There is Snowmann that posts here. He is from Ariens and should be able to help you. There are other who quite alot about Power Equipment repair, they should be able to help also.

Snowman: Move shifter where it doesn't move foreward or reverse. At the end of the shifter rod there is a 5/16 by 3/8 set screw. Loosen set screw and move shifter handle foreward about 3/8 to1/2 an inch. Make sure that the rod moves thru the rod adapter and the rod adapter dosen't move Retighten set screw and move machine thru the gears. Post back with results T.J. terry

when you were looking at the friction wheel did you notice if you could move it without it rubbing on the disc. sounds like it is adjusted a little tight.if so you only have to back of the adjustment nut a half turn . might need to check the book on it but the adjustment should be on the left han side near top of rear panel. later chris
