snow blower crisis
My snow blower's auger clutch cable broke in January. Yikes! Your website was very easy to use to figure out exactly what part I needed to order. I love that all the parts for the snow blower were grouped together to find the parts I needed. Once I got it in mail, installed it, fits perfectly.

Does this fit my product?Questions & Answers for Cable-auger Drive
I had the spring on the end of this cable snap off after only about 10hrs use. Is there a way to just get the spring and replace that? I ordered a new cable elsewhere but cant find just the spring and would like to have extra on hand if possible Thanks!

Remove broken cable and bad belt. You need to remove inspection belt cover, tilt snow blower up and remove skid plate. Remove broken cable and bad belt. Put new belt on then replace broken cable. Put on new cable that engages the clutch and adjust. Put on inspection cover. All Finished went very well and saved me a lot of money doing the repairs my self. Saved a lot of time by not having to send my snow blower in for repair. I am very happy and will always do repairs my self. Thanks

Remove the pulley housing located behind the snow shot, 2- 3/8 bolts, one on each side. snake the cable through the two tension pulley's one on the back and the other one up towards the front of the belts, that one you will have to remove and adjust the pulley so you can snake the cable through. It was so easy anyone can do it. And the cable fit perfect.
