Shear bolts are definitely in tact. I'll start looking into the belt. Thanks.
Auger turning slowly
#2   Feb 15, 2007 8:33 am
Used my 2001 Ariens 824 yesterday with a heavy, slushy snow. As usual, it cut through the stuff pretty well. Towards the end of two tough hours, it clogged. I got everything unclogged from both the auger and the second stage, and the auger would spin, but only at a slower than normal pace, not powerful enough to throw anything out, so it clogged again. While using it in the heavy stuff, I could hear a whistling sound from time to time as I eased into the snow (a belt burning??). Now, it's only turning slowly. Any ideas?
