ariens 824 low gear problem

Hi,
I have a '79 vintage 824 that runs well, but the first gear seems to have disappeared. The others all work fine and it shifts very smoothly. Any ideas? And does it even matter?
I bought this machine used for $200 and I'm considering putting a new engine on it. A local repair shop says it would be a waste because parts won't be available a bit down the road... Ariens is ripe for a take over, they claim.
We just had a foot of wet snow and it munched right through without any problems. I've ordered new belts for Spring maintenance.
