QUESTION: MTD 644E.  Full model no. as listed on the unit:

Thanks


Answer
Hello Again Bob:

Thanks for the Numbers. You can View a Breakdown/IPL of this Unit at this Site Addy, http://www.smallenginepartswarehouse.com/parts.asp and Select the Shop Online Parts Look Up. Then Select the Model Tab. Then Select the OEM and Enter the Model Numbers (31BS644E129). Then Double Click on the Model in the Results Area. Now you can Select the Section of the Unit you Wish to View. From Looking at the Breakdown/IPL of this Unit, it Looks like a Standard MTD Snow Thrower. If you have the Controls in Neutral and Can Not Turn the Auger, then you May have to Disassemble Some of the Assembly in Order to Remove the Obstruction or Remove the Auger Drive Belt from the Pulley. The Belt May be Grabbing the Pulley when you are Trying to Turn the Auger in Reverse Rotation to Remove the Obstruction. If you Hit a Snag or this Does Not Correct the Problem,  I am Here if You Require More Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me Know What Happens, Please. May the All Mighty Bless You and Yours. Thanks.

Good Luck
