Having a performance issue with my new $240 used "like almost new" Craftsman 8hp/26" snowblower. The v-belt for the auger slipped off its' big pulley wheel down under the engine so it do throw snow. The power to tires for forward/backward works good but the auger does not spin. This latest storm was some heavy wet snow....huh....and the v-belt done slipped off!

What's it take to put the v-belt back onto the pulley wheel so it will throw snow, and don't tell me to take it to Richter's small engine repair in M-boro? Will be fixing this myself! Isn't there a super el cheapo small engine repair in Laconia somewhere close to Main St like at Morgan Memorial?
