How does this come apart? (snowblower)

[J-Mech]

You did good with the painting!!

Something you should probably know.....

The impeller and the housing it fits in really shouldn't have that good of paint on it. See, the snow will stick to the painted surfaces. A blower is kind of like a moldboard plow. You want the working parts to shine up so that they scour just like a plow. If you paint a moldboard plow and try to use it, the dirt sticks to it until it is shined up. I have a couple blowers to put back together before winter too, and may paint them. But not those areas. Took a long time to wear the paint off and get them to where they feed good.

This is my suggestion, but you take it as you see fit. Clean the paint off the paddles where the snow rides. Buff them till they shine. The circumference of the blower housing, do the same. The rest really doesn't matter too much. Snow doesn't stick to the augers too bad, but it will stick to the back side of the housing. Not really much you can do about that and it doesn't seem to affect the feed of it much. But it will blow snow farther if the impeller and the housing are shiny metal. Just my
