Should I buy? Bolens 8HP Snowblower
#1   Dec 10, 2005 9:00 am
Haven't looked at it yet...but its about an hour away.  $200      Is Bolens a good brand.  Looks like it used to be an MTD brand, but they stopped making BOlens-branded blowers.   But, was it a decent machine?  Can I still gets parts?
My Auger Gearbox is blown! Help
#2   Dec 9, 2005 4:18 pm
OK...I did a dumb thing...last year I ran out of shear bolts, and put a regular bolt in.  I totally forgot about it.  I was kindly doing my neighbors driveway..and he left his newspaper in the snow!  ARGH.    It got caught in the auger and impeller

I got the paper out but...

Now the augers don't move.   I was hoping it was the belts..no luck.  THe impeller moves freely.......it clearly looks like its the auger gearbox.  But, how do I even get the darn thing out?  And, even if I am able to access it, can I actually fix it on my own?  Is it worth fixing?  Its a 5HP craftsman  Bought 2 years ago for $350......Someone locally has a snapper 7hp for sale for $500.  I may just get that in lieu of a major repair of this.

What should I do?  Think I can repair on my own?  THis is the last way I wanted to start the weekend!
