JD tsr 22 snowthrower problem
hi all

i finely own a john deere something

i have took the bottom plate off and tried oiling
everything under there but still is stuck
the snow thrower was sitting for two years

I do not have a diagram of your machine, but I will try to steer you in right direction.
The speed is controled but a rubber friction disk that slides across a steel speed disk. The closer to the center, the lower speed. By squeezing the auger lever these 2 disks make contact. Chances are they are engaged (touching), thus not allowing the friction disk to slide. It usually has a hex shaped shaft through the center which needs to be greased. There is always a way to adjust the difference in the distance between speed disk and friction plate. Look to see if they are engaged (touching) if so it will just be a matter of adjusting. Post back if they are engaged.

The friction wheel needs to be adjusted.
Go to the deere site you referenced above"
http://manuals.deere.com/cceomview/O..._G87.html#7663
click on "adjust friction wheel" from the left column, this should get your problem solved
