If you're positive the rotors aren't bent or anything like that, and it's just the bearing plate and snout, I'll take it to my uncle's machine shop and see about macining new pieces. Basically, I'd like to take possession of the blower and get'r done one way or another.
I'll get the blower over to my shop this week. I'll call you when I have it there. I need to find a container to put it in so I don't get gear oil all over the place.

I'm pretty sure the rotors are OK. The gears need a little work and the shaft looks like it's OK, but that is just a visual inspection. Again, I would recommend finding the parts first. The price quoted by PSE seemed steep to me. I had that blower rebuilt with new bearings and seals for $350 a couple of years ago. This is the place that did it for me.

HP numbers are good and all, but they are like asking someone how much they can bench. What difference does it make if I can still kick your ass?
