Additional Information

Snowblower skid shoe 731-06007 mounts next to the auger housing, allowing the snowblower to glide over various surfaces while preventing direct contact between the auger housing and the ground. This helps reduce wear and prevents damage to both the auger housing and auger blades.

If your snowblower drags or the auger housing scrapes the surface, the skid shoes may be worn and should be replaced. Replacing both at the same time ensures even clearance and consistent performance across the housing.

Before replacing the skid shoes, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Loosen and remove the mounting hardware, install the new skid shoes, and adjust the height as recommended in your service manual. Tighten securely and wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
