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.

This genuine MTD shave plate, also known as a scraper bar, can be used as a replacement part for snowblowers. The shave plate is located at the bottom of the auger to scrape snow off of surfaces and filter it into the auger of the snowblower.Damage to the shave plate might include cracks, dents, and erosion to the metal material, or it can gradually wear out and no longer be effective. Evidence of a cracked shave plate can come from a visual inspection, but it can also be detected if the snowblower is doing a poor job of collecting and scraping snow off of surfaces. A cracked shave plate should be removed and replaced immediately, and a snowblower should not be used before the part is replaced. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment. This shave plate is compatible with the following brands: MTD, Yard Machines, Cub Cadet, Yard Man, and Craftsman. Part sold individually.

This is a genuine replacement belt designed to work with multiple types of snowblowers. It is sometimes called a wheel drive belt or a V-belt. The belt is installed on pulleys that allow the transfer of motive power from the engine to the wheels and the auger, allowing the snowblower to move forward, as well as break up and throw snow. These belts are made from high-quality rubber, but they will suffer from wear and tear over time. Through normal use, exposure to extreme temperatures, and over time, the rubber can crack, and eventually, the belt will break. If the snowblower's wheels will not turn, it is most likely that the belt needs to be replaced. Replacing the belt is simple, but will require accessing the pulleys. Remove the old belt and then install the new one according to the owner's manual. Note that this is an OEM replacement part and is sold individually. It is designed for Craftsman and MTD snowblowers, as well as models from Ryobi, Huskee, Cub Cadet, Yard Machines, Yard-Man, and Troy-Bilt.

This part is a spark plug that is used on a number of lawn and garden power equipment. A spark plug is used as part of an internal combustion engine. The spark plug delivers the electric current from the ignition system to the engine.A new spark plug may be needed after normal wear and tear over a period of time. The operator of the outdoor power equipment may notice that the engine misfires or it is difficult to start. If this is the case, a new spark plug will be needed. Never perform care and maintenance on outdoor power equipment that is powered on. Remember to wear gloves when operating or performing care and maintenance on any outdoor power equipment.This spark plug is a genuine MTD part. It is sold individually. This particular spark plug is compatible with various outdoor power equipment that are manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Bolens, Yard-Man, and Cub Cadet.

This replacement is a friction wheel assembly that is designed to work with a snow blower. The friction wheel engages the friction disc assembly to assist in the forward and rearward travel movement of the snowblower. If the friction wheel becomes worn or damaged, the snowblower moves slowly or erratically. Prior to the start of this project, ensure all appropriate personal protective equipment is worn. This would include work gloves and eye protection. To replace this part, first disconnect the spark plug wire. Then, remove the frame cover and wheels. Next, remove the hex shaft mounting nut and the friction disc. Clean the shaft and install the new friction disc. Reinstall the wheels and the frame panel. Reconnect the spark plug and test the snowblower. The snowblower is now ready for use.To clean the friction wheel assembly, remove the cover of the snowblower to expose the friction wheel. With all PPE donned, take a cloth with a small amount of gas saturated on it and place it over the friction wheel. Spin the wheels to engage the friction wheel. The gas saturated cloth will work by cleansing the grease off the friction wheel. Once there is no more grease coming off the friction wheel, take a dry cloth and repeat the steps to dry the friction wheel assembly. Replace the frame cover and the snowblower is ready for use. The friction wheel assembly is manufactured and compatible with MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, Noma, Murray, Ariens, Husqvarna, Snapper and Yard Man snowblowers. This is a genuine OEM part sourced directly from the manufacturer and it is sold individually.

This part is a replacement friction wheel assembly. It is intended to replace a defective or broken friction wheel assembly in snow blowers.The friction wheel works with the friction disc to turn the drive wheel axle. This part is essential to proper equipment functionality but may be damaged with regular equipment usage. Before beginning this repair job, disconnect spark plug. Wear work gloves to protect the hands and check that equipment is powered off and cooled down before beginning. This friction wheel assembly is a genuine MTD OEM part made of durable materials and is sold individually. It is suitable for use with snow blower models that have been manufactured by MTD, Craftsman, Troy-Bilt, and some other brands.

The shear pin’s purpose is to stop the engine when it is broken. If the machinery hits something hard, the shear pin will break. This prevents injuries that could be fatal. If something large or small becomes clogged or jammed in the auger, the shear pin is meant to snap in half, rendering the auger useless. This happens once the auger reaches a certain point in pressure load, which also prevents damage to the rest of your equipment. The auger part of your machinery cannot turn without a shear pin. Since the purpose of the shear pin is to break on impact, it's a good idea to have several of these on hand for quick replacements. There’s nothing like having your equipment break down in the middle of a job. Repair is simple. Just remove the broken shear pin, line up the auger’s holes, and insert your new shear pin. Use the cotter pin to secure your shear pin. This genuine OEM auger shear pin works in conjunction with small engine equipment with augers made by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, MTD, Troy-Built, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. This part is sold individually. Consider also ordering an MTD Pin-Bow Tie Cotter or retaining clip.

A cotter pin, also known as a hitch pin, is used to secure pins and shafts in place. Meant for snowblowers, riding lawnmowers, and lawn tractors, this bow-tie shaped cotter pin has a double-end design making it easy to pull or push through either side of a pre-drilled hole. This pin snaps into a locked position without tension, keeping it secure during operation. Designed for lawn and garden maintenance equipment, this part ensures secure fastening. If the power equipment is used frequently, cotter pins may have to be replaced regularly so it would be practical to keep extra bow tie cotter pins on hand. It is highly recommended that work gloves be worn during the installation of this part. This part is compatible with Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Troy-Bilt, Murray, Yard Machines, MTD, Huskee, Bolens, Yard-Man, and MasterCut brands of lawn mower, snowblower, and log splitters. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.
