I bought the Ariens 1130DLE snow blower this fall and i have had only one storm, out of 5 or 6, when the cable did not freeze on me. i have sprayed the lubricant that the dealer told me too but it still Froze.

My peasure! If it helps anyone, it's time well spent.

I'm really wondering why Ariens produces cables that keep freezing like that. Okay, my mod solved the problem for me, but really, the cables should be able to function properly in any weather, right out of the box.

My neighbor has an older Craftsman 11/31 (I don't know the exact model number) and it also sleeps outside in a shed, and the control cable for the deflector never froze.

If someone hears that Ariens is issuing "frost-proof" replacement cables, let me know!

I am experiencing the same problem with the spring on the chute of my Airen's 1300DLE model. I can't figure out the hook up. Could you send me a picture at epjpower@nf.sympatico.ca Thanks
