JD 524D auger turns slow

Greeting,

The auger on my JD 524D snowblower turns slow. It won't shoot the snow fast and snow are stuck in there. The shear bolts are all in good shape. What could cause this problem? the belt?

Thanks.

The impeller runs perfect and the auger belt isn't loose when engage the handle bar. it's hard to tell if the belt is slippery while the machine is running and auger is engaging. Since it is over 10 yr old blower, maybe the belt lost its tension. I ordered the new auger belt and will replace it this weekend. Will updating this thread soon....

The JD

The impeller may be spinning on it's shaft, with the engine off, and maybe the spark plug wire off, and the belt engaged, try to move the impeller, you may get lucky .

Gas powered pressure washer will only start with trigger handle pulled.

Thinkly on Feb 01, 2014

I have a nearly new gas pressure washer with a pull rope that is impossible to pull unless the wand trigger handle is pulled. In other words without water flowing out of the wand the engine will NOT pull. If I clamp the trigger open and then pull the rope it starts and runs fine. What can be causing this?Read More

Murray 27" two stage snow blower only goes foward at full speed

EvanVanVan on Feb 03, 2014

My Murray snowblower just started screwing up. It's only going forward at full speed. Usually I could chose a speed between 1-6 forward or 1-2 in reverse, higher being faster. Now, no matter what position I've got the stick, it only moves foward very quickly. The stick does seem to move the bar it is attached to (going into the engine) up and down correctly. Unfortunately I don't have a more specific model number right now. But does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be? ThanksRead More
