I have exhaustively searched for a left side auger gearcase half for my Sears/Murray model 536.918200 snowblower but have come up empty. The Murray p/n is 50217. The national Murray parts distributor has none & shows part as NLA.

The reason I need one is that I accidently BROKE it in two when removing one of the auger rakes.

I am considering brazing the broken 2 pieces back together - any tips to make a successful repair?

Thanks!

Yipee!  All my parts arrived Monday - Sears was very prompt in sending me everything I ordered! Here's the old & new auger gearcase halves:

Note that the new case part has 7 bolts to secure the case halves as opposed to the old part's 4 bolts. The new case also offers reinforcing bosses to help strengthen the piece's integrity. I messed up the old case half so badly that I just tossed it...

JDavidson - THANK YOU AGAIN for mentioning this to me & for offering your findings & assistance!

Snowshoveller - You're not kidding about antiseize getting EVERYWHERE! Even when you think you have it all wiped off, it magically resurfaces...
