Bought a used bl 2563 Kubota rear blower this fall. I put it to its first heavy use today. The blower was working great. Then I backed up into a pile of snow to hard and the auger quit spinning. I pulled it in my garage to change out a shear bolt and thankfully I picked some extra ones up. Well neither shear bolt was busted and the auger still wouldn't move. When I removed the shear bolts I realized 1 of the previous owners used regular bolts not shear bolts. Needless to say instead of a dollar shear bolt I broke the $1200 gear box. I guess I should of replaced the bolts when I first got it to make sure but I never thought someone would do that. Does anyone know where I could find a used gear box anywhere? Or have any ideas for me. To just buy the gear only kit is over $700. I am really bummed about this. I have over $800 into this blower and now it's just a counter weight.
