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?

I appreciate the advice from everyone - I think mine is going to the shop. I tried pulling the axle, but the hex bolt won't back out of the gear, even after the nut is off. Tried pulling the The drive plate still only rotates about a half inch in either direction.
