Know before you buy
This is a genuine OEM part designed for the MTD family of brands, including many Craftsman models. To confirm compatibility, check your owner’s manual for part number 731-04954 or verify the part number stamped on your existing trigger.
The distinct yellow finish is a design choice by the manufacturer to ensure high visibility. This makes it easier to locate and operate the steering control quickly while working in snowy or low-light conditions.
Standard hand tools are typically sufficient for this installation. However, we strongly recommend wearing work gloves during the process to protect your hands from sharp edges or debris while fitting the part.
Choosing a genuine OEM part ensures that the component meets the exact specifications and quality standards of your original equipment. This guarantees a precise fit and reliable performance, which is critical for the steering mechanism of your snowblower.
This product is the steering control trigger itself. It does not include additional mounting hardware, so you should retain the original screws or pins from your snowblower to complete the installation.
