Snowblower blues
No this isn't a thread about gay Eskimo's.

Had a dandy of a storm last night, so yesterday I moved my snowblower from it's "summer resting location" to beside the back deck last night.

At the end of last season I ran it dry of gas to avoid gumming, and while it was stored outside, it was in a sheltered under an awning (3 sides closed) attatched to my shed with my tractor.

Added some gas this morning, it ran rough for a while then streightened up after 5 mins or so. (Next year I'll do a gas treatment before I lay it up.)


When I start my snow blower, it runs fine.
auger works fine,
but I can not get any power to the drive wheels.
The unit is a Murry 14.50/29 9 months old, and used twice last season.

While trying to solve the problem, I even leaned it back while running to see if I could shake it loose.

I did discover a broken sheer pin in one of the augers, I replaced that.

At one point I did see some black smoke which I figured after searching on line was probably the drive belt melting down.

Haven't taken it apart as of yet,
Any advice?
And yes I already caled some one to plow me out. gotta get to work sometime today

Probably a bent dingle arm. This by itself isn’t so bad but it causes a misalignment of the Marzen veins to the lunar Wayne shaft and you have to get that taken care of before you wind up blowing a Johnson rod.

That sounds like a huge pain in the ass! I hope you have some place warm to work on that thing.

A bucket of stem should fix the dingel arm, while 2 cans of compression installed with a left hand screwdriver just might shape it back .

No shop, or garage? I would guess the shed has no heat? (other than the embers of the weed)

Yes, but don't forget to check the muffler bearings and the spark plug fluid!

The shed ain't big enough, (although I do have a space heater for warmoing up between rounds of frozen mechanics on the fly.)
Other than that ya just put on a set of ear muffs when it hit's -35 and deal with it.

STILL HAVEN"T GOTTEN A BELT!!! The dealer can't find one

There are basically 3 parts that cause problems on a snowblower that the owner can readily repair - shear pins, auger belt, and the drive belt.

Is the pully for the drive or auger?
