Parts for Craftsman C950-52948-0: Auger Housing Parts

The ball bearing is a standard hardware part with multiple applications on various lawn and garden machines. The bearing is typically used in a position where it can reduce friction between two rotating components. This exposes them to constant wear, heat, vibration, friction, and pressure, causing them to wear out and become a part of routine maintenance for many machines. In the event that ball bearings fail, they will typically affect the operation of whatever they are attached to, or they could create squealing noises or other sounds from the machine. A prompt replacement with this genuine ball bearing will prevent the risk of further damage. This genuine OEM replacement part is manufactured by Murray and designed to work with more than 150 snowblowers and tractors from Snapper, Simplicity, and Murray. Buyers should check their owner's manual for the location and application of this ball bearing. This is made of durable metal and sold individually. Those who need several bearings will have to buy multiple quantities. Pliers and a screwdriver are required to complete the repair.

The shear bolt kit provides a special type of bolts used to connect the auger blade to the axle. The bolts are meant to provide protection in the event the blade becomes stuck or hits something hard, such as a chunk of ice. At that time, the force will cause the bolt to snap instead of breaking other parts of the machine what would be expensive to replace. The shear bolts are meant to break under certain conditions. When this happens, the owner will need to order replacements. It is also a good idea to check the condition of the bolts occasionally to ensure they are still in good working order and to replace them if they show signs of wear or potential early breakage. The bolts are easy to replace. These genuine OEM replacement shear bolts are sold in pairs and include nuts and washers. Compatible brands include Craftsman, Husqvarna, Snapper, Simplicity, Poulan Pro, Briggs & Stratton, and Murray. Buyers should be sure they are getting the right bolts for their make and model. They may also want to purchase some additional bolts to have on hand for the future.
