Very nice short, precise and concise video addressing all the issues of a craftsman auger not moving. Thank you

Thank you so much for the video! 8 inches of snow and the relatively new snow blower wouldn't work. I found this video for my husband. He was a bit skeptical but now we're both smiling. Worked like a charm.

Good precise instructions easy to follow. Thanks for posting this video.

My 24" craftsman is getting old! Used it 2 weeks ago and it wasn't throwing snow barely at all and the engine never revved up like it usually does when engaged. I watched this andsaw that the tensioner is way up and the belt isn't pulling tight. Tightened it up and now I think we are good! Thanks thanks thanks!

Thank you your video was very helpful

Great video ! Thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial.

Terrific video, explained wear on cover. I saw the wear of belts rubbing on cover and thought something was terribly wrong on older MTD snowblower I was replacing belts on. Showing proper belt adjustment method very useful. Thanks for saving me lots of time figuring what could be wrong when this was pretty typical issue.

Saved my life, thank you.

Thanks for the video really helped.

thanks, i've been trying to figure out how to do this for years. when my machine won't throw snow like i want , i replace the belt. i've had my "brute" by MTD for close to 20 yrs. again thanks , even the manual didn't explain it well.

OK, so I had the same problem with a 2010 26" Craftsman snowblower. I first replaced the friction drive disc, no improvement. Next I replaced the drive belt, no improvement. So I started the blower with the belt guard removed, placed it in drive and saw the drive belt was slipping. Not enough tension on the drive belt. I removed the tension pulley and noticed the tension spring was not tight in the housing. I turned the spring so it was tight in the housing and replaced the tension pulley, at the same time I ordered a new spring. Once I replaced the pulley assembly I stared it up, engaged the drive, and it took off like a bat out of hell.

Good video. Thank you.

Great video - thank you!

Good belt at a great price

Just what I needed! I had to use my snow blower today and it was barley throwing snow, The belt is fine. Can I use this method with the bolts to make the auger more powerful? It spins a bit even if the handle isn't depressed. I have the same exact blower. Barely used, Thanks!

Can you adjust the belt by moving the pulley tensioner inward ?

Thank you so much!

how much free should it be at idle....... my auger belts are always slipping would that mean the pulley is too loose at idle?

Great video, but how difficult is it to replace the belt if needed? I have pretty much the exact model in grey.

Brad, is the drive belt adjustment on the MTD the same idea or is something different?

Buddy I have the same one almost new I mean 6 years old but not used. So it won’t start what do you think could be?

what if you replace the auger belt and its still loose. what might be the problem

Craftsman 247.886640 My GF has a similar model and it keeps throwing belts. She has leanred to put it back on. I plan on getting a new belt and inspecting drive system, pullys, alignment, etc. And any tension adjustment availible. ANY ADVICE?

thank you
