Additional Information
The snowblower scraper blade, part number 03208159, mounts along the bottom edge of the auger housing and contacts the ground to help remove packed snow and ice. Maintaining proper contact helps the housing ride at the correct height for consistent clearing.
You might see snow left behind on hard surfaces, feel increased vibration at the front of the machine, or notice uneven scraping as you move forward. Rounded edges, visible wear, or bending along the blade can reduce how well it clears snow across its width.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The scraper blade is a solid metal part with sharp edges and mounting hardware along the housing, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Align the blade evenly across the housing and tighten all fasteners securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
