Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Can anyone help me with this problem ?

I have a 2 stage - 5 hp  ( FORD ST524 )  snowblower and it runs and operates great ?

It has 5 forward & 1 reverse speeds.

The only problem is , when you put the snow blower in reverse it creeps slower than a turtle !!

It gets to the point that you have to drag it backwards - to get the snow blowing done ?

Any help or suggestions would greatly be appreciated ?

I am getting very frustrated with this machine Please send HELP !!

Thanks for your time and effort - Jim T.

try adjusting your shifter lever, if it drives proberly in the other gears its probally just need an adjusted,  your friction plate may be worn out may need replacment.
