Additional Information

The snowblower auger output shaft, part number 1736711, carries rotational force from the drive system to the auger assembly so it spins and pulls snow into the housing. Correct shaft alignment helps maintain smooth auger movement during operation.

If the auger stops turning even though the engine is running, slips under load, or feels uneven or rough during rotation, the auger output shaft may be worn, bent, or misaligned. Unusual vibration, noise from the auger area, or excessive play along the shaft can also indicate shaft issues.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger output shaft installs near moving components and sharp edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the shaft is aligned correctly and rotates smoothly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
