Additional information
This snowblower drive axle assembly includes the drive axle and roll pin used to secure it in place. Part number 532188226 helps transfer rotational force from the drive system to the wheels so the snowblower moves forward and backward as you control it.
If the drive axle bends, wears at the bearing surfaces, or the roll pin loosens, wheel alignment and drive performance can suffer. You may notice uneven movement, difficulty engaging drive, vibration, or the snowblower pulling to one side during use.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Support the snowblower securely when removing wheels and the old axle assembly, and make sure the new axle is aligned properly before installing the roll pin and tightening all fasteners.
