Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I am looking for some help from those more knowledgeable than I. 
I was given a snowthrower as a gift a few years back.  I recent had a worm gear break preventing engaging drive. 

I am unable to identify WHAT snowblower I actually have as the serial number is rubbed off an illegible.  The only markings on the unit are "Spirit" and 1028, denoting the HP and deck size.  It has a Tecumseh 10 HP motor.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

I think Spirit snowblowers were made by Murray.

More info:

Its Canadian!
I have a serial number but no model number.
2 local parts places were not eager to help me identify it or the part that is broken.

I thought I had posted a link to a little more info about your snowblower, but it's disappeared.

So anyway, go to Google, and do a search for "Spirit Snowblower" (use the parenthesis)

Then look for a thread about Widow needs help. It will probably be on the first or second page of google. They have some pictures of a Spirit snowblower, and some people believe that it's a Murray machine. I don't know if it will help you identify anything or not. But it's the best I could find.

Good luck repairing your machine.

If worst comes to worst try opening up the worm gear casing and measuring the broken stuff inside. You will probably find you can order the parts for a different make and model and they will be identical or at least "close enough".
