Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): chain fell off my snowblower, sears craftsman, wheel assembly


Question
QUESTION: Hi John,
i have a Craftsman 536.906000. A couple days a go the one of the chains (the one with the extra sprocket) fell off and I am not able to rethread the chain. Can you tell me how to put it back on?
I'm not a mechanic but I can follow directions. I think it's the chain with the idler sprocket.
Thanks!
Chip

QUESTION: Hi John,
Thanks but the 536.906000 did not come up in the Sears/Craftsman section of the parts diagram that I saw. When you are looking at the back of the snow thrower, with the back removed it is the left chain, the one with three sprockets.
