    the right auger on Murray 624804x79 spins freely
    The right auger on my snowblower spins freely. The left side works fine. Is this an easy enough fix? Manuals available? Are there repair guides that I could look at?

    Look for a broken shear pin on the right auger. Shear pin is just a soft metal pin that goes through the auger and the drive shaft. Designed to break before the damage to auger or drive shaft in case a rock gets caught in auger. Easily replaced.
