Almost winter again/Snowthrower bearing missing i

[Guest]

Please advise what kind of bearing or bushing does the horiz.auger/impeller shaft ride on, it disappeared sometime last winter . The shaft is sitting in a open hole in the end housing and must have had a support of some kind. This is a 36" wide thrower on a 2110 Landlord , right hand side, not the power drive side. I think it is a Simplicity but cannot find any i.d. plate or model no. Thanks

I'd imagine you have a single belt drive, like shown below. But, here's a link for both the single belt type and 3-belt type. Compare to yours. Note that these are Allis-Chalmers part numbers, but you should be able to cross-reference them.... There's bigger pictures (easier to read) linked to the pages below....[A href='http://www.simpletractors.com/parts/snowthrower_parts.htm'][img src='http://www.simpletractors.com/parts/snowthrowers/bd_small.gif'][/a]
