Thread-topic: Snowblower , shell rusting in the bottom of the case

Anyone have solution for a repair or replacement to the bottom of the shell to snowblower?

The shell/case is just bulging inward and just starting to brush the middle of the auger.

I’m guessing that there is an area of at lease 6” by 3” which would require a curved patch of at least 12”x 6” completed by a fairly skilled welder. Also modify & improve the drainage at the bottom.

The other is to find or rebuild the entire outer shell, if one exists ,or change it out to some other brand and rig a hole new method of powering it as well as attachment.

The rest is in good shape and working well.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Hank
