Hi,

The transmission on my new MTD snowblower from Target squealed loudly
and stopped working about ten minutes out of the box:

It looks like the belt is loose as it's engaged, but only moving at
about 1 RPH (revolutions per hour). I was able to tighten the lever
on the transmission, which remedied the problem for ten minutes before
the transmission went loose and stopped working again.

Anyone know how to fix this?
