As an after thought to previous reply,doing a google search for the shaft/worm gear same is a much sought after item,you can't blame husqvarna for part being discontinued as they probably don't make the actual auger drive,most mfg bid out parts/complete assembies for lowest price & have no control over quality of same,if part/assembly has poor workmanship,low grade parts,a high failure rate or part/assembly discontinued by mfg husqvarna may be stuck as well as customer for a replacement.
There could be a couple of reasons part failing/nla.
1-drive may have been made by peerless or a sub-contractor for peerless,for yrs tecumseh may have been playing both sides of the fence in that most snowblowers used tecumseh eng & peerless being a divison of tecumseh may have made auger drive & tecumseh would now sell eng/drive to snowblower mfg,over the yrs peerless or sub-contractor may have switched to a cast aluminum/stamped steel case to remain cost attractive to blower mfg,it may also be cause of drive failure.
2-husqvarna was buying cheap imported drives with a poor design/low quality parts in same & a cast aluminum/stamped steel case causeing a high failure rate & drive being discontinued by mfg.
Before rushing out & buying a new shaft/worm gear assembly I would carefully check case,bearing/bushing & shaft fit especially if case cast aluminum/stamped steel,the actual cause of problem may be worn case or worn bearings/bushings causeing mis-alignment of shaft & worm gear taking the beating.If there is case or bearing/bushing wear & you just replace shaft you're probably going to be looking for another shaft very soon.

He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
