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

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!

yes just a note to the friends here ...

if you use never seize you will have it on your pillow the next morning,i dont know how it travels so much but that stuff gets everywhere and i get and more.

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...
