Montgomery Ward 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.

This set of two slide shoes is a genuine OEM replacement parts-set for a snowblower. Slide shoes rest on the bottom of the auger housing and help it to glide smoothly against the ground. This lets the auger gather snow without the housing bumping up and down. Every snowblower has two slide shoes: one on each side of the auger housing. They are positioned so that the center openings face outwards. Slide shoes take a lot of abuse while sliding along the ground. Even though they are made of sturdy steel, they can still be banged and dented to the point that they need replacing. If heavily dented, they may no longer glide smoothly and impede the blower's effectiveness. To replace damaged slide shoes, use a socket wrench to unbolt them from the auger housing. Be sure not to lose the mounting bolts, as they will be used for reassembly. This set of slide shoes is designed to be used with Huskee, MTD, Yard Man, and Yard Machines snowblowers. It comes sourced from its original manufacturer and includes two slide shoes. This set does not include any of the hardware required for assembly.
