Additional information

This snowblower wheel axle, part number 738-1164A, holds the wheel in place and provides a stable surface for smooth rotation as the machine moves across snow and ice. It installs through the wheel hub and connects to the drive or support assembly, helping keep the snowblower tracking straight and rolling evenly.

When a wheel axle bends, wears, or breaks, the snowblower may pull to one side, the wheel may wobble, or the wheel may not spin freely. You might also notice uneven tire wear or difficulty keeping the machine aligned during operation.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. If the axle shows sharp edges or corrosion, wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the axle is fully seated and secured before reinstalling the wheel.
