john deere 522 Original Message Jan 18, 2008 11:28 am
hello all i have a john deere 522 snowblower in for service. his gearbox wormgear is shot. john deere part number pt11829. it is no longer available. does anyone know of a replacement or a cross reference. thanks
Just curious. Is this an old machine? If so how old and what happened to the worm gear? No lube or catastrophic failure due damage to the auger drive shaft? The reason I ask is that my Simplicity has a very robust looking cast iron gear case. Can't imagine the internals failing for no good reason.
the engine code puts is about a 1985. its an aluminum gearbox. just wear and tear i guess. its a steel input from impellar shaft, bronze worm gear. i spose the bushing wore out causing slop. the entire set of teeth on the worm gear are cupped out. thanks
