Additional Information
The snowblower auger housing assembly, part number 684-05165-0691, forms the front structure of the snowblower and supports the auger components while channeling snow into the chute. The housing assembly also provides mounting points that keep the auger system aligned during operation.
You might notice uneven snow intake, excessive vibration from the front of the machine, or reduced throwing performance across the full clearing width. Visible damage such as dents, cracks, or misalignment can also affect how snow moves through the housing.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger housing assembly is a large metal component with sharp edges and multiple mounting points, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling and installation. Align the housing carefully and tighten all fasteners evenly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
