Specification

The figure is $13.94, quoted the way every price on this site is quoted, in Canadian dollars. October is the quiet month for this. February is not, and freight times show it.

Fitting it

A pulled plug lead is the difference between a repair and an incident report. Photograph each stage as you go. It takes seconds and saves an hour at reassembly.

Fit dry unless the manual specifies grease, and never pack a sealed unit. Keep the old part until the machine has run properly under load.

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

What a machine meets in the northern territories is extreme cold that changes how every material behaves, which is a different problem from the national average. The parts everybody wants in February are the parts that are slowest to arrive in February.

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.
