Everything's good except one thing

20 hours ago
When throwing the snow to the left the direction changes to center if I'm not holding the direction knob. Pretty annoying. It doesn't move from right to center. Just left goes to center. Used 4 times.

Disappointing

22 hours ago
At least one or two shear bolts break every time I use it, even in light snow with no ice or rocks. Poor design, and a chronic problem with this model.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Snowblower Wheel Locking Pins for 3/4-wheel shafts

4 days ago
I am having an issue with the wheels...the wheel pins used to hold them in place keep snapping/breaking. I bought the specific replacement pins at Canadian Tire and they only lasted minutes. Any idea why they keep snapping.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Works well but light & hand grips warmer don't work

5 days ago
My husband purchased this as we had 2 feet of snow in a week and kept snowing. We got tired of shoveling 2-3 times a day. Machine works well and as a 5'2" woman, I'm able to use it myself and easy to maneuver. However, the LED lights and hand grips warmer don't work. This snowblower has been out of stock for the last month and there's no point of exchanging when it's out of stock due to the high demand. I also emailed service@jd.com--whatever email this company has provided their email address to other customer reviews who are having issues--for assistance but I haven't heard back. Please respond to my email as I would like have the LED lights and hand grips warmer to work.

Questions

Q: I just bought Briggs & Stratton 1696828 306cc.  The oil dipstick has no "Add - Full" fill line as per the manual p.13. It is totally blank. Please inform me where exactly I should be filling the oil to without guessing or is this a faulty dipstick?

3 years ago
4 Answers
  • A: I believe you have a faulty dipstick. Mine is 12 5/8" in length (not including the cap) and has 2 holes near the end to indicate full and low. The first hole is 3/8" from the end and the second 1 1/16". The dipstick is spring steel so drilling holes would be difficult. Suggest you mark it lightly with a grinder or stone. Cheers.

Q: hello is there forward and reverse this machine ? thanks

2 years ago
2 Answers
  • A: Yes, the unit has six forward and two reverse speeds. Reversing is not very fast but even at speed level 1, this unit can run quite quickly for snow cutting. Speed can be further managed with the engine speed that has a slide lever to control the rpm's of the engine. Unit is quite large and cuts a significant path when moderate snow levels are experienced.
