Re: MTD, locked up, auger won't spin

I took the rubber piece out, that seems to be what was stopping it from starting before. It was too narrow of a piece to part of a belt though.   Where is the shearing pin located?  I suppose it would be useful if i had a manual.

OK, got it started.  I looked at the auger and there was a small piece of rubber wrapped around the pole where the auger is bolted in.  Now it makes a loud squealing noise when it's running and dies as soon as i try to engage it. Any idea what may be causing this? 

Thanks again,

Mark
MTD, locked up, auger won't spin

Hello All,
First time on here.  I have an older MTD and I pulled it out to use it the other day and it started up just fine.  It was used a couple weeks ago.  When I pulled the lever to engage the auger, the engine died and it would not start back up.  The pull cord is hard to pull and the auger won't turn by hand.  Any ideas?  Your help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark
