Additional Information
The Agri-Fab lawn tractor snowblower attachment tensioning chain (part number 46963) connects to the belt idler pulley to maintain proper tension on the drive belt. If the chain is worn, stretched, or broken, the belt can slip or come loose, causing poor snowblower performance, belt squealing, or complete loss of drive to the auger.
Replacing a damaged tensioning chain restores correct belt tension, allowing the snowblower attachment to operate efficiently and clear snow without interruption. A properly tensioned belt also reduces wear on pulleys and other drivetrain components.
To install, turn off the lawn tractor, remove the key, and wait for all moving parts to stop. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Use a wrench set to detach the old chain from the idler pulley and attachment point, then secure the new chain in the same locations. Check that the belt sits snugly but moves freely before resuming operation.
