Doing something wrong? Ariens 8524
Original Message   Feb 12, 2006 9:41 pm
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.

Steve
