Additional Information
The snowblower engine pulley, part number 722331, mounts on the engine crankshaft and provides the belt contact surface that transfers engine rotation into the snowblowers drive system.
If the snowblower wont move when you engage the drive, the belt keeps slipping, or you hear squealing or rattling near the engine pulley area, the engine pulley may be worn, bent, or no longer holding the belt in the correct path.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The engine pulley sits near rotating parts and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the pulley sits flush, runs true, and the belt tracks correctly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
