I have an 18516-05 Bolens 36" sno-caster (snow blower) that needs another gearbox, gearbox parts, or maybe a complete replacement snow-blower. I'm in North Idaho but I'm willing to suffer shipping if you have a nice complete snow blower attachment for a tube-frame 1656 / H16 Bolens.

Please PM if you have a gearbox, complete snow blower or leads. :thumbs:

Thanks in advance,

Craig

I rebuilt the gearbox on mine right after i bought it, the PO ran it without any gear oil. Got the bearings from the local bearing shop and a new set of gears from Ricks Bolens Parts, ie blackjackjakexxix. After replacing all the bearings, including the ones on the auger, it spins like a dream. Cost more than $100, but it was money well spent. if your gears are ok, replacing the bearings and seals is fairly easy and much cheaper. Until i looked at the pictures I had forgotten that I had a broken wrist when I rebuilt this. It took me a while to figure out how to get the self adjusting bearing out, it just turns and then pops out.
