Yea, should be a very common bearing, any Napa or farm store should be able to pull it off the shelf in back.

I think it is commonly known as a "Dog Eater".

I have to say OUCH!!!!! I can see replacing those bearings as a week long ordeal. They appear to be not only solidly rusted on but also self-aligning. The inner race of self aligning bearings seem to resist all methods of removal except for blue wrench. I usually take the old bearing or the measurements to my local bearing store but this looks like a tough dis-assembly job.

I'm not a snow blower expert, but it looks to me like it might be a home made deal. Some emery cloth on the shaft with some oil and they will probably come off better than thought.

My first thought also when I saw the cut off rear axle and what appears to be a modified ensilage blower elbow.
Looks pretty well built but I think the auger could be a little bigger.
Looks like it was a grain auger in an earlier life.
