Re: (ET) Bent / twisted frame



I had the same problem, probably from the snow thrower’s (early) design of 
motor location. 
I found an auto frame straightener who has a special device (not for auto 
frames, he was old school and practically drooled when i shared my 
predicament),  that he could clamp both ends and twist it in reverse. 
Experience told him how far to reverse in order for flat to result. IIRC 
$90. I then found bar steel that fit in the frame’s long edge recess and 
welded them in.. Should resist future torque. Mike
