e-SnowBlowers.com Outlines the Major Snow Blower Parts
by Ross Bainbridge
(PRWEB) September 22, 2005 -- According to e-SnowBlowers.com, you can maximize efficiency, dependability and ease of use with a number of snow blower parts. A good snow blower with a conscientious owner can last up to 30 years or more when cared for properly. As e-SnowBlower.com explains, the following items are the most important parts for your snow blower. Covers A heavy-duty cover will protect your snow blower when not in use. Drift Cutters If you want to create sharp, aesthetically pleasing edges to your snow banks, either buy a snow blower that has a built-in drift cutter or buy a conversion kit. These are also known as drift breakers. Electric Starters There are two kinds of starters: Electric and recoil. Electric uses a simple button, while recoil uses a cord that you yank. Some starters use a combination of the two. You can convert recoil starters to electric by getting an electric starter kit. They are available for both two-cycle and four-cycle engines. Gas, Oil, and Stabilizer Two-cycle engines are for smaller jobs and use a gas/oil mixture, along with a stabilizer: A liquid that keeps the gas/oil mixture from breaking down over time. Stabilizer also slows long-term build-up of deposits in the carburetor. Four-cycle engines are for bigger jobs, use separate gas and oil feeds and do not require stabilizer, but they do require periodic oil changes. Headlights You can buy sealed beam or halogen lights to mount on your snow blower, if it didn’t already come with one. This will make it safe to operate before dawn or after sunset. Shear Pins Most augers are connected to the auger shaft with shear pins. These pins break off if you hit an impasse while using your snow blower, thus saving the auger gear case from breakdown. Snow Cabs Protect yourself from sub-zero temperatures and snow flurries with a snow cab. Usually made of heavy-duty vinyl and freeze-resistant polyethylene, snow cabs attach to the handlebars of your dual stage snow blower. Snow Tire Chains For added traction and maneuverability in icy conditions, you can wrap your tires in special snow chains. They come in various sizes and weave patterns to fit your particular tire.
