This is a weird one, as I've never had to repair this issue before.

The shaft that turns the Impeller (Auger) Belt Idler Arm has so much forward and reverse movement (play) that it allowed the Idler Arm to physically make contact with the spinning Friction Plate, causing a Traction (Drive) Belt failure.

In today's video, I'll be using some washers to limit the horizontal movement of the shaft.

In the end, after installing 2 brand new belts, this snow blower was once again fully operational!
