Additional Information

The Craftsman snowblower auger belt, part number 954-04050A, measures 35 inches in length with a .405-inch top width. It drives the auger system by transferring engine power to the auger shaft, enabling efficient snow removal in harsh conditions.

Worn or broken auger belts can cause the auger to stop spinning or reduce snow-clearing performance. If your snowblower isn't throwing snow properly or the auger isn't turning, replacing the auger belt may resolve the issue.

Before installation, shut off the engine and disconnect the spark plug wire. Wear work gloves to protect your hands. Ensure the belt is routed correctly around the auger and drive pulleys to maintain proper tension and performance.
