Earthquake Auger

[1900_LE]

Does anyone know if they make a ice bit for the earthquake auger? If so where can I get one. Tried google, no luck

It looks a heck of a lot like an Eskimo. I would contact them and see what they say.

Try the "tc-store.com". It looks like they offer some power auger ice bits. Don't know for sure if they have the same coupler as the earth augers.

CJH is right. That's an Eskimo...made by Ardisam in Wisc. Give them a call @ 1-866-373-9665. They're nice people.

Its basically the same thing I have the eskimo ice auger and my dad has the earth auger version. If I wanted to I could put my bit on his. Just buy a ice bit for yours. Oh and you might need to tune the carb a bit for running in the cold better.

Is the rotation the same on both models?

The reason I ask, is Jiffy uses a different gear box and different rotation on the earth auger version, than they do on the ice version.

Curious if that may be the case with the Eskimo also.

I believe it is but not 100% I drill some holes with the earth auger this summer I can check today and post back.

Talked to the folks at Eskimo. She told me their ice bit will work, but I'll have a hard time starting my engine in the winter. So I'll just wait till I get up there and buy a new one. Thanks for the info tho.

They will tell you that but its as easy as adjusting the carb to run in the colder temps. Last year I was thinking of doing the same thing and I left my earth auger outside all night on a cold night and fired it up in the morning and it worked fine with no carb adjustment. I ended up buying a new ice auger because I got an awesome deal otherwise I would have done what you were thinking.
