13 yr old Craftsman Snowblower

18 years ago

I found a 13 year old Craftsman two stage snow blower with a 7hp snow king engine. It is in good shape for it's age but the impeller and auger are slow and don't engage fully. Can parts be found four the unit easilysome the cables and control parts state they are not avliable on Craftsman parts online. I JUST bought a house and don't have the money for a new unit. I only have a 35 foot flat paved drive way but live in New Hampshire! The model # is 536882602 which if i am correct any Craftsman that starts with 536 is a Murry built unit. Are they hard to fine parts for since Briggs bought them out?

Sometimes you can do a search on the Sears part# and find it.

I checked on line and at a Sears service center parts for the unit are no longer avaliable.

cables are fairly generic. Also they may be just stuck from lack of use. I would spend some quality time with a can of PB Blaster and some white grease as a follow up. A dab of grease and some massaging worked wonders on my latest freebie Ariens.

OK, so Cables I can get to fit. Belts are easy enough so you guys think if I can pick it-up for like $60 go for it. If any hard parts break I will most likly be out of luck and have to find another blower or weld it up.
