I broke the keyway in my auger gear box has anyone had to repair one looking for information on sealing it. I was thinking black rtv silicon on the housing. Any information on how it goes back together will be much appreciated.

You may try calling a specialty lubricants dealer. They should be able to spec out a compatible counterpart. Avoid EP oils, as they typically contain sulfur additives that can react with soft metals. Ideally you would want a non detergent/ non EP straight gear oil.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
