The auger belt on my snow blower seems too long and will slip. factory belt is p/n 07200004 which is 35.39". They belt was new when season started
and belt adjustment was made to book  .....no more adjustment left in fact their was very little adjustment to begin with, This leads me to think a shorter
belt like Ariens p/n 07215600 which is 35" will work better and leave more room for adjustment. Has anyone encounter this problem on Ariens  model 11528 ? Thanks.

Are you sure you adjusted it right from the start? I'v had some new belts burn up on me. If you install your belt and you here it shurp and squeel with out pressing your auger it will burn up quick. I back it off just enough to stop it. That leaves it tight and right. You can try a smaller belt. if you think you can get a better adjustment.

Make sure the engine is bolted down tight, the blower is bolted to the body tight and the impeller bearing has no wobble.
