Default Snow clogging chute
Is it just me or does everyone have a problem with the chute getting clogged when trying to blow snow that is somewhat wet and heavy??
My wife wanted me to try spraying the chute with cooking spray but I didnt think it would work, but now I'm thinking she may be right.

Nope sorry, you are the only one.

Yeah ok, there may have been one or two other people here who have had the same issue.

They say cooking spray works well, never done that myself. There is some paint called "slip plate" that works very well... It's a graphite based paint.

I've used the generic PAM cooking spray on the chute and it works well.

Try it!

But be sure to go back and apologize to your wife for not listening to her, and tell her she was right and had a good idea.......

I've also used Prestone Snow and Ice Remover (in a see through yellow spray bottle) and I was very pleased with those results and my chute is rusty. Just make sure that it is clear of snow and ice before you spray it.

I get some candles from my wife's bin and rub the candles on the chute to get a thick layer of wax. Made it through 10" of heavy stuff last week pretty well. Bonus was I picked a scented candle, smelled better than freshly sanded rust. And what j-mech said, the only clogs I got were going slow at the end of a pass.

PB blaster makes a dry lube spray that works good. Home Depot has it.

I have used the cheapy generic equivalent of PAM, as well as silicone spray.

Best long-term fix is sand off rust, prime and paint with GOOD enamel paint.

I have heard of using a clear coat like poly-urethane over a good paint job, but haven't tried that.

Regards

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
