Hey all,

I have a Craftsman 536.90510 and I'm looking for either a owner/service manual or someone who knows the proper procedure for adjusting the drive linkage. I had to take it apart and I didn't get it back together properly. It will go forward and backwards, but it won't go into neutral anymore.

Also wondering if anyone knows how old these are? I saw somewhere that they were made in the 70's?

Almost everything is discontinued or superseded at the sears parts site.

Anyone know what oil to use in the auger gearbox? I heard 30wt non-detergent somewhere...

Thanks!

One of my main concerns is adjusting the drive linkage. The engine manual won't help there, but I appreciate the suggestion. I'll try that and see if I can get it to run.

I'm having a hard time getting the darn thing to start, I'm tempted to just replace the motor anyways!

I do find it weird though that some model numbers "smaller" than mine go to snowblowers that are only a couple years old! Mine is definitely more than a couple years old!

I was replying to this part of your question. I understand the engine manual won't have information about the snow blower itself that's way it wasn't suggested. Using the engine numbers to try and get a close idea of what year machine you have is what I said in the reply.

I did try to find info on your machine but I couldn't find a source for a manual for your model number.

I've got one for a 536.90515, might be close enough. Shoot me your email and I'll send it along.

Shoot me a PM with your email address and I can send the pdf. If you start a thread with your issues, may be able to help you with your issues the manual doesn't cover. I will pass along one tip now, relating to the friction disc. You can't find a replacement as they're no longer available but all is not lost. I don't remember the part number but I found one for a Toro that had the right overall characteristics. It did require a little drilling and lathe work to make it fit. You have to open up the center hole a little on the lathe and redrill the holes for mounting but it will work.
