Additional Information
The snowblower auger, left, part number 53207900, includes a Zerk fitting for lubrication and works with the right auger to pull snow into the housing. Proper auger operation helps ensure consistent snow intake and movement toward the impeller.
If snow is not being pulled evenly, you hear grinding or rattling noise from the auger area, or clearing performance drops on the left side, the auger may be worn, bent, or out of alignment. Visible wear on the blades, wobbling rotation, or vibration during use can also point to auger problems.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger has sharp metal edges and mounts near rotating components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the Zerk fitting is accessible for lubrication and that the auger spins smoothly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
