Make sure the drive works perfect when the machine is above 32F, 0C, (in a heated garage overnight) and you are NOT blowing snow just to make sure you are on the right track.

I only mentioned this as any diagnosis is only as good as the info supplied.

Yes, it does work perfect when warm and dry. It also works perfect for about the first 10-15 minutes of blowing snow then starts the slipping.

I was able to dig these up from my work email. These are for 926,XXX series model numbers only.

52605600          Kit, Engine Baffle  -- All Tecumseh (except 13hp)

52605700          Kit, Engine Baffle – 13HP Tecumseh only

52605800          Kit, Engine Baffle – All Briggs

The install might take 15 minutes if you need one of these, but check those two adjustments first.

Well, I did double check the adjustments and adjusted to the tightside with little if any change. It has been a while since we had blowable snow but we did yesterday. It was fine at first and I was thinking "Great, it is fixed". All of a sudden it started slipping again. Because of the delay I have a feeling it is the water getting on it.

Do you have any instructions on installing this baffle and is it something that Ariens would cover under warranty? The blower was bought new last spring.

Thanks

Do you have any idea of the cost of the first kit?

Paul,

Thanks for the reply. I am actually just east of you in Manitowoc. It was the snow yesterday that gave me the problems although I do remember it happening some last year.

My model number is 926004 S/N 001471.

I look forward to your response on this.

I have an Ariens 926Pro that is loosing the power to the wheels in all forward and reverse speeds. I will work fine for one push and all of a sudden stop driving. Then it will be back to normal and nothing again.

Any tips and tricks appreciated.
