Service & Maintenance Question posted January 6, 2018 by Glen DateQuestion:I purchased a Husqvarna 12527HVX two years ago. Last winter, I lost forward and reverse drives and had it repaired (cost out of pocket) and then just the other day, when there was 14" of snowfall with 2 1/2 ft. drifts, I lost the forward and reverse drive again. I cannot find my repair manual to check if I have a problem with the belt or linkage. How can I get a copy or photo copy of the portion of the repair/replacement manual to check it myself to alleviate another costly repair. I assume its easy to check and replace and I am capable of doing it myself, but would prefer any guidance before starting on my own.- Service & Maintenance Question posted December 31, 2017 by Peter SzymonikQuestion:I have a Husqvarna 1830HV snow blower that won't *stop*. I turn the switch to Off, pull out the key, and turn off the gas supply - but it keeps running! The only way I can get it to stop is to tip it to stop the gas flow - any ideas?
- Service & Maintenance Question posted December 29, 2017 by Joe WadsworthQuestion:Bought my ST227P 11/2014 from Lowe's, only used it once in April 2015 due to light snow that winter and used it 4x in 2016. I've literally only used this snowblower 5x since I bought it! Pulled it out 12/2017 (again nearly no snow this winter--global warming I guess--but wanted to get it ready just in case). Started it up and then tried to put it in Drive, but the wheels are stuck in Reverse. I looked under the control panel and it appears a piece of plastic that was part of the plastic gear assembly has broken off. I'm shocked! I paid nearly $1,000 for this snow blower and it's been used 5x and is just barely out of warranty and something like this happens?? Poorly made I guess, should have bought a different brand. I did a ton of research before buying a Husqvarna and was convinced it was top of the line. However, having read through countless posts with similar models made from 2013-2016 it would appear that Husqvarna has a few issues (belt, gear and thrower controls) that need their attention. Nothing that costs this much should break after 5 uses, that is just unacceptable. Husqvarna needs to stand behind their products and when they know many of their customers are experiencing similar issues they need to extend their warranty to cover repairs and necessary upgrades to remedy poor manufacturing practices. VERY DISAPPOINTED!

- Service & Maintenance Question posted December 20, 2017 by Dan BrodersenQuestion:I have a Husqvarna 1330 SBEXP snow blower auger that won't stop. Auger does not lock when both traction drive and auger controls are engaged then auger won't stop when handles are not engaged.Details:
This feature is explained in the owner's manual and it's to allow the operator to remove his right hand to manipulate the chute control without having the auger stop. I know that the metal clip in the handle design sucks cause it bends not allowing the auger handle to drop forward disengaging the auger. I talked to the dealer and they were clueless. This is a MAJOR Safety concern. I have take the metal clip out 4 times to bend it back to work again but clip fails in a few minutes and back to auger never stopping. Need answer for new clip for handle.
