I have one of these too, just got it 2 seasons ago. Runs like a champ. Mine throws snow like this one, but I can careless how far it throws the snow as long as it gets it out of the way. Im looking for new runners for it. Cant find any though. i repaced the springs at lowes, changed the oil and plug. Mine has electric start. Im reaaly happy with it.
Hmmmmm. I've had this one apart, it appears to just be a straight gear mechanism driven by a belt with no adjustments. What did you adjust on your Ariens to make it spin faster?

Did it chop up the brick? :)

No, the bottom of the housing grabbed it and pulled it out of the ground.

Looks like you need to adjust the chute adjustment on there to swing faster... You think so?

No, it seems to work pretty smoothly. In fact, it seems to work better than the newer style chutes with the cables.

No I mean the auger adjustment to make it throw the snow farther (Spins faster=Snow thrown farther)
stlouissux9119 3 years ago
Oh, there's no way to make it spin faster than that. The only control over the auger is the motor's speed, which can't really go much faster.

Oh on my ariens there is and before it was only blowing 5 Ft and now it blows 20+ feet.

nice! my cheap ass poulan pro does okay, kinda big and bulky to handle though. i wanna get an older snowblower like that, they're much better built.
