Fitment and identification
Everything on this page is written against stock number 203060012 rather than against the category in general. Production year matters more than model name when ordering.
Press rather than hammer where you can, and support the housing. Renew the seal alongside the bearing.
Start with the snow blower repair guide if the fault has not been narrowed down yet. We would far rather answer a question than process a return, so ask before you order if there is any doubt.
What Canadian weather asks of it
Across the prairies the defining condition is dry snow that drifts back across the drive behind you. There is no price advantage in waiting and there is a real availability cost.
Freight across the country slows once the first storms arrive, so autumn is when a spare actually reaches you quickly. Thirty year normals for your own station are published free by Environment and Climate Change Canada.

When to replace it
Watch for these. Catching any of them early is the difference between a part and a repair bill.
- side to side play in a shaft that should turn true
- heat at the housing after a short run
- a shaft that no longer spins freely by hand
- rust staining around the housing
- a belt that keeps failing on one pulley
Ten years is unremarkable on a machine stored indoors. Stock moves quickly once the snow starts, which is the only real argument for ordering early.
The replacement procedure
Take the battery out first on a cordless unit, and pull the plug cap on an engine. A magnetic tray and a bit of discipline turns this into a twenty minute job.
Support the inner race when pressing on, the outer when pressing off. Hold the new component against the old one before fitting. Two minutes there beats stripping it twice.
Impeller injuries remain the most common serious accident with this equipment, and they happen to experienced operators who took one shortcut. The same rule applies whenever the auger housing is open.
Reading the listing
Read the description literally: flange, bushing. Those terms are how this differs from the neighbouring line. A part described as upper is not the lower equivalent, however similar the two look on a bench.
This line is 203060012. That is the level of detail worth checking twice before you click buy.
What else to check
One more inspection now saves an afternoon later in the winter. Look at the seals at every shaft exit before you close it up. Do not close the assembly without checking the linkage rods and their clips. The same visit should cover every pulley and idler, spun by hand.
snow blower parts carries the whole list, searchable by stock number rather than by machine name. the maintenance checklist sets out the seasonal order to work through them in, and the snow blower repair guide covers what to do when one of them turns out to be the real fault.
What a sensible spares box holds
A spares kit for a snow blower is not an elaborate thing. It fits in a shoebox and it costs less than one shop visit. Buy the belt for your specific machine rather than a nearby size, and buy shear pins by the pack rather than singly.
Find them on snow blower parts by stock number, which removes the guesswork entirely. Buying in autumn costs the same as buying in January and arrives considerably faster. Where it sits from April to October matters more than most owners expect.
The common mistake with a snow blower flange bushing is buying on a single headline number. A snow blower flange bushing should be judged on how the whole specification fits together against your driveway, your surface and the way snow arrives where you live.
Two things people ask about a snow blower flange bushing that the specification does not answer. How it behaves in wet snow, and how easy it is to get parts. On a snow blower flange bushing bought here, both are covered above.
Common queries
Should I buy a spare?
If it is a consumable, yes, and buy it in autumn. The parts everybody needs in February are the slowest to arrive in February.
Does fitting this affect my warranty?
Fitting a correct replacement part does not void a manufacturer warranty. Consumables were never covered in the first place.
How do I know this fits my machine?
Order by stock number 203060012. The same model frequently ships with different components across production years, so the stamped number is the only reliable identifier.
Will you check the fitment for me?
Yes. Send the machine model, the serial number and a photograph of the old part through the contact page and we will confirm in writing before anything ships.
What else should I check while it is apart?
Whatever the component touches. Bearings, seals, fasteners and belts are cheap while the assembly is open and expensive once it is closed.
Is a generic equivalent acceptable?
Sometimes, and often not. Pitch, grade, profile and length are all specified. Where a genuine part is unavailable we will say so rather than sell you a guess.
