Estate Skid & Shoe

This is a replacement skid shoe for Craftsman snowblowers. Ideally, when one shoe becomes so worn that it needs to be replaced, the other shoe should be replaced as well. Replacement is not difficult and should only require about half an hour. First, take out the key and disconnect the plug wire to prevent the machine from starting during repair. Remove the carriage bolts, nuts, and washers that hold the skid shoes in place. Replace the skid shoes. Ensure that the adjustable skids shoes are elevated enough that the snow blades will not collide with the ground during use. This will prolong the life of the shave plate. This OEM part fits a variety of different snowblowers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Ryobi, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Montgomery Wards, Bolens, Yard-Man. Sold individually. The carriage bolts that hold the shoe in place may also need to be replaced and are sold separately.

Slide shoes, otherwise known as skid shoes, are attached to a snowblower to help protect the concrete it moves over. The slide shoe also helps to protect the underside of the snowblower. They are composed of metal and are attached to the bottom of the machine. With use, the slide shoes may wear down. They can also become defective from accidents while operating the snow throwing machine. When the slide shoes are not working correctly, there can be irreversible damage done to both the snowblower and the concrete. Replacement slide shoes can easily be attached to the bottom of a snowblower. Be sure to allow the machine to cool down completely. It's recommended to set the snowblower on top of a piece of cardboard. Remove the old shoes and install the new ones, tightening all nuts and washers while the skid shoe is flat on the ground.This is a manufacturer supplied OEM MTD snowblower slide shoe. Each shoe is sold separately. The slide shoe is made of high-quality, durable black steel. It is suggested to replace both shoes simultaneously to ensure an even and consistent path for the MTD snowblower.
