The worm gear on my 24" 10hp 20 yr old ariens auger went last year They wanted $350 for near gear box. F that. Held off. A few weeks ago My brother was able to find me a similar machine at the kingston recycling center that with a few minor adjustments i was able to make the front end from the freebie go on my machine.
Was workin like a fine swiss watch the other day until with one pass to go. Augers wouldnt engage even tho brand new belt. Pulled it apart to discover that the end of the bolt that goes through the adjustable tension pulley that engages the belt stripped so tension pulley was pushin off belt. $2 at ace tor new bolt nut and washers and back in business. Wife said why dont i just to out and by new machine. I said well i dont see u runnin out there with a shovel or handin me $1200 buckaroos to buy a new one.....thats if i could even find one right now..::::
