Additional Information

The snowblower cupped washer, part number 1734542, sits under a fastener to help distribute clamping force and accommodate slight surface irregularities. The shaped contact surface helps maintain a secure connection between components.

If fasteners loosen over time, components shift slightly during use, or you notice wear around mounting points, a worn or missing cupped washer may be reducing how evenly load is distributed. Hardware that will not stay tight can also signal contact surface issues.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The washer installs near metal edges and moving parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Place the washer correctly and tighten the fastener securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
