Additional Information
The snowblower auger housing assembly, part number 65683, forms the front structure of the snowblower and supports the auger while channeling snow into the chute. It provides the framework that keeps the auger aligned and maintains consistent snow intake across the full width.
You might notice uneven snow intake, reduced throwing distance, or excessive vibration coming from the front of the machine. Damage such as dents, cracking, or misalignment in the housing can interfere with auger rotation and disrupt normal snow flow.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger housing assembly is a large metal component with sharp edges and multiple mounting points, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling and installation. Align the housing carefully and tighten all fasteners evenly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
