Check the auger shear pins replace if necessary with correct parts(not regular bolts). If auger and the impeller are not turning your cable is out of adjustment. If only the auger doesn't turn, and the shear pins are ok then the brass/bronze gear has shredded which is why proper shear pins must be used. Donyboy73 on youtube show how to replace that gear on an older but similar MTD affiliated blower.
If I was you I would check key way to see if it has sheered off. It is in center of big drive pulley where belt goes on, Just remove nut and slide pulley off to check condition. Best to split snowblower in half. Your snowblower has two main pieces it will be 4 or 6 bolts to separate your machine.
my auger cable is not working the auger so i adjusted it and it was to tight and the plastic holder that holds the cables poped off and broke,now the cable i adjust it and nothing happens,cable is all hooked up and seems ok but it will not work right,but the auger spins with out the cable,wondering if it needs a new auger cable
adjust the auger cable so its tight, it most likely got loose. The adjustment is on the back of the machine theres 2 screws just make the auger cable tighter. this should solve your problem
most likely you have a broken shear pin. Look on the side that works, there should be a bolt or pin through it. The side that is not working is probably broke off. Find the hole in the auger and line it up with the inner shaft and replace with proper shear pin/bolt. Shear bolts can be obtained from most outdoor power equipment shops. I do not suggest replacing with standard bolt as it can cause damage to you gear box it auger gets jammed.
