I have a Breckwell P23 that is not feeding pellets. The cylinder in the motor spins freely and when it should but does not turn the shaft of the auger. For the past couple of weeks there would be an intermittent squeal when the auger kicked in that usually only happened for the first few cycles after start up and would then go away. Now it does not squeal at all or feed pellets. Any suggestions?
 
Found the problem, stripped gear in gearbox. Anybody know if the gearbox can purchased seperately from the motor, the motor seems to be fine.
