Ariens 924036 Drive
Original Message   Dec 4, 2010 10:36 am
I have an old Ariens 5 hp Mod #924036 snowblower that runs great.  Problem is the drive wheels.  How does the drive plate make contact with the friction wheel?   I've adjusted the handle all the way out and it still doesn"t make solid contact.  I've also replaced the friction wheel and that hasn't helped.  It seems to have solid contact in reverse, and it does drive slightly in the forward speeds.  Could the drive plate be uneven?  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  Anticipating the first snow soon.

Thanks a lot.  I'm going to separate the auger and quit for the day.  It looks like I'll replace the belts while I'm at it.  Looks to me like it needs a good lube.  Thanks again.

OK, if you need more help some pictures might help.  I don't have any pictures of mine apart and I don't feel like taking it apart right now :)

When I picked up mine the lever would not come back up on its own.  I had to pull it back up to disengage the drive.

Brought tractor into work.  Removed flywheel and found the fork that moves the spindle was broken.  Quite a job getting the piece out.  Mechanic will clean and re-weld the part and should be good to go.  Needs some lubrication.  Thanks for the advice.
