Mira's cut. Measure your old auger's diameter and count the splines to find the right fit. This prevents the intake from clogging again during the next storm.

I keep seeing returns for snow blower augers that jam because the diameter or spline count is off by a single millimeter. You need the exact match to clear the intake before the next freeze.

Look at the product photo to check the auger's diameter and count the splines on the shaft. This visual check ensures you are not buying a part that will not fit your machine's drive system.

How Mira kills a phone accessory

I throw out any listing whose title does not name the phone. Then I keep a short set with a real listing photo.

  • The Amazon title names this phone, not last year’s.
  • Listing photo is from that product page.
  • MagSafe / USB-C / bump cutout is in the title if the pick needs it.
  • Public rating exists when Amazon shows one — not a fake lab score.

If the title is for a different generation, I would not open the box. Check live price on Amazon.

This listing specifies the 732-04460 part number for MTD, Troy-Bilt, Craftsman, and Cub Cadet units, which is the first check to confirm the spring length matches your auger assembly before ordering.

In the product photo, count the visible coils and check the wire diameter against your broken spring; a mismatch in coil count or wire gauge is the common failure point that causes the auger to jam under load.

The title identifies this as a 13-inch wide 20V cordless unit designed for driveways, steps, and patios, which is a different class of tool than a heavy-duty auger but useful for clearing the path to the machine.

Look at the battery interface in the photo to ensure it matches your existing 20V platform; if the connector shape does not align with your tool’s battery, the shovel will not power up, leaving you to clear the jam by hand.

This cover is built from 600D material with a PU coating, a specification that matters for protecting the auger housing from moisture while the machine sits idle before spring.

Check the photo for the zipper placement and drawstring tightness; if the cover does not seal around the chute and auger opening, water will seep in and freeze, causing the internal gears to seize when you try to start the engine.

See Deal

The title confirms this is a 24-inch shave plate compatible with MTD 2-Stage snowblowers, a dimension that must match your auger width to prevent uneven wear on the housing.

In the photo, inspect the mounting holes and the thickness of the steel; if the plate is too thin or the hole spacing is off, it will shear under pressure, failing to protect the auger from hitting the ground.

This pack contains 20 sets of shear pins and cotter pins for MTD snowblowers, a quantity that ensures you have spares when the primary pin breaks during a heavy snow event.

Look closely at the pin diameter and length in the photo; if the pins are too thick, they will not snap when the auger hits an obstacle, transferring the shock to the drive shaft and causing a more expensive repair.

The listing cites part numbers 790-00120-0637 and 780-428 for a 24-inch shave plate, which is the specific identifier to cross-reference with your owner’s manual to ensure compatibility with your MTD or Cub Cadet model.

Check the photo for the curvature of the plate; if the radius does not match the bottom of your auger housing, the plate will not sit flush, leaving the auger blades exposed to the ground and prone to bending.

In the photo, verify the bolt pattern and the length of the skid shoe; if the shoes are too short, the auger will scrape the ground, causing the shear pins to break and the auger to jam against the housing.

Check the photo for the battery release button and the blade attachment mechanism; if the blade does not lock securely, it can detach during use, leaving you without a tool to clear the snow that is blocking your access to the jammed machine.
