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

I bought a used Toro 421 and used it today.  The electric start didn't work, but after quite a few manual pulls I got it started. Actually it runs pretty good when it's warmed up and it did a good job. But all of a sudden I heard a clank it stopped running.  1 pull to restart, but then it shut off.  It turns out the auger is stuck, not moving, froze up so everytime I try to use it, it shuts off.  I think it's a safety feature or something.  Anyway it still runs and the wheels still turn it's just the auger.  Any suggestions on what I should do, or how much this will cost me.  I hate to get rid of it, but If this costs a lot I'd just buy a new one.  

Thanks in advance.
