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

Good Day,

Need help replacing belt.  Old machine.  Ariens Sno-Throw, Model 10965.  Maybe 1970.  I removed belt housing cover.  But seems I must separate auger assy. from motor assy.?  Even with mtr. / auger disengaged the gap is too small to slip belt through.  Any ideas?

Thanks,

Old Equpt.

This should be the same tractor unit. The highlighted circle is one of the bolt holes mentioned above. Remove the bolt on each side and the unti will "book" open.




In fact, the blower assembly is just sitting on a rod and can be lifted off the tractor into two pieces if you wanted to save storage room; do other work; or change the attachment (what it was designed for). It's the bar at the top of this picture (the tractor unit upside down).
