The snowblower shift rod assembly 707817 links the speed control lever to the transmission so you can move the snowblower into different forward and reverse speeds.

If you notice difficulty shifting, unresponsive speed changes, excessive play in the controls or misalignment in the linkage, the shift rod assembly may be worn or damaged.
