Additional Information

This auger shaft, part number 711-04714, holds and rotates the auger blades so the snowblower can break up and move snow through the chute.

If the auger stops turning, shows uneven rotation or the shaft becomes bent or worn, replacing the shaft helps restore proper auger performance and alignment.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Wear work gloves when handling auger components and working around sharp or heavy metal parts.
