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

Hey ,I got a free snow blower the other day.A Simplicity 860 SE M/N1691900 and S/N2566.I cleaned the carb,new fuel lines,and it runs great.It sat for 7 years,i could not get the shifter lever to move.Took off the bottom skid plate,found a whale of a mouse nest.After i cleaned that mess up,i lubed the axle that the friction wheel is on,and everything else to do with the shifter.It still will not move.Will i need to take that assembly apart?And also,where could i get a manual for this particular machine?I thank all in advance,Don

"It will not move"

You might be refering to the friction disk not moving on the hex shaft. It could be frozen so might need drops of a rust breaker over several hours.

That's a nice machine.

the hex shaft.exactly.i put some really good stuff on it and still nothing.Thinking i need to take apart.
