My old dual-stage Ariens snowblower is giving me trouble just when I need it. The engine runs fine but when I engage the auger clutch, it either stalls or the auger turns very slowly.
I have replaced the oil in the gearbox between the drive shaft and the auger shaft, so I am sure it is not freezing in the gearcase. What else might be causing it to seize up when the auger is engaged? Thanks,
Ian
