Hi

Doing heavy snow drive was working good.  All of a sudden no drive front or back.

I'm not familiar with that brand or model but many snow blower mechanisms are similar. 


Did snow get onto the drive disk and cause it to slip?  if it's wet, dry it all off with a hair dryer or other source of safe heat.  (No flames.)


Did you inspect the drive belt?   It's very rare that they fail but not impossible.   If it's good and on the pulleys, look to see if you broke a shear pin for the drive axle.  It won't be easy to see but if you get the machine's wheels off the ground, leaned forward on it's bucket in the maintenance position, you'll be able to turn the wheels to see if they turn the drive mechanism.  Hold down the wheel drive lever and turn the wheel to see if you have resistance.  No or little resistance will indicate that the axle drive shear pin may be broken.  If it is, you'll need to replace the shear pin.
