Hello Snowman,
thank you for the info.
Do you know where I can get an online manual for that model ?
also - what is the difference between the pro models and the deluxe model ?
thanks for your help. Pro model upgrades versus Deluxe, generally speaking: Cast Iron gearcase Larger housing 23.5" tall, and larger rakes 16" Beefier 12 gauge frame Handwarmers OHV engines 16" tires The 1332LE is the exception. It has all of these except CI gearcase (and no automatic differential). The 1130DLE Deluxe does have the automatic differential if that is something you require.

Re: Do Ariens snowblowers have Hydrostatic drives like Honda snowblowers ?

No hydrostatic transmissions.
Manuals are on the Ariens website.
Use model 921006 s/n# 000101 if you want to view the 1130DLE

You can shift into forward gears without declutching, just not from forward to reverse or vice versa.

Re: Ariens snowblower - that motor that moves the shoot - what do you think about this ?

On many models of snowblowers, I see a cable system that will move the snow shoot lever ( the one that ajusts the height of snow being shot out of the shoot )
however, it seems on the Ariens they use a motor system.
How does this thing work ? and does it work better than a cable system ?
I honestly don't understand how this motor is powered though ?
( I am talking about the long black pole that comes up at the front of the Ariens snowblowrs, and it has a large cap on it ) - I'm assuming this is a motorized system
that somehow adjusts the end of the snow shoot, so you can adjust how high or low you wish the snow to be shot out of the machine. It's not a motor. It's a gear set. There's still one cable in the mechanism to unlock the detent.

I'm planning on buying the 11 hp model:
http://www.ariens.com/products_snow/s_deluxe_1130dle_overview.aspx
does this model have the automatic steering ? .... the website does not say a word about this.
I'm talking about the ability to turn the snow blower to the left by pressing down on a handle, and it makes one wheel turn , and the othe stays still.
thank you for any help. This model does have the automatic differential. PK
