why wont the blades/auger on my JOHN DEERe snow blower turn?

first thing i would check is to make sure there isn't a piece of wood or something jammed between the blades and housing. i don't know if your blower is shaft or belt driven. if belt driven check the belt and pulleys. if it is shaft driven try to spin the blades by hand, if they turn free then the shear pin is broke. look for a small round steel pin in the same are the blower shaft attaches. it should go through the shaft all the way from side to side.

If all the parts are moving and look like they are working right the problem could be that the snow is too wet. Many blowers won't throw snow that has started to melt. It just clogs up the chute.

What would cause no heater fan to blow on 1978 Cadillac fleetwood?

I have a 1978 coupdiville cadillac my blower quit working and there is a relay above your fuse box and if it goes bad your heater wont turn on. I had to replace it with a after market heavy duty relay away from where it is originally plugged in. Also my ground wire connection was dirty and wouldn't turn on until I cleaned the connection so try that and see if it works or you might need to replace the motor.Fleetwood_brougham_BLOWER_wont_turn_onDiscuss:Fleetwood_brougham_BLOWER_wont_turn_onFleetwood_brougham_BLOWER_wont_turn_onbrougham BLOWER wont turn on?&content=&lng=en&uid=X4b8f331cb1dc6e1a Fleetwood_brougham_BLOWER_wont_turn_onbrougham BLOWER wont turn on?&content=&template={{title}} {{url}} (via @WikiAnswers)&lng=en&uid=X4b8f331cb1dc6e1a

Cooling fans wont turn on?

If the cooling fans will not turn on, check the pump to make sure the belt is turning the pump. Also check the blower resistor. This large fuse is usually located on the fuse box for the battery on most vehicles. On older vehicles it might be located on the blower motor itself.
