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

Hi there!

I bought an old, very old, Bolens Artic 70 snowblower.  Seemed to work great before it snowed.  Now it has no power to the auger impeller or wheels.  If anyone knows of a manual (online or hardcopy), I'd be happy to buy it.

Thanks!

Most North American manufactured snow throwers have similar operating principles.   Engine turning pulley(s) to drive belts to other pulley(s) to turn augers and wheels.  If you have complete auger and drive system failures, the first thing I'd look at are the belts.  Considering the age of the machine, there's a very good chance that they're slipping. 

Thank you!
