Hi guys,
I'm a little late to the thread but I sort of have the same issue with a different serial # 824. Mine is 932101.
My problem is similar. Engine runs fine as does Auger. However the drive train does not engage....... or should I say..... it doesn't pull itself forward. Even if I push it along, it doesn't seem to be be engaged.
Do I have the same issue? What was the final recommendation to resolve the problem? Is it the R3 upgrade and if so, can I order right from Ariens parts?
Thanks in advance.
