5 HP 24" MTD snowthrower dual stage

(Grey County ON)

It has 6 forward speeds, but will only throw snow in first if using the 24" width. 3" of fluffy,non drifted snow would take speed 3 with a width of 2-4" and stopping to allow auger to empty.

Has no power to use faster speeds. Replaced recoil too many times. Either cord brakes or housing slips. I now have to replace part that recoil has worn away the dogs on the pulley.
