Additional Information

Snowblower auger drive cable 946-0951A connects the auger control lever on the control panel to the engagement lever in the auger drive system. It transmits force from the handle to engage or disengage the auger during operation.

Replace the cable if it frays, stretches, or breaks, as a worn cable can prevent the auger from engaging or disengaging properly. Check cable routing and tension regularly to maintain reliable auger function and consistent snow-clearing performance.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the damaged cable, route the new one through the proper guides, and secure it to the lever and drive system. Adjust the tension according to your service manual and test the auger engagement. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
