I have an old Snow Chief 5hp 20in that has an auger problem, it tends to get bogged down and the auger stops turning, is this a gear problem or clutch problem?
There seems to be a lot of that going around these days! Most of them are worn belts. Is it a single stage snow thrower? If you have the model number, maybe we could take a look see if there's a parts diagram out there to refer to.
I second (Third?) the Belt idea. According to the Gilson snowblower site, Snow Chief is now part of the MTD group. though it's not known if they provide any support, pdf manuals may be available.
