Additional Information

The snowblower auger belt guide, part number 587587202, mounts near the auger pulley to control belt travel as the auger engages and disengages. Keeping the belt properly guided helps maintain consistent auger operation and reduces the chance of the belt jumping off the pulley.

You might notice the auger belt slipping out of place, uneven auger engagement, or sudden loss of auger movement while the engine continues to run. Rubbing noises, visible belt wear, or a belt that tracks inconsistently can also point to a misaligned or damaged belt guide.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The belt guide installs close to rotating pulleys and metal brackets, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Position the guide carefully to maintain proper belt clearance and alignment before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
