I have a Buffalo 200 that I am trying to get "un-frozen". Folks around my part of the US (Oklahoma) haven't seen a large number of the 200's. Other Buffalo models are reasonably common, particulary the 400. On my 200, the two lower gears are free, but the top drive gear is frozen. I've been working on trying to free it but the going is slow. Since these blowers aren't too common (in Oklahoma anyway) I've been very careful to not break anything since I'm not sure that I can get replacement parts.

I'd appreciate postings from anyone who can shed some light on the Buffalo 200, specifically, are the gears turning on bearings or bushings?

Sorry Ivan, I didn't mean to hi-jack your thread. Maybe we can get some answers that help us both out.
