this is the second full winter (E. Mass) using this snowblower. For the second time, during one of the only real snowstorms of the year I have had the exact same problem:
There is a tenson spring for the drive mechanism is sheared. I've read a couple of posts here and there about this problem. I bought the snowblower because I didn't want to shovel. This is the second time I've had to shovel more than half the driveway. The auger continues to operate with no problem--just no forward or reverse drive. Is it possible that there is some kind of adjustment I need to make to keep the spring from shearing every year?
Thanks for any info.
