Clifford – You ripped right into it, nice going.

 

   The pictures can be aligned vertically by inserting a carriage return after each one.  Great pictures.

 

   If you have the time please post the diameter and width of the helical gear.

 

   If the helical is unusable you might be able to pickup a dead machine and use the front end from it.  When the drive gearbox goes it’s a $6-700 part so guys usually scrap their machine.  You might get lucky and find one on Craigslist.

I have decided while I  have this apart is to get a new hexical gear,its not in real good shape. Better off doing it now then later..Think I got lucky on this one. $600 is a lot a money for this whole gearbox.

Nice pics . . . where's the grease on that gear?  That thing should be swimming in Mag1 Lubriplate Toro part number 505-101.

The requirement for the auger gearbox is GL-5 or GL6 SAE 85-90 EP transmission oil. Do not use synthetic gear oil. This directly from the Toro powershift 824 operator manual.
