Hi trout2' I pulled the gear off that drives the the chain that moves the wheels. Apparently I put the gear on backwards when it fell off. As a result, the chain was jammed up to the gear and would not move. My biggest problem was that I could not get a good look at all the parts. Everything is working great now, thanks for all the help.

I had the wheels off, the axle won't turn unless the engine is running and I engage the drive disc wheel. I also made sure of all the adjustments and the disc wheel has 1/8 gap when the lever is not applied. Even when I had the disc drive off, the axle to the wheels would not turn. I did not realize this was a problem when kI putt all back together. Thanks.

The axle itself won't turn. I made sure that the disc drive wheel has clearance and the forward and reverse speeds are correct. The chain drive is not turning when the machine is off. This was not a problem to begin with, it onlyhAppened after I installed the new drive disc wheel.

I just put a new drive wheel on my 2003 ariens 8hp 24 " snowblower and now the wheels won't turn when the engine is off. when engine is running the wheels go fine in forward and reverse. This problem was not here before I changed the drive wheel. Any help would be great. I checked the free play off the drive wheel, and it is 1/8 " when the drive handle is not engaged.
