NEED HELP/ADVICE - Ran tractor this morning in 10 inch snow on paved driveway. Blower stopped throwing snow. All three shear pins intact and all augers/impellers will turn manually but not under power. Chain is tight and all shafts turning. Dealer can not pick up machine for several days. Any ideas?

Look for a broken shear bolt and or missing key on the drive shaft coupling
Parts 19 and 21 hold the drive yoke 6 to the shaft

Can you see both ends of the sheer pins? I've seen one end of a broken pin "stick" so it looks like it's still there from one end.
With the tractor off, and the PTO on (locked so it can't turn) , can you turn parts of the blower to see what turns and what doesn't . Your problem is probably at the junction of the two. Hopefully a sheer pin. Good luck.

I just took the chain guard off of mine to lubricate it after 6 hrs. of use and both set screws came out of the small sprocket , I was able to find them laying under the sprocket area . I put them back in with some locktite , the key ( no. 13 ) did stay in place on mine .
