Additional Information
The MTD Snowblower Scraper Blade, part number 731-1033, attaches to the bottom of the auger housing to prevent the augers and housing from scraping against the ground. A properly functioning scraper blade ensures even snow removal and protects critical components from damage.
If your snowblower leaves snow behind or the housing shows signs of wear, the scraper blade may be worn or cracked. Replacing it helps restore performance and prevents further damage to the auger system.
During installation, wear work gloves and make sure the snowblower is turned off and cool. Use a screwdriver and socket set to remove the old blade and secure the new one, tightening all fasteners according to your owner s manual and/or service manual.
