Snow Blower Auger Gear Replacement

[BigRedD180 1]

Hi guys,

I have a single stage snow blower attachment that came with a c-80 i bought a few years ago, been using it, and works great. However, the other day, it quit working and found the drive gear was completely chewed up, then I started looking at the other gears and found the auger gear is looking pretty rough. The gears are so sharp that I actually cut my finge when I was feeling them :*****: Hoping it is makes it thru this winter so I can rebuild it for next year.

Does anyone know if the gear can be cut off and a new one welded on to the auger or do I have to buy a new/used auger?

Thanks

Mike
