BX24 Snowblower - not working - need help/advice



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?

We need more information. I looked online and this model of snow blower can be front or rear mount. You don't mention whether the tractor PTO stopped working or if it is working and the shafts are all turning and there is no power transmitted out of the gear box on the snow blower. Nobody can help too much until you give more information.

I'll take a stab at it....sounds like a shear bolt. Sometimes they shear but stay in place and look like they are still working.

Disconnect the PTO shaft and move it clear. Engage the PTO and see if it turns

Not to state the obvious - but have you triple checked to make sure the pto selector is in the right mode? Are you using the front blower or rear? if front, check to see if it in the MMM mode, if rear check to see if it in rear pto. if using the mid pto, try this test. lift the seat into the forward position like getting ready to turn it into bh mode. start tractor and engage pto, look under the tractor and see if you see the mid pto is turning. if not shut down and check the connection.
rear blowers, its clear to see if it the shear bolt/slip cutch is working or not and if the rear pto shaft is turning or not. You just need to confirm that either the pto's is turning in the right selector
