Additional Information
Snowblower skid shoe 784-5580-0637 mounts next to the auger housing to lift the housing slightly off the ground, allowing the snowblower to glide smoothly while protecting the auger and housing from wear.
If your snowblower scrapes unevenly, leaves marks on paved surfaces, or drags during use, the skid shoe may be worn or damaged and should be replaced. For even performance, replace both skid shoes at the same time.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Use hand tools to remove the existing hardware, align the new skid shoe, and tighten securely. Wear work gloves to protect your hands when handling metal components.
Refer to your models service manual for installation details and adjustment height.
