This is a genuine OEM replacement auger drive belt for a snowblower. The auger is the part of a snowblower that jostles snow up into the appliance and then out the chute. It rotates thanks to a system of pulleys and belts. This drive belt is one of the belts responsible for transferring rotational motion from one pulley to another. It helps to turn the auger axle. Drive belts are made of a rubber compound that may begin to fray over time and after repeated use. When a drive belt snaps, the auger will stop turning, and the broken belt should be visible. Replacing the belt itself is not too complicated. Getting access to it means that the auger housing must be removed, which will require a set of socket wrenches and a pair of pliers. Before disassembling the auger housing, be sure to detach the drive belt from the upper pulley. This replacement belt is a high-quality part compatible with Murray, Simplicity, and Snapper snowblowers. It comes sourced from the original manufacturer and ships independent of any additional hardware.
