Removing Tiller from Snowblower housing!

Ok -- so a couple of weeks ago I ordered new bushing/bearings for the housing (the outside ends of the auger shaft) connect to and rotate in the housing with.

I'm having a problem removing the auger from the housing since the auger is connected to the shaft coming out of the engine. Normally, one could find a DIY/You Tube video for this -- but I can't find anything.

Any experts out there?

Here are 3 pics to help illustrate -- the first is a general shot of the housing and auger.

This 2nd picture is a close-up of the right side, as the end of the shaft rests in the bearing housing.

The bearings/bushings that I'm replacing go inside the black piece, which bolts onto the side of the housing.

The 3rd pic is a close-up of the drive-shaft and where it connects to the auger -- when removing

the auger, does it disconnect here? This is the main part of my question -

How do I remove the auger from the housing?

Two set screws visible in Pic 3 look like a place to start.

I did this on my rig a few years ago because it was leaking fluid. I ended up taking off the entire front end and had a heck of a lot of work. The guys at the repair shop sold me some super duper grease for the unit that they said would not leak out. It hasn't in the past 2 years. I thought it was odd that the make hadn't put a drain or something in the gear box to be able to service it. But then the rig is over 30 years old so I guess I can't complain.

By the looks of your pic, you might be better off taking the impeller out with the whole works. This means you will more than likely have to remove the pulley from the rear of the shaft that comes through the impeller.

It's been a while since I had my Huskee 10hp that was basically the same design.

Thanks, Lep -- your advice was spot on -- I had to remove the housing and pulleys to get the auger/differential out.

From there -- it wasn't bad. I also decided to put new belts on since I had it apart.

Thanks, fellas!

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
