Simplicity 560 "dilemma"

The augers rusted to the shaft, unbeknownst to me until I hit a hidden stick and that was it. Where the heck can I find used or reasonable new parts for this old dog?

Holy stinkin' Hannah!

I ordered all my Simplicity parts yesterday online from Small Engine Parts Warehouse (sepw.com) and they were on my front stoop this afternoon! I wasn't expecting them till sometime late last week. They had everything in stock (obviously) and their prices were great. Now I just have to put everything back in and weld up my cuts.

Its a no brainer I'll be using them for all my parts needs. These guys rock!

   Nice save.  That's probably the most substantially built 5hp machine ever made.
