Snow-throw attachment model number 910017

I have a "new old" Snow-Thro that runs well but when i get into snow the auger really slows down. I need to let off the drive and let it catch up. I am online in maybe 3 inches of snow and this happens even when taking a half bite of the 24" swath.

Is this a belt or a friction disc? Or is the friction disc ONLY used for driving the wheels.

Any other help is appreciated. I have both the Ariens parts manual and the tecumseh manuals for reference if someone could point me in the right direction

Thanks guys.

Its probably a stretched belt, the friction disk is only for the drive system.

is the only adjustment for the belt the use of the one spring on the tensioner pulley? or is there another way once I get a new belt.

Yup Definately the belt slipping

I find many blowers with a belt that is 1 inch too long. When you install the belt you must force it over the pulley by turning the engine if it slips right on it is too long.

Is there just the one belt on the old Ariens?
