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.

Welcome to the forum!!

Who made the blower, was it MTD??

                                             Fred  

Hey Fred!

The prefix on the machine is 536-Do you haver the code list?

Marc

536 is Murray.

 Guys,

536 was Western Tool & Stamping, then AMF(Murray)

         Hope this helps!

                                                     Fred   

PS                  Go to:         www.edgeta.org/sears.htm       for a list!

Hi!DRLMN11

The guys have given you the info you need . Go to some of the internet parts houses and try to cross reference the part under Murray as the manufacturer instead of Sears or Craftsman.

Welcome to the forum. By the way I have heard that the worm and pinion should be replaced as a set where possible. There are some real pros on this board who will doubtless be able to advise you.

Marc

it seems that others are looking for this also

Chewed up the bronze worm gear on my Sears snowblower
and I'm finding out that they are not available through the typical avenues. Anybody have any suggestions where I could find a replacement.
Snowblower # is 536.918200 and the bronze gear # is 50223.
Thanks

here is what appears to be the "exploded" sdolution


 have the same blower and went through the same repair due to the floor model having grade 2 instead of shear bolts. I have found 2 gears which might work you will have to measure. www.lawnandgardenparts.com, in site search type worm gear a pictute and measurements looks a lot like the one I replaced. Its a MTD 717-0528. LOL link below

but it is only 20 tooth

On the Sears website, If you go ahead a put the worm gear into your shopping cart, it tells you it's not available for order. Bummer!!

We're Sorry. Due to unavailability, the following parts can not be ordered.

Part Number:	Part Description:	Model Number:
50223	GEAR, WORM	536918200

Good try though, hopefully someone can come up with something else.

 Hi,

The Muray web site is no longer available since Briggs bought them on Murray's finance problems!

You may have to wait, till the dust from the changes take place, for parts from them.

I think it will be under a new Murray site or under Briggs!!

                                                                  Fred              

How about this........is this the right one?  Looks like 22 teeth......

Gear Worm

Part# 51405 Our Price: $29.65 Qty: 12345

This is at Jacks

http://www.jackssmallengines.com/murray_snow_parts.cfm

and jack's unlike sears will let u put it in your cart!

Emmo's the man.

I don't know that this is the correct part though,   it could be, I don't know.  Would be worth a phone call.


Another place to try would be RCPW.com

I found this along with others:

Murray-Noma

313861

GEAR, WORM 22T 3.125

$58.83

Again, I don't know that this is a cross match to the Sears number.   Phone calls would be in order.

Good luck!!

WOW! $59 is a bit hefty for a small worm gear, isn't it guys?

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...
Marty

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?
