I'm having the same problem with the same snow blower. I had my auger belt fixed 3 times at a dealer and still having problems with the auger belt. I called Husqvarna and was advised I was the only one having the problem. I requested a new model from Husqvarna since this is product was a failure and was told no. After checking the internet I see I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm very disappointed that Husqvarna won't stand by their product. I think its time for legal action or maybe a class action lawsuit for everyone loss.
