I got a new snowblower,Ariens ST 724E,and wanting to get familiar with the machine,i separated the frame from the bucket,and there is where the problem came about.
I got to the point of loosening the two lower frame bolts,and removed the two upper bolts. Then i lowered the frame handles to the floor,and lo-behold,the bucket completely separated from the frame. Turns out the bucket lower frame has a hook arrangement that slides over the bolts,rather than just bolt holes.
Obviously i did something wrong,but what is my question.
Thanks
