451 Auger Opinions
Ok. So, maybe some of you saw or remember that I mentioned in a post in another thread, that I broke the auger in my 451 snowblower. Ran a chunk of concrete in it that was buried in the snow. Didn't even see it, but felt it, when it sheared the drive pin. Ok. No problem. Replaced the pin. Well, about 20 minutes later, I was having trouble with it plugging. Got off to clean the chute and noticed the pin was sheared again, but this time only sheared half the pin. The remaining half stayed in and ripped the auger tube. (See pic) Now, I think I can repair it, but it got me kind of worried. Middle of season, parts availability of parts for that old of a machine, that sort of thing. So, called the local cub dealer. He said a new auger was available and gave me the price. Didn't break the bank so I ordered it. Well, got it in, and it's a new design.
So..... here is the question. Has anyone used a snowblower with this style of auger? Is it any better, or worse than the other style? I like the look, but not sure how well it will actually function. My choices are: 1.) Repair and use the old, saving the new as a replacement 2.) Order the other side and replace both, saving the old as a "backup" Sorry for the long post, but opinions appreciated. No snow on the radar for at least 10 days, so got time to order another and fix the blower. Auger on the right is the damaged one.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
