Hi Solara! If my memory serves me correctly you got that great price on the new Ariens from Home Depot. They usually have non-professional help setting up the machines. Take a little time to go through the manual and make sure the adjustments are correct in terms of spring and cable length for the auger engagement function. The auger should engage fairly quietly if all tensions are up to spec. Expect to have to adjust the belts after your machine has run a while as the belts will stretch some. Marc

I have a confession to make...I am a run it till it breaks kinda guy....I change the oil when I can get to it but I beat the ever livin crap out of a machine and I expect it to perform or it is gone and replaced....this goes for everything in my life....(except my wife and kids of course lol.... ) My Honda has had zero service, maybe this year, maybe not....we'll see.... My Dad is the same way....Look in my profile, see the Ariens 924?, I bought it in 96 for him and I call it his but in reality it is mine. It finally saw a service center this summer because even I finally ripped him and had enough....Did it need it? yes..would it have run more? yes...We have never opened it up once for any adjustments, never.... Do I recommend Ariens products?...Yes, Honda?...yes.... I just don't have time, there isn't any left, you will work or I will beat you and replace you...right or wrong is up for debate but in the universe where I am king that is how it goes..... Live and perform and you earn my respect, loyalty, and financial commitment, don't and I will personally bury you in the woods out back myself and replace you with something that does.... As my life changes over the years and I have more time I will be nicer, and want to be, that is just not an option now.....but you still even then will do your job..... C
