Additional Information

The snowblower auger shaft, part number 1733104A, carries the auger blades and allows them to rotate as the drive system engages. Proper shaft alignment helps the auger pull snow evenly into the housing and toward the impeller.

If the auger wobbles, rotates unevenly, or fails to turn even though the engine is running, the auger shaft may be bent, worn, or misaligned. Noise from the auger area, vibration during operation, or visible play along the shaft can also point to shaft issues.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger shaft installs near sharp auger edges and rotating parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Align the shaft carefully, secure all fasteners, and confirm smooth rotation before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
