What parts come in the kit and how do they help?

The kit supplies everything needed to swap out worn skid assemblies and replace broken fasteners so your snow blower runs smoothly through the season. Included components are selected to make installation straightforward and to restore both clearance control and auger protection.

• 2 roller skid shoes and 2 nylon wheels to adjust scraping height and reduce friction.
• 4 bolts with nuts and washers for secure mounting and vibration resistance.
• 10 shear pins and cotter pins so you can replace broken fasteners during installation or future maintenance.

How do these skid shoes protect surfaces and the machine?

The skid shoes lift and guide the snow blower housing slightly above the ground so the auger clears snow without repeatedly scraping hard surfaces. The rolling wheels further minimize abrasion and scuffing while preserving the auger edge.

• Polyurethane sliding shoes resist abrasion and cold temperatures to limit driveway and sidewalk damage.
• Nylon wheels roll to reduce friction and help the blower track straight along surfaces.
• Shear pins protect drivetrain components by failing under sudden jams, preventing costly internal damage.

Is installation difficult and what should I prepare?

Installation is a straightforward maintenance job for most homeowners familiar with basic hand tools. The kit contains the bolts, washers and nuts required; keep a wrench set, socket, and a hammer or mallet handy and follow your snow blower’s manual torque specs if available.

• Basic tools required: socket or wrench set, pliers for cotter pins, and a jack or blocks for safe access.
• Replace both sides at once for even wear and reliable handling in winter conditions.
• Use supplied shear pins matched to your auger holes to restore designed safety protection.
