Snowblower Parts and Accessories

Snowblower parts & accessories for high hp, self-propelled, heavy-duty, industrial machine - OR low hp, light-duty, easy-to-maneuver snow thrower.

It's a blizzard. The white stuff is piling up. Your snow blower or snow thrower performs poorly. Just to get the snowblower parts or accessories you need, you have to dig yourself out by shovel. Uh-oh! No one wants to be stuck like that. Whether you have a high horsepower, self-propelled, heavy-duty industrial snow thrower with hydrostatic drive … or a small-engine, low hp, light-duty, easy-to-maneuver snowblowing machine, worn parts can be a real performance problem.

You may prefer to get brand-name replacement parts factory-direct. If so, check your manual for the part number you need for your model, and you can use the manufacturer's online database to do a lookup for parts and availability. Major snowblower manufacturers:

Some more detailed information on the snowblower parts or accessories that users most commonly keep in stock:

Snowblower Auger Belt

When your snowblower auger no longer rotates, there's a good chance you broke the auger belt. But there can be other causes too:

• shear bolt sheared due to an obstruction jamming up the augers
• loose auger belt
• frozen auger system
• sheared pulley key
• busted auger worm gear

Always consult your snowblower manual to properly diagnose why your auger isn't turning. A snowblower auger belt generally runs $20-$25. Again, always check your manual for the correct replacement auger belt for your snowblower model number.

Snowblower Tire Chains

Snowblower tire chains are invaluable for those times when you can't get proper traction. You can get 2 link spacing tire chains, which have 2 links between the cross chains, to get better tracking than 4 link chain spacings, but the difference isn't extreme. A pair of snowblower tire chains will cost about $30 and upwards. Zinc-plated tire chains help prevent corrosion.

Snowblower Shear Pins

The purpose of the shear pin is to give a breakage point before the auger breaks. Shear pins typically cost around $2 and are often sold in packages of 10. This is a great part to have on hand, so if you are ordering any other snowblower part, it's worth throwing a pack of these in with the shipment.

Snowblower Slide Shoe:

This snowblower side shoe provides a wear point instead of the metal of your snowblower. Slide shoes wear down, so check their condition before the snow season. While you can purchase a single snowblower slide shoe, it's always best to purchase a pair and replace both at the same time. A slide shoe costs approximately $7-$15.

Snowblower Scraper Bar

Another piece of equipment that's made to be replaced. It provides the front contact point between the ground and snowblower entrance. It will wear down or get dented with usage. These can be replaced easily, and you can expect a scraper bar for most snowblowers to run $15-25.

We recommend you crank up your snowblower right now, to be certain it's ready. If wait until there’s 6 inches of snow on the ground and then you discover a problem, your options are limited. Your best preparation is to always have the most-needed spare parts on hand.
