Hello Again. When I am snowthrowing the traction drive does not disengage.My understanding is when you depress the handle on the left side the blower moves,when you let up on the handle it suppose to stop.Well once you put it in gear it goes until you shift it back in neutral.The handle, it seems does'nt control anything. Can you help me again,Thanks

This will be my last post on this issue, I would like to thank  Packo and trouts for there help.Hats off to you guys, I woke up with about 15" of snow this morning and could'nt get out to get parts.So,I looked everywhere around here for a retaining ring and behold..  The retainer ring I got off of my 2ton floor jack, The ring that holds the wheels on.This worked great. All is running and blowing well.....THANKS AGAIN.......CLIFF

I have decided while I  have this apart is to get a new hexical gear,its not in real good shape. Better off doing it now then later..Think I got lucky on this one. $600 is a lot a money for this whole gearbox.

""""Thanks Trouts"""    Corrected the pictures,The gear measurments are 3"-3/4 diameter and 9/16 wide. Thanks trouts for your help. I really appreciate it. 

 I worked at Phillips crap House in the mid 70s, Raised in OC, Been in fla for along time and just decided to move back, Glad I did.Still a great place, and Phillips still cookin them blue Crabs,
