Additional Information
The snowblower fuel tank bracket, part number 1740031E701, holds the fuel tank securely against the snowblower frame so the tank stays in place during operation. Stable mounting helps prevent fuel line strain and supports consistent fuel delivery to the engine.
If the fuel tank shifts during operation, vibrates excessively, or you hear rattling near the tank area, the fuel tank bracket may be loose, bent, or worn. Visible gaps between the tank and frame, or straps that no longer hold securely, can also indicate bracket issues.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The fuel tank bracket installs near fuel lines and metal tubing, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the bracket holds the tank firmly and that fuel lines are routed without strain before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
