A snow blower screw is the subject of this page, and the notes below are specific to it.
Snow Blower Parts, Screw(M5*16), Stock #303010108 is a fastener, the specific nut, bolt, screw, washer or clip that holds one part of the machine to another. The thread is M5 by 16 mm, and the next size either way will not do. The stock number is 303010108. It is listed under Parts and Accessories. Everything on this page is written against stock number 303010108 rather than against the category in general.

Where a snow blower screw fits
A snow blower shakes, freezes and thaws all winter. The hardware holding it together is doing more work than it looks like. Hardware is where amateur repairs go wrong. The part costs pennies and the thread it strips costs a housing.
The stock number is 303010108. It is listed under Parts and Accessories. The thread is M5 by 16 mm, and the next size either way will not do. At $2.79 Canadian, this sits where you would expect for the class.

What can go back, in what condition and at whose cost is on returns and refunds. Every machine carries its full manufacturer warranty. The exclusions are on the warranty policy.

Signs it has reached the end
If the machine is doing any of the following, this is the component to examine first.
- a fastener that turns without tightening
- a washer flattened out of shape
- a nylon insert that no longer grips
- a bolt that bottoms out before the joint is clamped
- a joint that will not stay tight through a season
They fail from corrosion and from being reused too often, not from age. Buying in autumn costs the same as buying in January and arrives considerably faster.
Fitting it
Disconnect the spark plug lead before anything else. It costs five seconds and removes the whole category of accident. Lay the fasteners out in the order they came off. Outdoor power equipment uses more thread sizes in one assembly than people expect.
Use a thread locker only where the manual asks for it, and never on a nylon insert nut. A side by side check catches the small dimensional differences that photographs never show.
Clear blockages with the tool, never with a glove, and never with the engine merely idling. The same rule applies whenever the auger housing is open.
Canadian winters and this part
Canada is not one snow market. In Atlantic Canada the pattern is depth, wind and salt air arriving together. October is the quiet month for this. February is not, and freight times show it.
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.

Before you order
Order this one by stock number 303010108 rather than by the name of the machine it came off. Model names persist for years while the components underneath them do not.
Replace plated hardware rather than reusing it once the plating is scratched, because that is where corrosion starts. Check whether the original had a nylon insert, a flange or a shoulder before substituting anything.
Where to find the stamped number on each part is covered in the snow blower repair guide. Send us the machine model, the serial number and a photograph of the old component and we will confirm the fit in writing before anything ships.
Reading the listing
The words that matter in this listing are screw. Each one narrows the fitment. The qualifier at the end of the name is usually the one that decides the fit.
This line is 303010108. Thread size M5 by 16 mm is exact and the adjacent sizes will not thread correctly. Quote it exactly and the right item arrives first time.
What else to check
Since the assembly is open, spend five minutes on what sits next to it. Give the covers and guards for cracks a proper look while access is easy. The same visit should cover the seals at every shaft exit. Do not close the assembly without checking the bearings for play and roughness.
All of it sits on snow blower parts with the profile and length printed on each listing. 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.
Planning ahead for February
The households that never lose a weekend to a breakdown are not lucky. They have a small box on a shelf with four or five cheap items in it. On a cordless machine the list is shorter: a spare pack and a paddle set is genuinely all most owners need.
Those parts live on snow blower parts, and the maintenance checklist says when to check each of them. Stock moves quickly once the snow starts, which is the only real argument for ordering early. Store it off a bare concrete floor. Concrete wicks moisture and rusts steel from the underside where nobody looks.
Before you commit to a snow blower screw, pace the driveway and note the surface. Those two facts settle more of the decision than any review of a snow blower screw ever will.
Where does a snow blower screw sit in the wider range? Somewhere specific, which is the point of listing it separately. A snow blower screw is not interchangeable with the neighbouring options, and the specification above is why.
Common questions
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.
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.
How quickly does it ship?
Stock items leave the same or next business day. Ordering in autumn rather than mid storm is the single biggest factor in how fast it reaches you.
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.
How long should it last?
Salt is what kills them on a machine stored near a road.
How do I know this fits my machine?
Order by stock number 303010108. The same model frequently ships with different components across production years, so the stamped number is the only reliable identifier.
