Worm gear

Friend gave me a 08 mtd snow blower. 5.5hp, 24". Bad auger. Turns out the brass worm gear was destroyed. The drive gear looks fine. I cleaned out auger housing but found almost no brass bits. Does the auger just grind up the teeth as it wears? I was expecting some teeth chunks but found only 1 piece.
