My 19 year old Troy Built blower just couldn't handle the strain and gave out. It probably needs a belt along with a few other things. I've been having to fix more and more issues with it each year. I'm trying to decide if I want to bother repairing it or buy a new Ariens for next year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to decide if I want to bother repairing it or buy a new Ariens for next year. A little off topic, but silicone spraying your discharge chute to the top of the thrower works much better for packy clumpy dense snow. Mine is now 21 years old and I live in the Hill towns where we get dumped on every year. I also have a spare set of belts for mine just in case. One can will last for years. It won't perform miracles like never getting plugged when doing the very end of the driveway where the snow is just mostly slush, but you should see a big difference. They even make stuff specifically for it like "Snow-Jet" that I'm using for the first time this season. So far, it's every bit as good as the silicone spray worked.
