Why does each of the 2 blower paddles have a hole in the center ?? Also if I do the rubber mod and don't like it are the 2 holes gonna be a problem ??

Well, first, let's believe that auger (heck, the whole front of the blower) was made for multiple applications. So, who knows? One application may have had a rubber flap stock!

Two holes will be twice as bad (or good) as one. I can't imagine an issue, but if there were, it would be easy to plug them with a bolt.

Just a guess, but the two holes may be needed in the production process of the auger?

Just a guess, but I would not be surprised if it was a rigging attachment point used during assembly of the blower.

If you duct tape a harmonica over it, and then punch out the middle three holes, you get be first in the GT parade.

It also really works torqing people off when they read about the rubber flap improvement, and then they look at their own blower and realize they have to drill.

Sells more drill bits, too.

Now I understand why you get paid the big bucks here. I'd have never thought of that!
