Ariens snow blower
fixing cheapie cross vise orientation youtube video and parts list for one similar to Big Mike's
2025-02-21 adjusted auger belt
to get the belly pan out I had to take off the wheels. I couldn't get the left side wheel off so I watched this video
I ended up cutting off the bolt heads on the 2 bolts that had the clip on threaded nut substitute thing and reconnecting them with zip ties
thus i never got the wheel on that side off
ther was a nasty mouse nest in there
followed the "ATTACHMENT CLUTCH / BRAKE ADJUSTMENT" on pdpf28 to 30 of "owners manual.pdf"
and it greatly improved the distance snow is thrown
my only misstep was in portion "Adjust the Attachment Clutch Cable Sprign Extension" step 2 where my distance was 0.57 inches and I first tried doing step 2b and that was the wrong way (2c is the correct adjustment in this situation)
