Chain guides .
uhmw plastic and bolted in place .
Set the auger as close to the shell as the adjuster will get it . New piece of chain and the larger sprocket and the guide take up the slack and keep the chain from slapping the housing .

Re: snow caster mods.
I don't know Dave, doesn't the plastic add some friction?
I'd have thought you'll tension the chain with an idle sprocket on spring loaded arm.

Re: snow caster mods.
I looked in to it and there is not enough room . This is is a bearing material and when wet(snow) is supper slippery and has a very high wear factor .

Re: snow caster mods.
There would be friction hp loss no matter what you put in there. A good hardwood block like Apple ,or what ever you like, would work good. Just my ramble.

Re: snow caster mods.
Nice work Dave. My Berco has similar chain guides. I think they are plastic and spring loaded on the non tension side of the chain. If you want I can get pictures. Might have to wait for the weekend.

Re: snow caster mods.
That umhw material seems to have pretty magical properties. but the cheapest source I can find is ebay, and is not that cheap either. Dave, any local source?
