Big (about 3/4" to 1" dia) rubber disc with reset under it on motor.  
Press HARD.  First time, Bill told me to tap it with a hammer.  I do it at 
least once every season.

Oh dear.  I was out playing with my new snowblower and the thing got
clogged up and the blower motor stopped.  I switched off moments after I
saw it wasn't turning, but now it won't go on again.  I've left it to
cool a while and still no dice. Rest of the tractor stll works fine, and
the PTO switch kicks on and off OK, just no blower motor.  Dare I ask
what I have done?  Is there a reset somewhere I am not seeing?

Guess I'll check for voltage at the PTO outlet first, then head for the
motor itself.  Oh I *do* hope I haven't burned it out. . .
