Additional Information

The snowblower lower belt finger, part number 03236300, helps control belt position as the drive system engages and disengages. Proper placement keeps the belt tracking correctly and reduces the chance of the belt jumping out of alignment.

You might notice the belt slipping off the pulley, rubbing against nearby components, or engaging inconsistently during operation. Excessive belt movement, unusual noise, or visible bending of the belt finger can also affect belt control.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The belt finger installs close to rotating pulleys and belt components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Position the finger correctly and confirm proper belt clearance and alignment before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
