Mtd Gold Lawn Mower 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 genuine MTD slide shoe leaves a sliver of snow between the snowblower and the surface in order to prevent damage to the surface it is being used on. Snowblower slide shoes can also prevent dirt, debris, gravel, and pebbles from flying out of and around the snowblower's radius of work. Slide shoes for snowblowers might suffer damage as a result of age, overuse, exposure to the elements, or direct collision or impact. If this affects the ability of the slide shoes to protect surfaces from damage when the snowblower is in use, the slide shoes should be removed and replaced before using the snowblower again. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This slide shoe is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Craftsman, and Troy-Bilt. Part sold individually.
