Murphy's Law is nailing me this week. My beloved Airens 1032 1980? is shot. I found a 1972 Toro 832 that hadn't been used for 10 years...runs great however I was worried about the drum auger and no shear bolts as I went through a couple shear bolts a season with the Airens. Well today (second time I used the Toro) I scooped a rock and now the left auger isn't working. The right auger and the impeller work fine. I called Toro and explained, they said its probably the Carriage Bolts #8. I think its the HH Screw #54. Any help? Also, I need to lube the gear box, whats the oil I should use? Thanks, Abby's Guide has been a savior today. Still missing the Airens.
