if it a 2 cycle, its probably a bad scrapper bar, this is underneath the unit & scrapes the driveway right behind the auger. or the rubber flights/spiral is worn out on the unit. if its 4 cycle check the skid shoes on the side of the snow blower housing, they wear out & drag. many people go through a set every season. if your going to be working by the auger, disconnect the spark plug wire first. put the unit on a flat place, set scrapper bar on an 1/8"-1/4" shim, install the new ones so they touch the ground. its like little skis for you blower!

Snow blowers use a motor to power an auger, which breaks up and lifts snow. The snow is then discharged through a chute. The user guides the snow blower over the snow-covered area to clear the snow efficiently.
You have more than likely broken a shear pin. Most snow blowers have 2 shear pins for the auger, one on each side. Find a dealer in your area who sells the brand of snow blower you have and pick up a new one, it won't hurt to get a few extra if you break another one.
