Ariens ST824 locked up?
Original Message   Feb 27, 2007 8:27 pm
After the last snowfall, when I was finishing up, my snowblower stopped abruptly

and now it feels like it's locked up. When I push the electric start it make a terrible sound

and when I tried to pull start it,  it won't even budge.

Does anyone know what the problem could be? and if so, how I can fix it?

Thanks, Bob

Well, here's what fixed it......for now anyway.

Our maintenance man from work suggested to take off the cover and rotate the flywheel with a screwdriver. That way anything jamming it up should drop. I did that, and it's running again. I hope it wasn't anything too important that will end up giving out right away. Oh well we'll see.

Thanks for your input!
