Hi,
I have a John Deere X360 with the 44 inches snowblower attachment. Today facing the first significant snowfall, it was not able to blow any snow beyond about an inch. All 4 shear bolts are fine and the auger turns normally. The impeller itself seems loose on the shaft and seems to be a cheap plastic part molded around the shaft which became loose through normal use but after only 2 winters and not that many storms.
I will get a new impeller assembly but wonder if this is a common problem and if there is a fix to reinforce it such as adding a shear bolt through the plastic impeller and shaft.
Anyone has faced this problem and found a way to fix/prevent it?
Thanks in advance,
Bruno
