Additional information

This spacer, part number 731-05162, fits between components to maintain proper clearance and alignment during snowblower operation. Correct spacing helps prevent binding, uneven wear, and excess movement at the mounting point.

If parts rub against each other, wobble, or show uneven wear, a worn, damaged, or missing spacer may be the cause. Deformation or excessive play around the fastener can also indicate spacing issues.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Place the spacer in the correct position between components, then tighten fasteners evenly so parts remain aligned and secure.
