The snowblower auger drive cable connects the control lever to the engagement lever on the snowblower’s auger drive system. If the auger won’t engage, it’s often because the auger drive cable is damaged, worn, or broken. Replace the auger drive cable with a manufacturer-approved snowblower part if it’s defective.

How do you remove a stuck shear bolt?

Line up the auger blade carefully and try to start with a center punch as dead middle of the bolt as possible. If you drill a hole to start then use a smaller diameter punch the sheared over metal that’s keeping it stuck in place should deform right back straight and come out.

What is the impeller on a snowblower?

The impeller shaft runs in a front to back direction within the snowblower. The impeller is attached to the driveshaft with a shear pin. The end of the impeller shaft connects to the gearbox. The gearbox makes a 90 degree change in shaft direction so that the auger shaft can run across the width of the snowblower.
