How to Lubricate the Auger Drive Belts on a Toro Snowblower

Snow blowers, also referred to as snow throwers, are yard machines that clear snow-covered driveways and sidewalks. Snow throwers are push-style, walk-behind gas-powered machines. The auger on the Toro snow blower is a spinning mechanism that churns and tosses the snow out of a chute. The augers are driven by an auger drive belt. The auger drive belt is one part of the Toro snow blower that needs servicing, in the form of lubrication, from time to time.
