actually I just noticed that the 24" has a pin lock instead of a hand operated one like the 27 deluxe, is that a pain?
I have the pin lock on a 24" Ariens and can only say you get buy with it as long as you turn to the same direction all the time.If the snow gets tuff you may need to lock both pins for good traction.
Lowes end of season deals !

I figured I'll let people know what I saw yesterday while I was out.

lowes has now the 1130se for $1000.00 and has the 928 for $900.00.

They also have Troybuilts at  good prices.

thanks, I really have no idea what a governer is or what to do.  If you can explain it, I can take the cowl off and try.  Is this something inexpensive to fix?  I can take it in for service if unless its something I can easily do with a little instruction.
Andre,
Do a search on this site with the word GOVERNER since in the recent past there has been some talk about problems with it in another thread.

Andre,

Sounds like a governer issue. Check if anything is limiting the spring at the governer or maybe your throttle plate in the carb is'nt moving freely. Move it with your finger and see if it hangs up.

AYB,

It sounds like your friction disc is the culprit and has seen better days and needs to be changed out. If you say your handy you'll be fine doing it yourself.Remove the bottom plate underneath the drive and take a look.Let us know what you see and we'll get you thru it.Best of luck,Allan
