What's Wrong With This Ariens Snowblower? Original Message Dec 13, 2009 11:46 pm
My neighbor has a full-frame 24" Ariens Two-Stage with an 8 HP Tecumseh motor. The snowblower is about 10 years old and does not appear to have been carefully maintained. He says the gear shifter is frozen in reverse...it will not go forward. I'm not sure if it is the shifter itself that is the problem or if it is something internal. His Ariens is an all-steel heavy duty machine and is worth saving. Do you guys have any suggestions as to what might be the problem?
