Hi, I have several 26" AMF snowblowers, models 13620300TA, 13610300, and 13610500HC1.  I am looking for manuals for these.  There are some similar manuals on ebay but I don't know how close they are to mine.  AMF also made snowblowers for Sears, with manufacturers code 536.  They still sell Sears snowblowers using the 536 code (or at least they did a few years ago), made by Murry/Noma, now owned by Briggs & Stratton.  There are parts diagrams and a few parts available for these machines on the Sears website, using their Parts Direct feature.  The Sears model numbers for similar machines are 536.82565 and 536.82567.  Model 536.90520 has the next generation of controls, similar to vintage Toro and Gilson blowers, and 536.909800 is a bit newer yet.  I also have a 24" Sears blower, model 536.90512, and a friend has a slightly newer 24" machine, model 536.909700. 

Several people have mentioned drive problems.  One problem I have had is that the mechanism that holds the rubber drive disk can loosen up and distort, preventing the spring from putting full pressure on the drive disk.  Tightening the fasteners holding this assembly together is the cure.  The rubber drive disk for the machines with the all rubber disk is available from Sears, part #27046MA.  The newer style, rubber attached to metal, is not available from Sears, but is similar to the disk used by several manufacturers so any good shop should be able to supply one.

If anyone has manuals for mine, or who knows where I can find one, you can send me an email at jkraft@together.net.
