Ariens 926 Pro model not throwing snow very far and getting stuck
Original Message Jan 1, 2009 3:53 pm

I have an Ariens 926 pro model that is 3 years old. One snow storm ago the snowthrower started freezing up and not turning or tossing the snow. I figured it was due to the change over to freezing rain and it was icing up. On this last storm all we received was 8 inches of pure fluff powder type snow and the machine was barely throwing the snow at all and this was with the snowblower being stored in a 55 degree garage the whole time. For the last 3 years the more snow I fed this beast the further it tossed it. Now it is the exact opposite.

Has anyone else experienced this?

It ended up being the belt.

Thanks again
