Hi Folks, It appears that I have a frozen gear box on my snowblower. It
worked great yesterday but I guess the cold weather last night froze the
gear box, So I'm unable to change gears. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks

Is it the gearbox that is frozen, or a control cable that got water in
it?

I ran the snowblower in my shed for about 15 minutes. After the engine was
hot enought to melt any ice and the gears started tol work again.

Thanks

Most likely you need to change the oil in the gearbox. It develops
condensation over time and that can cause the contents of the box to freeze.
