Additional information

This snowblower half pulley, part number 756-04353, is part of the drive belt system and supports a section of the belt path so the belt stays aligned and maintains proper tension as the snowblower runs. It works with other pulleys and idlers to help transfer power effectively from the engine to the auger or drive assemblies.

If the half pulleys groove wears or the pulley becomes damaged, the belt may slip, chatter, or ride improperly in the groove. You might notice reduced performance, belt noise, or uneven snow clearing if the pulley does not guide the belt correctly.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental startup. The pulley and surrounding components can have sharp edges, so wearing work gloves can help protect your hands during installation. Make sure the pulley is fully seated on the shaft and that the belt tracks properly before using the snowblower.
