Older Ice Auger Bit

[Get Er Done Guy]

I have an older gas auger and I somehow lost the blade on it my last time out. I am assuming that it broke off on my last hole being drilled and is in the bottom of the lake. It was a single blade on the auger bit and was a bit rusted. My question is, where does a guy find a new auger to put on this one? I am not quite sure of the brand name but I just got it running good so I do not really want to buy a whole new one. Any help would be appeciated. I am going to try to take the bit off tonight and see what kind of connection it would require.

I would take the whole unit to a sport/bait shop that has blades and just find one that the holes match up. If it's real old, chances are it's a jiffy or eskimo. Since they were the biggest producers there for a while. Could you post a pic here? I'm sure we could indentify it for you.

I was going to try to purchase a new blade but the part that it attaches to is gone also. The whole thing broke away from the bit. I will try to get a picture of it tonight and post on here. Thanks.

Is it white? A friend of mine has a 25 year old jiffy that's white and has a single chipper style blade.

Take the auger off at the power head and measure the diameter. You can get new augers for $50-$100.

Here are some pics. Hopefully this works!!!

Like Chris said you'll need a new auger. Which one will depend on the rotation of the engine and what size shaft it has. You may get lucky and find a used one from someone thats updated to a different blade style.

My brother has the same auger. He just got it this winter and has not yet needed to replace the blade though
