Additional Information
The snowblower auger, right, part number 53207800, includes a Zerk fitting for lubrication and works with the left auger to gather snow and move it toward the impeller system. A properly functioning auger helps keep snow intake consistent across the full clearing width.
If snow is not being pulled evenly, you see reduced clearing on the right side, or hear unusual noise from the auger area while in use, the right auger may be worn or bent. Visible wear, uneven rotation, or vibration during operation can also point to issues with the auger.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The auger has sharp metal edges and mounts near rotating parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Make sure the Zerk fitting is accessible for lubrication and that the auger spins smoothly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
