Additional information

This sprocket, part number 7072459, engages a #35 chain to transmit power through the drivetrain and keep driven components turning at the correct speed. Proper tooth engagement helps maintain smooth, reliable power transfer during operation.

If the snowblower hesitates, loses drive, or makes clicking or grinding noises from the chain area, the sprocket teeth may be worn or damaged. Hooked teeth, uneven wear, or a chain that skips can all point to sprocket issues.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove chain tension before taking off the sprocket, then install the new sprocket securely and confirm proper chain alignment and tension before use.
