I would love to find one of the 3.15 speed up pulley or a 3.5" speed up pulley. I'd imagine that a machine supply would probably have one. It doesn't seem to be something that unique??

FWIW:
They are not schematics, as that term refers to electrical drawings of circuits.
( just to help)
Ebay/internet/motion industries/Granger and surplus center, all have pulleys.
A person can also go one tooth more on the jack shaft drive sprocket to increase the auger speed, but I would caution on playing with that because while an increase in no load auger speed theoretically will throw faster, you need the horse power to pull that extra load, and that you don't have. BTDT
Some years back I did just that, I even experimented with using a tiller box when I sheared a few teeth off in the thrower box.
In short, yes it worked using different sprocket teeth to get the same auger speed/ratio. (math is your friend)
BUT when I was able to locate a good thrower gear box I rebuilt/ installed it, and all works as it should.
The gear box shafts are easily made if worn on the lathe and mill, and the bearings are very common as they are the same bearing(6203)used for Delco Generators/Alternators since the 1930s and today in Many applications like idler pulleys Etc etc.
And "Parts by jeff" at the top of the page makes shafts among other "goodies"
You will prolly find the bigger bevel gear had a couple of teeth broken off.
Trying to remember but seems like one is about 15 teeth and the other 28 or30 teeth.(at my age I cant remember what I had for B'fast.)
As said by others:
FULL engine rpms and keep its mouth full of snow till rpms just start to drop is the sweet spot for throwing snow far distances.
When all is back together check your RPMS with a $ 10 ebay tach.
If you search my 6000 ++ posts some years, back I cover most all of what I have just written.
Hurry, all this frozen sunshine is gonna melt next week!
