Additional Information

Snowblower skid shoe set OEM-784-5580 mounts to both sides of the auger housing, lifting the housing slightly off the ground to prevent scraping and protect the augers from surface damage during use.

If your snowblower drags, scrapes the pavement, or becomes difficult to push, the skid shoes may be worn or uneven and should be replaced. Replacing both shoes at the same time helps maintain balanced operation and consistent clearance.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the old hardware and align the new skid shoes evenly before tightening. Wear work gloves to protect your hands while handling metal parts.

Refer to your models service manual for the proper adjustment height and tightening specifications.
