You snapped the shear pin. It is made to do just that, shear before you do
any real damage to the snow blower. Any lawn a garden center should have
them if they sell snow blowers. Home Depot and Lowes has them as well. I
have picked them up at Napa and you could go right to Sears. It's a good
idea to keep a few on hand. The pin looks like a bolt with lock nut. It has
grooves in the shoulder below the head and above the threads to allow it to
"shear" easily. Don't put in a regular bolt or next time you hit a hidden
object you'll do real damage.

I was using my neighbors (Sears 24" 247-886640 or 88725) snow blower
after work to day. The dog's leash got caught in the propeller blades
and now one side does not work. The right side works fine but the left
side spins freely and is not engaged.

Can any body point me in the right direction as far as an owners
manual or what to take apart and re-order?

I would appreciate any help

Thanks
