Today I took the Ariens out for a quick and fast blow, has I was getting to finish the job, I heard a strange noise coming from the front hehehe, the impeller was turning but not the rakes whoooo, I took the thing apart and I was surprised of what I saw take a look 
No comment on this one here http://www.jackssmallengines.com/snow_arn_wormshaft.cfm 
This is whats left of the radial bearing couldn't find any ball s around 
This one looks good to the eye but it's worn at the end so here's the thing I' m searching for a deal or new parts for 86$ or more what a mess 
To get the shaft out I had to hammered it and then grind around the end shaft to reinsert the bearing http://www.thebigbearingstore.com/servlet/the-594/1635-Radial-Ball-Bearing/Detail

It looks like there is a lot of dried grease on the helical. Did the case have any grease? Older Simplicitys had a gear like that but even thicker as the axle was much thinner. It was held in place with a key. It looks like yours is held on with a roll pin. was the round part a brass pin? What model is that? Trouts2 your right, I think the gear case was starving a little, I put some grease in 2 years ago and I used some cold weather gear oil from Canadiantire, I think next time I'll get Ariens specific ones. Probaly my gear got so hot and dry...

The good news is it's not a Honda  Looks like it won't cost you that much, hope it won't take long to get the parts. Good luck. Paul |
