Default Snowblower Auger Jammed: need advice on how to take auger apart


"Shawn" wrote in message

Hi!

I own an old craftsman snowblower and the auger won't turn anymore. I
think that an object, probably a rock, is logged in there somewhere.
The blower is already opened up and split in two, but I can't seem to
figure out how to dismantle the auger to remove the object jamming it.

Any help is much appreciated, I would hate having to bring it to a
mechanic
:-( hehe

Thanks!

Shawn

Have you tried moving the auger in the opposite direstion?
NOT BY HAND
try to pry it somehow with a 2x4 just to see if it moves. It just might
clearyour jam. If not follow the post above.
My guess is the tranny gearing is jammed.
