Ariens 1128 problem

I have an Ariens 1128 Snowblower. Here's the problem, everything seems to function fine, impeller spins, augers spin, howerver, when I put it into any real snow (more than 6-12 inches) the impeller and the augers stop spinning. The motor runs fine throughout the whole process, the motor doesn't bog down and it sounds like the clutch is engaging. It's almost as if when there's any torque applied to the auger/impeller, they stop spinning. If I hold the impeller/auger handle down, eventually the impeller begins to slowly spin up. Suggestions and or recommendations are most appreciated.

Knee_Biter, Thanks. 4 EOD's. If you have to toss from one edge to the other that's a long toss of tough stuff. I've got 1 car wide and 3 car wide on the sides of the house but start inbetween them trying to toss over everything to the far side of those driveways. The Honda 11hp can do just clear the 1 car but has to throw into the three car area. WIth 4 EOD lengths I guess that would stress a belt enough. You probably within 50 miles of me in Marlboro so see the same type of snow if not a bit wetter. Sluch 50, good number. I need one. I tried to buy and Ariens 926 last week with a blown motor which would have been perfect for an Intek 11hp OHV I have. Slip a kit in there and I could toss over to your house.

1128DLE 924508 purchased new 2003. Still original belt. Just would not throw far. Went through the manual and set everything to spec and adjusted the tensioner. Made a 100% difference in distance. Then the slush came and it became a sausage maker. Installed the impeller kit and it is now a water canon.
Knee biter, could you describe the impeller kit, or better yet, a part number? Sounds like something my Ariens could use.
