    Snowblower Won't Move
    Hello,

    I have a yard machine 8HP E610E Snowblower. Sometimes the drive wheels don't have power. If I lift the rear wheels off the ground they spin, but when I set the machine down (add resistance) the machine will not move. Is this a belt issue? Is it an adjustment issue or a DIY repair?

    Thanks
    Dale

    Its both a belt and an adjustment issue. Lift the machine up on its nose and you will see the rod that runs down to the "transmission" from where you engage the wheels. There will be a fan belt and several pulleys one of which is called an idler. It can be adjusted to tighten the belt when the handle is engaged.
