Additional Information
Skid shoe 784-5697-0637 mounts to the sides of the auger housing to help your snowblower glide over the ground. It keeps the auger housing elevated, preventing it from scraping uneven pavement or gravel and reducing wear on your equipment. If your snowblower drags or leaves scrape marks, worn skid shoes may be the cause.
This part is designed for quick replacement using standard hand tools. Always disconnect the spark plug wire and allow the engine to cool before starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during removal and installation. For best results and even wear, replace both skid shoes at the same time.
