Snowblower question-Blower impeller works but the auger blades dont on a craftsman Blower, What is the Problem?

2 stage Sears Snow blower - Upper stage to discharge works great but the lower auger spins free. I believe the problem to be in the gear box...Any other suggestions?

    There is a shear pin on the shaft to the auger. I would check that first. It is the most common culprit of your situation.
    This might help you also.

    Locate old shear pin and head to nearest Sears store,,they are usually in stock in Lawn & Garden. Or type in "shear pin" on sears.com website for several choices..OR,,,enter SearsPartsDirect website with your entire machine model number to see a diagram and order part you need. Spring is almost here,,,Finally ! Good Luck.
