QuestionQUESTION: The auger won't turn after I hit a stick and then cleared the obstruction. The pieces can be moved by hand and the controller seeems to be functioning properly. Is there a belt that drives the auger, and if so, is that the problem?

QUESTION: OK, I found the belt is broken. What is the best way to get the new one in (thru the top, from underneath, or something else)? I have it partly in place thru the top but I'm having trouble getting it right because there is so little room to work with.
AnswerHello Again Jack:
>>Sorry for the Delay. Snow and Ice have Hit Us hard and I have been Very Busy.
>>Seperating the Auger Housing from the Unit Enough to Remove and Replace the Old Belt is Usually Required.
