Additional Information

Snowblower auger shaft 711-06145 transfers rotational power from the gearbox to the auger blades, allowing them to collect and discharge snow efficiently. The shaft helps maintain balanced auger movement for consistent clearing performance.

If the auger stops turning, vibrates excessively, or shows signs of misalignment, the auger shaft may be worn, bent, or damaged and should be replaced. Installing a new shaft restores smooth operation and ensures effective snow removal.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the auger assembly, replace the old shaft, and secure the new one in place according to your models specifications. Reassemble all components and check for proper auger rotation. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
