Eskimo Ice auger
« on: Mar 04, 2021, 12:10 PM »
I bought an Eskimo stingray auger from a buddy  thats 11/2 years old and used a handfull  of times.. the motor starts and runs like a top but when the auger spins it sounds like the gears are grinding or something in the gear box. Is this common with these augers? Should I be concerened?

Maybe your buddy is like this guy.  That would make some grinding gears.

Lol, reminds me of cuzn Alfy when my 3 horse stuck on glare ice and he didn't have ice cleats on. But should be no noise coming from the gear box.

Yes, thats what I thought. I had a jiffy years ago and had no problems. Just thought maybe someone had an Eskimo and had same problem.
