Additional information

This snowblower sleeve bearing, part number 941-0217, fits over a shaft to provide a low-friction surface so the shaft can rotate smoothly under load. Sleeve bearings help minimize wear and support steady movement of rotating parts in the auger, drive, or other assemblies.

If the sleeve bearing becomes worn, seized, or loose, the shaft it supports may not turn as freely, which can lead to vibration, noise, reduced performance, or uneven wear on surrounding components. You might notice rough rotation or binding in the affected assembly if the bearing needs replacement.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. Bearing and shaft areas can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the bearing is seated correctly and the shaft rotates freely before returning the snowblower to service.

Snowblower sleeve bearing 941-0217 replaces part numbers 741-0217 and 741-0183.
