Additional Information

The snowblower reduction shaft 580752401 engages with the chain to deliver power from the drivetrain to the axle shaft, allowing the wheels or tracks to move the machine.

If the shaft wears down, bends or no longer meshes smoothly with the chain, you might notice slipping, jerky movement or a loss of drive power when pushing through heavy snow.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves because the drivetrain area contains sharp metal edges, and refer to your service manual if you need help aligning the chain and shaft.
