Know before you buy
These slide shoes are designed as a direct replacement for O.E. part 784-5580. They are compatible with most two-stage snow throwers manufactured by MTD in 1992 or later, including models from brands like Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Yard Machines, Huskee, and Bolens.
No, this item is sold as a single 1-pack. If you are looking to replace the slide shoes on both sides of your snow blower, you will need to purchase two of these units.
Slide shoes, or skid shoes, are designed to keep the snow blower housing at a consistent height above the ground. This prevents the auger from scraping against surfaces like gravel or uneven pavement, protecting both your driveway and your equipment.
Installation is generally straightforward, as these are designed as direct replacements for the original equipment. You will typically just need basic hand tools to remove the old shoes and bolt the new ones into the existing mounting holes on your snow blower housing.
No, these slide shoes are specifically engineered for two-stage snow throwers. They are not intended for use with single-stage models.
