This V-belt is designed for use in snowblowers by several major manufacturers. It is used to rotate the blades in the blower and acts as the primary belt for the device. These belts are made of a rubber material, which means they can sometimes stretch out, break, or wear down. If this occurs, the V-belt needs to be replaced to ensure the snowblower continues to work at its best.The more frequently a snowblower is used, the more likely it is that a replacement V-belt will be needed. In some cases, a V-belt can wear out more quickly than expected due to faults like mechanical failures. When the belt is overly worn, it can cause the snowblower to act sluggishly since the belt can slip off of the pulley. If the belt breaks, the snowblower will no longer be able to operate. When replacing the belt, drain the fuel and remove the spark plug for a safe repair.This V-belt is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sourced directly from the manufacturer.

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.

The snowblower auger cable initiates operation of the snowblower’s auger similar to the cable on the handle of a push mower. To start the snowblower, the control handle must be squeezed. This engages the snowblower auger cable to allow the auger to begin turning. When the snowblower auger cable is broken, the snowblower cannot work because the auger will not turn. The length of this snowblower auger cable is 47.48 inches. It is made from high-quality rubber insulation of a metal wire. A pair of pliers and a wrench are needed to complete the repair. If the snowblower still does not work after replacing the snowblower auger cable, check the shear pin as these are prone to breaking and will also prevent the auger from turning. This genuine OEM snowblower auger cable is compatible with snowblowers manufactured by Craftsman, Cub Cadet, Husky, MTD, Troy-Bilt, Yard Machines, and Yard-Man. This part is sold individually. You will need to order any hardware, housing, and the trigger separately if these items also need repair or replacement.

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.
