    Hmmm……didn’t know they have snowblowers that go into stealth mode.

    The pto-driven mower deck for my tractor continues to spin long after I've disengaged it. You can see the top of a pulley still moving. There is a grease fitting there...I've often through of attaching a small flag or something that will spin (and stop) with it as a reminder, but so far I've remembered to stay in my seat until it halts.

    he had finished his snowplowing but when he put it in the garage he noticed a clump of snow in the impeller so reached in to clear it. Apparently when he shut it off it also jammed itself.

    There are times when I honestly believe that we men aren’t meant to have 10 digits on our hands.
    A thumb and a finger on each hand and the rest are spare parts.

    Most snowblowers I have dealt with provide a tool for clearing the blower.

    If there is a belt involved, there may be a brake available to save wear on the belt. I don't think there is any such thing for the gearbox ones.

    So glad there was no serious damage Shirley.

    I still remember the day I decided to take the pan out of the hot oven...with my bare hands. Some lessons we never have to learn twice.

    I have a 32 HP Kuboto.

    It has a mid-PTO and a rear-PTO, both shaft-driven. The only mower belt is the big one on the deck itself that goes from the main pulley to the 3 blades. It's interesting that is spins so freely, but I guess when you put the PTO in Neutral, there's no friction to stop it.

    Boy, @Shirley Martin , you need to get after all of these guys ! They somehow don’t realize that this is a SPIRALIZER thread, and are busy chatting about snow blowers and lawn mowers, and even tractors. I guess you should have been more specific, maybe ?

    Nah, it's OK. You know men like to brag about their tools.... How big they are, how strong they are, how deep they go... things like that. :)
