A sheave/sprocket tension adjustment and alignment tool (STAT) for adjusting alignment between a sheave/sprocket of a motor and a sheave/sprocket of an application machine includes a plate, a securing unit, and an adjusting unit. The plate has a first side and a second side, each of which is an opposite side of a plane of the plate. The securing unit is coupled to the first side of the plate and is configured to protrude in a first direction from the first side of the plate. The adjusting unit is coupled to a second side of the plate. The adjusting unit includes an adjustable protrusion that is configured to adjustably protrude in a second direction, which is substantially parallel to the plane of the plate.

A driving system for driving at least one auger of a snow removing device comprising at least one at least one self-adjusting chain tensioner. A first portion of the driving system is positioned within an auger housing and a second portion of the driving system is positioned outside the auger housing. The roller chain is adapted to move across a third opening provided in the auger housing. The first portion is covered by a front guard to prevent snow or debris contained in the auger housing to contact said first portion. The front guard is provided with an opening adapted to surround a portion of a shaft element of the auger with a play between periphery of the opening and the periphery of a corresponding portion the shaft element. The play is either small enough to prevent water and or debris to enter the first casing, or filled with a filling element and/or covered with a sealing element secured to the front guard or the corresponding portion of the shaft element of the at least one auger, to have the play small enough to prevent water and/or debris to enter the first casing. The second portion prevent snow or debris present around the snow removing device to contact the said second portion. A snow blower provided with the driving system, a kit comprising parts and/or components of the driving system, a method for assembling the driving system, and a method for manufacturing some components or parts of the driving system.

A drivetrain system for a reverse trike configured to transmit power from the motor to the rear wheel includes a first and a second drive chain being the only two drive chains utilized. A jackshaft has at one end a first universal joint connected to a first jackshaft sprocket and at an opposite end has a second universal joint connected to a second jackshaft sprocket. The first drive chain is connected between the motor output sprocket and the first jackshaft sprocket. The second drive chain is connected between the second jackshaft sprocket and the rear wheel drive sprocket. The first jackshaft sprocket is rotatably attached to the frame and configured to be movable away from and towards the motor output sprocket. The second jackshaft sprocket is rotatably attached to the frame and configured to be movable away from and towards the rear wheel drive sprocket.
