Snow Thrower does not self-propel

I have a Craftsman 3-speed snow thrower (model # 247.88255) that does not self propel. The drive belt is fine but does not engage. Any suggestions on how to fix-it? Thank you.

Did you check under the handle area, near the blower itself for a transmission lever? This will engage & disengage the transmission.

Toro Snow thrower 38588 Starts but will not move forward
Hi Jacquelin-
I found this link.
https://www.manualslib.com/manual/772531/Toro-38588.html?page=16#manual

On page 15-16, it talks about the "Replacing the Drive Belt". This might be the problem.

Hope this helps.

Yardman snowblower won't self-propel
Do not start to do this but put the blower in gear like you would run to drive its self and try to turn the wheels by hand and if they turn easily then you may have a shear pin that is broken or missing in the drive pulley.
Just a thought.

Craftsman snow thrower won't self propel
Have you also changed the drive pulley? It is probably worn out of specification.

I recommend that you contact your nearest authorized service center.

I trust this information proves useful.
