AUGER GEARBOX

5. To assemble the worm shaft, start with the end

opposite the worm. Install a snap ring (sharp edge

towards the rear of the gearbox), thrust washer,

thrust bearing, thrust washer, bushing and seal.

There is also a bushing on the worm end of the seal

(Fig. 095).

6. Apply a VERY light coat of Loctite Blue # 242 or

equivalent to the outer diameter of the bearing. The

Loctite should not squeeze out when everything is

tightened or you used too much (Fig. 096).

9. Lightly oil a seal protector and slide new seals down

the auger shaft. The lip of the seal should face

towards the inside. Seat the seals so the outer edge

is just ﬂ ush with the outside of the gearcase.

7. Clean the case halves by scraping; then apply a

liquid gasket remover. To ensure a good seal case

halves must be clean and dry. Apply a thin coat of

Hylomar (Toro PN 505-129) to both halves. Allow

it to cure until it is dull and tacky, at least one hour.

Then assemble.

8. Apply a light coat of oil or anti-seize to the gear case

screws. Tighten them in an X pattern to 120 in-lbs.

(15kg/m) (Fig. 097).
