There are many factors that can cause this to occur. ONE IS THE WIND, LIGHT SNOW WILL BLOW BACK OR SNEAK THROUGH HE CRACKS OF THE EXIT. if THE SNOW ON THE OTHER HAND IS WET THEN THE EXIT CHUTE WILL ALLOW THE SNOW TO DROP ON THE MACHINE. ONE WAY TO FIX THIS REQUIRES THE ADDITION OF RUBBER STRAPS, YOU WILL NEED TO DRILL HOLES IN THE IMPELLERS and attach the rubber, (this can be cut from an old tire or a floor mat or other rubber that is around 1/4" thick or more. Make the parts the width of the blades and around 2-3 " from tip to base. This will stop the snow from collecting on the walls of the blower and throw the snow farther from the blower.
sorry about the uppercase, did not know I had hit the caps lock, not a touch type person.

Have a gravel driveway bought a Ariens 24 Snow Thro adjusted skid shoes to lift machine, is the scraper blade also adjustable, it is throwing a lot of rocks?

Yes, they are all adjustable. Loosen the hardware, Find something to use as a shim... a few paint can stirrers.. put them under the Scraper to lift it about 3/8" then tighten the hardware. See how that helps the stone throwing. Gravel driveways are tough for Blowers and Plows...It's best to actually leave snow on the driveway to pack down and form a Base. Then the next snow will be stone free.

Mtd model 31a140000. Why doesn't throw snow like it was?

Do you rev it up when you use it? they are made to rev up. Are the paddles that throws snow worn? Even if the skid plate is worn but the snow is getting to the paddles it should throw snow. In saying that no snow blower will throw good if you do not have much snow. The more the better it should throw. They won't work well if there is under 3 to 4 inches. and really throw well.

When you pull down handle,the machine will not ingage and throw snow.

I assume you are not trying to throw snow with a 22" push mower. I would narrow your problem to the following items:

Bad belt driving the auger.

Broken shear pins in the auger unit
or

Worn out paddles that throw the snow.

All of these items are replaceable.

I recommend consulting a local dealer like www.arcolawn.com to see if any updates are recommended for your machine.

Good luck

How can I keep my 2 stage snowblower in high?

I will assume you are referring to the 2 stages in the front of the machine. The spiral auger rakes are the first stage, they are designed to collect the snow and feed it to the impeller. The impeller is the 2nd stage and is to throw the snow up the chute. The lower rakes in the front do nopt throw snow only collect it.

Snow blower gets bogged down in snow.

It sounds like your engine is running lean, see if you can adjust the high throttle mixture on the carburetor (if possible at all). If there is no adjustment possible, it may be the carb is clogged and needs some service. Try cleaning it or find a new replacement carb for it.
