So the snowblower worked yesterday great. Now today it has the sound that it wants the auger to work and it’s no longer spinning at all. Tried the controller. Tried everything. Shear pins are fine. Don’t tell me some belt or something is broken. When I spin it manually it moves so it’s not stuck

So I got it but it was very difficult. That motor bracket doesn’t come off completely and those belts are super stiff. Got it back on but a couple bolts are a bit wonky. Hopefully holds up!! Wish they would show how is most efficient.

Congrats on the fix! Glad to hear your Yarbo is back up and running. Did you see anything that would suggest why the original belt broke in the first place?

Look up. I posted the video this morning.
