WH69GT-14 0 #1 Posted March 8, 2011 I have a GT-14 and I was snowblowing over at the neighbors house the other day when it stopped working. No power to the lift cylinders, no forward or reverse. Nothing. Fluid level was fine, no major leaks or anything on the snow that I could see. Came home, got a ratchet strap to lift the blower and started pushing it.....was pushing easily then it just engaged and I hopped on it, started it everything worked fine again all of a sudden. Brought it home, put it in the garage. Now nothing works again. Any ideas? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mavfreak 11 #2 Posted March 8, 2011 Is your belt slipping? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rustbucket 4 #3 Posted March 8, 2011 could possably be the drive belt slipping or possably sheared one of the keys on a drive pully. or the very worst it could be something going in the hydro. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stoneman 10 #4 Posted March 8, 2011 I'd start with the belt. May have stretched and been slipping when it was hot, and tightened back up when it cooled off . . . hope that's all it is. Although having no power to the lift cylinder could be an indication of something in the pump. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChevelleSSLS6 0 #6 Posted March 15, 2011 Hopefully it's something little, but rebuild and restore rather than scrap and buy a dispos-a-mower. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WH69GT-14 0 #7 Posted March 16, 2011 Sorry it's taken so long for me to reply. Of course right after it died we got hammered with snow The belt is not slipping, key way looks good, checked some springs (don't know if I got all of them) and they seem fine. I don't have the money to rebuild and I just tore it all apart and redid all the seals on the hydro last year, so I'm wondering if anyone has a parts tractor that I can swap parts with? I need to get it fixed soon because I use it to haul firewood out of the woods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
