• Shear pin. The shear pin is a fastener bolt that connects the auger to the rotating drive shaft. The shear bolt is made of soft metal that purposely shears off or breaks to protect the transmission and motor when a foreign object or hard-packed snow binds the augers.
• Skid shoes. The skid shoes are two spacers that attach to each side of the auger housing and slide along the ground so the snowblower moves smoothly. They also elevate the auger housing so it clears the ground, protecting it from damage.
• Scraper blade. The scraper blade is plate that runs along the bottom of the auger housing. It protects the auger housing and scrapes up snow the augers leave behind.
• Auger assembly. The auger assembly consists of rotating blades that collect snow and throw it out of the auger housing and through the chute.
