Additional Information

The snowblower bottom cover, part number 1740004, attaches to the underside of the snowblower to help protect moving and stationary components from debris and moisture during operation. Maintaining this cover helps keep internals cleaner and shields parts from impact with objects on the ground.

If you notice debris accumulating under the unit, components exposed to snow and ice, or unusual noise from the underside, the bottom cover may be missing, bent, or damaged. Scratches, cracks, or fasteners that no longer hold securely can also reduce the protection it provides.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The bottom cover installs near metal edges and moving parts, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Align the cover evenly and secure all fasteners firmly before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
