wow,

I just had the same problem with my 1332le which worked great until I pushed it during a massive storm and burned out the belt.  I brought it two an incompetent shop twice and the belt started slipping.

I opened it myself and adjusted the auger clutch 'wheel thing' so that it pushes harder against the belt and it has improved alot, but I think some belt damage has been done by it being too loose and I don't think the shop used a good belt.

So I know what this machine is SUPPOSED to do.  We just had about 12-14" in NJ, of wettish, but not slush snow.  Right now I smell burning belt when only cutting about 16" and it only throws about 4 feet using the slowest forward speed.  If memory serves i should be able to cut 32" inches at 2nd speed with snow flying out pretty darn strong and no belt damage or burning.  Is that what you are seeing now?
