Husqvarna Genuine OEM Blower Cover - 531308201

good product needs more attention to how its good GO AFRICA

The three stars for this review is not on the Deluxe Snow Thrower Cab itself, which I have not had long enough yet to really test out. It is about their instructions and parts. Your inventory list shows that I should have 8 bolts, nuts, and washers, which according to the Parts Needed boxes are all you need. You provided me with 12 bolts but only 8 nuts and washers. In reality, I needed all 12 bolts and a total of 16 nuts. The Parts Needed diagram in Step 1 does not show that you need nuts (you do need them as shown in Figure 1). Step 7 shows the 8 nuts (that you already used) but does not show that you need any bolts. However, you do need the extra 4 bolts for the mounting posts (as shown in figure 3). This isn't a case of missing parts – it is a case where you don't even know how many nuts are needed to properly assemble the canopy! In Step 1, you tell me to securely fasten the mounting posts onto the frame, with no indication for the spacing. Then in Step 7 you have me lift the entire cab and try to hold it in place while I loosen the bolts (which you told me to tighten) and adjust the mounting brackets to the proper width – not a one person task. HINT TO OTHERS ASSEMBLING THIS ITEM: Go do Step 7 first and then you will be able to determine the proper spacing and orientation during Step 1 using just part of the frame without having to handle the entire cab. My only other comment is that the canopy is way wider than I expected, which means that 1) my snowblower now takes up way more space in my small garage, and 2) I cannot get close to some structures I used to get tight against (I already hit the electric meter with the edge of the canopy even though I thought I was well clear of it – user error and lesson learned).
