Area (non-Corvair)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi everyone,<BR><BR>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?<BR><BR>Thanks!<BR>Karl<BR><IMG
