WARNING - stay away from this model - really disaster. I purchased brand new 4 years ago. Fisrt time used and the "wonder machine" didn't moved forward or backward. Took two weeks fixed , parts where not in stock. Used second time - 15 min. - "wonder machine" bushing wear out. Again - is service. Year by year, this same problem - $ 1100.00 unit not worth even echange for showel. The manufacture didn't offer 3 years warranty - I didn't now why - I called amd I was told - only 1 year. Pay few hundrats $$$ for service and finnaly last night - "wonder machine" give up again. Ariens - this is a German perfect engineering? I hope you will learn from China manufactures - my friend purchased at Home Depo unit 1/2 price of mine and used thuis same time w/out any problems. This is my personal experience. I own before very old Ariens - this was a perfect unit - never give me any problems, I used, my son, friends and never, ever stop working. Best ever machine I have it. But, sombody like it and my unit dissapered from my garage. I was forced to by new unit. I this was a HELL mistake. Sorry ARIENS - but your prududct is not worth my time and the money. I want buy only Americans pruduct, but I do not have choice again, Mark

My Ariens 932101 is going on 10 years old. So far the only thing I did to it besides the R3 retrofit kit was a new carb this year. It needs a new friction wheel so I will put one on in the spring.

How hard is it to install the R3 Upgrade into an ARIENS 824 - Model 932101?

Vinny - Would you be able to give your 2 cents about the complexity and amount of time it took to install the R3 Drive Update into your 824? I have the same model and am interested in installing the upgrade, but am unsure if I should even attempt it on my own or find a local dealer. I acknowledge that it might be hard to answer based simply on the fact that everyone has different skill and comfort levels with tearing into stuff like this, but I thought I'd inquire to see what you thought. I've looked at the parts diagram/blow up on the Ariens part finder and it doesn't look too horrible.... Regards, Brian Also - if ANYONE (Snowmann?) would like to add their thoughts and comments about installing the R3 upgrade, I'd be appreciative!
