Hi all,
I am new here. I think I saw a posting on a Craftsman DYT 4000 electric clutch but insure where it is now. Anyway, here's my story. This winter when I put on the snowblower attachment it worked fine, when I went to use it I pulled the knob and the belts spun and the auger whizzed around as it should, when I dropped the blower down to blow snow the thing stopped. I went through this 3 times then left it to become a big lump in the snow. I think I read that there are diodes that can go bad??? In short it would run for a few minutes while warming up and then just stop. I was not too concerned as I had a back up mower and went to run it and the engine seized up after 20+ years good ole lawn boy. If someone can help me trouble shoot the issue that would be awesome. I really do not understand electrical stuff very well but willing to make an idiot of myself on here to try, appreciate your time! The model is 917.2736403, serial 061804B001312
