Quick & easy service
I needed this part for my snow blower. I found the part number in the owners manual and googled it. That took me to ereplacementparts.com I put the art number in, it came up right away, and seemed to be the correct part, even though it was a Poulan blower, and the part said it was for a Husqvarna. (Turns out Poulan is part of Husqvarna) Part shipped the next day, came quickly, and fit perfectly.

Ordered part received it in time for next snow storm, installed in 15 degree weather only difficulty was sliding sleeve over spring as it had hardened up in the cold weather.. I would recommend doing the repair in a heated garage if available.

I replaced lots of parts using multiple tools. The only problems I had was due to rusted fasteners. I had a great experience with eReplacementParts my order arrived very fast including one part (the chute assembly) all pieces fit perfect. I did a major overhaul now the blower is running great.
