Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Hi, my ariens 926LE is a great blower, but could definatly stand to be more easily manuverable. The bigger deluxe model, though not equipped with a differential, has an autounlock/lock pin in one wheel. Is this something that could be ordered cheaply from a parts catolog and attatched to the existing axle? If so, does anyone have the part number and price, or pictures of the setup on there unit?

Thanks,

Mike

It isn't really an automatic unlock, its more of a remote release/engage mechanism. There's a lever on the left handle that acts as a latch. If  the wheels are locked one compression of the leaver releases the lock and the machine is more maneuverable. When you compress the lever a second time the wheels are locked again. I've tried it  at HD and it makes a big difference in maneuverability.
