The drive V-belt, manufactured by Craftsman, is used in one- and two-stage snow blowers as well as tillers. This is a drive belt that connects the engine to the auger of the tiller or snowblower via a pulley at either end. This turns the blades of the tiller or the auger blades of the blower to expel snow. As a flexible, hardened rubber part connecting other moving parts, a V-belt is considered “replaceable,” meaning that users should expect to have to replace this part during normal use of the equipment. Signs that a drive V-belt may be going bad are a squealing sound when the blower's auger or the tiller's blades are first engaged, or if the auger is slow to engage and loses power during use. To replace the V-belt, the equipment must be secured and the spark plug caps removed. Tilt the device to reveal the location of the belt. It must detached from the engine pulley and the transmission pulley. When replacing the V-belt, before tightening the pulley, make sure all moving parts are properly aligned. This genuine OEM part is compatible with machines sold by MTD, Yard Man, Craftsman, and Yard Machine.

This is a genuine replacement belt designed to work with multiple types of snowblowers. It is sometimes called a wheel drive belt or a V-belt. The belt is installed on pulleys that allow the transfer of motive power from the engine to the wheels and the auger, allowing the snowblower to move forward, as well as break up and throw snow. These belts are made from high-quality rubber, but they will suffer from wear and tear over time. Through normal use, exposure to extreme temperatures, and over time, the rubber can crack, and eventually, the belt will break. If the snowblower's wheels will not turn, it is most likely that the belt needs to be replaced. Replacing the belt is simple, but will require accessing the pulleys. Remove the old belt and then install the new one according to the owner's manual. Note that this is an OEM replacement part and is sold individually. It is designed for Craftsman and MTD snowblowers, as well as models from Ryobi, Huskee, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, and Troy-Bilt.

This is a simple set of lawnmower ignition keys. They’re also used for an array of riding mowers, lawn tractors, and even snowblowers. To simplify repair and replacement procedures, most manufacturers use standardized keys for all their machines in a given class. As a result, a single key can be used for dozens of machines. The keys are manufactured from stainless steel, with an INDAK logo stamped into the center. Regardless of whether the machine is a walk-behind mower or a full-sized lawn tractor, a keyed ignition is easier to operate than a recoil cord. Similarly, replacing a key is generally straightforward. The exception is if the old key has snapped off in the ignition. In this case, a set of needle-nosed pliers can sometimes be used to extract the key. A powerful magnet can also be helpful if the broken key is being stubborn. In the worst-case scenario, the ignition may need to be replaced. This is an OEM part sourced directly from MTD, and it is sold as a set of two.

The shave plate, also called the scraper bar, is an important but often overlooked part of a snowblower. This thin metal strip sits at the bottom of the auger housing against the ground and gathers the snow the auger will expel through the chute. Made of hard plastic, the shave plate is the only part of the snowblower that actually touches the snow-covered ground without rolling. As durable as the shave plate is manufactured to be, it constantly comes into contact with unseen objects that pound, slice, and pit it. Eventually, the shave blade has to be replaced. To replace the blade, simply invert the blower, unscrew the old blade, attach the new blade, and put the blower right side up again.
