    My Ariens snowblower won't start. I want to remove the spark plug to spray a bit of starter in the chamber, let it sit 15 minutes, reinsert the plug and hopefully see the blower start. Problem: my sparkplug wrench cannot find engagement on the plug. A small silver protective housing of some...

    Working on an Ariens 9526 DLE snowblower. The worm gear is shot, it's missing half of its teeth. Looks like someone decided to toss a hardened bolt instead of a shear bolt on the rake assembly. I'm hoping that there's a compatible worm gear for this unit, instead of the worm gear / shaft...

    I don't recall unhooking black wire from any male connector on my Ariens 291cc snowblower. I did unhook white wires from Key and Run/Stop switches. Can anyone identify the black wire and where it should be connected? As far as I can tell, it's spliced to connector from Key switch so it would...

    Hello, I am looking at buying a new snowblower to replace my 25 year old MTD. The 2 I am looking at are the Craftsman 26-in 243 CC ( https://www.lowes.ca/product/gas-snow-blowers/craftsman-26-in-243-cc-2-stage-snow-blower-3746127) or a Ariens Deluxe 24-in. I know that most people recommend...

    I have recently purchased the Compact 24 for my daughter and have found that 1st gear still seems way too fast for certain conditions. Without having a throttle option (which I would have likely tried first) I did follow the book instructions and adjusted the speed selector arm to the closest...

    I am wondering how do I go about getting the cover off to get to the carb? I did remove the one bolt visible on the top and it seems pretty stuck on there still? I am just trying to clean the carb out as it idles slightly rough, unless anyone has a part number for a decent replacement.

    Hello everyone - I have a 1970 Ariens snowblower that was my father's. It has been maintained and used each season up until a few years ago when he upgraded to a newer machine. When starting it this summer, the engine started to run really strong, too strong. It would get louder and louder...

    Hello all I am from Sherbrooke, QC and with the information available on this site, I just signed up to benefit from the experiences others have chosen to share. I am looking for a way to either service the differential Assembly (61299900, r/b: 51202000) or to permanently lock the internal...

    Can anyone tell me where this cable is suppose to go to? It appears I’m missing a part that this would set into. The chute rotates very easily so I am guessing this is suppose to help with that?

    New member, so thanks in advance for any help. I have a fairly new Ariens Deluxe 24. Maybe 3-5 years old, gonna have to have the wife find the paperwork to be sure. Been fairly reliable, starts easy, really tosses the snow. Not rusty, not beat up. Kept indoors when not being used. Today...

    Greetings everyone! Over the summer I decided to upgrade from my 90's Craftsman snowblower and picked up a Ariens 11528LE for what I thought at the time was a really good price. Well long story short it needs more work than I was anticipating but I like to tinker and fix things so he we are...

    Hey All, This is my first post on here. I have a 1960s-70s Ariens sno-thro with a "tired" 8 HP Tecumseh engine on it. it is very loud and I have a hard time working on it. I was wondering if I could switch it to a PowerFist 212CC engine. I am on a budget and wouldn't like to spend lots. What...

  17. Re-Powering
    Hi everyone, thanks for having me. Last night I followed a FB marketplace listing to buy a Toro 3521 with a 'newer motor' that has auger issues (no biggy). While I'm there the guy asks if I fix snowblowers. Honestly, I'm no pro but I am mechanically inclined. Probably more so than most. He...

    Hey Folks, I'm new here having just purchased a Deluxe 24 for the coming season. After reading through the manual I pondered the scraper adjustment and requisite shims required to do so. I have a yard stick for the 3mm 1/8" adjustment but not for the 22mm 7/8" adjustment. So I designed and 3D...

    First time writer, long time reader...lol. just picked up my Kraken from the local dealer today. I've gone down a bunch of rabbit holes in regards to recommendations for fuel (canned, additives, etc), which oil to use, waxing/spraying the inside of the shute and impeller and many other...
