Additional information

This snowblower half pulley mounts on the drive shaft and pairs with the matching pulley half to guide and tension the drive belt. Part number 956-0416B plays a direct role in transferring engine power to the auger or drive system during operation.

If the pulley wears, cracks, or becomes warped, the belt may slip, squeal, or fail to track correctly. You may notice loss of drive power, inconsistent auger engagement, or visible belt wear caused by improper pulley alignment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Remove belt tension carefully and make sure the pulley seats fully on the shaft before tightening fasteners.
