Additional Information

Snowblower skid shoe 731-06439 mounts along the auger housing to lift it slightly off the ground, protecting the housing and augers from wear while helping the snowblower glide smoothly across surfaces.

If your snowblower scrapes pavement, leaves uneven marks, or becomes difficult to maneuver, the skid shoes may be worn and should be replaced. Installing a new pair helps maintain balance and prevents uneven wear on the housing.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Use proper hand tools to remove the old hardware, align the new skid shoes evenly, and tighten securely. Wear work gloves to protect your hands when handling metal parts.

Refer to your models service manual for adjustment height and installation guidance.
