MTD Snow Blower Shave Plate

Inspect the bottom edge of the plate for significant wear, thinning, or jagged edges. If your snow blower is leaving a layer of snow behind instead of clearing down to the pavement, or if you notice the auger housing is scraping the ground directly, it is time for a replacement.

Yes, the part numbers 790-00118-0637, 784-5582A, and 753C0629 refer to the same component. They are compatible with specific MTD snow blower models, but always verify your machine's model number against the manufacturer's parts list to ensure a perfect fit.

Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools like a wrench or socket set. You will generally need to tip the snow blower back or secure it safely to access the underside, remove the old bolts, and swap in the new plate.

This product listing is for the shave plate itself. It does not include new bolts or nuts, so we recommend inspecting your existing hardware during removal; if the old bolts are rusted or stripped, you should pick up replacements at a local hardware store before starting the installation.

This specific shave plate is engineered to meet MTD OEM specifications. While some parts may share dimensions with other brands, we strongly advise against using it on non-MTD equipment, as the bolt hole patterns and dimensions are unlikely to align correctly.
