the middle of a beautiful snow happening here in Rhode Island. We got about two and a half feet in to days. Now, not a week later, we are going to get hit with another two or three day storm. We usually don't get anything like this. My family and friends think I'm crazy sitting in front of the TV rooting for a snow storm like its the New England Patriots or something. And here is why. I got my IH 147 and QA36A snow thrower operational just in time. I've been out there for three days throwing snow all over the neighborhood. I had no idea the thing was going to work as well as it does.
I am experiencing a problem with the belt adjuster. It is obviously designed to be turned by hand but no matter how much I lubricate it, it is imposable to turn by hand and there is no tool in my arsenal that will turn it I end up having to take the whole thing apart just to tighten it up.
Any suggestions?
