BSCC- Machine shop in Boston Area (non-Corvair)

Karl;   Hi!

        You could try heating up the auger, with a torch all along where the shaft goes thu it, and then try to break them free..  Don't heat the shafts...

  Hi everyone,

  I have a bit of a snowblower emergency.  The augers (parts 520 and 521 in the below diagram) are rusted fast to the shaft that goes through the gear case. I was wondering why I never broke any shear bolts the past couple of years... that's why. Needless to say, the gear in the gear case is stripped and I can't get the gear case apart to replace it until I get the augers off the shaft. Try though I might, I can't get them off and I was hoping a machine shop could do it for a reasonable cost, even if I have to replace the shaft (that part's not too expensive, but the augers are prohibitively expensive. Anybody here know who can accomplish this task at a reasonable price?

  Thanks!
  Karl
