Re: Ariens 1130DLE 921003 How to remove the wheels?

Thanks Borat;
I am after heating it up enough to burn the paint now and still no give. I am giving up on it and bringing it to the dealer. No choice, snow soon and this needs to be done. I do have another question tho, in snowmans post to me, he advises me to be careful with the short axle on the right side. Making sure not to pull it out of the differential. My question is why? If I pull it out will it not go back in or will it cause damage of some sort? I am thinking I would like to pull it out so that I can put some never seez on between the short axle and the axle under it. After all this rust, I can't seem to justify stopping at just the wheel when the short axle could easily rust on to the axle under it. So if I pull it out, what are the consequences?
Cheers
Goofie Newfie No worries about pulling the axle out of the differential as long as it goes back together the way you found it. There are some thin wall bronze bushings in that axle that are not so readily apparent. I could see someone pushing one of those out upon reassembly and not notice it. PK

Not sure why you would buy new a product from half a decade ago. There have been many advancements since then. The more recent units with a high power density relative to width are: Ariens 926010 ST11526DLE Briggs powered (11.5hp 26" wide) Ariens 926012 ST1328DLE Briggs powered (13hp 28" wide) |

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

I was in Sears recently, and noticed that their top model (#88106) is a Husqvarna. It just has the Craftsman label and red paint. I had to laugh. The salesperson admitted it is a Husky.
I have the brand new 2008 Craftsman snow blower brochure (the exact one on their web site), but all models listed there have the usual 6/2 drives except one model that has only one speed. However, if Craftsman is introducing hydro drives after the brochure was produced, I have to wonder if this feature will spread to all major snowblower brands. Since there are only a handful of real players (AYP, MTD, Ariens, Toro, Briggs/Murray/Simplicity/Snapper, etc.), I don't think it's too hard to imagine. Husqvarna already has hydro drive on their top three models for 2008 (I have the brochure). That was certainly a nice surprise. By the way, Husqvarna is owned by MTD, but is under the Poulan camp which is also owned by MTD. This corporate layering gets to be ridiculous. Uh, no. Husqvarna is not owned by MTD, nor is Poulan.

Snowmann: How long has Ariens been using the dual belts for the auger drive? Any particular models within recent years, or the whole line? Thanks. All 921,XXX and 926,XXX models built in the last 2 seasons.

The only thing holding the wheels on are the flat clips on the end. They need to be slid straight off. Careful on the right side so you don't slide the short tube axle right out of the differential. If they were not anti-seized well at the plant you may need to use penetrant (WD40, PB Blaster, etc).
