Eskimo 8913 OEM 7/8" Output Shaft for Ice Augers
Restore the heart of your ice auger with the genuine Eskimo 8913 Output Shaft. This original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is engineered to the exact specifications of your Eskimo powerhead, ensuring a perfect fit and a return to factory performance. If your auger bit is wobbling, not engaging properly, or has stopped spinning altogether despite the engine running, a worn or sheared output shaft is a likely cause. Don't let a single broken component end your ice fishing season—get the direct replacement part designed for durability and power.
Product Description
The output shaft is a critical component within your ice auger's transmission assembly. It is responsible for transferring the rotational power from the gearbox directly to the auger flighting, enabling it to cut through the ice. Machined from high-strength, hardened steel, the Eskimo 8913 shaft is built to withstand the immense torque and stress of drilling through thick ice.
This specific shaft features a standard Eskimo 7/8′′ diameter connection point, making it compatible with a wide range of popular Eskimo auger models. As a genuine OEM part, it guarantees seamless integration with your existing gearbox, bearings, and seals, eliminating the guesswork and potential damage associated with aftermarket parts.
