Experts agree that snowblower belts typically last from five to seven years, depending on how hard the machine is used each season and the overall conditions. This OEM replacement drive belt is designed to perform to the same standards as factory installed belts. Making the repair is relatively straightforward and requires the removal of the upper belt guard. From there, access to the pulleys is possible and an extension bar along with a ratchet and socket are necessary for the repair. The next steps vary based on model. This belt works with Snapper, Simplicity, Murray, Briggs & Stratton, among other snowblower makes and models. It ships individually.

The auger drive belt is designed to fit select snowblower models. The drive belt attaches to the auger and the drive motor to rotate the auger and turn the snowblower blade.

This is a genuine replacement part from Craftsman that is manufactured to specific standards. It is designed to work with over 150 machines from the brand as well as select machines from Murray. The belt requires a socket set, wrenches, and a clamp to replace. This part also includes a one-year limited warranty from the manufacturer and is tested for premium performance.

This genuine Midwest Engine replacement cotter pin can be used in the small engines of outdoor appliances such as lawn mowers, snowblowers, leaf blowers, lawn tractors, and wood-chippers. A cotter pin is one of many kinds of fasteners; its specific function is to ensure that nuts and bolts remain connected to one another. A cotter pin is particularly effective in small engine appliances that vibrate erratically. Though this vibration can shift nuts and bolts and gradually unscrew them over time, a cotter pin will ensure that the nuts and bolts remain in place.Despite the fact that cotter pins are usually a precautionary measure to prevent nuts and bolts from loosening on their own, cotter pins can be subject to damage themselves in the form of cracks, warping, or erosion. This damage can come from overuse, age, exposure to the elements, or collision with a hard surface. In the case that the cotter pin is no longer holding nuts and bolts in place, a replacement should be ordered immediately. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This cotter pin is compatible with the following brands: Midwest Engine, Snapper, Simplicity, and Murray. Part sold individually.
