Hi Frank

I just wanted to get back to you on the #50 Roller Chain issue. We just got some new snow on the wkd & I had a chance to try out the Snow Blower.

I took your advice & tightened up the chain tension by adjusting the idler sprocket. It now has about 1/2 inch of play in the longest span. - & seems to be working a lot smoother.

I did a close inspection of the teeth on all 3 sprockets & all teeth seem intact but maybe a little worn. I found my heavy duty axle grease & lathered up the chain & main pinion gear. I agree the heavy grease has more staying power.

Thanks for pinpointing the problem! :)
Regards,
Kirk
