Additional information

This snowblower shave plate kit, part number 753-0451, includes the shave plate and necessary hardware to install it on a 21-inch MTD snowblower. The shave plate mounts at the bottom front of the snowblower housing and provides a wear surface that contacts the ground as the machine moves, helping you clear snow evenly and protect the housing.

As the shave plate wears down from contact with pavement, gravel, or frozen ground, you may notice uneven snow removal, increased vibration, or metal-to-surface contact that can damage the housing. Replacing the shave plate before it wears completely helps maintain smooth operation and prevents scoring of other parts.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. The shave plate and included hardware can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure all fasteners are tightened securely and the plate sits flat before using the snowblower.
