Service & Maintenance Question posted November 5, 2011 by Roger youngQuestion:Having a problem disengaging the drive of a snow blower even after releasing the spring levers on the handles? This is a safety concern.Details:I have a 10527STE snow blower and at the end of last season and at the beginning of this season I started to have a problem disengaging (in other words stopping) the snow blower from moving forward even after releasing spring lever on the handle. Husqvarna snow blowers have a spring lever on the left handle which must be depressed in order to move forward/or backward. The right handle has the same type of lever however it is used to engage the auger in the blower. If the handles are released the unit is supposed to stop moving and the auger is supposed to stop. In my case the auger stops however the unit does not stop moving forward. Currently this condition seams to occur after the unit is fully warmed up. This is intermittent. Has anyone had this problem? Any suggestions? I just inspected everything and it looks OK. Thx

Can you put me in the right direction on replacing it. I'm a mechanic and have the skills to do it. it looks like the left side panel should be removed to take out the auger? its welded in place. Any information you can give me would be greatly appreciated. just trying to fix it now we are due for some heavy snow fall in the next few days.
Thank you for your time

Best regards Peter - Service & Maintenance Question posted January 9, 2018 by Richard LivseyQuestion:hello,
I just purchased a ST224 snowblower from Lowe's. Got it home checked the oil before starting noticed it was low, added some and overfilled it. Before starting I drained some out and black particles came out with the oil. I'm concerned with them blocking the oil passages and causing damage. Went back to Lowe's and explained what happened the employee went on a bout how they sell thousands of these and never have a problem and it's just excessive pvc particles that stick to everything, nothing to worry about I'm looking for the tech phone number to see how to proceed.
Please no lecture on buying from Lowe's. - Service & Maintenance Question posted February 23, 2018 by Colombe MontchoQuestion:hello,

I bought a Poulan Pro Snow blower model PR624ES and according to the Manual I received, the snow blower has 2 grease zerks that needs greased after 25 hours of use on the auger shaft. I called the Husqvarna Help Line telephone number and the agent looked into the drawings also and said he didn't see any place to grease any zerks either.
Can you tell me if this has any zerks hidden or how would the best way to grease the auger shaft?
thanks, Paul in Russia - Service & Maintenance Question posted January 24, 2016 by Hunter CameronQuestion:Hi folks, hopefully pretty simple problem. Brand new ST224P snowblower. Gas in, 5W-30 oil in. First inserted the ignition key, then flipped the switch to "Run" (On), then turned the choke from "Closed" to "Open", then primed the engine three times, then pulled the rope a bunch of times, it did not start. I let it rest for a few minutes, pulled the rope again, no start. I then primed the engine a couple more times, pulled the rope, and it started. Turned the choke back to the "Closed" position and let the engine warm up.
It sounded a bit clunky at first, then got in a rhythm, then promptly shut down. I repeated the above process to same results. The only way I can get the engine to keep running is to keep the choke in the "Open" position, which is contrary to the instructions and not something I feel comfortable doing, as the engine still sounds clunky that way.
Any ideas why the engine keeps shutting down after less than a minute of running? - Service & Maintenance Question posted January 2, 2013 by Tim VendtQuestion:Hi there...I have a 6ish year old 10527STE blower, bought it new. I noticed when I went to use it for the first time this year that the left wheel (as I stand behind the machine) was spinning freely on the axle (makes it kind of hard to control the blower in deep snow).
I removed the wheel and found that the two "dogs" on the inside of the hub that slip into slots on the axle to move the wheel are sheared off...this looks like pretty tough steel. How in the world could this have happened? I baby this thing and my driveway isn't a hard driveway to blow snow. I went to my local Husqy dealer where I bought it and he found a part number for the wheel (532198266) to the tune of $140.
I'm thinking that I may have a friend try to weld those dogs back on.
I guess my question is, does anyone know what may have caused this? The torque to break these off had to of been enormous.
If pictures would help I can take some later on today and post them here.

I have a Husqvarna ST230P snow blower and I can't find where the spark plug is. The operator's manual talks about replacing it once a season, etc., but not where it is or how to get to it. None of the wires on the outside look like a plug wire, at least not to me. I'm certainly no small engine expert.
Anyone have this model and know how to change the plug? Mine is from 2014, if that matters.
Thanks! - Service & Maintenance Question posted January 16, 2013 by Mike GazzaraQuestion:Hi,
I just purchased a Husk. ST230E and noticed the left steering level doesn't always seem to steer the unit to the left. If I hold it for few seconds it might start to turn. Is this an easy cable adjustment? How do I adjust it since I just found out that they don't provide a service manual.
