Additional information
This auger, part number 7047025, rotates at the front of the snowblower to break up snow and move it toward the impeller for discharge. Proper auger operation helps maintain steady snow intake and consistent throwing performance.
If the snowblower does not pull snow in effectively, leaves snow behind, or makes unusual noises from the front housing, the auger may be bent, worn, or damaged. Reduced clearing performance or visible damage to the blades can also signal a problem.
Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Auger edges can be sharp; wear work gloves and support the auger securely during removal and installation to avoid injury.
