Additional Information

Snowblower gearbox housing 918-0123A forms the right side of the gearbox assembly, enclosing the internal gears that drive the auger. The housing protects the gears from dirt, moisture, and impact while maintaining proper gear alignment and lubrication.

If the housing is cracked, leaking lubricant, or damaged, replacing it helps restore gearbox integrity and prevents further wear on the gears. Operating the snowblower with a damaged gearbox housing can lead to reduced auger performance or gear failure.

Before installation, disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Drain any remaining lubricant, remove the gearbox cover, and transfer the gears into the new housing following the service manual instructions. Secure all bolts evenly and wear work gloves to protect your hands while working with metal components.
