Additional Information

Snowblower skid shoe 731-05984A mounts to the bottom sides of the auger housing, creating a smooth sliding surface that lifts the housing slightly above the ground to prevent damage and uneven wear.

If your snowblower scrapes the ground, vibrates, or becomes difficult to push, the skid shoes may be worn or misaligned and should be replaced. Replacing both skid shoes at the same time helps ensure balanced operation and even wear.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Use an adjustable wrench to remove old mounting bolts and install the new skid shoes securely. Wear work gloves to protect your hands while handling metal parts.

Refer to your models service manual for correct adjustment height and installation steps.
