Ariens snowblower - drive belt burns up
Original Message Jan 15, 2011 3:44 pm

Hi

My snowblower (ariens ST724) will start but not budge. I pulled it apart and the drive belt was broken and drive plate appears to be frozen. Replaced the drive belt, started it up and the belt started smoking right away - the drive belt is burning on the top pulley (pulley spinning, belt not). No change when I try to engage the wheels.

Any suggestions?
