Ok, no vise grips like Dave so this is what I got.
A little heat didn't do anything. On to the acetylene torch...

Re: My snowcaster needs some TLC
One of those days. They say the hammer likes the chisel but it likes the finger too.
Plan B: remove rivets and pulley and use the puller.
The puller didn't budge it.
Plan C: cutting disk, hammer, and chisel.
Yes. Good.
Nasty one this

Cleaned up, welded the cut and it's almost like new well, I'm known to exagerate a little for entertainment purposes.

Eugen, that hand looks like you pulled a Eugene. Your red is a bit darker than powder red but it is Case blood.

Re: My snowcaster needs some TLC
Darn it @Eugen I told you to be more careful. that looks like it smarts a little.
@DavidBarkey @Eugen I had just recently been in that thread, otherwise I would have been searching too. I think we had a few blower and winter prep threads going at the same time last fall.

Take it easy on your self.

Re: My snowcaster needs some TLC
Your progression in getting it loose reminds me of this.
Glad you got it apart, and more importantly, glad you’ll heal up to fight another day!
Cut up hands and bloodied knuckles isn’t fun. Glad that’s never happened to me! Yeah right, more times than I care to admit or remember! Thank goodness for tetanus shots. If you didn’t bleed a little when working on it you probably weren’t trying hard enough! Glad you got it apart, and more importantly, glad you’ll heal up to fight another day!

Re: My snowcaster needs some TLC
I don't have to explain to you guys, as careful as you think you are accidents happen. Luckily both injuries are pretty minor.
On the bright side, the drive shaft and related parts are ready for assembly. New chain, new bearings.
For the auger I got a couple of new Fafnir 204KRR2 bearings, which have the outer diameter smaller than the original bearings, and need a sleeve. I will make sleeves for these out of the outer race of the old bearings.
We had some amazing weather for the last week and a half so I took advantage of it and got some vacation days. Besides catching up with some of the stuff needing to get done before the bad weather arrives, I spent more time with the kids too. Pretty crazy to go for walks in t-shirts in the middle of November! I'm not complaining!
There's another thing that I spent time on fixing in the last few days. The alternator on the big backhoe, a delco 10si 24 volts. I'll write about it in the 680 thread because something interesting happened.
