Additional Information
The MTD snowblower auger assembly (part number 984-04253-0637) replaces part numbers 684-04228, 684-04253, and 984-04253-06374. The auger s rotating blades scoop up snow and push it through the housing to the chute for discharge. If the auger is bent, worn, or damaged, you may notice your snowblower not throwing snow as far or leaving snow behind.
Common signs this part needs replacement include poor snow clearing, slow snow discharge, or the auger not turning smoothly. Replacing the auger restores efficient snow removal and helps prevent extra strain on the snowblower s drive system.
To install, shut off the snowblower and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges. Use an adjustable wrench to remove the old auger and secure the new one in place. Proper installation helps keep your snowblower ready for heavy winter use.
