Ariens Snowblower Screw Question, Please: Metric ?
Hi,
Have a several year old Ariens Snowblower. Can't seem to find a parts list for it. Question: The bearing blocks on the side plates that hold the Auger shaft Are the screws most likely Metric or English ? Thanks, Bob |

Any bolt I've dealt with on my SnoTek (Ariens) have been metric, but it's only about 5 years old. Why do you ask? Why don't you take one out and check it? I know you called it a screw, but is a bolt or a screw? If it's a bolt, only the proper socket will fit properly, so you'll know right away. If it's a screw, take it out and go to a home center that has a thread gauge. Good luck! |

I know either Lowes or HD, probably both, have threads mounted on a display by the slide out specialty bolt bins, that you can use to check and match. Like you said, take one out and match it. |

Thanks, Bob If it is a REAL Ariens unit built in the USA most likely SAE threads. If it is the low priced big-box store Ariens built in China, most likely metric. Of course, it could be American and metric - not likely Chinese and SAE |
