Additional Information
The snowblower impeller hub, part number 50202100, secures the impeller to the drive shaft so rotational force from the engine transfers through the drive system. Proper hub engagement helps ensure the impeller spins consistently and moves snow effectively through the chute.
If snow discharge is reduced, the impeller slips under load, or it stops turning even though the engine is running, the impeller hub may be worn, loose, or damaged. Excessive play at the hub connection or uneven rotation can also point to hub issues.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The impeller hub installs near rotating components and sharp metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Confirm the hub fits snugly on the shaft and spins smoothly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
