GEAR CASE
ALUMINUM GEAR CASE
1.
Remove auger/impeller and gear case from housing referring to Auger/Impeller Section.
44.Removesix bolts that hold right and left gear case halves together.
45.If flange bushings need replacement, first remove seals from outside of gear case halves with a screwdriver.
Flange bushings can then be pressed out from outside in with a bearing driver. Bushings are very lightly
pressed in.
46.When replacing bushings make sure the flat on the flange of bushing fits in the inside notch of the case.
47.There are two special washers, one on either side of bronze gear. If burred or worn, they should be replaced.
48.Holding bronze gear on rake shaft is a groove pin. When driving out, drive in direction of least resistance. The
flat on bronze gear face will fill the hole in the side of the gearcase.
49.Remove bronze bushing from front of worm shaft by sliding it off. Replace if necessary. Notice that a flat on the
bushing flange positions the bearing inside the gear case.
50.Behind rear bronze bushing is a seal which fits into a groove in gear case. It should be replaced at time of
repair.
51.Rear bushing is a larger diameter than one in front, but are identical in design. Replace if necessary.
52.If replacement of thrust collar is necessary, drive out groove pin towards direction of least resistance.
53.Inspect worm shaft for burrs or black coloration. If either show up, replace shaft.
54.Prior to re-assembly, apply Locktite 118 on gear case half. Reassemble. Make sure the flats on the bushings
are in their proper place.
This case requires Ariens L-2 P/N 00008000 and should be half full.
After assembly is complete you should be able to turn input shaft freely.
Auger/impeller gear case is lubricated with Ariens L-2 (P/N 00008000). Check lubrication by removing filler plug.
Lubrication should be even with hole with unit
sitting level. It may be necessary to insert a wire into the hole to check level. Unit will not be damaged by
over-lubricating but may cause leakage.

59.To remove worm gear and bearings, simply remove bolt and washer from end of shaft.
60.Assembly is done by inserting bronze gear and worm gear at same time.
61.Using adjustment wrench, tighten down on adjustment plug until input shaft is snug.
62.Replace side cover using a sealant on threads of two bottom bolts.
