Additional Information

The snowblower flat washer, part number 723979, sits under a bolt or nut to spread clamping force over a wider area. This helps prevent damage to surfaces and supports a secure, even connection between components.

If fasteners loosen frequently, surfaces show indentations or wear around connections, or components shift under load, a missing or worn flat washer may be reducing load distribution. Hardware that will not stay tight or uneven pressure at a joint can also point to washer issues.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The flat washer installs near metal edges and fasteners, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the washer sits flat against the surface and that the fastener is tightened securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
