Hello everyone, new guy here. I picked this Yardworks 5/22 up from the side of the road a few weeks ago. There was a sign on it that said auger doesn't turn, gearbox issue. I didnt really look at it too closely at first. So I tossed it in the truck and took it home. When I got back to the house, First thing I noticed was the Chinese engine. It starts and runs fine, whatever, no big deal. The second thing I noticed was that one of the shear pins was only half broken. Just for testing I put another bolt in to see if the auger would turn. Auger completes maybe 1 rotation and stops. That leads me to believe the worm gear is toast. Now for the biggest problem... I can't find a model number anywhere on this thing so I can order parts. I've heard Yardworks was made by MTD at one point, but they are no longer listed on the MTD website. Any ideas?

If you can't find your machine on MTD website try to find it on Partstree. Also if you call MTD customer service they will help you with parts #. They have machines not listed on their website.

That was my thought, other than the more recent made I’ve only seen Tecumseh engines on MTD Might be able to mod a MTD gearbox in there but the cost may be more than its worth
