Additional Information
Snowblower skid shoe 84003710 attaches to the lower sides of the auger housing, creating a smooth sliding surface that prevents the housing from scraping against pavement or uneven ground. It helps maintain the correct height for the scraper bar and auger, ensuring even snow removal and reduced wear.
Replace the skid shoes if they are worn thin, uneven, or causing the snowblower to drag or leave snow behind. Installing new skid shoes helps maintain balanced performance and prevents housing damage during operation on rough or paved surfaces.
Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Remove the mounting hardware securing the old skid shoe, align the new one with the housing slots, and tighten the bolts evenly. For best results, replace both skid shoes at the same time. Wear work gloves to protect your hands during installation.
