honda hs55 snowblower. no drive

hi, i have an hs55 honda snowblower. its an older model with track drive. the drive has just failed on me, no forward or reverse speeds. i asked a friend who had recently worked on a honda blower and he said that he had to take pretty much everything apart. is this true or does anyone here know if there is an easy solution for this problem. thanks in advanced

Some of the older trac drive models used a fan belt and idler pulley mechanism to tranfer the drive. Can you see if your pulley and belt are still in proper alignment, do they get taut when you place the blower into drive?

I would tip the snowblower on its front so that the bucket is holding your snowblower up right. And that the handles are in the air. Under the pain between the two tracks you will see a plate with 4 to 6 bolts holding the plate in place. Take that off and tell me what you see. I could try to help you out with this problem.

sorry, we don't use snowblowers here.

Questionshelp disagrees: Why mention anything if you don't use snow blowers. Inadequate answer.
