Additional information

This left-side dogg assembly, part number 618-06988, engages with the drive axle so power transfers to the wheel during forward or reverse operation. Proper engagement helps maintain consistent traction and controlled movement.

If the snowblower loses drive on one side, slips under load, or does not move evenly, the dogg assembly may be worn, damaged, or sticking. Uneven wheel engagement or clicking noises near the axle can also point to a problem.

Before starting the repair, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Support the snowblower securely, install the dogg assembly in the correct orientation, and confirm it moves freely and engages properly before reassembling.
