Additional Information

Snowblower skid shoe 532435951 attaches to the lower sides of the auger housing to raise the scraper bar slightly off the ground, preventing scraping or damage on rough surfaces. It also helps maintain consistent snow-clearing height and improves handling on uneven terrain.

Replace the skid shoes if they are worn thin, uneven, or causing the snowblower to drag or leave snow behind. Installing new skid shoes improves performance, reduces housing wear, and ensures even operation on pavement, gravel, or packed snow.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old skid shoe, align the replacement with the mounting slots, and fasten it securely. Replace both skid shoes at the same time for balanced performance. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
