I own an old ice auger. I believe the brand is Eskamo. No, not Eskimo...Eskamo. Anyway, it's older than dirt but still works great. I looked on the internet and found basically nothing about who made them. The problem is that inside the recoil part, a small piece of metal broke that prevents the recoil from "grabbing" and turning the engine over. (It's kinda like interlocking gears). It appears too small to weld. I know you all are going to tell me to go buy a new Strike Master and be done with it. Well, I already did that. I'm trying to fix it now so that I can give it to a buddy who is still using his hand auger to drill holes in late January! My question is, does anyone out there know where a person kind find salvage parts for an ice auger? Would a place that has salvage small engie parts have what I'm looking for? If so, where is one those? Thanks!
