Hello all, the auger sprocket (24 tooth sprocket) on my new to me QA42 snow thrower is severely chewed up from the chain slipping over it. All the teeth are worn and rounded off.
It has enough teeth to turn right now, but I'm not sure that'll be the case when it gets loaded down with snow. I've attached a photo below.
Any rate, the sprocket looks to be plug welded on, and I see I can buy new sprockets with 3 ovals for plug welding, but the same source also has a new sprocket with a 1" stub shaft and a hole drilled in one end of the shaft. It's the 6th item down on the following link.

Does anyone know how this type of repair works? Does the factory stub end on the auger have a bolt or pin holding it in place? I think it's be easier (and cheaper) to buy just the sprocket and have it welded, but seeing thr sprocket and stub shaft makes me wonder.
