I did check for both shear pins and they were okay. Also, while I was snow blowing, I did look at the shaft ends and they were rotating. Could it be that the gear case (differential) be the problem? Everything is spinning/rotating just fine but when too much snow going in it just stop the auger.

I don't have a copy of the owners manual, just trying to figure out what is cuasing the problem.

I have a Ariens snowblower, model #924082, that worked great last wednesday storm. but today, impeller is turning but augers stops whenever snow accumulates in front of the snowblower. I put the snowblower on reverse the augers start turning again.  I move forward, working great, then slowly the snow accumulates then the auger stops again.

Is there a torque that keeps the auger from turning whenever there’s too much snow going in the auger?
