Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this fit my MTD snow blower if the old unit has a different part number? A: This assembly fits the majority of standard MTD-powered snow blowers with side-mount starters; cross-check the mounting bolt spacing and pawl orientation on your engine shroud before installation.

Q: Is the pull cord pre-installed or do I need to wind and cut it myself? A: The cord and handle are pre-installed and pre-tensioned at the factory, so the unit is ready to bolt on and use immediately after removing the old assembly.
