Hello
I came across this forum while searching the internet for info. on Altas Snowblowers. I have a 5 hp (Briggs) Atlas snowblower. The motor runs great. The auger clutch appears to be slipping under heavy snow load.
I guess the company went out of business in the 80s. I saw some previous posts discussing my issue. I'm hoping someone will know where I can get an owner's manual (or just the pages that discuss the auger clutch), and if anyone had any luck finding parts.
The plastic guard that covers the chain that drives the auger indicates to oil the clutch every 5 hours. Does anyone know exactly where to oil it?
Thanks.

mIght help if you include a model number for the machine (not the engine; the Atlas part).
