MTD Snowblower Parts

MTD Snowblower Parts for Winter Season Repairs

MTD snowblowers are built tough for clearing driveways and walkways, but when wear sets in, the right OEM parts keep them running. Shear pins snap under load, belts wear out, and carburetors clog from stale fuel — all fixable with genuine MTD replacement parts that match your model exactly.

Whether your two-stage snowblower won't self-propel, the auger refuses to turn, or the engine struggles to start, Repair Clinic stocks the parts you need. Enter your MTD model number to find auger belts, drive belts, carburetors, spark plugs, paddles, skid shoes, scraper bars, chute cables, recoil starters, and fuel system parts.

• Shear pins and bolts: auger hits an obstacle and the pin breaks; always replace in pairs and keep spares handy
• Auger and drive belts: V-belt wear causes loss of throwing power or forward motion; measure old belt or use model number for correct fit
• Carburetors: ethanol fuel damage clogs the float, needle, and jets; carburetor kit often revives old fuel buildup without full replacement
• Spark plugs: seasonal maintenance part; Champion RJ19LM is common for MTD engines
• Skid shoes, scrapers, and paddles: wear items that adjust or replace; paddles on single-stage units lose rubber throw when worn

Find your MTD snowblower model number on the frame or engine to get exact part matches. Storm coming? We ship same-day on most snowblower parts.

MTD Snowblower Parts: Frequently Asked Questions

Why do MTD snowblower shear pins break, and should I replace them?

Shear pins are designed to break when the auger hits a rock, ice chunk, or hard object — they protect the auger shaft and gearbox from catastrophic damage. Always replace broken shear pins with OEM pins rated for your MTD model. Buy a five-pack and keep extras in the snowblower bag so you're never stranded mid-storm. Never substitute a regular bolt; shear pins are engineered to fail at a specific load.

My MTD snowblower won't self-propel but the engine runs fine — what's wrong?

The drive belt is the prime suspect. A worn or slipped belt means the engine is running but no power reaches the wheels. Check the belt for cracks, fraying, or a glazed/shiny surface. Measure the old belt (or use your model number) and order the OEM replacement — belt dimensions vary by model, and an undersized belt will slip immediately. The idler pulley can also fail; if the belt looks good, check that the pulley spins freely.

How do I find my MTD snowblower model number?

The model number is stamped or printed on a label attached to the frame, usually on the side or near the engine. It starts with "MTD" or looks like a six-digit code (e.g., 245cc). Write it down before ordering parts. If the label is faded, check the engine itself for a model number; small-engine parts (spark plug, carburetor) cross-reference by engine model too. Our model lookup tool will search for your exact machine.

My MTD carburetor is clogged and the engine won't start — do I need a new carburetor?

Not always. Ethanol in old gasoline corrodes the float needle and clogs the jets. A carburetor rebuild kit (gasket set, float bowl seal, jets) costs $10 to $20 and often restores full function. Soak the carb bowl in fuel cleaner, replace the gaskets and seals, and reassemble. If the carb body is cracked or the float is damaged, order a new OEM carburetor matched to your MTD model number. Never use an aftermarket carb — MTD engines are tuned to specific carburetor specifications.

MTD Snowblower Model Number: Where to Look

On MTD snowblowers, look for a model-number label on the frame behind the engine, under the handle panel, or on the auger housing. Clean away dirt and ice so you can read the complete number, including letters, dashes, and suffixes. Do not confuse the snowblower model number with the engine identification number, since they identify different equipment. Type the snowblower model number into the search bar, and the catalog will narrow to parts made for your entire MTD unit, including engine, auger, drive, chassis, and control parts. Using the full number gives you a faster, more accurate match and helps prevent ordering parts for a similar-looking snowblower.
