Ariens 921001 drive question
Original Message   Feb 4, 2011 7:15 am
Quick question, during the blizzard, and removing snow for many neighbors,i found that at times the machine whould not drive the wheels. It would happen when driving into a drift.everything else seemed fine, its just the wheels didn't turn. I would back up, wait a second and go again.last night during some fine tuning removal she seemed normal. So should I check a belt or friction drive? I don't want to destroy something. It is in its third season and it has not made any odd noises at all... Thanks fort your expertise! Tony

You could also just need to tighten the adjustment up a little.  See your manual for proper adjustments.



Worked for me.  I tested by heading into a "wall" without the auger on and the wheels slipped instead of stalling.  At first my linkage was actually quite loose.  Now it's only barely loose. 

I think that the manual called for measuring the spring length before and after applying the tension.  It should stretch the spring about 1/2" (if memory serves me).

2011 Ariens Pro 28; Toro 210R, older Powerlite and a generic single stage w/ Tec. engine.

God Bless America!
