I have a Montgomery Ward Snow Thrower Model 495A. A rope got caught in the auger. Now the motor runs but the auger will not turn. Any idea what was broken and where I can get parts to fix it?

I have an older Montgomery Ward Snow Thrower model No. TM0-35286A and I'm having a hard time finding parts for it. The tiller just stopped working so I'm thinking the worm-gear is shot, but I can't even find the part on-line...Can you help?
Well..., with the rope, it could be shear pins, but the most likely thing is a burned-out belt
with the worm gear, you gotta crack it open and look, but you could probably use a worm gear from something else, provided that it's of similar size.
you can also try MTD, they've inherited Montgomery Ward
it could also be a sheared pulley key
actually, you need to call Toro/Lawnboy since Lawnboy bought up gilson, and montgomery ward contracted Gilson
