hi,
i got this ariens snowblower for free from a friend. it didnt run, but i did a carb clean and now its running great
also, the auger didnt spin and he said he thought it needed a pin
turns out all the shear pins etc were good, so i checked the belt--- it was off the pulley and beaten up. i took it off and just bought a new one..
however i am curious of the following
it appears that this machine only has one belt from the motor to the drive pulley, and then the auger clutch engages to the drive pulley..
but with no belt, the drive pulley spins freely even with the machine in gear. should it be locked with the wheels?? i am curious whether this belt is going to have me ready for winter or if theres another issue i need to figure out.
thanks in advance
