Just had our first 15" snow out here in years. Used my trusty M Wards 30 yr
old 2 stage to clear 100' drive .All was OK except machine kept clogging . I
tried white grease, silicone, soap in the past. Not to good. Any
suggestions?

Just remembered- Before doing *anything* else, be sure your belt is
in good condition and that it is properly adjusted.

It might just be a replaceable spring and idler pulley on that one-
That was common on Bolens, Ariens & some others of that vintage.
