Additional Information
The snowblower push nut, part number 720384, slides onto a shaft or stud and grips securely as it is pushed into place. This style of nut helps hold components where threaded fasteners arent used or accessible.
If parts loosen, shift during operation, or you hear rattling near connections where a push nut is installed, the push nut may be worn, bent, or no longer gripping the shaft securely. Visible gaps or components sliding along the shaft can also indicate nut wear.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Installing or removing a push nut involves gripping and seating it on a shaft, so work gloves can help protect your hands during the process. Make sure the push nut is fully seated and holding the component firmly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
