Additional Information
The snowblower scraper blade, part number 790-00731-0691, mounts to the bottom of the auger housing and makes contact with the ground to help remove packed snow and ice. It supports consistent clearing by maintaining proper contact between the housing and the surface.
You might notice uneven scraping, snow left behind on hard surfaces, or increased vibration at the front of the machine. Excessive wear, rounded edges, or visible bending can reduce how effectively the blade clears snow.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The scraper blade is a heavy metal part with sharp edges, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Align the blade evenly across the housing and tighten all fasteners securely before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
Scraper blade 790-00731-0691 replaces part numbers 790-00731-4033 and 790-00731-0606.
