Model 76 Canadiana snowblower wont go forward or back
| | |
Posted by frankb_c (My Page) on Fri, Dec 26, 08 at 10:18
Have a Canadiana model 76 26"HD snow blower made by Outdoor Products Mfg..
the plate reads Parts Sales Dept. 11 Finley Rd., Bramalea Ont.
My problem is that the engine turns over with Electric start.
The impeller turns when engaged.
Its the clutch to move forward or back that does not function.
Is there a pin in the Wheels assembly.
or is it a friction plate model.
Trying without any luck for a manual for this unit?
Any help appreciated.

Best way to learn what type of drive it is--is to tilt it up and look underneath it. If you can't see inside it, then remove some screws, and probably there will be a cover plate that comes off. Then look inside. There may be a belt drive, or disc drive.
I am assuming the engine runs. If so, then check for worn belts, (or broken), look for any cables or connectors that may have broken, or slipped off. |

I have the same machine but I was given it in a basket. It yellow in color, has an 8 hp Tecumseh HM80 engine with electric start. The unit is belt driven. The forward & reverse drive is hydrostatic & is connected to the shifter via a cable which connects to a lever at the bottom of your snowblower. It sound like either your linkage cable is broken/damage or the cable linkage underneath came apart. You will have to remove the panels at the bottom to get access to it.
This now leads to my question; while you are disassembling your unit can you tell me what size of v belts are on your machine so I can get the right ones for my basket case? If you have photos of your intact snowblower can you either email me or post it so I can see where all the completed parts should look like.
Of could if anyone know where a repair/parts manual can be had that would be awsome. Thanks |
