Traction Drive won't engage
Original Message   Dec 20, 2007 9:08 am
I have a craftsman 8HP snowthrower. I don't have model number cause i'm at work right now.

Had pretty big snow storm other day. Used the machine with no problems. I've always used the machine correctly, (ie not shifting gears while still moving.) Went to use next day and the traction drive no longer engages. Went through the troubleshooting section of my manual. Belts look good. Only other thing i can find that may be possibly wrong is the friction plate. Before i start working on the machine I wanted to ask if anyone had any other idea's I should check before I check the plate. After reading the guide looks like it's gonna take a nice amount of time to do that and it's freezing outside, so hoping I don't have to go that route.
