Snowblower Chute keeps cracking.
I have a Troy-Bilt 8526 snowblower and am using it on our gravel
driveway. Occasionally, it picks up some loose gravel. Most of the time when that happens, it's not a big deal. However, lately it seems that I keep picking up sharper rocks and it puts a hole through or cracks the chute that the snow blows out of. The chute is a hard plastic. Does anyone have any ideas on how to strengthen the chute? Maybe something I can coat the inside of it with to resist cracking from the stones? The only idea I've come up with is to layer some duct tape on the inside. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks... |

Check with a marine supply or a boat repair shop and see if you can fiberglass it. -- Rich Greenberg N6LRT Marietta, GA, USA richgr atsign panix.com + 1 770 321 6507 Eastern time zone.
