Congrats on the nice 1811 Tom and welcome!
The 1811 is an awesome GT. I sold one this summer to a friend. I miss it.
The steering is hard to turn with a blower on the front if the grease zerks haven't been regularly pumped with grease. The steering gear can take a lot of grease. I put some high performance Teflon lube down the steering wheel shaft and in the tie rod ends and I think that helps a lot. I also use a spinner on the wheel.
It looks as though the auger is a little bent on the snow blower. I use a large Crescent wrench, or two, to straighten my auger if it needs it.
Have fun this winter blowing snow!
