Additional Information

Snowblower auger drive belt 954-04204 connects the engine pulley to the auger pulley, allowing the auger blades to rotate and discharge snow through the chute. It ensures consistent power transfer for reliable performance during heavy snowfall.

If your snowblower s auger stops turning, slips, or you notice a burning rubber smell, the belt may be worn, stretched, or broken. Replacing it restores efficient auger operation and prevents strain on the drive system.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the belt cover, release tension on the old belt, and install the new belt following your service manual s routing diagram. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
