Specification and price

What it fits

We list this as 303160308 precisely because near identical parts are not interchangeable. A part that fitted a machine built in one year may not fit the same model built in the next.

Grease the pivots lightly rather than heavily, because heavy grease collects grit. Check every position through its full travel after adjustment.

the snow blower repair guide shows where the manufacturer stock number is stamped on each common component. Fitment questions get answered the same business day, which is faster than a wrong part takes to arrive.

Installing the replacement

Take the battery out first on a cordless unit, and pull the plug cap on an engine. Note where the longer bolts came from. They are rarely interchangeable with the short ones.

Replace the retaining clips and pins at the same time. They are pennies and they are what wears. Check the replacement against what came off before you commit to the build.

A stopped auger is not a safe auger. Energy stored in the impeller releases the moment the packed snow shifts. The same rule applies whenever the auger housing is open.

How to tell it needs changing

These are the signs that come up again and again on this part.

• a linkage that has visibly bent
• a missing or distorted retaining clip
• a control that will not return fully to rest
• a control with noticeable free movement before it acts
• a rattle at idle that disappears under load

Long. What fails is the bushings and clips around them. October is the quiet month for this. February is not, and freight times show it.

What else to check

The second strip down is the expensive one, so look at the neighbours now. Now is the moment to inspect the bearings for play and roughness. Have a look at the return springs at each lever too. It is worth a minute on the fasteners you have just disturbed.
