You can change the bells on your snapper 17244 snowblower by loosening the tensioner bolt. Once the tensioner bolt is loose the old belt can be removed and the new belt put in its place.

I have a toro ccr 1000 snowblower. I need to know the lengh of the drive belt. the belt no. is 71-5381 I've tries a 34'' and a 35" belt. Can you tell me the lengh I need.
It depends on the snowblower, belt type and what you arer trying to achieve by making the change. The replacement pulley(s) will have to be the same shaft id as the original to start. Next make sure that there is room inside the snowblower for the new pulley. Thirdly the belt may have to change depending on the pulley size that you choose. There are many different pulley types and sizes available. Be aware of the changes that are made because they can decrease the snow throwing ability and also affect the drive speed and vice versa.
NO
We need to know the year, make, model and engine size of the vehicle then we need to know if you want to change the belt tensioner or the belt or both.
I know of no vehicle where the engine has to be removed to change a timing belt.
put the belt on the bottom pully then on the top engine shaft then put both parts of the belt under the belt tension then the belt tensioner should be on the top of both part (strips) of the belt.
Be sure that the belt hasn't stretched so it may be slipping. I don't think there is a actual adjustment but rather that it is either cracked or stretched too much to operate the auger properly.
Your belt is the first thing I would check. If your belt is ok then start checking shear pins and bolts. If they are all ok adjust your belt tightener.
Oscar Wilson.com bought all the parts for the Murray snowblower. Contact them and give them your model number and serial number of your snowblower and if they have any left they will take care of you.
