Additional Information
The snowblower wheel assembly, part number 07160000, includes the wheel and tire as a complete unit. Proper wheel condition helps maintain stability, traction, and smooth movement while operating the snowblower.
If the snowblower pulls to one side, feels unstable while driving, or a tire will not hold air, the wheel assembly may be worn or damaged. Cracks in the tire, uneven tread wear, or a bent wheel can also affect handling and traction.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The wheel assembly is heavy and installs near moving drive components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during handling. Make sure the wheel is secured firmly and rotates freely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
