Hi Everyone:  One thing I haven't seen mentioned, starter in the back (instead of the driveshaft side), indicating two main bearings, most likely roller.  The engines with the starter on the driveshaft side are, I believe, single, plain main bearing engines, like old, inexpensive model airplane engines.  I know Ryobi at least makes both types.  Had bad luck with the cheap one, have  many hours on their "Pro" model.

Thanks a lot Snowman, guess I'll live, or maybe I'll fab something myself to see if it helps.

Hey thanks everyone but, I think Snowman rules.  The model is 924117, serial 001338, delivered 11/23/2002, and if I remember correctly, it was a leftover from the year before.
It has been a great machine with only routine maintenance, but this year I want to go completely through it, new belts, friction wheel, these extenders if I can come up with something
and I'm adding drift cutters.
Thanks again.

Hi Everyone:
When the chute on my 1024 is all the way to the right or left, I get a facefull of snow.  I seem to remember, a long time ago, discussion on this forum about some sort of side extenders for this problem, but couldn't bring anything up with a search.  I see new Ariens have a deeper U-cross section to their chutes.  Does anyone (Snowman) know if/how I could find the extenders?
Thanks in advance, great forum -- I lurk all the time.

Hi:
This may be my first post, but I've been lurking at this great site for a long time and I've learned a lot, thanks to all of you.
I've had this exact problem with my Ariens Pro 1024 a couple of times, and I've been able to fix it with a one-minute adjustment of the clutch cable, the adjuster on my machine is a nut where the cable attaches to a rod right near the housing.  If your machine hasn't been fully "taken up" this might work for you.  Good luck.
