Eskimo Auger Gear Box Question
#5
I just greased my Jiffy after 20+years. You gotta take the bolts ouit of the gearcase and separate it. Do so VERY carefully in case there happens to be a set of needle bearings in there that might try to come out. I just cleaned out the old grease with a rag and a little brake cleaner and replaced it with Lubriplate white grease that comes in a tube like toothpaste. As far as the auger turning all the time, that could be that it's idling too fast. Another problem could be old oil that has collected in the clutch and congealed with the clutch lining dust. If that's the case, that can be cleaned out by washing with brake cleaner. PM with my phone # sent. Gimme a call with questions.
