Stens 24" Metal Scraper Bar for MTD/Cub Cadet Two-Stage Snowblowers — 24in, 1/8" Thick, 4-Hole

Stens 780-428 is a 24-inch metal scraper bar designed to replace worn OEM scraper blades on MTD/Cub Cadet two-stage snowblowers (1992 and newer).

If your two-stage snowblower is leaving a strip of snow or scraping inconsistently, the scraper bar is often the worn component that needs replacement. This Stens 780-428 scraper bar is a direct-fit aftermarket alternative sized and drilled to match many MTD and Cub Cadet OEM part numbers. It’s made from 1/8" thick metal, measures 24" long and 2 1/4" wide, and includes four mounting holes to align with common mounting patterns.

How will this scraper bar affect snow removal performance?

Replacing a worn scraper bar restores even contact between the blower housing and the driveway, improving scraping and clearing efficiency. The renewed metal edge reduces snow and ice buildup under the auger, helping the machine move material through the impeller more predictably. Proper fitment ensures the bar mounts flat and maintains the intended clearance for safe, effective operation.

• Restores uniform scrape across the full 24" width
• Reduces snow buildup behind the auger and impeller
• Helps maintain consistent clearance to protect the auger housing

Will this part fit my MTD or Cub Cadet snowblower?

The Stens 780-428 is made to replace a range of OEM numbers used by MTD and Cub Cadet for many 24" two-stage models from 1992 to present. However, fitment depends on the specific model and mounting pattern—measure and confirm the hole spacing and part shape against your existing bar before purchase. It does not fit every application, so verifying OEM cross-reference numbers or your machine’s parts diagram is recommended.

• Length: 24 inches; thickness: 1/8 inch; width: 2 1/4 inches
• Four mounting holes matching common OEM patterns
• Replaces many OEM numbers including 753-0625 and 784-5581 variants

What are the material and build details I should know?

This scraper bar is fabricated from metal engineered for abrasion resistance and durability under winter conditions. The 1/8" thickness balances wear life and ease of installation, while the 2 1/4" width provides a stable contact surface along the housing. Though rugged, it’s still a wearable item; inspecting it each season prevents damage to the auger or housing from an overly thin or broken scraper.

• Metal construction for abrasion resistance
• 1/8" thickness for durability and correct clearance
• Four pre-drilled holes for straightforward mounting

How do I install and maintain the replacement scraper bar?

Installation is typically straightforward: lift or tilt the machine to access the scraper area, remove the old bar’s fasteners, align the new bar’s holes, and secure with the correct hardware and torque. Use the same bolt pattern and any spacers or washers the original used to preserve clearance. Regularly inspect the bar for uneven wear, cracks, or bending and replace it at the first sign of significant wear to avoid housing damage.

• Swap using existing fasteners and match hole alignment
• Keep original spacers/washers to retain correct clearance
• Inspect each season for wear, bends, or cracks

Who is this for: This Stens 780-428 scraper bar is for owners and technicians maintaining 24" two-stage MTD or Cub Cadet snowblowers from 1992 onward who need a durable, correctly sized replacement. It’s suited to DIYers comfortable confirming part fitment from diagrams or existing parts, and to service shops that stock common OEM cross-references for quick field replacements. Always verify the part number and hole pattern before installing to ensure proper fit and function.
