Re: Craftsman 2 stage - half auger won't turn

Guys,
Not sure how to take a picture.  Any picture I take will look like a normal unit.  I think I found the cause of the damage, however.  It appears the previous owner used a regular bolt, not a shear bolt in the other half.

I took all the bolts out of the gear housing, thinking it would split in half so I can get to the gears, but it hasn't.  Any good ideas how to take it apart?

clay,
Originally, the one side moved some, slowly.  Now, with the shear bolt replaced neither move.

If I engage the auger with the engine off, I can turn both augers , but the impeller does not turn, so I guess gear box.  I have both shear bolts in.

looks like the impeller and shaft to the gear box are spinning...but the auger doesn't move.....so either this model (536.886190) has more than two shear bolts, or gear box broken I guess.

The impeller spins very well with the pulley, but still no auger.

Yes, the auger drive pulley is spinning nicely when engaged.  Not sure where to look for the auger drive shaft spinning.  The pulley is flat against a metal plate, so I suppose on the other side where the auger is?
