The first snow came today – and I swapped the belt on a snow blower

Filed under #lifeInNorway

First snow of the season falling on the flowers in the garden.

Today the first snow of the season arrived.

A friend of mine had asked me to help him with the drive belt on his snow blower and today we fixed it.

It turned out to be really simple: the fan attachment was held in place by four 13mm bolts. I took out four and loosened the fourth, pulled the attachment slightly away from the motor and then I could pull out the old belt and insert the new.
