Have a bolens 10 hp 32in snowblower I can be blowing snow and let the hanlde bar grip go and the wheels will keep on going forward or reverse.and I have to pull shifter into nutral to stop it.. then I put it in gear and you have to squeeze the handle again to get it moving is there an adjust meant? Any ideas what to check. It's a older one I looked at the underside it looks exactly like an ariens I had once.. thanks..

Hi,
I doubt it is an Ariens, but they all "steal" from each other. I would say that you have probably have broken the pull-off spring on the belt. Without a model it is a bit hard to tell. Bolens was bought by Gardenway who was bought by MTD. They may not make the highest grade of equipment, but they are sticklers about the documentation on what they own.
Peace,
