All i'm saying is that it looks like a rebadged  Husqvarna .

I am having the same problem on my 1128le . I am currently using the bungee method  that Borat has suggested, it ain't pretty but it works.

It's red, but it isn't a toro, looks more like a Husqvarna to me.

Good question and one that has me baffled as well.

I have had to replace a couple of shear bolts over the years and always use shear bolts , and I am diligent with maintanence like greasing the auger , so no issues there.

 I have no clue as to why this happened , and the day it did happen I assumed it was just a shear bolt ... Suprise!

Thanks for the offer GtwNorth that is very kind of you, but I already gave my dealer the go ahead to do the job.

The part is actually  less than what he had originally quoted me which is around 330.00 and your  right,  that doesn't include labour.

What  upsets me most about this whole gear box thing,  is that  I spent the extra money on a premium brand thinking that I would never have to worry about  a problem such as this.

 And Ariens somewhere down the line knew that these gear boxes were not robust enough for their  higher HP machines and the gear boxes are now bigger. It is my understanding that the gearbox that was in my machine is now used on Ariens  6hp machines.

It would be interesting to know how many people have had this same problem, and why Ariens didn't recall these machines.  Shame on you Ariens.

Thanks

Al
