Additional Information
The snowblower top cover assembly, part number 7058013, provides a protective shield over the engine and internal components. It helps keep snow, ice, and debris out of sensitive areas while allowing access for maintenance and operation. This assembly includes the eyelet, part number 24636, as part of its mounting or attachment features.
If you notice debris entering the engine area, unusual noise from loose covers, or the top cover rattling during operation, the top cover assembly may be loose, damaged, or misaligned. Parts that no longer sit flush or gaps along the cover edges can also signal issues with how the assembly is mounted.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The top cover assembly installs near the engine and metal edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Secure the cover evenly and tighten all fasteners firmly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
