Thanks so much for all the good information. As it turns out, I found a jiffy model 30 with the 3hp Tecumseh engine on Kijiji for a decent price. I'll do my best to get the old one cutting better but it's likely going to be a Christmas gift for a friend who doesn't have a power auger. It'll be a huge step up from his manual one even if it cuts exactly as it was.
