Additional Information

Snowblower drift cutter 790-00181-0691 installs along the upper sides of the auger housing to help the snowblower tackle deep or wind-packed snow. The cutters slice through tall drifts and guide snow into the auger for consistent clearing and reduced clogging.

If your snowblower struggles with deep snow or leaves uncut ridges, installing drift cutters improves efficiency and helps maintain a clean, even clearing path. They are especially useful for areas that experience heavy accumulation or wind-blown snowbanks.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Align each drift cutter with the mounting holes on the auger housing, secure them with the provided hardware, and tighten the bolts evenly. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
