If the wheel actually is out of balance you can experiment with placing weights at different points rotationally using that same bench vise technique.

If you end up in the market you might want to see if the later motor/wheel will fit, seems to have had more design effort go into it.

Bent shaft... Hmmmm. Good idea to check that before getting new blower. TY Will.

Thought about attempting a balancing act but who knows how long that would take. Would rather spend a few dollars on a done deal. ...Something just occurred to me given balancing thoughts. There is what appears to be a weight on one of blower's blades...



Took this photo after cleaning blower many weeks ago. Fact that this "weight" is not centered in length of blade might be throwing balance off. Before anything else... am going to move this weight around on blade. We'll see what happens.
