I have an 1028 Ariens snow blower (model 924109). It runs fine but the drive wheels don't turn. The friction disk has plently of life left. However, I noticed that the friction plate (attached to drive shaft) and the friction disk don't come together when the handle is engaged. There doesn't appear to be a problem with the handle and I've adjusted the clutch without any effect. I'm assuming that the friction plate is designed to move toward the back of the machine to contact the friction disk. This doesn't happen when I depress the hanlde. I can move the friction plate by hand, but its really difficult. Any ideas?
