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.

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.
