Why did my snow blower stop moving?
Inspect the drive clutch cable and adjust if it’s loose. Reinstall the drive belt if it slipped off a pulley. A worn friction disc won’t propel the snowblower so check the friction disc and replace it if it’s worn. The snowblower also won’t move with the auger housing or scraper blade scraping the ground.
Why is my snowblower running rough?

Why is my yardmachines snowblower not moving forward?
In today’s video, we’ll be looking at a YardMachines snowblower (MTD) that won’t move forward or back! The reason this happens is due to the roller bearings seizing up. These bearings are located inside the gears that mount on the drive axle.
What to do if your snowblower won’t propel?
Reinstall the drive belt if it slipped off a pulley. A worn friction disc won’t propel the snowblower so check the friction disc and replace it if it’s worn. The snowblower also won’t move with the auger housing or scraper blade scraping the ground. Tighten the scraper blade if it’s loose and replace it if damaged.
How does a snowblower back on the friction disk?
It should be too hard or very difficult to back it off the friction disk. The model number is #536-886220. On this model the clutch lever moves the drive plate towards the friction wheel. With the clutch engaged you can move it around with ease.
Why does my snowblower not move when the clutch is down?
In general the clutch lever causes either the drive plate to move to the friction disk or the friction disk to the drive plate. For either type the drive plate should be held in position with the clutch down. It should not have play once engaged. Try moving the snowblower around with the clutch not engaged.
