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

 Since Sears thinks there parts do not break, they don't seem to carry some replacement parts. What I am looking for is the 22 tooth worm gear for snowblower model 536-918200. Part Number is 50223. I have looked all throu the internet and it is hard even to find a 22 tooth gear at all. Maybe just haven't looked in the right place? Even a good used one would be okay. If anyone out there can help, it would be very appeciated.

Price is right about 85-90$ canadian. make sure on the length and diameter are many different ones used ck. the inside dia. also.

Murray actually made these snowblowers for Sears. So first, call Murray Central Parts distributors at 800-848-8946 & see if they have part 50223 available.  That is the original part number for your worm gear. A close, alternative worm gear part number is from model 536.918201, and it's part # 51405 & its available from Sears parts for $35 - is this the gear you found that has 22 teeth? I would think that with only a one tooth difference, this other worm gear would be ok. If not, you would need the input shaft in addition to the gear. I would order 51405 from Sears (if you have no luck with Murray directly for the original gear) & try to compare it to your old gear (or what's left of it). You can always send the gear back & get your money minus the shipping (I think), so its worth a gamble IMHO since you say this machine is in good shape otherwise. Ebay might be another alternative. I'll look around tonight at work & see if I can locate one for you via the web.

Good Luck & let me know how you make out...

I really appreciate all the help on the worm gear. I believe the one that is at jackssmallengine is the one I need. I run a small engine shop and a guy called up knowing if I had one or could find one. I thought I looked pretty hard on all the different web sites. I did look at Jack's, but did not find this gear. I just happened to find  this site one by accident. Glad I did. I drive a 89 Buick Reatta and there is a web site solely dedicated to Reatta owners very simailar to this for any help a person may need. Isn't the internet great?  Thanks again

DId anyone ever find a correct replacement worm gear (Sears part no. 50223) for the SEARS 536.918200 snow thrower?  If not can anyone provide the sepcs?
