@DavidBarkey Are you referring to how I mounted it with the lips on the backside of the housing? The nuts are hidden and you can't see them.

Dave, my sb48 caster does not have that lip welded on it. That is between the chute opening and the top flange running along the housing correct?

Yes sir . This is an older caster . L-84 I beleave , but could be wrong . Can't read the tag. I have not dealt with a lot of Case casters so not positive on how to identify models .

How much clearance there Dave with those. ?
Hehehehe, domestic duties.
And in that picture, I can see what looks like your auger sprocket is much smaller than mine. But I get picture tomorrow and see for sure.

I always thought an idler sprocket to take up the slack in the chain would be a good idea. I just haven't got into the engineering of it! What are your ideas of that!

You would think that if it needed one the Case designers would have put one there. Neither of my Case throwers have any chain idlers. My John Deere snow thrower does have a sprocket chain idler. My Ford thrower has a plastic chain idler. So do the Case ones need one. Or not. ? Hard to say.
