Ariens 824 hard shifting and slow moving
Original Message   Feb 19, 2009 2:25 pm
Hello all,
First time user here, be kind! :-) hopefully I can elaborate my problem with the Ariens 824 I have.   The last 3 times I have used it I have noticed that shifting from forward to reverse directions has been getting harder to do.  What I mean is the shift lever is very hard to move.

Today I noticed a new problem that seems related, if you have it in a low gear it barely moves without my helping it by pushing.  If I put it in a higher [faster] gear it moves but not as fast as it used too.

Is this a common problem that I can fix myself?  I am fairly handy, have replaced the belt that drives the stages, as well as changed the oil and plug etc.  It starts, runs, throws fine, it just does not go very good right now.


Model # 932100  serial #008177 purchased new around 2001.

thanks
ayb
