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

I have a MTD Yard Machine two stage snow thrower.......I have had it for several years and this year when I needed it most the auger belt was chewed up....no problem....I  got a replacement from HD.....according to the owners manual.....and replaced it....as soon as I started to run it.....it flip off....I thought I had put it on wrong....but I had it on right according to the manual.......this did it again and again......I gave up.....Anyone have any suggestions?....I called customers service....and found out how useless they were..........
