Ariens 924038 Snow blower belt won't disengage
Original Message   Dec 10, 2009 3:20 pm
I bought my first snowblower last year, an old Ariens 724 (924038)... late '70s probably. Engine and transmission run fine. Can't stop the rakes from turning. When I went to check tension to see if that was the problem, I noticed the belts were very worn. Split the case and replaced them today, but problem persists. I backed off idler completely. Belt is loose, but seems not loose enough to prevent turning rakes even when clutch is Out. Wasn't sure if there was adjustment at clutch lever or is the brake in there supposed to hold the sheave in place when clutch is Out? Thanks
