Thanks for the info. It is a 2-stage. I went back out and tried again. Seems the snow is SO WET that it's clogging the chute. I was able to "get by" and get enough done to get the cars out. I did notice that it's not shooting the snow out the chute as it normally does. The majority comes out, but some of it just falls out instead of shooting. When this happens, I just stop the drivetrain and keep the auger running and it seemed to work.

What website did you go to? Thanks again for the help.

Sorry, I don't know the difference between 1 & 2 stage.

I figured it might be that. I have no clue what to look for, or where to find them, or how to repair it. The snowblower was a gift and I don't have a manual.

Did you get more than a foot down there? I got about 18" up here in Luck, WI.

I have a Chieftain snowblower and haven't had any problems for a couple years. I just used it on Sunday with no problems til I was putting it away and a kids rubber basketball got sucked in and stopped the auger dead in it's tracks. I used a knife to puncture the ball and remove it, then put it in the shed. Well, I got it out today and it worked, a little groggy, for about 1 minute then stopped altogether. When depressing the auger lever, nothing turns. With the engine off, the blades do NOT rotate either.

Please help...I have 18" on the ground that I'd HATE to have to shovel!!!!!

Thanks,
Brian

I have a flat tire. Had to get help figuring out how to get the chains off but now I can't figure out how to remove the tire. There's a pin that goes through the middle of the wheel but nothing happens when I pull the tire.
