John Deere 2210

HELP!! I own a JD 2210 with a 47" snowblower (front ount).
I have a couple of issues. I find it extremely noisy, like a rattling noise, when blowing light snow and operating at about 2900 rpm. does anyone else have this problem?

Also, my dealer could not tell me which way the driveshat that connects to the blower should go. What I mean is, one end has a sliding square shaft. Which end attaches to the PTO the sliding end or the other end?

Sounds like mine the other night. Either or both loose chain ,and chain needs grease or oil .
I'm like you for driveshaft....I couldn't find info anywhere saying to put sliding end toward front of tractor or to the rear.
I put the sliding end toward the front.

Dan,

That sounds about right. In heavy snow I can go full bore, in light snow I throttle back the rpm's so I don't have to listen to the driveline rattle.

ET might have set you on the right path regarding chains and lube, and I also saw a post a short time back where someone replaced the u-joints with CV joints. It looked like a permanent fix and was supposed to have cured that poster's problems.

Don't know if I'm right, but I'm with ET, sliding end towards the front.

I found a number of posts on this subject; click search at the top of the page and type in the search forums box "47" snowblower noise". There were a number of posts about this subject regarding retrofitting a CV joint.
