    Snowblower wheels won't move
    I have a troybilt snowblower model 96177 going on 3 yrs old. When I went to remove
    It from a neighbors basement it would not roll. It sat indoors through the summer so I can't imagine what could have happened.

    Corrosion, i.e.. Rust in a damp basement likes to fuse parts together. A transmission, not in the right gear would also do it. Look carefully.

    Mtd which acquired Troy-Built has manuals online, but yours comes up empty.

    If it's an MTD unit, find the model tag on the belly pan. This may be a unit that has about 6 or 7 gears under there, they had a tendency to freeze up (corrode) and not move. That drive has been replaced by a much simpler system using less than half that many gears. Check your model and then with MTD.
