Anybody had to replace the snow blower auger gear box yet? Mine just split, and I don't think I sucked up a rock or ran it into anything. Any idea how much it costs or if another brand will fit?

#3120418 snow blower, gearbox - d142m9jdj-blwr (49brutusgearbox2435

Wow, that's a first for Brutus destruction -- got pictures?

Depending on year, looks to be this part: #3120418 SNOW BLOWER, GEARBOX - D142M9JDJ-BLWR (49BRUTUSGEARBOX2435)

some individual gearbox components are also available, you just need to dig around on Parts Catalog | Polaris Commercial Vehicles

I havn't had a chance to take a close look to see how much damage there is. I'm hoping it is limited to the case.

a couple of years ago the shaft that comes thru the fan snapped in two but did not damage anything else.
The Shaft on mine snapped where it was milled down to a smaller size, notice the rusty part on yours is milled down to a smaller size. We have an ex machine shop owner working with us and he said the shaft is milled wrong and ones like that snap a lot, yours doesn't look broke, but if someone else had theirs break that's why.

You have to tear a lot apart to get everything out, but except for a snap ring tool the rest are common wrenches and sockets.
