Additional Information
The snowblower auger assembly, left, part number 1723945A, works with the right auger to pull snow into the housing and toward the impeller for discharge. Proper operation helps maintain even snow intake and smooth clearing across the full width.
If snow is not being pulled evenly, the left side clears less effectively than the right, or you hear grinding or rattling from the auger area during operation, the left auger assembly may be bent, worn, or misaligned. Visible wear on the paddles, wobbling rotation, or vibration can also indicate the assembly is not performing correctly.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger assembly has sharp metal edges and installs near rotating components, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Confirm the auger spins smoothly and the paddles contact snow evenly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
