Hi,

Live outside of Boston.
Tons of snow yesterday.

Have an Ariens snowblower. Model 7524. Typical 2 stage unit; few years old now.

Engine works fine.
Drive system to wheels works.

Big Auger wheel in front turns.

But won't throw snow. No clog.

Can't see if the high speed Impeller is turning or not.

Neighbor suggested a broken belt.

If the Auger turns, can it, possibly, be a bad belt ?

If the Impeller is turning, which I haven't been able to verify, can it be a bad belt ?

What are likely possibilities, and what can be eliminated, probably ?

Thanks,
Bob

How is it that you can't tell if the impeller s tuning? Can't you see it by
looking into the auger housing?
