Looking for advice for troubleshooting my Pro-cut KG-12 FS meat grinder. The grinder has worked great since purchasing 4 years ago until a bullet managed to slip through in the moose meat this weekend. The result was not good with the grinder when it lodged in the knife blade stopping the auger. Cleaned everything out and reassembled, but the damage was done. Now the motor will run, but the auger won’t spin unless I remove all pressure from the end plate. Looking for repair advise from anyone with experience with fixing this issue on a pro-cut grinder. Thanks!

We bought the grinder from Waltons right before we moved up from Kansas. I will tear into the gear box and give your parts/service a call to see if they can help me out with the specific parts. If shipping to Alaska is an issue I’ll just have my family stop by Waltons to pick it up and mail it to me. Thank you!!

I was “hoping” to see wear on the teeth at the back of the auger but it looks clean. I’d guess you are correct and a gear is stripped. Where are located? 4 years will be outside warranty unfortunately but hopefully we can assist in parts at least.

More than enough surface area remaining to push the meat through. I strongly believe that it is a drive gear, so tear the band-aid off. As Jonathon said, replacement parts for this grinder are readily available. It would be a good time to change the gear lube while you are doing so, It is the best way to insure there are no metal particals left in the drive train.

I am concerned that it may be the gears, but I have to get into the gear box to see so I am definitely interested in any other possibility before opening the gear box casing.

I’d say get out the screw driver and start taking pictures as you disassemble it. Allot of my reading pointed toward a worm gear, but that turned out to not be the issue.

I am specifically interested to see if there is any damage to the grooves and ridges back there that allows the motor to spin the auger. If there isn’t something easy like that then it is probably something with the motor or gear system. We do have a parts and service department and if you call 800-835-2832 and explain your problem they might be able to have our parts guys see what can be ordered to fix it. Worth a shot for sure.
