2 Stage Gear Box

[SethL1984 38]

Ok Fellas, 

 

2 Stage (79361) froze, was blowing snow and then the screech! Won't move, I believe its the gear box. I haven't had a chance to tear into it yet but what should I expect/look for? Are the gears readily available?

 

HELP!

The gearbox is a Peerless, the odref.com website (Outdoor Distributors Reference) has drawings and part numbers. PartsTree and Jacks Small Engines both have some parts available.

I have only had the cover off to check the gears and change the gear oil on my '98 2 stage.

Here are the part numbers for the gear box.

 

Mfg: Peerless (Tecumseh)
Model: 1000-014 (Model is 1000 and option is 014 for right angle drive)
7/8" shafts in and out.
Rating 3600 rpm and 10 HP

 

Outdoor Distributors has them at a reasonable price

Thanks guys!

 

Wait, why did they but such a low HP gearbox on a blower designed for 16+ horsepower.

There's not to much inside those right angle gear boxes. 2 gears and bearing. Are you sure that's what locked up or are we talking about the auger gear box?

Did anything get wedged inside the auger or paddle?
